Spruce Knoll - Endangered Species Blog Tour



A special edition of Heather McCorkle’s The Secret Of Spruce Knoll is releasing from Compass Press this month and she’s doing a special tour to go along with it. The special part, a percentage of the proceeds from every special edition sold (in every format) between its release date and 12-12-2012, will go toward Heather’s favorite charity that protects endangered species. Her goal is to make at least $10,000 for the charity.

Of course there are prizes during the tour which runs from December 1st through the 17th. Prizes include a symbolic endangered species adoption of the winner’s choice (a $50 donation by Heather to the charity for the endangered species of the winner’s choice, and cute stuffed animal for the winner!), signed copies of her novels and great swag. For full details, and to enter, go here. http://heathermccorkle.blogspot.com/

For the tour Heather has asked each blog host to pick their favorite endangered species and she will tell us a fun or interesting fact about that animal. For my species I picked the Emerald Hummingbird.



Heather's Interesting Fact: This beautiful bird lives in the arid thorn-forests and scrub of Honduras. It’s diet consists of insects (of course *shudders*), flowering plants, and orangepipe cactus. I can’t even imagine how treacherous eating cactus would be, especially considering that I’m accident prone. Emerald hummingbirds are endangered mostly due to clearing for agriculture and hunting.

Let's all take a moment to thank Heather for stopping by and for all the work she is doing to help endangered species. And of course you can all do your part by purchasing the special edition of Spruce Knoll!!!
