Last week, I heard about this book, and this determined author, an author so determined, so positive, and so loved that her book was published after she passed away from cancer. Her story moved me, and her book, Poison, sounds like an awesome read, so I signed up to spread the word.
If you haven't heard about Bridget Zinn and Poison go to this link here.
But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart…misses.
Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king's army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she's not alone. She's armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can't stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?
Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she's certainly no damsel-in-distress—she's the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

I read about Bridget Zinn on another blog last week. What a moving story!
She may have passed on, but she will still reach out to people and touch lives via the book...
So wonderful that her legacy lives on through this book!
I've read about her book and story on a couple blogs lately. Very touching. So glad her book is a gift she left.
I heard about this too and spread the word on Facebook as I've been too busy on the blog to post anything about it. Looks like a great book.
Sad story. Her vision lives on though.
Oh, wow! Compelling personal story, too. Good of you to help spread the word! Looks like a good book.
I really enjoyed this story! Loved the little pig ;-)
So sad that the author didn't live to see her dream become reality, but awesome that other people took on that dream and made it happen.
Such a beautiful cover. Bittersweet the author never got to see it.
It's a great legacy to leave. I wish Bridget's family all the best.
Michelle - I think it's powerful that she will people with her words.
Amy - I agree!
Julie - it is a sad story, but one with a glad ending to it as well.
Natalie - I know, I haven't read it yet either, but it looks really good.
Alex - yes it does!
Hart - Yes it does, and it is a compelling story!
Rachel - it is awesome that she had such wonderful people in her life, who believed in her dream and made it come true!
L. Diane - yes it is.
Suzanne - me too! :)
I heard about this author too. Such a sad story. It's nice that her book finally got published, wished she could have lived long enough to see it happen though.
I agree it is a very sad story but also one full of hope. I'm happy for her that her dream is coming through, just sad that she is not here with us to enjoy it.
