Learn Your Craft Giveaway

200 followers!
Woo-hoo!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm excited to celebrate with my new and old followers alike. You're the ones that make blogging worthwhile. This past year has been a good one for me in terms of writing. I didn't write as much as I would've liked, but I've learned a lot about the craft of writing. As my thanks to you, I'm going to give away three books about the craft.

On Writing by Stephen King. (hardcover) The best book on the craft of writing. No need to say any more.
The Art of the Book Proposal by Eric Maisel, Ph.D. (paperback) One of the hardest parts for me is creating a proposal. This book helps break it all down.

But wait! Reading books about the craft will help you, but you have to read fiction too.

My Zombie Valentine by Katie MacAlister, Angie Fox, Marianne Mancusi, and Lisa Cach. (paperback) A great collection of paranormal romance stories. Picked just because love is in the air this month!
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. (paperback) For those of you who love the classics with a twist.
Tuf Voyaging by George R.R. Martin. (paperback) A great sci-fi adventure. Martin is brilliant. He's one of my idols.

There will be three winners chosen by Random.org. Each winner will get a book on the craft and a fiction book. Winner number one will get first choice.

All you need to do to enter is leave a comment with your email address and your two preferences.

The winners will be picked in one week. Thank you all so much!

Saturday Snapshot for February 11th

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books

My little dragon.
There's a great place in town where parents can take their kids to play and it's free.
It's a giant room filled with toys. There's also a box full of dress-up clothes.
Yesterday was the first day my son wanted to dress up as something.
There was another cute little boy dressed as a princess,
but I didn't think his mother would appreciate a stranger taking his photo!

200 followers!
Yay! Thank you all for your encouragement and support.
I'll be having a giveaway some time within the next week.
Stay tuned!
