A to Z Theme Reveal


This is my 300th blog post! :D



 This is my second year participating in the A to Z Challenge. Last year, I didn't do a theme reveal because I was sticking to the theme for my blog (writing). This year, though, I'm doing something different.

It wasn't difficult for me to figure out I wanted my theme to reflect my Disaster Crimes series. I mentioned this idea only a couple of times in comments and in my interview on the A to Z blog after last year's challenge ended. One person thought I'd do an A to Z on crimes. I'm not. I'm doing an A to Z on...

DISASTERS!

I'll be blogging about natural disasters and manmade disasters. I packed in interesting facts and even tips on how to survive certain disasters.

I hope you'll follow my blog and challenge!

Thanks for stopping by! :)



QUESTION: What do you think of my theme?

I'm a member of Tremp's Troops!

Want to help with my Witch + Ghost Blog Tour in May (or later)?

    Great theme, sounds like you had a lot of research to do. So which are more devastating, natural disasters or man made disasters?

      I did have a lot of research, but I learned a lot which was fun. I think both types of disasters can be equally devastating, but it seems Mother Nature takes the win.

    That will be an interesting theme. We might actually learn from it. If Mt. St. Helens is one of your disasters, let me know - I took a great shot of one of the eruptions.

    Love your theme choice (though I don't love disasters). Have a great time with the A-Z challenge, Chrys. I'm looking forward to reading your posts. And I don't know if I'd congratulated you on the two upcoming releases previously, but here it is just in case: Well done, you! I wonder if you have a list of tweets you'd like us to share as well? Feel free to let me know because I'm open to sharing genre other than kids' books on Twitter.

      Thanks, Claudine! I'll have to create some tweets when my ebooks come out. I'm not on Twitter, but I appreciate any help I can get. :)

    Love the theme - and my natural disaster loving ten year old, might, too!
