Friday’s Fun Find: Signage for a Book-Signing!

by

I promise this will be the last post–okay, second to the last post–about the book-signing.

I have my candy (taste-tested by yours truly, and I can say with certainty that it is, in fact, delicious candy) and my postcard bookmarks (you can check them out here) and my books (Sadly, my latest release, Not Your Mother’s Book on Home Improvement has not arrived yet. Happily, I have quite a collection of Chicken Soup for the Soul books!).

And I just finished making this big ‘ol sign:

Cathy-on-a-Stick and the Beneficent Mr. Hall will be joining me tomorrow at St. John Neumann Catholic Church. If you’re in my neck of the woods, come see us at the Fall Festival! (And a BIG thanks for all your tips and support!)

Who Won Chicken Soup For the Soul’s Married Life?

by

Yep, it was time to spin the old Randomizer to find the lucky winner of Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Married Life!

And the name at the top of the list is…Sioux!

I’m very happy to see Sioux’s name there because she left such an intriguing comment:

“Seriously, I’d love to win a copy, and perhaps someone will use one of your stories as a springboard for one of the 20th anniversary stories. You never know…”

She also left another comment:

“Okay, if we try to jack up the number of comments by each individual leaving multiple comments, would that be okay?

Just askin’.”

Just so you know the fix was not in, super Sioux’s name was entered only once. But I give her kudos for trying–and for buttering me up. I mean, she really wanted that Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Married Life.

Hold on a minute. Did I say winner? I meant to say winners. ‘Cause I’m giving away a second copy to lovely Lynn! Lynn is in a critique group with several writers who’ve been published in a Chicken Soup book, and I just know that her turn is coming up next. She’s been published in several wonderful markets…And hold on a sec. Aren’t Lynn and Sioux in the same critique group???

Those Wild Women With Pens have some serious winning and writing mojo going on. Maybe y’all need another member?

In the words of Sioux: Just askin’.
