The Secret of Spruce Knoll by Heather McCorkle


Hi guys! Sorry to have been away so long. I've been largely absent due to deadlines and some health issues, but wanted to peek in today to give a shout out to my friend Heather to celebrate her re-release of her novel THE SECRET OF SPRUCE KNOLL.


A special edition of Heather McCorkle’s The Secret Of Spruce Knoll is releasing from Compass Press this month and she’s doing a special tour to go along with it. The special part, a percentage of the proceeds from every special edition sold (in every format) between its release date and 12-12-2012, will go toward Heather’s favorite charity that protects endangered species. Her goal is to make at least $10,000 for the charity.

Of course there are prizes during the tour which goes from December 1st through the 17th. Prizes include a symbolic endangered species adoption of the winner’s choice (a $50 donation by Heather to the charity for the endangered species of the winner’s choice, and cute stuffed animal for the winner!), signed copies of her novels and great swag. For full details, and to enter, go here.


For the tour Heather has asked each blog host to pick their favorite endangered species and she will tell us a fun or interesting fact about that animal. My favorite endangered species happens to be the snow leopard, because nothing says elegance of motion with a big appetite like approximately 100 lbs of muscle and teeth. O:)

Heather: This one always chokes me up because there are so few of them left in the wild. The snow leopard is found in Central Asia in the Himalayan region. If you’ve ever seen footage of them (which is extremely rare), you'll notice they stand like a muscle car, high in the rear end, and low in the front end. This is because their back legs are longer than their short legs, a unique combination that allows them to jump 20 to 50 feet.


You can find Heather's book both at Barnes and Noble and at Amazon.
