Yep, I’m late again posting last week’s book winner, which was…Monica McCabe! Up for grabs this week: Prince Charming in Dress Blues by Maureen Child I’m also blogging over at Romance Bandits today about what I’d do if I were suddenly and fabulously wealthy. Come by and join the fun! April 27th, 2008
I already blogged about my adventures in mowing this week, but after two days of helping my brother-in-law and sister-in-law move into their new home I should have some muscles. And if I haven’t lost at least some weight, I’m going to be seriously irked. I even skipped dessert and a candy bar when I had the chance. Gotta do something to make sure I can wear my conference clothes come July. It was a lovely weekend for moving. Warm, blue sky. The rain didn’t move in until hubby and I were on the drive back home. It’s catch-up week for me — cleaning the house, running errands, paying bills, yard work, culling stuff to go to Goodwill, etc. I’m also going to work on handouts for the workshop I’m doing with YA author Julie Linker at the RWA National Conference this summer and start work on a new partial that will my agent will offer my editor at Harlequin American as my option book. Okay, this week in books… The winner of this week’s books is Tori Lennox! Girl, you come out of the woodwork and win. Up for grabs this upcoming week are: Key of Valor by Nora Roberts April 23rd, 2008
No, it’s not news about my books, but my sister sent me the link to this article which says that all funding for the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program has been eliminated for 2009. I grew up in an economically depressed area, one where lots of kids wouldn’t have been able to have books of their own if not for RIF. I was among them. I can’t express how much those RIF books meant to me early in my lifelong love affair with books. I can think of few areas (except for basic requirements like food, shelter and health care) where government funds could do so much good. Speaking as someone who has an illiterate family member, the ability to read is imperative to carving out a good and productive life for oneself. Getting a child hooked on reading early is the key to setting them on the right course. April 15th, 2008
So, you all know about my home Internet woes the other day. Last night, the Internet in my hotel room didn’t work so I had to go to the lobby to check e-mail. Today, I get to the conference hotel for Romantic Times, and guess what. You got it — the Internet signal in my room doesn’t work! So, I’m in the lobby again. Oh well, at least I’m not paying out the nose for access like I usually do at conference hotels. Have you ever noticed that the more expensive the hotel, the smaller the room and the less you get for free? Hmm… I’ll post this week’s freebie books up for grabs tomorrow (I left the list up in my room and I’m too tired to go get it), but last week’s winner is Rae Ann!

I’m blogging today on two of the group blogs of which I’m a part. Over at Title Magic, I’m talking about how I pretty much ignore negative reviews, whether they be for books or movies. And at the Wet Noodle Posse blog, I’ve posted about using TV and movies as inspiration for your own writing.
