The Lost Week

So where did last week go?  I've been so good about posting links for the UK TOP blog tour and then nothin'.  Well I have a pretty good guess - the Floor Guy.  Yep he struck last week, tearing up my kitchen, foyer, hallway and bathroom floors like the Tasmanian devil.  The Floor Guy was here all week, making dust as he chipped old tile out and put in new despite the overly curious attentions from the cat ("bravest cat in the world," according to Floor Guy, "normally they hide the whole time I'm here." - Not Valek - he was right in the middle of everything and I had to put him downstairs or else he would have been glued to the floor).  And the worst part - Floor Guy showed up promptly at 8 am every morning.  Groan!  I write until 3 am so I wasn't getting much sleep either.  But the new floor is in and looks fabulous :)

So what did I miss - the final week of my UK TOP Blog Tour -  The UK office is already onto promoting Julie Kagawa's The Iron Knight (a fantastic series - btw - if you haven't read it start with The Iron King and be prepared for a long night :)  But I found all the links and have posted them below in case you're interested - I answered a bunch of questions for them :)

House Cleaning

Image
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

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 :)
