All About Alligators & Swamp Hop Linky List

July 16, 2012 By C. Lee McKenzie

Available in Kindle at Amazon. Nook at B&N

While I’ve written a lot about alligators lately, I haven’t really included much about other story threads in Alligators Overhead.  There are a few WITCHES, but they’re not terribly witchy-no warts, no pointed hats and definitely no cats or broomsticks. One looks kind of like this when she’s on her way to meet with the mayor about the Ornofree Swamp.

Oh, and there’s a MANSION with a mysterious past. 


Pete’s a kid who’s always in trouble . . .Here he is a year ago when things started happening.

And Weasel’s Pete’s one and only friend, a brainiac (notice how inmagined he is) who’d rather get lost in a good book than in the 
SWAMP. 

Some wonderful bloggers are signed up for the Swamp Hop already. So in August the swamp comes alive with GIVEAWAYS, INTERVIEWS, and, if you can stand it, more ABOUT ALLIGATORS. If you’d like to add your name to the Linky List I’d be ever so grateful.

    Oh no! I missed signing up for this. Dratted vacations without internet.

    Love how set this up! The expressions on the kids are great.

    So, how does this bloghop work? Sign up and post sometime in August? Do we get an assigned date? Do you contact us about what to post?

    I grew up in Michigan and there were lots of old houses like in your above pic. I'm sure they were haunted. Spooky places with real creepy people living in them.

    Congrats on your book launch! Sorry about your family emergency. I hope everything is okay. I apologize for not seeing this sooner, as this has been a crazy week. Julie

    Yay, I just downloaded my copy! Congratulations on your book launch, Lee. I was clueless, didn't realize you were ahead of schedule. Yay for you!
    I'm so sorry you had a family emergency. You have so much on your plate right now. Sending hugs & prayers and best wishes for great success with Alligators Overhead and your other books, too!

    Love the character picks! Hey, did you get my interview questions I sent you? I sent you a follow up email to make sure but I'm not sure that went through to you either.

    Thank you all for stopping in. Of course, just when this book launched (ahead of schedule) I had a family
    emergency! Life! Anyway hope to be back soon and catching up. Can't tell you how much all of your confined support means.

    Congratulations on your new book. It sounds like a good one!

    I must admit I searched images I'd have liked for my characters in my WIP — if it were to ever get published. But I don't think I did as good a job as you've done. I love all the pics!

    Your Laos story on my blog was CREEPY! Remind me never to go there. I can't take geckos raining down on me when I sleep. 😛

    Great cover! I'll put it on my blog banner in anticipation of the launch hop.

    Whoa. I didn't realize it was available now. Off to tweet! 🙂

    Yay. I didn't know it was out right now. I just downloaded my copy.

    I also enjoyed seeing how you visualize things as a writer 🙂 I'll peek into the blogs signed up for the Swamp Hop too.

    I loved seeing the pictures that you used to show the characters and setting. I think they are quite similar to what I was imagining as I read the book!

    Just bought the book for my kindle. Can't wait to read it 🙂

    It's fun to see the way writers 'imagine' their characters and scenes. Do you do this on Pinterest? I don't yet have an account (the time factor concerns me), but I can see it being a valuable tool.

    Oh crap, the book is available now? Did I miss the release date? I can add it to my Ninja News on Friday!
