Crimespace win

I'm happy to announce that I won the inaugural Crimespace short story competition, for a crime story with an Australian flavour. I know - as an Aussie I had a distinct advantage, but it feels good all the same. Here's where you can find it: http://crimespace.ning.com/page/page/show?id=537324%3APage%3A134495 Continue

The launch - continued ...

My launch of 'Unfettered Feet' went really well and it was great to see so many friends, relatives and writing friends turn up. Michael de Valle had pneumonia, but he came to launch the book anyway, and I'm grateful for his fortitude and his thought-provoking speech on the art of the short story. The music from my son was so accomplished, as always, but it took me a while to realise why he had bare feet (with purple painted nails, at that). They were unfettered, of course. Doh.

The launch

Well, now my short story collection has left the printers, it's time to organise the launch. I think I was too scared to start before, in case it all went pear shaped, as they say on British cop shows.

So, I've organised Michael de Valle (he's had a great deal of success with his collections) to launch it,the local community centre as the venue, for July 29 and I'm sorting out invitation lists, food and drinks. My son is a professional musician and I've asked him to play some

If you're curious about my recently released romantic suspense, come on over to one or both blogs to check it out.

Thanks,

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?

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?

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.
