Butterfly from a Hike

Newest News:

So far this month May’s weather has been just as changeable as April’s was. We’ve had rain! I know, that doesn’t sound like any big news but for this area, rain doesn’t happen from March to July’s monsoon season. Instead, we’ve had several days in April and so far in May, with actual falling out of the sky water. I’m sure the native plants and trees and animals are enjoying it. My garden does, too.

Giveaways:

The Spring Into Reading giveaway is at the halfway point. I have links to it on my facebook, twitter, and website pages. This giveaway I offer a free ebook or for second prize, a $5 Amazon card. There are other prizes as well. Over a hundred prizes plus a grand prize. It’s not hard to enter and there are multiple ways to enter. You could easily win a prize. Enter today and every day.

I’m giving a shout out to my friend S. L. Lewis. A new author, I’m interviewing her right on this blog on Wednesday. Follow my blog so you don’t miss out on this and other special features. She can be found at http://apeekintoacreativemine.blogspot.com/ where she updates every Monday.

Garden News:

Last week I talked about drying oregano so this week I took a picture of my oregano on my drying rack.

It’s really easy. Share your photo of your drying rack.

Where Will I Be?:

June 3rd and 4th I’m at the Scottsdale MysteryCon, Death and Deception in the Desert. I’m giving a presentation there as well on writing a mystery. Tickets for both days are only $39. I do hope you can make it to that one. Here’s a flyer telling all about it. Register in advance on the site so we know how many are coming to lunch, then email me or comment here that you registered. I’ll put your name in for a drawing of a special prize on Friday night and/or Saturday. The prize? A bracelet, hand made by me, with Kindred Spirits as the theme. I might even make two and have a giveaway both Friday and Saturday. What do you think?

July 23rd is the Payson Book Festival. I’ll be at my table all day, ready to talk to YOU! I hope you can make it as we will have over 70 authors attending as well as music, food, author presentations and workshops. It will be stupendous! www.paysonbookfestival.org and click on the Meet the Authors tab.
