Hi, Summer Bash guests! Party crashers are welcome, too.
For those of you who followed me for a while, you may already be familiar with what I write. However, let me share more about my writing journey by answering Who, What, Where, How, and Why questions.
WHO am I?
I’m K.A. Ramstad (of course), a creator of fantasy and fairy tale retellings. I write for children, middle grade, and teens, and you’ll see me write a review on a picture or middle grade book every once in a while.
Beyond the Bookery’s Summer Bash is coming to Facebook. It’s your chance to win a free copy of Of Dangers and Dreams. That’s right, it’s F-R-E-E.
On June 30, you’ll see a special post by me at 5:00 PM MST. You’ll see how I got into writing, tips on how to be a better writer, and more of a sneak peek of my upcoming middle grade book Starlight.
You may have already heard about the Summer Bash hosted by Beyond the Bookery. It’s an online party where you can explore different authors and potential favorite reads. There’s even a giveaway to win cool stuff, like BtB releases, highlighters, and fun goodies like a possible crocheted bookmark.
And guess what? You’ll get a chance to win your own copy of Of Dangers and Dreams (featuring my dire wolf story)!

With a Game Idea”
Have you heard of Liu Bolin?
He’s a Chinese artist who’s the innovator behind a series of pictures where he’s the “hidden Mickey Mouse” in each one. He’s actually blended into the background, so you can see his shape only if you look closely. In a way, it’s like I Spy or Where’s Waldo?
NOTE: I wrote this post on the day of Father’s Day, but I’ve been a bad girl and neglected to select the “Sticky” feature. So, this post wasn’t featured on the top of the blog. Aaarrrgh! I greatly apologize for this, and to all you dads, I still remember you. The following activity from ClubhouseContinue reading “To All You Dads Out There! (See Note)”

Hi, all. Don’t forget my writing challenge, which I posted last week. I actually wrote my own little tale in the comments (and you’re free to add another scene to it if you want). Here’s the button that leads to the post.
