Cover Reveal for Another Author :-)

I've never done cover reveals, book reviews and such on this blog, but I completely support Indie Authors and I'm really excited to get the chance to help out another author.  But like I said - this is the first time I've done this for someone else, so when you see the "COVER REVEAL" post in a few days I don't want there to be any confusion.  The reveal is not for my book.  It's for another author.

My blog is participating in the Cover Reveal for Girl with Guitar by Caisey Quinn.  The cover will be revealed in a few days along with a teaser and giveaway.  So please check it out on May 15th. :-)

Thank you to everyone who entered .  My first rafflecopter giveaway was fun and I'll be doing another as soon as I can. =D

Pay no attention to that pup behind the curtain...

Then again- pay her lots and lots of attention.  She loves it and I know many people love her!  Yup, I'm talking about Laura-Glue! ("I'm Laura Glue, and Laura Glue is me ... Just calling me 'Laura' is just as bad as calling me 'Glue.'  My name is my name" - The Search for the Red Dragon by James A Owen)

There are three characters in Future Letters that were inspired by someone in my real life.  They know who they inspired, but the only one I've openly spoken about is the inspiration behind Skylar - Lil Gregor's dog.  Laura-Glue is the inspiration behind Skylar.

The rescue group we fostered and then adopted her from is having a fundraiser and my husband suggested I donate a signed copy of Future Letters for the silent auction.  I decided to do one better.  The donated copy is signed by me and Laura-Glue. 

Thank you AnimalCompassion Team for all the hard work you do to help the animals.

Blog Post about Blog Posts

Maria over at Maria's Book Blog (which is awesome!) has a couple of very cool posts I want to share.

First: To celebrate her facebook page hitting 800 likes (WOO HOO!), she's doing a giveaway!  The giveaway includes ebooks for a bunch of authors, some signed author swag and signed paperback books.  (Future Letters is one of the ebooks to be given away.) To enter her giveaway please click here.

Second: Maria has been doing some Meet the Author posts.  One of her recent ones featured me!  In addition to talking about me, my giveaway (which is still going on) and Future Letters, there's also a peek at the Nine Days synopsis along with a picture of the inspiration behind two of the characters.  To check this post out click  here.

Hope you're all having a great weekend and have a good week.

"Can I have your autograph?"

Why yes, yes you can!

Thanks to a reminder from Tawnya over at One More Chapter, I can now autograph ebook copies of Future Letters.  I did my first two this morning (which were also my first two autographs I've done for someone I didn't know).  Authorgraph is a great idea.  Only negative - if you want Laura-Glue (who was the inspiration behind the character Skylar) to pawograph your copy for you that can still only be done on the hardcopy version of the book.

It works for all e-readers.  So if you'd like an ebook autograph my author page on Authorgraph is here.  

And while we're on the subject of Laura-Glue's paw print...  Here's a picture of her pawographing the banner for Pink Paw Prints (our Komen Race for the Cure Team).

Have a great day everyone!

All Sorts of Giveaways!
