It's Book Launch Week!

Don’t Lick the Minivan officially launches on Wednesday, May 22 so it’s a busy week.

MEDIA: Tuesday, I’m on Calgary Breakfast Television at 7:12 AM and then on Alberta Noon’s call-in show on CBC Radio from 12:30-1:00 PM (unless the rumour about Edmonton’s mayor retiring pushes me out of that latter slot). Both segments are live which means you have the opportunity to watch/listen to me mess up in real time!

TWITTER PARTY: On Wednesday, from 9-10 PM Eastern Time (7-8 PM Mountain), I’m throwing a book launch party on Twitter. Join me under the hashtag #DontLickMinivan for six awesome giveaways. If you’ve never been to a Twitter party, it’s time to start.

BLOG TOUR:I’m going to be getting around this week, IYWKIM. Look for me at Scary Mommy, Paige Kellerman, and Kelley’s Breakroom, to start. Links are coming.

BOOK NEWS: Last weekend (May 12), I had an awesome traditional book launch party that over 100 people attended. I’ll post about that eventually.

Leeanne, if you want to drop a book blog post on my site as part of your blog tour please let me know. The floor is yours! My wife loves your title by the way. I have been meaning to do a post about your book but life here has been crazy. I still have the pictures I stole from your site to kick on off though. Good Luck!

Breakfast Television was the only thing that got me through living in Calgary, many moons ago. I’m delighted to tune in to see YOU, my love, being fabulous. I’m all, “Hey, Ironic Mom? Yeah, we’re friends.” You know, name-droppy and all. “She’s an author, you know….”

SO freaking excited for you, mama. So happy to be in your sphere, reading your stuff and laughing out loud.

Reblogged this on You've Been Hooked! and commented: Leanne Shirtliffe is everything I’m not: affiliated with an actual publisher, a regular on a version of Breakfast Television, a capable parent who knows how to spin her parenting mistakes into funny yarns and a good soul who has it all together. This is my contribution to her media blitz. Enjoy and I’ll see you soon…

Reblogged this on OUR LIFE IN 3D and commented: One of my favorite writers and funniest lady, I know, Leeanne Shrtliffe(Ironic Mom) has a book being published this week, “Don’t Lick The MiniVan”. How many out there have some children, raise your hands. Now those of you with hands in the air, how many of those kids can be the cutest thngs you’ve ever seen? Keep your hands up. And how many of you with your hands still in the air have kids that have done, or said some things that have you scratchin’ your heads thinking these kids can’t possibly be prodigy of mine! If so take a look at Leeanne’s book. She’s a fun read (I hope I can say that about her) and maybe, just maybe, she can remind you of some of your own stories with your own Minivan Lickers! Have fun! Check the Ironic Mom out. And have the best Memorial Day ever…
