Well, as long as you stay a part of the team. :) You are the extra step in my promotional department.

I write all sorts of genres, so I will try and send out emails before I release the book (email it out to you), to let you know of which one I'm doing that time.

Weekend Writing Sat - Sun (February 16-17th) Tag #wwab to join in!

All right. Getting going fairly early. Let's see if I can get myself some nice quiet writing time. Everyone has been taken care of and people are still asleep. This weekend, the two that are lowest in word count will be, as usual, the ones I work on. So that means. Saturday will be:  DARK ILLUSIONS: THE FINAL CHAPTER  and then tomorrow, Sunday, will be  HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.  Saturday Updates Starting the book at  22,190 words  total First break. Lunch!

I always have you in mind when I do things and can't stand by when people have no moral conduct with which they live by. (Before I mention, I will be straight up and say that yes, I generally use this method myself because any extra pennies in the feed the animals, or replace the falling down roof fund, helps tremendously. So nobody needs to point out that I do it. I do. You can see it for yourself.) If someone pitches you a book to check out. And you actually DO w
