It all started in West Texas. Wildfire: A Paranormal Mystery with Cowboys and Dragons is the first book I set in my adopted home/playground of West Texas. So I was ecstatic when this showed up:
This picture is all kinds of awesome! It's in my favorite library (Stephens Central Library in Tom Green County), with the statue of award-winning Western author Elmer Kelton, librarian/reader Chelsea P. and Wildfire. LOVE it!
Even more fun is that readers have sent in pictures from Scotland, Australia and from places all around America. And I'm hoping more pictures will be coming in. The adventurous part of me can't wait to see where all the book ends up!
But the best part is that the readers are helping me with my #readingWildfire project.
Welcome to Reading Wildfire, a social experiment about connecting through reading.
Stories
are meant to be read and shared. When my kids did the Flat Stanley/Flat Daisy
project, it fired up my imagination and inspired me to create this experiment: to
send one of my stories out into the world and track its adventures, and to have
fun and do some good in the process.
For every 10th
picture received, I’ll make a $10 donation to The Malala Fund for the education
of girls in the developing world (I’m hoping it’ll add up to a nice sum at the end of
each quarter when I’ll make the donation). So if you have the book, take a picture! If you have the digital copy, put the cover on your ereader and take a picture! Then send the picture in to me at minakhan@wcc.net
Thank you dear readers & please keep sending pictures...they brighten my world & go towards a good cause! :) Here's the Tracking Wildfire Pinterest board for you to check it out.
Happy Reading!
Mina
