Happy Thursday Everyone, It's December! It's December! Guess what that means? It means that it's the month for my giveaway days. Friday is the kick-off day! That means on Friday, I'll be hosting a giveaway of an author's in-print book that will be signed by the author for that day and mailed to the winner. Other than that, been busy prepping for Christmas and taking care of some things on my end. Hope all is well and don't forget to come back on Friday...it's the first of the December Days Write By Bethany Blog Giveaway Also, BIG NEWS and Congratulations to my fellow writer and friend, Susan C. Muller. She just had her novel published through Soul Mate Publishing! I've had the pleasure of reading and critiquing part of this novel--a Romantic Suspense with paranormal elements and, I'd say a bit of mystery, too. The Secrets On Forest Bend is now available through the publisher.  Have A Thrilling Thursday!

Happy Thursday Folks, Two announcements: 1.  Tomorrow, Nov. 11, I will be posting the author interview. Yep, you read that right...it's FINALLY going to be posted :-) 2.  Also, tomorrow, author Josephine Angelini , the author of the amazing and awesome YA Paranormal novel, Starcrossed is having an ARC give away of her sequel, Dreamless . Dreamless isn't supposed to come out until 2012, in MAY if I'm not mistaken. This is quite an opportunity (yours truly is totally ecstatic about this...desperately wants ARC of Dreamless so she can read it and review it on her blog, but that shouldn't stop you from throwing your hat in the ring).  (If I was feeling totally better I'd be jumping up and down...as it is, I'm doing that mentally). By the way...how did I find out about Josephine's give away? I was on Twitter. You can either follow me on Twitter @WriteByBethany (Bethany Averie) or you can check out my Twitter Feed in the margin of this blog. Oth...

Blog Service Announcement from Write By Bethany: I need to address this issue, because now it's affecting people who didn't have problems with posting comments before. Here's the deal:  I don't know precisely why it's happening on THIS blog...however, there FINALLY is a Q&A forum where people with similar issues have posted and gotten some answers. I'm doing my best to do what I can on my end to help you, but I don't know everything. One suggestion was to go to this blog and read up on what they say about "cookies". There's 2 other things you can do: 1.  Post anonymously and leave your first name in the body of the comment. 2.  Email me at this email address and I will post your comments for you. I'm very sorry this happens/keeps happening. I'm going to continue to try and get to the bottom of the issue. Thank you for your patience and for following my blog! If anyone has ANY suggestions, please send me an email...

Happy Monday All, Last week Robin Badillo put out the 3rd novel in her Blood Hunter (adult*) Paranormal Romance series, The Return available from Extasy Books . * I put this there as a reference to a post I posted last Friday about genre age groups. This Thursday I'm having an (adult Romance) author interview and a giveaway, so be sure to come back on Thursday, July 21, 2011. I'm on an Oreo kick again...the Reduced Fat ones actually taste like the regular (even though the fat is a little lower). Currently I'm reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (a YA fantasy/paranormal novel--that has Greek Mythology mixed in it). Just released this year from HarperTeen. Pretty good so far. What are you reading? Have A Mythical Magical Monday! So what are you reading now?
