Ok, this is unforgivably late - but I'll say I'm sorry anyway. For the first half of September, I was finishing up a draft of LEVEL 2's sequel and then I went to Kyrgyzstan. There just aren't enough hours in the day.
In any case, here's what went down in the second half of dystopian August. (First half recap here!)

THANK YOU!
Thanks to all your comments and tweets, I had a blast during this year's Dystopian August. Because LEVEL 2 will be fresh out in the world next February, I can't commit to a full month of dystopian activities ... but the merit badges are not going away! You'll see them again ... and Presenting Lenore will always be a place to discover and discuss dystopian works.

First off - that zombie chicken badge is just about the neatest badge EVER!!!
Second off, Dystopian August rocked and I loved all the interviews, posts & giveaways!! Dystopians are my favorite genre and, I'm happy to say that I've gotten my daughter thoroughly hooked on them, too lol ;D
Lastly, thank you for all the sweet, generous giveaways!!! It's appreciated more than you know <3
Wooo! Epic Dystopian August as always, dear.
Yay! I won an Apocalypsies book. *dances* Oh, I've read 50 of them now! And I'm reading two more right now, though both are sequels.
I won I won I won! Yay! :D Thank you so much. <3 I have loved your Dystopian August posts :) You must continue with it ;p <3 You are the best. :) Thank you <3
Love, Carina
Thanks for another great Dystopian celebration month. I suppose publishing a book might be a good excuse not to have one in February :)
p.s. I made a pre-order for your book on amazon.
just wanted to share.
yours, danny.
