Is it me, or does the mainstream *hate* e-publishing?

This hunky youth worker is NOT what the doctor ordered!
Dr. Jaclyn Donnel will fight anything to fix the inefficient health care system that let her father die. When charismatic youth worker, Sam Allen's expensive new rescue program threatens her under-funded ER, they're bound to butt heads.
Sam knows first hand that the only way out of the gutter is a hand up. He's determined to save Tasmania's street kids, regardless of cost and the sexy, headstrong doctor opposing him, until one youth demands a price even Sam won’t pay -- Jaclyn's life.
They may not save the world, but they might just save each other.

Cocktail Reviews give The Marian Kind 5 champagne flutes!!!
"...excellent one-liners that made me laugh out loud. A breath of fresh air, The Marian Kind is a must read for all romantic comedy readers."
"Witty, funny, fresh - this is great storytelling! " K. Painter- co-owner of Romance Divas
"From powerful and unexpected characters to bizarre events, this story keeps your attention. And the discoveries along the way - like how chocolate bubble bath might disagree with your average computer circuitry - only add to the fun.
Clever descriptions offer a bit of a giggle in between fast action scenes (the love interest is compared to an array of fresh-from-the bakery delights) and the romance sizzles all the way through. The Marian Kind by Babe King is a quick read because it simply won't allow the reader to step away."

Cup of Comfort for Dog Lovers
Cup of Comfort for Dog Lovers is now available in Tasmania- locally at The Devonport bookshop (in the arcade.) And of course, in bookstores all over USA and at Amazons. My short, Bloodlines and Heartstrings, leads the anthology. I love what Colleen has done with the whole volume-- so cute. It would make great Christmas presents for any dog lovers you know.
And Leo, our local seeing-eye dog in training, will likely be doing a review in his weekly newspaper column. :-)

And Cup Of Comfort picked up my short story, "Scratch That!", for their cat lovers anthology.
Color me happy!

Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I was looking at one of your comments on my page over a year ago about my pig collection. I've finally started to add more of them to the page. Check it out at www.morganstjames-author.com on the Pigs,Pigs, Pigs page. There are so many more cute ones left to put on, but I'm photographing and posting as I get the time.
