Winners Announced!

I'm back from my last trip of the summer.  It's been rather busy with two trips in June, two in July and two in August.  Two of them were for writing - the conference in Orlando, FL and a trip up to Seton Hill Univeristy to teach and meet with my mentees. I'm glad to be home for a few weeks before flying off to LA and San Diego, California in October.  I do enjoy traveling, but that was too much as I really couldn't enjoy my summer with my children.


As you can see - I've re-designed my blog.  Not me - my good friend Sarah who designs my bookmarks and did my MySpace page.  I decided I wanted something light and fun with butterflys and she whipped this together for me.  What do you think?  I love the blue butterflys that look like they're made of water.


All right - now onto the winners of SPY GLASS!  I can't believe there were 152 comments and I now how 101 followers - that's just amazing and I hope I can keep up with regular posts.


THE WINNERS ARE.....

Congrats to them All!!!

    As I said in the previous entry - loving the butterflies!

    Did you know that "Ixia" turns out to be a real word? I played it in a game of Scrabble the other day!

    "Southern African plant of the iris family with showy ornamental funnel-shaped flowers".

    "Spy Glass" is released in the UK on 17th September - YAY! Still no official release date for "Inside Out" but our branch of Waterstone's now has it in stock and it can be ordered for any customer.

    Do you know if you will be back in the UK anytime? You know you're always welcome.

    I love butterflies and after the butterflies dust in poison study I think its a very fitting theme. Love the layout. Also thank you so much Maria! Never thought I had a chance when I saw the response from your fans. I can't wait to read the book. Sent you an email and once again thanks so much for being so great to your fans.

    Congrats to the winners!

    I like the butterflies too, it is a nice looking page!

    I was able to pick up my copy of Spy Glass yesterday at B&N! I am so excited, but I am re-reading Storm glass and Sea glass before starting it. But I can't wait!

    Ugh! I got excited when I saw "Kelly" as a winner, but was very bummed when I searched through the list of comments to discover I had commented on 8/17 instead of 8/21. :-( Any chance of a signed copy anyway?

    And yes, the blue "water" butterfly is awesome!

House Cleaning

I'm cleaning out my inbox.  It's amazing just how many emails can lurk below what I can see on my computer screen.  I think they hide there, hoping I'd forget about them ;>  I've long since given up my goal of being "caught up" with all my email replies.  Now, if I'm only a week or two behind, I'm feeling pretty good. As with all house cleaning, I've been finding a few items of interest that I've posted below. Links: I'm participating in Brenda Novak's Annual Online Auction for Diabetes Research - I've donated a set of Australian Study books that you can bid on and raise money for diabetes (I'll personalize them and sign them for the winning bidder :). Here's a link to the auction (lots of goodies to bid on): http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/ and a link to my books: http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2132967 INSIDE OUT was mentioned in The Independent on Su
