Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
We have no bookstores near where I live. Two towns over in Visalia is a Borders--which I frequent. I'd love to patronize a local independent--but there is none. In Bakersfield is a wonderful independent, Russo's Book Store at the Marketplace.

Judgment Fire is now a reality!

Yep, the books arrived and my first venue to display them to the public was at our local Visitor's Center. A lot of my friends came and I sold 17 books. It was a good day.


The book is now available to the public, but if you go to my website: http://fictionforyou.com you'll see a BUY button by Judgment Fire. If you click on it, you'll go directly to the publisher's website and can purchase the book for 10% off.


Now,

Judgment Fire

I'm thrilled to announce that my latest book in the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series, Judgment Fire, will debut in August. I'll have a virtual book tour--anyone like to host me?


I've been busy lately with signings, book festivals and the like.


I'm also finishing up the next book in the series and I have a great contest going:


Submit an idea for a murder victim or villain to be used in Marilyn Meredith next mystery novel.
Prizes: The first

Dear Marilyn:

I am sending this to my BookPlace friends because Gremlins are out there, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate you. Here's how my newly released The Frugal Editor can help:

• Learn what annoys agents the most--straight from the mouths of the nation's best.
• Learn what your English teacher told you was OK but has changed since you were a Sophomore.
• Learn what is absolutely grammatically correct but will annoy publishers.
• Learn how to make your Spell and Grammar Check your partner instead of your enemy.
• Learn how to avoid the scams when you select an editor.
• Learn how to partner with your editor or your publisher's editor.
• Learn how to use hyphens, ellipses and all the other grungy little punctuation marks that English teachers avoided teaching because they didn't know how to use them either.

Peter Bowerman, author of the Well-Fed Writer series says, "Don't turn in anything until you turn to "The Frugal Book Promoter."

Your bio is more of a claim to fame (in my eyes) than your books (O.K., just kidding)!

I am floored! What an amazing woman you are, can we be friends?

Namaste Marilyn, and thanks for the invite.

Maybe you could give me a few tips on the "signings" - since this is a whole new experience for me.

may your path always be bright,

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT

Come on Over

I'm over at a few other blogs today. If you get a chance, come on over to see the Christmas Decorations at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/

At http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/  the topic is Spoiled Milk. Ever sit down to read a good book and been disappointed?

If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.

Thanks,
Morgan Mandel

Paper War

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.

The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.

I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.

I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.

What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday

Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to Make Mine Mystery on Monday.

Thanks,

Christmas Card Blues Is Up at Un:Bound Today

Hi Gang,

You may be able to relate to some of it.

I'd appreciate your going over to look and leave a comment.
Thanks,

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.
