Still time to send your pic!

How's this for a gorgeous entry in the Cassie Photo Bomb competition?

This is Christine E, enjoying a spot of brunch at the Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder which, as any Melbournian will tell you, is pretty much one of top places for brunch in the entire world. (Even better, looks like Christine has taken a leaf out of my book and is going with a something-yummy that is served in a martini glass...)

The photographer behind the lens of this photo is none other than Dan O'Brien, the photographic genius behind my fantastic author shot.

I had previously declared the deadline for the Cassie Photo Bomb comp to be 15 April, but I'm extending it so you still have a chance to go in the running for a $100 Amazon voucher!!

Just send me a photo of you reading Cassie's Grand Plan. That's it! How simple! It can be somewhere exotic, it can be in your backyard -- either is fine by me. :)

To get you thinking, I have a couple more photos of me to share with you from my recent US trip.

This is me at the Grand Canyon. Just casually sitting right on the edge, so carried away in my reading I don't even notice the one-mile sheer cliff right behind me... not! Never fear, I was on a very safe ledge, we were just tricky with the photo angles ;)

And here's one last one of me from yet another Walmart. I tried to find my book at Barnes and Noble, but none of the stores I visited had any in stock. :( But Walmart was an experience, that's for sure!

Cassie Goes Global

So it seems Cassie is really getting out there! I have proof myself having just seen my actual book in an actual store! Check it out: Cassie in the Las Vegas Walmart!!

Yes, a silly grin, but I can't help it!

I've also been thrilled to receive more entries from readers around the world. Here is Maria M in Lucknow in North India!! She tells me that the book isn't yet on sale on shelves in the country, but she ordered her copy online. Thanks for taking a chance on a newbie author, Maria!

Maria in India! I think from that secretive smile she must be reading the
scene where Cassie and Ronan are on the beach in Perth...!

Our second entry today comes from Louise R and she's sent us a glorious photo of Cassie on the Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania.

Gorgeous scenery and gorgeous reader! 

 Here's one more submission -- this one is from me. Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of driving from Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas through the Sierra Nevadas and down through Death Valley. It is seriously some of the most breathtaking scenery ever.

Nothing to see here -- just a mad author...

After passing through all the secret US bases and missile silos (some parts along that road are seriously a little creepy and had us recalling movies like Independence Day) we stopped on the side of the road to take some photos.

I'm spending the next few days in Las Vegas and then heading for parts as-yet-unknown. I'm sure there will be more opportunities for photos of my book in bizarre places though, so stay tuned!

While I'm off wandering the the world, Emmie's global blog tour of world domination continues unabated. Check out my author blog tour page which lists all the places I'm "appearing". Comments are always welcomed!
