Coupon Giveaway

Sorry for the weeklong silence but I've incredibly busy with roofing and writing. Roof advice for those looking to buy one of those old Spanish "castle" roof-lines in FL. Beautiful and romantic to look at, for sure, but hold on to your money! The flat roofs are going to be a money pit, especially if the turret (parapet) walls that you fell in love with had been done wrong and everything underneath your beautiful stucco on top of the roof, where you can't see, is rotten.

As for writing, I've been immersed in:
1) trying to plot out a short, short, short story for the Seal of my Dreams anthology (www.sealofmydreams.com) which has been a challenging process, to say the least, because it's going to be a tight story of thirty or under pages. Not many words to work out a believable romance! There are a bunch of excellent authors in this anthology (over 12!) so I need to get my creative mojo to find something unique. With so many contributors and one theme and length, I'm sure the universal consciousness is going to spit out several "same scenario, different twist" stories, and I'm trying not to do that. So...I put the thinking cap on Muse and she...well, gah, she just thinks calories are needed, if you know what I mean.

2) I've been busy formatting The Protector, The Hunter, and The Sleeper my three SEAL books from the Crossfire trilogy to which the rights have been reverted back to me.  It's taking longer than I thought because it's all a learning process for me as well as an expensive one. More on this in another post this week.

3) MikiSquirrel's book! It's ready but I need to figure things out for Amazon's do-it-yourself arm, Createspace, like how to get illustrations to come out right and fix dpis on photos. It's quite a little project for such a small book (30 pages)! It's very different from formatting a regular manuscript with type words and yes, frustrating too, if you're not a techy person. I'm not a techy person, so I'm going to need help on this first try with children's books.

And now, for having patiently read through the whole post ;-), I'm announcing a coupon giveaway. I have a eHarlequin coupon for 30% off any books on their site. One commenter will get the code.

Please comment whether you'd be interested in a children's book about a squirrel when it comes out in a few weeks :-) and what price range would a 30 page 7X9 book should, in your opinion, cost. See, such an easy contest!
