    For a good cause …

    Author Brenda Novak’s annual diabetes auction kicked off on May 1. The event runs through May 31.

    There’s lots of cool stuff to bid on again this year. Trips, editor and agent critiques, autographed books, etc. Just about everything book-related you could ever want — and then some. Even better, the money raised goes to a good cause — diabetes research.

    Yours truly has donated some items up for bid — an autographed copy of Karma Girl and a matching T-shirt; and an autographed copy of Hot Mama and a matching T-shirt. Plus bookmarks, of course. Because you can never have too many bookmarks. :cool: 

    You can find my stuff under the paranormal section for readers. Here’s a link (scroll down to view my stuff.)

    Happy bidding!

    Every month in my e-newsletter, I recommend a couple of books — and ask people to write in with their own suggestions.  

    For May, Purple Ranger recommends the Protector series by Julie Kenner.  There are four books in the series. They are: Aphrodite’s Kiss, Aphrodite’s Passion, Aphrodite’s Secret, and Aphrodite’s Flame (here’s a link to the books).

    Purple Ranger also recommends this LiveJournal: https://chocolatescifi.livejournal.com.

    Thanks, Purple Ranger!

    BTW, if anyone wants to e-mail me some more reading recommendations, I’ll post them here on the blog.

    Happy reading!

    Needed: bionic wrists …

    4 Comments

    I know I’ve talked about the two new urban fantasy series I’m working on –one series is about a spy and the other’s about an assassin.

    I had an idea for the second book in the assassin series, so I wrote 8,024 words this weekend, bringing my grand total (so far) up to 20,126. As a result of this flurry of writing, my right wrist is killing me the way it always does when I spend too much time at the computer.

    Do you think any editors out there would pay for me to be implanted with some bionic wrists? Just a thought. I’d certainly love to be able to type 5,000 words an hour.

    Na-na-na!
