In honor of World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, I will be giving away five copies of my young adult verse novel
Orchards (see the book trailer
here) to middle or high school students, or teachers, librarians or parents of middle or high schools students. I will mail the copies to addresses anywhere in the world. To qualify, please leave a comment on this blog post below (these will be moderated) and include a few words about why you'd like to receive a copy of
Orchards. I will draw five names on September 10 sometime in the evening EDT (morning September 11 Japan time).
UPDATE: Comment period extended through September 30, 2011.
World Suicide Prevention Day aims to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented. The 2011 theme is "Preventing Suicide in Multicultural Societies." Toolkits, suggested activities and information are available via the
International Association for Suicide Prevention. See what you can do to help prevent suicide, from wherever you are in the world.
