You’re Invited to the Launch Party for Book 7 in the Zaria Fierce Series!

April 29, 2020 By Keira Gillett

Join me for an evening to celebrate the book birthday of Christoffer Johansen and the Return to Jötunheim.

There will be games:

  • Seriously Fierce Scavenger “Wild” Hunt – You can start anytime on the quest as I’ve posted it in anticipation of the event. This gives everyone plenty of time to do it!
  • Seriously Fierce Live Trivia Event – Play from your phone, computer, or tablet. It’s super fun and easy to do. Be sure to use a name that I can recognize and is all ages friendly. The highest scoring individual wins a prize!
  • Seriously Fierce Book Bingo – Go ahead and grab your bingo card early. Print it out or play online. Make a note of the card number as it will be used to verify your card. The individual to call Bingo wins a prize!

There will be a live reading from the book.

There will be time for questions and answers.

At some point it’s basically guaranteed that there will be a dog stealing the show. Oskar is a cutie. If you see him give a shout!

The event is hosted live on Facebook and will be posted to YouTube for replay for anyone who misses the evening. So pop the popcorn, grab a drink, wearing your fuzzy socks, and comfy pj’s and let’s have a party!

RSVP so you don’t miss out on the fun:

Date: May 1, 2020
Time: 10:00 PM – 11:30 PM

Zaria Fierce Book Talk: Melbourne Public Library 7-13-16

July 13, 2016 By Keira Gillett

I had a great time at my book talk today sharing an excerpt from Zaria Fierce and the Dragon Keeper’s Golden Shoes. The kids were great and had a lot of good questions, good interactions, and really paid attention. I’m so glad I got to meet them.

Things we learned today from the Melbourne Public Library reading:

  • How many animals make up a winter-wyvern.
  • How many animals make up a water-wyvern.
  • What an enraged water-wyvern sounds like as it roars.
  • What a water-wyvern sounds like when it’s been shrunk.

Questions for you:
If you could create your own hybrid creature, what would it be? And, can you make those water-wyvern sounds?

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing everyone!

I really like how these came out and how the set looks when they’re side-by-side. Eoghan did a phenomenal job on the cover art! 🙂 They look so pretty.

Blog Tour Stop: Keira Gillett Interview (Part 2) at Analee’s Book Snacks

June 2, 2015 By Keira Gillett

Check out part two in my interview series with Analee over at her blog Book Snacks. There I throw a friend under the bus, discuss Shakespeare and character names, and share tips about writer’s block.

Analee also gave Zaria Fierce an outstanding review. Here’s a quick sample:

A great book with vivid descriptions and relatable characters, I definitely recommend this for those of you who are looking for a middle-grade fantasy novel. 4 Stars

Thanks so much for hosting me, Analee! It’s been fun and I love the tour graphic you made for the post!
