Zinnia, the bees, and I are traveling up the coast in August! If you’re in L.A., Portland, Seattle, or Vancouver, I truly hope to see you at one of my events!
The following links will take you to each Facebook event for more details, and to let me know if you can make it:
Happy summer, and hope to see you there!
I really appreciate every Zinnia and the Bees pre-order as they are so helpful to me as a writer. So, in that spirit, I’m setting up a pre-order campaign for all of you pre-orderers! You pre-order my book, I’ll send you snail mail goodies as a way to say thank you. And if you’ve already pre-ordered, you can participate too!
Here’s how it works:
1. Pre-order Zinnia and the Bees from wherever you buy books: Indiebound, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or your local, independent bookstore (yay!).
2. Fill out the google form (with the link or below). (This is the honor system—if you say you ordered the book, that’s good enough for me.)
3. I’ll send you some snail mail goodies! See the picture below for what will arrive (two bookmarks, two stickers, and two custom temporary tattoos).
Hurry, I’ve only got limited supplies! This runs through July 15.
Two more cool things:
*Order from my local bookstore, Skylight Books, and if you make a note in the comments at checkout over there that you’d like a signed copy, I’ll sign the book they send to you when it’s out on August 1st! Here’s the link for that.
*Plus, one pre-order participant will be randomly selected to win an additional special prize! One winner will get a handmade crocheted bee by Afternoon Faun! Isn’t it cute?
Here’s the form to fill out in order to get your snail mail and a chance to win the prize bee!
Details/rules:Open internationally. While supplies last. Closes July 15, 2017. For every valid entry, participant will be mailed two Zinnia and the Bees bookmarks, two stickers, and two temporary bee tattoos. One prize winner will be randomly selected on July 16th, 2017 and will be mailed the above snail mail plus a small crocheted bee. By participating, you are giving Danielle Davis permission to contact you via email (if necessary), mail your items, and you’re signing up for Danielle Davis’s periodic email newsletter.
Thrilled to be moderating this Heart and Home in Middle Grade Panel at Vroman’s in Pasadena on June 2nd at 7pm!

Hope you can join us!

I had a total blast at the L.A. Times Festival of Books last weekend. What a thrill to be a on a middle grade panel with terrific writers I admire so very much and to give away and sign 10 advanced copies of Zinnia and the Bees.
Pictured below, clockwise from my left: Erin Entrada Kelly, Pseudonymous Bosch, Steven B. Frank, and A.S. King. This photo makes me very happy.
And here’s a quick video of me describing yarn bombing.
Zinnia and the Bees is available for pre-order! (The book comes out August 1st).
You can pre-order with Amazon, Indiebound, Barnes & Noble, or your local, independent bookstore.
Thanks so very much!
