Guess what? My book is on Amazon!
I’ve been visiting it online at least every few hours, but it probably gets lonely when I’m not there, so you can click on the image below if you’d like to visit it, too.
Fabulous Zach at North Country books emailed on Friday to let me know that SPITFIRE would be available for pre-order on Amazon within a few days. Sure enough, when I checked yesterday morning, there it was. My mom was visiting, so I got to show off like a kid who just finished a new craft project. I haven’t seen her so proud since I made that clay pot in second grade.
SPITFIRE is available for pre-order and will be in stores on September 25th.
Note to friends who don’t live near me…
North Country Books is a regional publisher, so you should find SPITFIRE in your local bookstore if you live in New York or Vermont. Otherwise, you can find it online or ask your local bookseller to order it through North Country Books.
And one more thing…. Don’t forget to send your entry for the SPITFIRE writers & characters contest! If you’ve ever tried Lake Champlain chocolate, you know that it’s well worth 300 words. Thanks for the entries so far — I’ll start featuring some of them later this week!
I visited SPITFIRE in her oh-so-lovely digs and bookmarked the site so I could come see her again. When I left, she said to tell you she missed you and told me to tell you hi.

I like the cover. Very nice use of colour. Best of luck with it. 🙂
yay!!
Awesome!!!!
Nice reviews and one by Joseph Bruchac. 🙂
Hopefully some 5 star ratings will appear soon.
Thanks! SPITFIRE likes you and was happy you stopped by. :^)
Thanks! The cover of this book is kind of a long story. My mom is an artist with work in a Finger Lakes gallery. When North Country Books bought my manuscript, I asked if she could submit a painting for possible cover art. This one was her second submission, and they accepted it, so I get to share this experience with her!
It’s so much fun to see my book there. Just think…it won’t be too long before SEA is up there, too!
YAY! This is so exciting!
Thanks! I was beyond thrilled when I read Joe Bruchac’s blurb. He’s a writer whose work I’ve admired for years, so it meant so much to have him endorse SPITFIRE.
*chills*
can’t wait!!! (and i only have about 4 ca-trillion more minutes)
Yay for you, Kate! I imagine seeing your book on Amazon for the first time is surreal, but at the same time makes the whole book published thing very real!!
That’s totally awesome! So congrats to BOTH of you. 🙂
so proud
Yes, I am so proud. And I still have the clay piece.
Thanks, Carrie! Imagine how long your list of books will be soon!
Thanks! It’s VERY surreal. I keep checking to make sure it’s still there!
Re: so proud
Thanks, Mom…
(I would have called it a string-holder, but I figured you’d be the only one to get that joke… :^)
Love you!

Welcome to the wonderful world of obsessing over Amazon! Looks great.
Wow!! Kate that is terrific! Joe is my all time favorite Native American writer!
That’s wondeful Kate! Spitfire is on my Amazon Wish List!
