For Free: Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James
This is a fun Contemporary Romance. It’s about a couple of lawyers who have the hots for each other, but are convinced they are not compatible. They compete with each other on everything from billable hours to wardrobe. About the time each starts to realize the other isn’t so bad, the senior partners pit them against one another by offering the chance of full partnership to only one and not saying which it will be. I quoted out of this […]
Find Gene’s Father’s Name
I went to my first ever live NaNo event this Sunday. Imagine a score of people sitting at a long table, all writing. That was it. No conversation, no joking, the only sound the clatter of keyboards, the scritch of pens on paper, and the rustle of snack wrappers. It was great! In an hour and a half (I was late arriving) I managed to eek out as many words as I’d done all day the day before. They aren’t […]
Real Vampires Don’t Diet and an Award
Congratulations Pam R! You are the winner. Would you be interested in a copy of Real Vampires Don’t Diet by Gerry Bartlett? It’s a fun, sexy story about what happens when a Rubenesque vampire lady and a rock star vampire man get cornered by an ugly siren. If you’re interested, say so in the comments on this post some time between now and Friday. I’ll do a random drawing from those who would like it then announce the winner here […]
The Guardian by Angela Knight
I’m giving away a copy of Guardian by Angela Knight in a random drawing from anyone who says they are interested in the comments on this post. I’ll announce the winner on Wednesday. This is from the pile of books I brought home from the National Romance Writer’s of America convention. It’s a Paranormal Romance put out by Berkley. If you get into this kind of thing, you’ll like it. The Heroine, Riane Arvid, is a time cop. She chases […]
Books and Shoes
About a month ago, when my life was as intense as it’s ever been, Gattina tagged me for a show-me-your-shoes meme. At the time I barely noticed. Now, finally, my life is looking more normal. I remember that I said I’d do it, then didn’t. Well, better late than never. These are the shoes I wear every day. I wear them in the house and out of it. I wear them with pants, skirts, and bathrobes. Except for about two […]

Chocolate Bear Contest
It’s been a very long time since I’ve held a contest. I was holding off until I got my blog moved and fixed up, but it looks like it will still be a while. I’m in the mood to do one now. Leave a comment anywhere on my blog between now and Saturday. On Sunday I’ll do a drawing and on Monday announce the winner. Anywhere? Yes, you could leave a comment on something I posted two years ago and […]

The Last of the Girl Scout Cookies
This is it, the last of the Girls Scout Cookies. I have two boxes left; 1 box of Tagalongs and 1 box of All Abouts. Who ever leaves the most comments on my blog between now and 6pm Sunday (Mountain Standard Time) gets them both. You can leave comments anywhere on my blog, even in last year’s posts, and I’ll know. I’ll go by date stamp, not which part of the blog you leave the comment. This may be the […]
Whisper Winner
Remember the Whisper Contest? Here’s the winner. Only three people placed comments on the correct blog during the correct time period to qualify for the $20 gift certificate, and the only one to qualify for the cookies didn’t want them. Sigh. Usually I write all the names, then have my daughter pull the winner from a hat. This time I just flipped a coin. Andi, you get the gift certificate, and if you’ll let me tag you yet again, I’ll […]
Thursday Thirteen 31: Contests, Real and Imaginary
1. Whisper. What do you think? Too complicated? 2. Watermelon seed spitting. I have a friend who says her brother once spit a seed over the roof of the house. Knowing her brother, I believe her. 3. Unicorn duels. No way I could come up with 13 without making up a few. 4. The TriWizard Tournament. Actually, if I include ones other people made up I can do it easily. I’m all for easy. 5. Avon FanLit. Those who entered […]
The Whisper Contest
. A few weeks ago I started a meme called Whisper. Now it’s time to hold the contest based on the meme. This is how it works. I read through all the memes that were posted by those who chose to do it and found the following phrase. He came from the bathroom, a plunger in one hand and a tool chest in the other. Your job is to find which meme has that phrase and leave a comment. I […]
Echo of a Whisper

Heather Phoenex Hearse 6. Ian The Popcorn Principle 7. Lyza Lynn Shell Game 8. […]
Whisper
We’re playing Telephone again, only this time I’m going to call it “Whisper.” What you do is make a change in the paragraph below. It can be as little as a single word or almost every word, so long as we can still recognize the paragraph you received. I’m talking about the one in the blog of the person who tagged you, not the original paragraph. Tag three people, and link to them. Also link to the person who tagged you […]
