Giving a shout out to a very dear friend of mine whose book The Silver Casket has just been released with Freya’s Bower. You know you want it. Here’s how to get it:

Here’s what’s currently decorating my desktop:

NONFICTION:

I was surprised to find that one of my community libraries had this book. Most times I come up empty-handed with craft of writing books. So, I did an inter-library-loan, and picked it up this morning. I’ve only glanced through it so far, but it looks interesting, and I’m looking forward to applying some of these techniques to my revisions.

FICTION:

I’m picking my way through this book, not because I don’t like it, but because I’m trying to focus the majority of my time and energy on my revisions. I’m still waiting for my copy of Farrah’s book, DELIVER ME, to arrive, and have made a deal with myself that the book is a reward for when I reach the halfway point on my revisions. I’d better get back to work! ;)

CHILDREN’S:

A school friend of Scienceboy’s brought this book to school for show and tell, and my son had to immediately go to the library and see if they had it. The Spiderwick Chronicles is a 5 book series about a three children who live in a creepy house inhabited by trolls, goblins, faeries, and such. We’ve been reading them at night and we’re almost done with the first book. I’d definitely recommend them. You can visit the Spiderwick website, to learn more about them.

Okay…I told, so now it’s your turn. What are you reading?

Today, I’m doing a special promo for a very dear friend of mine whose fabulous book just hit the shelves of bookstores everywhere!

Farrah, over the years I’ve watched you pursue your dream with steadfast determination, never wavering, and always holding to the conviction that you’d sell when it was “your time”. Your attitude has been a huge source of encouragement for me, allowing me to approach my own dream with the same deep-in-my-heart conviction that my time will come…with persistence and patience.

I am so thrilled–so incredibly proud–that I can say “your time” is here.

So, without further ado–and for those of you who aren’t Farrah :D–I give you DELIVER ME:

After being dumped by her boyfriend and passed over for yet another promotion, Monica Gardner moves to New Orleans, determined to make a name for herself as the new attending ER physician at Methodist Memorial Hospital. As for men–she’s through with them. But when given the chance to chair the hospital’s annual charity banquet, Monica must elicit the help of gorgeous Ob-gyn Elijah Holmes.

Eli will do anything to thwart his matchmaking Mama’s plan to reunite him with his high school girlfriend. So, when the sexy new ER doc asks for his help in planning this year’s charity banquet, Eli devises the perfect scheme: He’ll help put on the best banquet the hospital has ever seen, if Monica poses as his new girlfriend. But when Eli finds himself falling in love, he realizes convincing Monica of his true feelings may be his greatest delivery yet.

Available from Dorchester. Run to get this book. I promise you, it’s fabulous! (Are you going yet? What are you waiting for?)

Oh, and don’t forget to drop by Farrah’s website to take a peek at her books, or visit her blog to congratulate her on her debut!
