Oscar Week celebrations, Hollywood and Linc


It's Oscar week! It kind of snuck up on me, to tell you the truth...

In case you're wondering why it matters: Double Vision: The Alias Men (Linc's third adventure) sets in Hollywood, with the final scenes during the Academy Awards. It was a lot of fun to take the story there. The ending is pretty over-the-top--such a blast to write.

To celebrate, I thought I'd give away a copy (U.S. only, postage is wicked expensive overseas...) of Double Vision: The Alias Men. Later this week, I'll share some resources I found during my research for the book--all about Charlie Chaplin, silent films, and Hollywood history. Cool stuff.

In the meantime, here are the nominees for Best Animated Feature, since those are kid-friendly. I'm ashamed to admit that I have only seen the Dragon 2 movie (which was fun). Any guesses on the winner...?

Here is the full list of categories and nominees.

  1. Fleur, there was a time when I used to watch the Oscars and Golden Globe live early morning but now I catch the replays the same evening. Until then, I don't read who won the nominations. I enjoy listening to funny and intelligent acceptance speeches which are a rarity these days.

  2. It's pretty fun, you're right. I've missed the ceremonies a few times, but actually plan to tune in Sunday...

  3. Perfect week for Linc! How wonderful you are giving away a copy. Although we read it and loved it, if I won it I would donate it to Stephanie's school library (my co-author).

  4. Always a good cause :-) There's nothing better than knowing your books will end up in a school library.
