    And yet more chances to win: Raven Scavenger Hunt and a little catching up

    I know, I know, it's all about the promo with me.

    I am doing other things, honest. But as one of the other things is trying to manage out the symptoms of the beginning of RSI, anything involving typing (unless, you know, I get paid for it) is falling by the wayside.

    Fun stuff includes getting travel money for my trip to the States in (eek!) just over a week, making ratatouille for the first time according to my own variation, and enjoying eating it, also for the first time, and plotting out Telepathic Twins using the Snowflake Method. It's going really really well, although of course I won't know if it's worked until I actually start writing the book. I also experienced the mind-scrambling terror that comes from having the Smart Bitches review your book. They gave Heart of the Volcano a C+ (which puts me in some good company), and a review I'm really happy with. And Smart Bitch Sarah mentioned she'd like to see a sequel, which, as that's what current WIP Blood of the Volcano is, is lucky for me.

    Okay, burning feeling in hands signals the end of this post, so I'd better get to the promo part. I'm participating in the Raven Scavenger Hunt, running all of October, with chances to win books, including a copy of the book about which Smart Bitch Sarah said:

    "... “Oh, now that’s different.”

    “Ok, cool.”

    “Huh. That’s some smart use of rock and fire imagery.”

    “Ok, now that’s COOL.”

    “This is really, really different.”

    I love cool and different..."






















    Go and enter. And think good thoughts for my hands.

    OMG! Smart Bitches reviewed your book! I've NEVER been reviewed by them (despite them asking for a book three years ago).

    And it's a good review too. Lucky you!

    Hey, Kate. I know! I'm really pleased with it, despite the negative points they mention. And wow, being on SBTB! :-D
