Yep, I forgot. Never mind I'll post the answers now.

Well that one has got to be Stillwart, of course.
Picture
Hmm, pretty sure that's Appleblossom!
Picture
That's got to be 'Fairies Don't Exist'.
Picture
This one's easy, it's Nightwood! Look, there's a picture of him.
Picture
The answer to this is 'two'. Huh? I was never good at riddles.
Picture
Turn.
Picture
A leaf - I got that one, had to look the previous one up though.
Picture
This one's really clever.

But really, to understand the answers you should read the books:


Volume 1 = http://morningrainpublishing.com/project/the-fairly-stillwart-chronicles-by-scott-butcher/


Volume 2 = http://morningrainpublishing.com/project/the-fairly-stillwart-chronicles-volume-two/


and the following discount is still good (today) for both.

Stillwart Volume 2 and Results of the Rafflecopter draw

A big thanks to everyone who has been involved in the Stillwart blog tour. Both volumes of the Fairly Stillwart Chronicles were written in part to be read between parents and their children. Reading is one of the best means of bonding that you will ever have with your kids. These are the type of books I would have read to my children, I hope you enjoy them with yours.

There has been fantastic support for the book launch, Stillwart Volume 2 hit no.1 in its category for Amazon in Canada, and rated in the UK and US. Most of the sales were probably directly to Morning Rain Publishing who had a discount going (still in effect!). An excellent outcome.

During the book blog tour, arranged by Morning Rain, I had 66 new likes of my Facebook author page; the reach on my Facebook account was 7076; Facebook engagement was 685; Facebook likes of my blog were 51 and that was only me, the number of people involved was well beyond my accounts. We had new bloggers from India, Germany, Australia, New Mexico, Irish America, and Canada, all in keeping with the multicultural nature of the books. Very happy that Stillwart went everywhere. A big thanks to Priya, Jessica, the Irish American Mom, Cass McMain, Ashleigh, Anglelika Rust and Jennifer Boggart for their blogging. But also thanks to Jo for the book cover, Jaclyn for her editing and to Jennifer again for organising the blog tour.

Oh, by the way, if you do read and enjoy the books please leave a short review in Goodreads or on Amazon. Reviews help get the word out for a good book, which I hope you find these are.

 Now I’m supposed to announce some prizes. The two winners of the Rafflecopter draw were:

Mike Bratek of the US, and Priya our blogger from India!

Big congrats to you both, you can expect an assortment of prizes to be sent to you from the good people of Morning Rain Publishing. Thanks again to everyone who participated.

Cheers, from Scottie
