It's A Girl!

I'm a little behind in posting this exciting announcement (because my week has been CrAzY):

THE LIPSTICK LAWS was officially born this past Monday (April 4). She came into the world wearing red lipstick, weighing in at less than a pound, and measuring 5 & 1/2" x 8 & 1/2"! Woohoo! A big thank you to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (and my editor, Julia Richardson) for making my publishing dream come true!

If you see my book baby out in the wild, please snap a picture and send it to me at amy@amyholder.com. I'm thinking up a giveaway for later in the month where these pictures will earn you entries. Stay tuned...

I have a lot of Lipstick Laws related interviews and guest posts floating around the internet now. Check out my News & Reviews page for links. If you aren't already following my blog tour through The Teen Book Scene, please see details (and tour links) HERE. I will be giving away three signed copies of THE LIPSTICK LAWS. The winners will be chosen from the tour post comments.

And finally, here is the fabulous James from Book Chic Club reading an excerpt! I never thought I'd see a guy reading about April's bra-stuffing... but I'm pleasantly surprised by James! He's awesome (and brave)!



You can see his original vlog of this on his site HERE or YouTube HERE.

Lipstick Lowdown #5

Happy Friday! Today is March 4th!!! That means it's exactly ONE month before my book launches in April! I'm super excited and want to celebrate by posting my last Lipstick Lowdown countdown post. Lipstick Lowdown has been a recurring post on the 4th of every month to help me count down to my book's release date, and to celebrate all things lipstick. This month, I'm going to share the secrets of what your lipstick says about you...check out this awesome lipstick personality theory below, created by Cynthia Christ (article by Linda Gillan Griffin), and let me know if you think it's accurate.



















So, I'm curious... which lipstick picture looks closest to your own lipstick? Does the corresponding personality description accurately describe you?


Thanks so much for checking out my last Lipstick Lowdown post! Next month at this time, The Lipstick Laws will be out, I'll be participating in an online book tour through The Teen Book Scene... and I'll be holding lots of giveaways! Stay tuned!
