Mrs. N. is a writer, editor, book promoter, book reviewer, and probably more things that I’m forgetting right now — anyway, she has come up with a very intriguing way to get past writer’s block. Take a look at this right away if you run into any trouble with your current work-in-progress, as it may help you. And keep an eye on her blog, too — lots of interesting stuff going on over there.

Ready for some Friday Fun, holiday style?

I know I sure am, as I continue to work off my turkey hangover…so let’s get to it!

First, I’m delighted to let you know that author Nicholas Rossis featured A LITTLE ELFY IN BIG TROUBLE over at his busy blog today.  He also made sure to let people know that the first book in the Elfy duology, AN ELFY ON THE LOOSE, will be ninety-nine cents until the end of the year.

Thank you so much, Nicholas! I appreciate your help greatly.

But that’s not all…the Exquisite Quills Holiday Anthology will be out soon. I have two holiday-themed short stories in this anthology featuring shapeshifter (and woman of size) Marja and her lover/partner Tomas, a telepathic Mountain Troll. And as we also added holiday recipes, I figured my late husband Michael’s famous shortbreads should be my contribution…they are divine.

Here is a link to the Amazon pre-order page, and here is a way to help me get the word out about the EQ anthology — it’s a Thunderclap campaign, where many Tweets and mentions go out at the same time, to raise visibility as much as possible.

So, it’s a short, but very sweet, holiday edition of Friday Fun!

How can you possibly go wrong with a new, free story from Mrs. N.N. Light?

It’s free today, November 25th…go get it right now!

Sometimes, you just need to say thank you — and not only on Thanksgiving.

I need to thank three people today: Mrs. N.N. Light, Chris Nuttall, and Charles Yallowitz. All three have been extremely helpful and went out of their way to let people know that my writing exists, and I deeply appreciate their efforts on my behalf.

Why?

Well, yesterday, Mrs. N.N. Light spotlighted A LITTLE ELFY IN BIG TROUBLE over at her blog, POTL.

Today, I sent off a guest blog about the problems I had editing my novel to Chris Nuttall and asked Charles Yallowitz if he’d be willing to let people know at his blog that A LITTLE ELFY IN BIG TROUBLE is out there, too. And I figured it would be a few days — maybe even a week or two — before either thing would go up.

Oh, how wrong I was.

As you know from the previous blog, Chris put up the guest blog I sent him an hour ago.

And now, Charles put up my announcement as well, plus a quick excerpt that’s different from either the one Chris has, or the one Mrs. N has. (I like variety, and I hope you do, too.)

I may not be a wealthy person as far as money goes, but I am wealthy in my friends.

Thank you.

And bless you all.

I read PLANTING THE SEEDS OF LOVE, and thought it was a fun, fast read with a lot of true-to-life romantic entanglements. I enjoyed this novella, reviewed it at Amazon (giving it a solid four stars; at SBR, I’d have given it a B-plus, but Amazon doesn’t allow for gradations) and my recommendation.

Give this one a try. You’ll enjoy it.

I’d meant to get this up a few days ago when the sale was still ongoing…but my computer upped and died.

(It took a few days for me to get back up and running, but here I am again.)

Thanks much to Sally Cronin, who let people know about “To Survive the Maelstrom” being out there — and about Pat Patterson’s wonderful review!
