Master of what???
September 22nd, 2006

Okay, my good friend Allie sent this to me. My least favorite quote? “You have no right to question him.”
Sad thing is, this was only 50 years ago! Ugh. I think I might be sick.

What???

So who gets rewarded? Contest winner!
September 21st, 2006

Thanks for everyone that posted comments over the last two days - I’m so excited to see Hermano’s story in print in The Reward! Now to haunt Borders and Waldenbooks until it shows up.

Anyhoo, without further ado, the name drawn from the “bucket” this morning from all the comments is…

Stephanie!! (DragonStar1974@aol.com)

Congrats girl! E-mail me at your choice of The Bounty or The Prize in paperback and your snail mail addy and I’ll get it out to you tomorrow!

AND, that’s not all… (can you feel the excitement?) If you posted over the last two days, you are entitled to a set of my bookmarks! All you need to do is e-mail at with your addy and I’ll mail them out.

Everyone is a winner in my corral.

Contest Day Two!
September 20th, 2006

Still rolling along everyone! Keep on posting to win a copy of The Bounty or The Prize in paperback with matching bookmark! Everyone that posts on my blog Tuesday and Wednesday (September 19-20) is going to be entered in the drawing.

Joy told me she saw The Reward at Borders last night! So cool! They don’t have them yet in the Borders around Raleigh, but I haven’t checked Waldenbooks yet. Woop!

Anyhoo, so it’s Wednesday already and tomorrow is the first day of fall officially - the autumnal equinox. Sounds fancy when you say that way, doesn’t it?

So tell me, what’s your favorite memory of fall? Mine is watching my kids jump in the leaves after we spent hours raking them. They had so much fun running and jumping.

My second favorite memory is the electric bill going down because the air conditioning isn’t running 24/7. Tomorrow is only supposed to be 75 (wooooo!) with a low of 48! Wowza!

Okay, let ‘er rip. Everyone share their favorite fall/autumn memories - including Halloween and Thanksgiving of course.

Celebrate with a reward!
September 19th, 2006

Woohoo!! Today is the official release day in print of The Reward, book 3 of the Malloy family series.
Read the book that Rachelle at Fallen Angels Reviews gave 5 Angels and a Recommended Read! “The Reward is another magnificent creation from the mind of a brilliant author.”
You can buy it at MBAM, on Amazon, and buy it with The Prize for a special price of $24.10 for both!
You can also get it on Barnes & Noble, or from your local Borders store.

To celebrate this momentous occasion (because I NEED to celebrate), I’m going to have a little giveaway!
Everyone that posts on my blog Tuesday and Wednesday (September 19-20) is going to be entered in a drawing. For what, you may ask? For a choice of paperback of The Bounty or The Prize with matching bookmark of course! *gasp*
Worth playing for? Come on, let the games begin!

Snarky allergies…
September 18th, 2006

I had a suspicion that I was allergic to some kind of food… through experimentation of my own, I thought it was wheat. I made an appointment at my allergists and headed off to be pricked this morning.
Welll, it didn’t turn out quite like I expected. Not only did I test positive for wheat, but I also tested positive for soy! *gasp* Soy is like a total staple in my diet - a high protein ingredient in a lot of the food I eat.
*sob*
*sniffle, sniffle*
What the hell am I going to eat? Ye gods, that eliminates like 90% of food! Not only that, but the food I have to buy to be wheat free or soy free is expensive. Cashola, man. NOT what I need right now.
So everyone send me good vibes that I find something other than eggs and cheese that I can not only afford, but that I can eat.
