Though I can show you what my inspiration was last week, I can’t tell you why yet, it’s a secret. But an exciting one worth waiting for! But there is some good news I can tell you. Compass Press has dropped the price of paperback and eBook of The Secret Of Spruce Knoll. On Both B&N and Amazon, the paperback is now $12.99 and the eBook is $2.99.

To celebrate, I’m doing a giveaway of the paperback of the combination of my novella, Born Of Fire, and Christine Fonseca’s, Dies Irae. Two copies actually. To enter click below:

    Your giveaway is currently hidden. Puppy, my visiting Hellhound, just chuffed in amusement at me seeking and not finding! LOL. I love snowy landscapes ... like my oldest hero, Hibbs, the bear with two shadows! Have a great week. Your hardcover of THE SECRET OF SPRUCE KNOLL has a place of honor in my new bookshelf! Roland

      Looks like they finally approved it. You should be able to access it now. Ah, I'm so flattered that my debut hardback has a place of honor on your bookshelf! *blushes*

    I'm not actually a snow lover, but that is beautiful. Love Aspens, and they are gorgeous in the snow. Nice prices on Spruce Knoll!

Today I'm post-poning the creature feature to take part in a very important blogfest honoring banned books. It was brought to my attention by the fantastic I Am A Reader Not A Writer blog . Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K.
