Have a safe and Happy Halloween…

I don’t gent any trick or treaters since there is a large development nearby that gives WAY better candy.  But just a reminder  to adult revelers don’t drink  and drive. Watch out for kids and others on the road! And have fun !

Miracles do Happen Just When you Need Them

So, I have been a little heartsick of late making me be a little more prone to migraines which is actually being sick. 

So, I saw Kelley Armstrong’s lottery for an arc of the next Rocton book and publicized it on the website, but then promptly forgot about it because I never win those things.. Well yesterday I got this strange package and I  opened it up to find, very much to my delight this beautiful thing

A little bit if wisdom from Yasmine Galenorn’s Fury Calling

Remember this, and it will make it easier: no matter who you are, or how old, there will always be somebody who can tell you what to do or not to do.

Look what I have! Advance copies of This Fallen Prey, book 3 in my Rockton series. The book comes out in February but I have ARCs now, which I’ll start giving away today. You can also win one of 10 from my publisher, over on Goodreads.
The Goodreads contest is U.S. only (it’s my US publisher) so my contest will be not-US, which seems perfectly fair ☺
If you’re in the US, go enter on Goodreads: (https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/…/257251-this-fallen-prey)
If you’re outside the US, enter mine here. I’ll give away one copy. No skill-testing question for this. I’ll make mine as easy as theirs. To enter mine, just comment below and tell me which country you live in. We’ll make a random draw of all non-US entries left by midnight Thursday.
You’ll find a synopsis for This Fallen Prey below. Chapter one is here: http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/PDFs/This-Fallen-Prey-ch1.pdf I’ll get a longer excerpt up next month (remind me if I forget!)
***
When Casey first arrived at the off-the-grid town, an isolated community built as a haven for people running from their pasts, she had no idea what to expect, with no cell phones, no internet, no mail, and no way of getting in or out without the town council’s approval. But the very last thing she expected was for the council to drop a dangerous criminal into their midst without a plan to keep him imprisoned and to keep others safe.
Of course Oliver Brady claims he’s being set up. But the longer Brady stays in town, the more things start to go wrong. When evidence comes to light that someone inside Rockton might be working as his accomplice, helping him to escape, Casey races to figure out who exactly Brady is and what crimes he’s truly responsible for committing.

So, I have been a very bad girl… 

I find myself commiserating with authors as I am having trouble motivating myself to write reviews to keep up with my reading.  I do have a few excuses though.  One, Irma( maybe that should be my top ten) as I live in the destruction zone and though I was blessed to have relatively minor damage, getting back to normal has been a bitch and a half.  But I did get a few seconds of fame

Two, I have been fighting  off a staph infection that is a resilient fighter.  That means not only do I have the infection making me feel awful but now I have antibiotics making me feel awful in ways the infection wasn’t.

So, I apologize.  My intention is to make this post pretty small, but we will see where it goes.  I have been reading and I will be working on reviews to post here.  I am also now reviewing products from Amazon, so I am getting some really cool stuff for little to no cost! On a fixed income you gotta love every free thing you can legally get…

But back to the point.  I recently watched a great show called somewhere between.  It was beyond excellent and I highly recommend it…

A Very Very Important Book Birthday…. 

So, I am currently doing my happy dance!  Shiloh Walker’s alter ego JC  Daniel’s released the sixth book in the Kit Colbana Files Haunted Blade! 

This should be a cause for celebration far and wide as Kit continues to be an amazing heroine and keep everyone in line…

The only downside is that this means the wait for Kit Colbana book 7 begins today… But at least we have something new to add to our favorite books list…
