Chicken Soup for Christmas
If you missed it, a few months ago I made my cats famous in Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from my Cat. You can check out the post HERE . I'm back with Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Spirit of Christmas. It actually went on sale October 14(my birthday!) but I decided to wait until a little closer to Christmas to announce it. And since it's flurrying outside, it seemed like the perfect day. This time I'm making some of the folks I used to work with at the Republican

Holiday Giveaway from Sherri Dodd
Before you tell me to stop jumping into the holidays too early, I couldn't wait with this one because the third book in the trilogy ends on Christmas Day (or Yule if you're a witch). So this is the perfect trilogy for November and December. You can read my review and enter to win the trilogy PLUS lots of fun extras. You have until Black Friday to enter HERE. Tell all your paranormal, witch, fantasy, holiday, mystery, or romance loving friends.

Review of You Never Know
Welcome to Nonfiction November at Words by Webb. I wrote more about this eye-opening month on WOW-Women on Writing. Check it out HERE . Although I'll be featuring some fiction, most of this month I'll be sticking to nonfiction. You can read whatever you like but if you need inspiration, this year's theme is Past Puzzles and Timeless Treasures.

Great Halloween Reads
I've always loved Halloween and dressing up. I've been a pirate (my dad even made me a cutlass out of wood), Sherlock Holmes, Medusa. I also spent my teen years watching every scary movie with a group of my friends. But, I don't remember reading many books with a scary, creepy or eerie vibe except for Stephen King (thanks to my college roommate, Michelle!). But that might be changing with the help of author Amy Sampson-Cutler who is stopping by today with a list of some great
