Holiday Sale, A Giveaway & Eye Candy

Next week, I’ll be out of town at a major tournament. Balancing the demands of the job and trying to put my house in order (literally) is making me stressed and tired, but I’ll get over that. In the event that my presence is a little spotty, you’ll know why. Meantime, I have several things going on that some of you might find interesting. 

My Healthy Writers Club efforts this week have been the worst since I joined up. One half-hour session since Monday.  It’s not a good thing, but at least I haven’t been eating any more than I should. In fact, I’ve been eating way less, which can have repercussions when you get to my age. Yeah, I’m getting to that stage of life when a woman becomes more delicate. Or so I’d like to think.

I’m taking part in a holiday book sale that’s masterminded by Deatri King-Bey. The prices of Distraction and the companion book, Thirteen Steps to Distraction are at rock bottom from now until December 31. There are other writers involved in this effort, so hop on over to Deatri’s site and see if there’s anything you might like.

At the Readers’ Suite, I’m giving away a $5.00 Amazon Gift Card as part of the Gratitude Hop, which ends on November 25. Go on over if a gift card would do you some good. 

Eye Candy!

In all my rushing around, I paused long enough last night to find out that Luther is back on BBCAM. Now that was a pleasant surprise and a brilliant episode, but that's what I've become used to from this weekly crime drama. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the place I’ll be staying in MoBay next week has BBCAM so I can get my fix. 

Trying to stay sane for the next week or so…

The Library...the Kindle...the Giveaways

I’m still a little buzzed from my trip to the library this weekend. I decided to have my son join because I finally got the Kindle I’ve been lusting after for ages. I won one in a competition, but let’s say it still hasn’t turned up since February. 

Since I got my clammy nibs on the Kindle, I’ve bought a couple of novels for my son, which he read in a jiffy. Now, he’s asking about the next story in the Priscilla the Great series, which isn’t out yet. Seeing as how this kindle-book-buying thing can get expensive on a small island pocket, I decided on the visit to the library. The array of children’s books wasn’t impressive, but they do have stuff that will keep him occupied for a bit.
