Just After Midnight Giveaway!
So this is the time I have fun with my blog, and hopefully the moment you're glad you subscribe.
I received a lovely carton of ARCs (Advance Readers' Copies) of my December release, JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. And I'm going to give three away.
I always beg people to read the paragraphs below. A percentage of you don't. Then I can't enter you because I can't contact you if you win. So, please, for your own sake... this takes less than a minute:
***PLEASE READ BELOW!***
Leave a comment below to be entered. Please DO leave your email address in the comment form (even though it will say it's optional). I promise I won't use it for any other purpose but to notify you if you win. Please DON'T leave your email address in the body of your comment unless you want everybody to see it. (It will seem there is no place for your name and email. But when you hit "Post Comment," you'll see those fields come up.)
And if you're reading this on Goodreads, please click through and leave your comment on my original blog. Otherwise I worry I'll forget you when the time comes to draw names.
I'll leave this open for nine or ten days and then draw three winners at random. Good luck!

The Only Audiobook Ever Narrated by Me
Recently I set out on what I thought might be an interesting project.
The only books of mine that are not available on audio (other than the YA books I published with Knopf) are the two story collections and my essay collection, THE LONG, STEEP PATH.
I thought the latter might be a great one to narrate myself, since it's nonfiction and about my life. In other words, I'm narrating my own experience in my own voice. So I gave that a go.
I do want to offer one disclaimer: It's a new announcement, but it's not a new book. It was published in 2013 and some of the essays are a little older than that. I write a lot about hiking, but only in the interest of sorting out life challenges. If it was a new book I'd be writing a lot about riding dressage in the interest of sorting out life challenges.
In any case, for those who are interested in hearing me narrate some true stories from my own life, the audiobook is available HERE.
Happy... um... listening!
