Happy Monday Everyone,


As we approach the end of November, I'm already enjoying Christmas specials on TV. This is my favorite time of year. I love Fall and Winter--I love sweaters, comfy blankets, and warm drinks.


Those of you who haven't heard, I'm doing a big giveaway in December! So far, I have at least 6 authors signed up. I've got thrillers, suspense, romance, and YA lined up. You don't want to miss this.


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I was at my parents' house and had a nice time.


So what do you like about the winter season?

I live in Maine, so the winters are a bit harsh. What's nice about the cold weather though is that my allergies ease off a little. And, it gets dark early so I can put on my jammies, make a cup of tea, and get more reading time in. Right now it's dark before 5:00 pm.

Roni,

I've never been to Maine (but I've been to several states along the East Coast--love that area--so pretty).

It does get dark rather early...not a huge fan of that part, but I do like wearing warm pjs and hot tea/hot cocoa.

Enjoy your reading and your tea--excellent combination in my opinion.

Thank you for dropping by :-)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Bethany.My cousin and her family came in from out-of-state and it went so well, we are hoping to make it a tradition.
My favorite thing about winter is the cooking...hearty stews,soups, roasts and BAKING! I have a wall oven that warms up most of the living area of our ranch-style house,so the heart-warming baked goods are also HEARTH-warming! Which also means I bake away in cooler weather and freeze a good deal of the goods because it also heats up the house too much in hot weather and I don't enjoy payig the power company to heat and cool my house at the same time. I hope your Thanksgiving went splendidly.

Tonette,

Thank you for dropping by! Sounds like everyone should be dropping in your house for yummy food! I love baked goods. Unfortunately, most of mine are from a mix LOL Although I have made some cakes and muffins from scratch before.

Hope you can make it by here for when I do my December blog giveaways :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

By
Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
