Christmas: Give a book as a gift

yewa

I been fortunate and blessed to be able to keep doing something I love to do. As of now there is a children’s series, a true story about nature and an anthology of short stories and poetry. There is something for everyone, hopefully. They are available in print, Nook and Kindle. For Amazon they can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/zoov6dj

With the holidays around the corner why not give someone a book? Even if it is not one of mine, a gift of a book is a wonderful thing for us to explore new adventures, stories and places far away. When I am in a pinch that is what I give people on my list.

Books can fill up time at home without the TV blaring, you don’t need tickets to go to far away places and if you are waiting in line, which seems to be the case a lot, a good book to fill the time might hit the spot. For us who are readers, in my case avid reader, a book makes a great gift.

 

 

Writing contests

2012-08-29 09.55.21 I love entering writing contests. They range from free, a charge, flash fiction to only for new writers. Writer’s Digest has contests year round. Well, just hit submit for a short story contest for them. I entered in the genre of mystery/crime. The word count had to be under 4000. I won’t know for a bit but giving it a go. #writingcontest #Writer #OhIlovethisstory #Probablymakeitintoafullblownnovel

It’s a great opportunity to let your work and brand be seen. Who knows but one might just win. If nothing else it will motivate us to write,.

If you don’t know where to look just search online. There are many out there just waiting for us to enter.

One of my publishers just sent me a proof for the book that will be released on Sept. 30th. “Everyday Musings” is an anthology of short stories and poetry. It looks fantastic. The company did an amazing job. This will be my fourth book on my own. #Author #EverydayMusings #Amazed I know the picture is not doing the cover justice but was so excited I shook as I took the shot.
