National Book Lovers’ Day!

Are you a reader? Are you an obsessive reader? Do you become enmeshed in the other worlds of fantasy, futuristic sci-fi or dystopian societies? Do you like heady romances, frightening horror, or historical recreations? Perhaps you like thought provoking non-fiction, or the vicarious thrill of a good biography. If so, you are in luck.

I was so impulsive in deciding to quickly “bookize” the serial that I didn’t plan ahead for a launch or promotions. So I begin by repeating my thanks to Sally G. Cronin for announcing Brother Love – a Crossroad at her blog earlier this week.
My weekend post included a give away of an e-book of the novella. I numbered your comments and used a random number generator to select the winner.
… And the winner is….. Dyanna Wyndesong!
Dyanna publishes Ravenhawks Magazine. Be sure to click over and say hello.
Meanwhile, I’ve just done a podcast. The amazing Annette Rochelle Aben hosted me for a fun chat. We discussed “Brother Love” and several other things. I even brought her into my writing process by playing my three things writing exercise…
