Mother’s Day Mail Call

Happy Mother’s day to my fellow moms out there. Yes, even if you’re only the mom of a cat, dog, or bunny. (I was going to say pet, but that’s too vague, isn’t it?)

I’ve been doing my mail call posts over at Rocks and Reads of late, the better to showcase my fiction over here (a lot of you were dropping me e-mails, complaining you were missing the fiction). But with nothing really on the horizon right now, I figured this was a good time to remind you to add Rocks and Reads to your feed reader and follow the book talk over there.

So. Last week, my trusty PO Box had an insecurity attack. No books!

This past week was better. I got two.

The first is Rebecca Kohn’s Seven Days to the Sea. My book club read Ms. Kohn’s The Gilded Chamber, and it’s a book I consider one of the best Biblical Historicals I’ve read. So I’m more eager than a beaver to read this. Once again, my book club will read it together. (If you’d like to read along with us, watch the book club page for dates and all that.)

The second book that arrived this week was another one of those bonus prizes I sometimes get for putting so much time into Win a Book. My good friend Christie Craig was kind enough to send me a copy of a book she co-wrote with Faye Hughes. I think she’s telling me something (and I might even listen) because the book is The Everything Guide to Writing a Romance Novel. Like all good non-fiction books, it’s got a super long subtitle, which is something I like to make fun of over at Win a Book. (see what you’re missing? And you thought all I did was tell contest groupies where to go to find stuff they can resell on eBay!)

Thanks to The Story Siren and The Printed Page for hosting Mailbox events on Sundays/Mondays. I’m meeting a lot of new bloggers and, of course, am watching my wish list grow. As well as the TBR mountains.

As always, if you use the buy links, they’ll take you to Powells.com, where I am an affiliate. I’m saving up the money you may earn me to … buy books to give away to you. No profit to me; it’s all about YOU guys.
