Get to Know Leigh Michael Even More
Leigh Michael is a debut author… so you probably don’t know much about her. Let’s change that! Take a look at the 10 facts below. To learn even more, be sure to check out The Wormhole from October 8, Read Write Reviews from October 18, and Reader Girls from October 22. Enjoy!
1. I’m a Capricorn, and so is my character, Annabelle.
2. My heritage is mostly Italian and Scottish.
3. I use a different color pen everyday at work.
4. I love the smell of fresh cut grass and burning wood. Together and separately.
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is my favorite Harry Potter installment.
6. My husband and I just recently jumped on board the CrossFit craze.
7. Lots of authors listen to music when they write, but it doesn’t work for me. I get writer’s block from the beat and lyrics.
8. I choose to write about the underwater world because my sister-in-law is a marine biologist.
9. During March Madness, I always pick Villanova to go to the final four (even when it’s not our best year).
10. I’ve run 3 marathons.

Series summary:
Annabelle Walsh thought she had it all. She was the star of her swim team, had a loving family, a great boyfriend, and to top it off, she’d be starting at UCLA in the fall. One day, she’d be referred to as Dr. Annabelle Walsh.
She was living every girl’s dream – until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she’s not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.
With a mix of current events, anecdotes from Greek mythology, tidbits of folklore, and Leigh’s own imagination, we join Annabelle in her journey to restore order beneath the sea. Each step of the way her mind, body, and soul are pushed to the limit begging the question, how much can one half-human, half-sprite take?

Twiathlon! Will YOU be going?
Cinema tickets for the Twiathlon (where you get to watch ALL of the Twilight saga back-to-back including the eagerly awaited Breaking Dawn Part 2 which will be shown at midnight on the 15th November 2012) have gone on sale today. Who’s excited? Who’s going? I’ve already booked my tickets for the Twiathlon. I know, I know I could watch it in the comfort of my own home saving me some pennies and just go see Breaking Dawn Part 2 but eeek I just love the atmosphere at the cinema and the fact you’re watching it with fellow Twihards! My sister and I went last year. It was so much fun and are so psyched to be going again this year. We’re even dressing up for it. Yup! Though I can’t reveal what we’ll be wearing as these outfits will also be making an appearance at Eternal Twilight 8 (A UK twilight convention which, oh my god, is a week on Friday)! Let’s just say, I think the cinema staff may think we’re crazy when they see us!

If anyone else knows of any other cinemas that are showing it, please feel free to comment.
