MMGM for December 7, 2020

           Welcome to our first MMGM of December

It’s also a special one. Three years ago, author Shannon Messenger contacted me. LODESTAR, Book 6 in her wildly popular KEEPER OF THE LOST CITY series had just been released  and she needed help. Would I consider taking over her other creation, MARVELOUS MIDDLE GRADE MONDAY? I said yes and my Sunday nights have never been the same!

Last month Shannon released book 8.5 (UNLOCKED) in the series and MMGM is still going strong. A big thank-you goes out to the many bloggers who make it possible. And another thank-you to the readers—including authors, parents, teachers, publishers, and students. You’re the reason I do this.

It’s time to celebrate with a huge giveaway, detailed after the MMGM lineup below. My gift to bring a little happy to a less than happy year.

(Note: No December vacation for MMGM. With the month’s holidays occurring on Friday and weekends, I’ll have an MMGM each Monday in December. Participate if you can or take some time off and enjoy the season.)

    Hi Greg. Three years ago, you were gracious enough to read and review the first book in the Spamly Warthington series. We’ve just released the second book: Spamly Warthington: (mostly) Secret Agent — The Plot Tick’ns, and would welcome the opportunity to send you a book for review.

    Thanks, and keep up the great work.
