A special edition of Heather McCorkle’s The Secret Of Spruce Knoll is releasing from Compass Press this month and she’s doing a special tour to go along with it. The special part, a percentage of the proceeds from every special edition sold (in every format) between its release date and 12-12-2012, will go toward Heather’s favorite charity that protects endangered species. Her goal is to make at least $10,000 for the charity.
Of course there are prizes during the tour which goes from December 1st through the 17th. Prizes include:
- a symbolic endangered species adoption of the winner’s choice (a $50 donation by Heather to the charity for the endangered species of the winner’s choice )
- a cute stuffed animal for the winner
- signed copies of her novels
- great swag
For the tour Heather has asked each blog host to pick their favorite endangered species. We chose the emerald hummingbird.
Christy: Hummingbirds are magical. This past summer I finally bought a hummingbird feeder and sat watching it faithfully. I only spotted a couple all summer long. Mostly, I fed the thirsty bees in my neighborhood. While the emerald hummingbird does not live near me in Wisconsin, please help us protect this amazingly enchanging bird!
Erica: The hummingbird feeders at my house have attracted a number of ruby-throated hummingbirds, including a couple that have nested in the same tree for the past few years. (and yes, a number of hornets, too - not to mention ants). My kids have always been fascinated by the little creatures and continue to argue about whether or not they can pet one!
Heather: This breathtaking hummingbird lives in the arid thorn-forests and scrub of Honduras. Honestly, I had no idea such a beautiful bird existed before this tour and now to find out that it's critically endangered is so sad.

Once, a hummingbird stopped about a foot in front of my face and just held there, looking at me. I stayed so still, feeling like I was in a magic zone for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteLove this tour and best wishes, Heather!
