Okay, Danette! Violet Raines belongs on my bookshelf! (tee hee)
One way or the other, Violet Raines will get there, too! *G*
Can't wait to read it!

Here are some "Violet" quotes for Violet Raines to enjoy...
"Stars will blossom in the darkness, Violets bloom beneath the snow." Quote by: Julia C.R. Dorr
"The modest, lowly violet In leaves of tender green is set; So rich she cannot hide from view, But covers all the bank with blue." Quote by: Dora Read Goodale
"The violets thinks, with her timid blue eye, To pass for a blossom enchantingly shy."
Quote by: Frances S. Osgood
Hugs to you and Violet...Brenda

Oops! The message said they couldn't process my request to post my comment so I tried a second time. As you can tell I'm not very adept at blog stuff.

Congrats Danette (and you too, Violet!) Can't wait to read it.
Loved the Kirkus review of Violet Raines Almost got Struck by Lightning. How neat was that? Great cover by the way.
I can't wait to read Violet Raines. Congratulations on both the book and the great review!

"Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning" is one of the best titles I've heard in a long time. Now that I've read the Kirkus review on Verla's board I am itching to read your book.
So... please pick me!
Here's one more Violet for good measure.
Violet Raines sounds like a winner to me! I'm excited about your new book's upcoming publication and plan to read it, one way or another.
Pssst ... Violet. VIOLET RAINES, over here. Yeah, me. Pick me, V!
Danette V.
Violet and I are meant to be BFFs!
I would never put Violet on a bookshelf. That's for dust collectors like Shakespeare and the encyclopedia. And besides, Violet would never stand for sitting still high up on some bookshelf collecting dust. She needs to move, to live, to explore and be read, read, read... by me, by my kids, by all their friends, by all my writer friends... And she needs to be given as a gift at birthday parties. She needs to go on car rides and bike rides, on camping trips toasting marshmallows by the fire. She needs to be read under a blanket with a flashlight, even though Mom said it's time for lights out...
On please, oh please, oh please. I would love to win your book! I promise to read her and take very special care of her.
Please, please,
can you let
me have the book
about Violet?
Congratulations, Danette.
The cover of your book makes me feel like a kid again - okay- almost. At the very least it makes me want to sit and read kids books day in and day out. I'd love to start with Violet Raines!!
Congrats on the "almost here" release. How very exciting!!
Roses are red
Violet is blue
A book for bed
and some jerky too.
Okay bad poetry aside I had to enter for this.
The poems are great! Travis, if you win, you must write back and tell us about the jerky!
I'd love to enter, too, Danette...
a violet is a violet is a violet
is a violet is a violet is
a violet is a
violet
Happy book launch!

Congratulations, Danette!!!
And congratulations on the almost birthday of Violet Raines! Florida writers are rocking the children's book world!
Have you or your publisher contacted www.teensreadtoo.com to review your book? (I have a niggling feeling that I already asked you this and someone at TRT is already reviewing it, but I can't remember for sure.)
Let us know. And tell Jen, our TRT administrator, that this reviewer would be pleased to review it for her!
I'm so thrilled for you!

Congrats on Violet. I think I should win since VIOLET is my favorite color!
Lisa Mullarkey

Hi Danette, I just wanted to repeat my congrats on the fab Kirkus review for Violet! And now that I see you have a giveaway going I'm even more happy that I stopped by :)
Wishing you continued success with Violet Raines Almost Got Struck By Lightening!
Violet is a great cover! Congrats!
YAY -- I'm number 40!
Violet were her eyes, flashing with lightning. Or were they flashing with lightening? No, no, they weren't flashing with anything, they were full of thunder...
(Seriously, though, I can never get the spelling right between those two. The number of times I've embarrassed myself -- gee, you'd think I'd learn.)
Even if I win, I'll buy a copy of your book!
Hey Danette!
Think I'll join the rest of the blueboarders and try to win a copy of Violet Raines Got Struck By Lightening. Can't wait to read it!
