Welcome to… Spensations
Hey Everyone and welcome to the first Spensations post.
Introduction:
It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me how much I adore Spencer Hill Press. They are to me one of the best, if not THE BEST, publishing company out there. Every publicist who works there is just amazing and totally puts up with me totally fangirling over them and their books. The authors are just so amazing and don’t mind if you just email them to tell them how much you want to read their book. They do so much for me by sending me their uber awesome ARCs and swag so I wanted to do something for them and so came up with the idea to have a monthly feature to advertise their books/authors etc.
When thinking about starting this feature I had to come up with a name and I am so not a creative so asked for some suggestions from SHP authors. I took some of the suggestions and mixed them up to come up with Spensations. I really think it fits as I believe that every single SHP book is sensational… and then I had to have the tag line of ‘the latest hot picks from Spencer Hill Press’ because well they are all so hot.
A massive thank you to Lisa, who designed my crazy awesome banner. Isn’t it amazing? I am just in love with it! Lisa is epically amazing.
Spensations will be kicking off in two weeks (April 1st) with an interview with Kimbery Ann Miller, author of upcoming Triangles and there will be an interview and giveaway every month.
Now because I love SHP books so much to welcome you all to Spensations I am giving away ONE Spencer Hill Press book that is already released. Here is some of the books you can choose from.
Giveaway is open internationally as long as The Book Depository ships to your country.
All you need to do is leave me a comment saying who you would like me to interview as part of the feature and which book you would choose if you won.
If you don’t leave you email address you can’t be entered.
I hope you are looking forward to Spensations

I'd like to see Kate interviewed, so we can get to the bottom of what makes her mind tick and how the heck she copes with her daily to-do list. š

The feature is amazing! I do agree, SPH guys are wonderful and absolutely kind! And their authors are so, so lovely! I'd love if you could interview Rachel Harris!!!
As for the books, mmm, I'm torn. Master of the Veil or Finn Finnegan?

This feature is a great idea! I can't wait to see what kind of posts we'll get to see as part of this. I would like to read an interview with Angela Townsend!

I also would like to see an interview with Michelle Pickett, author of PODs. It's a book that really has my interest. I love JLA, but I'd like to see some fresh faces from SHP interviewed. Now, which book would I like if I won….that's hard…I'd pick…Minder by Kate Kaynak. Thanks and I look forward to your SHP posts!
