Leigh’s Favorite Books is a wonderful little bookstore in Sunnyvale, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley where Penryn's story takes place. Leigh, the owner, is super helpful with recommendations. As if that wasn't enough to entice you, they have a limited supply of signed copies of Angelfall, World After and End of Days!
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for all your comments, cheers, and shares! The following students were chosen at random and are invited to send me one essay each. I will read and help focus your message. You can let me know if you’d like help in a specific area such as “Please help me reduce the word count to 600."

Best wishes to all my college bound readers! I’m rooting for you to get into your top choice!
I just learned that US college essay deadlines are in a few days. I want to help my readers get into college!
I’ll randomly pick 5 students to read their college essays. I’ll do what I can to help focus your message. Hopefully, they’ll fall in love with your essay and beg you to come to their college with a big, fat scholarship. :)
Comment, retweet, repost, etc. to let me know you’re interested. I will pick 5 commenters/retweeters/reposters at random. Check back tomorrow night (Sat)--I’ll post the online names of the five winners.
Since it’s your essay, I will not write or rewrite the essay for you, but I will make suggestions to help sharpen your message.
No purchase of ANGELFALL, WORLD AFTER, or END OF DAYS necessary, although I’ll always have a special place in my heart for my readers. :)
Some friends have created a puzzle room in San Francisco! Their opening night is this Saturday. Escape from Mr. E’s Elaborate Enigma is a puzzle room themed after the letter E. Yup. It’s an Eeee room!
Mr. E is no relation to me, but I think it’s a really cool name. :)
What’s a puzzle room? Here’s their description:
Trapped in a room full of mysterious artifacts and racing against the clock, groups must decode the clues and puzzles around them in order to escape. Puzzlephant Productions is part of a new breed of local escape room companies tapping into the young tech crowd’s desire for tangible, immersive, and participatory entertainment.
Check it out at puzzlephant.com. Oh, and Mr. E sends Ee readers a nod of respect by giving us a discount code! Type in “EeFan” for a 20% discount. Enjoy!
Thank you for your patience! I can't wait to share it with you. :)
