June 15: Date of Awesomeness



Past Greatness

1752: Ben Franklin said lightning is electricity, canceled further kite-flying outings

1920: Denmark won northern Schleswig from Germany in a poker game

Future Epicness

This year, June 15 sees the debut book launches of two of Super Agent Chris's clients: Jacqueline West (also his first client) and Shaun David Hutchinson.

Jacqueline's THE BOOKS OF ELSEWHERE VOL 1: THE SHADOWS is a fantasy for middle-grade readers (and adults!).

Shaun's THE DEATHDAY LETTER is a fantasy for YA readers (and adults!).

And I'll have interviews with Jacqueline and Shaun right here at daily pie!

In the meantime, check out their books at the links above. Don't miss Shaun's giveaway of a signed copy of DEATHDAY.
