Title Schmitle

(Yes, I am that brain dead. I just can't think of a title!)

It's the weekend -- almost! Not that it really makes a big difference to me, but it's still nice to heave a sigh and think back on everything accomplished.

First, a BIG thanks to everyone who agreed to review my book on Dec 1 on Amazon! I think I've sent it out to all who requested it, so if you didn't get one, please let me know.

Theresa Milstein's is holding a Haunting Halloween contest with international prizes. Check out her blog here!

The wonderfully crazy Candyland is holding I Heart Joy Like BR80 to raise money for women, children and families in Ghana. Head over to help out!

Susan Fields is also having a Back From Hiatus Contest giveaway with lots of great books. Go here for more.

Congrats to Clarissa Draper, who's just signed a contract with WiDo Publishing!

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'm off to Portobello Road for some cupcakes!

    Red velvet cupcakes are the best! Especially the frosting... yummy.

    Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

    Karen, I had a mini-meltdown last night, realizing people were reading my book! But thanks to the wonderful people around me, I'm back on track! :)

    I fancy going to Portobello for cupcakes too. I've never been there but it sounds exciting and just a little romantic, like Carnaby Street or Petticoat Lane.
