‘Listen to yourself more than you listen to other people’ Advice to her 15-year-old self from Author Peg Cheng

One of Our Kind Boarding School Holiday Newsletter

December 13, 2016

Putting together the blog tour with Prism Book Tour has been so much fun!  I’m grateful for the kind reviews from the bloggers, and even more grateful that so many of them took the time to read my story at all. The Holiday Newsletter has been posted page by page over the last two weeks. If you’d like to read the whole thing, and find out what the TINAWS’ characters have been up to the last few weeks, then head over to Prism Book’s Grand Finale and you’ll be able to read all 6 pages in order.  There are some really nice reviews there, too.
