Updates + Links

Not the most exciting blog title, but accurate.  This is just a quick update with some links.  Tomorrow I'm going to New York City to attend the Prism Awards - wish me luck!!

For those who don't get my free email newsletter, I've finally received a few confirmed events for my Australian/New Zealand tour in August!  Info can be found here: http://www.mariavsnyder.com/AUS.php 

AND I finished the exclusive short story ICE STUDY about Yelena and Valek as they race to save the ICE MOON from a rogue magician :)  Now that my newsletter subscribers have read it, I've put it on my website for all to read!   Here's the link:  http://www.mariavsnyder.com/IceStudy.php   I also fixed the broken link to PROTECT THE CHILDREN (another of my free short stories).  http://www.mariavsnyder.com/protect.php

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

What exactly are we celebrating?  Three things.  One - I've over 500 Followers!  Considering my off again on again relationship with this blog, that's pretty impressive.  Two - I just received my copies of TOUCH OF POWER.  (author perk!) To celebrate, I'm giving away 5 copies of TOUCH OF POWER.  Just leave a comment to this post, and I'll pick winners at random.  The give away is open until midnight my time (EST) on Black Friday (that's Friday, November 25th for my international readers :)  This is open to everyone with a mailing address.  Please also leave an email address so I can contact you with the news. And three - it's Friday - that's always a good reason for a celebration :)
