Good News
Several months ago, the distributor for my novel Dead Witness, Nancy Wise from Sandhill Book Marketing, suggested I contact Theytus Books about publishing my novel Broken But Not Dead. I did. And last Saturday, October 17, I signed a contract. Note the gigantic smile on my face:

An Interview with author Martha Engber
An Interview with Martha Engber, author of The Wind Thief and Growing Great Characters from the Ground Up.
Martha wrote her first book at the age of seven. About flowers, or "flawrs," it included many lovely illustrations, including a painfully elongated, but happy, brown horse with a mouthful of daisies. Having just finished the project on the way to school, the smell of Crayon still fresh on her hands, she walked into the classroom beaming and handed the professionally stapled b… Continue

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?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan
Still Time Plus Giving 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.

With Christmas coming up, it is interesting to see all of the new Christmas stories. From Santa looking for Superbowl Tickets to Rudolf having a Temporary Medical condition prompting another lead reindeer named Fred.

Here's a recent review I just received for my newly released novel, COMA.
This suspense thriller has everything to keep readers intrigued: a witty, unconventional hero; an exciting plot that delivers non-stop action from beginning to end; a seemingly unstoppable villain; and a couple beautiful women vying to domesticate the loose cannon. This one would make an explosive movie. Think Bourne, or the Bruce Willis version of The Jackal, then multiply by ten and you’ll have an idea of what the movie version of COMA would be.
Review by Laurel Johnson/Associated with Mid West Book Review.

Glad you got a copy of the book. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for offering the review, I'll look forward to hearing your opinion of my humble offering.
Thanks also for offering to put a link up on your blog for me. My website is www.freewebs.com/brianlp and the bok has a site at www.freewebs.com/astudyinred
I don't have seperate blog as I have so many on the Ning networks, but you could include the one here on Book Place which is http://morganmandelbooks.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?user=twmockj5fzne
Thanks a bunch, and enjoy the book.
Best regards
Brian
One last note: I've always enjoyed writing in the female POV. Having two sisters and being raised by my mother, much of it comes rather easily.
Again, be well,

This is the link for the paperback at Amazon.ca
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1554045274/sr=1-1/qid=1205086280/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1205086280&sr=1-1&seller=
All of the others have it as well of course, and the publishers have a link to take you straight to Amazon.com if you want the paperback from http://www.double-dragon-ebooks.com/single.php?ISBN=1-55404-524-X
It is selling far better in paperback than e-book I must say.
Hope this finds you well, and I hope to see you at the Candian Authors Network soon.
Best regards
Brian
I've heard about the post in Canada. The book is available from Amazon.ca, but it may be quicker (and cheaper) to get it from Amazon.com in the US. It's funny, I have a Canadian publisher but the book is delivered faster if ordered from the States. By the way, you might like to join me at The Candian Authors Network at http://canadianauthors.ning.com/
(I was allowed to join because of my publisher being in Canada.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Best regards
Brian
I do hope you enjoy A Study in Red. It should keep you on the dge of your seat at the very least, I hope. Most people have said in their reviews that they found it hard to put down, so I hope it draws you in as it has so many others. I'll be interested in your thoughts on it when you've read it.
Warmest Regards
Brian
Thanks for your congratulations. I appreciate it very much. I hope you enjoy my books if you get any of them. 'A Study in Red' is doing especially well just now. One of our dogs (we have 6 rescue dogs) is abit like that. We have to exercise Alfie on a horse's lunge line because he loves to run off and do his own thing. Mind you, we've only had a short itme and are still training him, so there's hope yet.
Best regards
Brian
