Contest Time

Flashback is doing well in sales, so I'm pretty happy about that. Here's the blurb:
Rachel Everly won’t stop until she uncovers every painful secret that led to her sister’s tragic decline and suicide. Who was the monster that drove Mallory into death? Facts point to Kyle Scanlon, a sexy mechanic and a thorn in Rachel’s side for years.
As Rachel returns to her oceanside home town and her sister’s haunting memory, she carries her own hidden terror. Driven to unravel her sister’s desperate passages, Rachel is also driven toward Kyle, who holds secrets of his own. He fears Rachel will follow her sister into the dark side. In the shadows, a killer waits to strike...

I'm getting set for contests, etc. in '12, so I hope you'll join my enewsletter, Twitter or Facebook groups. I especially love Twitter and learn a lot from the articles referenced there. Plus, I like keeping up with what the world at large and writers are doing, too.

I haven't decided which book to start off books for ereaders, but watch my Twitter posts. I'll specify for which ereader.

Special contests will pop up in my enewsletter. But meanwhile, I thought you might like to know what I'm doing this season....
  This is a photo taken near my house. I thought it would look great on some kind of a cover. Wish those were crows in lieu of starlings. I use a lot of photos and have to scan some older 35mm.

Gosh, 35mm. What a shame. I loved fiddling with those lens and filters. I got some great shots along the way, tho. Boxes of them.

  This is what we had for our non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner, apple dumplings in sauce. A little bit of work, especially if you make the dough as I did, but delicious, especially warmed with ice cream over the top.

Really, it's one of the best deserts ever.

  Here are some little kids' Christmas presents, easy, fun, cheap and sure to be appreciated.

These are pillowcases for little travel pillows. Guess what? Big adults like them, too.

  I'm still working on this one, but my goal was to start painting again this year.

It's really scary to pick up brushes and paints again, after so long. This one is "cooling", a time to stand back and think about what is that last change.

It's like writing. When finished, it's good to take a pause, sit back, do something else and the masterpiece "cool". Some great twist, etc. or change is sure to pop up. But so important to get some distance from the piece.

I hope you enjoyed the visit and don't forget to sign up for my enewsletter, because I'm starting contests there in '12.

Whew! I just made it before the end of the year. :)
