There are so many fascinating blogs out there–makes me kindasorta glad I don’t have high-speed internet service; if I did, I don’t know how I’d force myself to stop surfing. As it is, the freaking, everloving BOREDOM and IRRITATION of waiting fifteen minutes for a page to load sends me shrieking off to pound some bread dough or pull a weed or something.
One blog I enjoy, I’m lucky enough to be part of: The Write Type – Multi-Author Musings, run by Canadian author Cheryl Kaye Tardif. Her post yesterday was about a novelette she has on Smashwords and Amazon. I left a comment so I would be entered in a drawing for an e-copy of her critically acclaimed novel, WHALE SONG–AND I WON! I love it when I win. 🙂
I bought a copy of the novelette, REMOTE CONTROL, and I’ll download it and my prize the next time I’m in town with a high-speed connection.
Visit Cheryl’s website to see how awesome she is and for links to her books!

Ahaha! If my internet connect/ computer was slower, I would spend WAY LESS time on the computer. 😦

I just love it when people are talking about me behind my back…hehe. Thank you for the awesome promo, Marian. By the way, you’re always a winnah in my books–pun intended.
I have super high speed internet. I think my laptop needs to be surgically removed from my lap. I call it my “metal puppy”. My other puppy, Chai, is jealous of it. LOL
All the best!
