A Dangerous Bet

I've just made a bet with myself that I'll have the first draft of my third novel written by April 25, 2012. If I lose the bet, I'll be donating money to an organization committed to stopping same-sex marriage. I'm determined to win this bet. Will you support me? The details are on my blog:

Thank You, Clive Matson

Hey all,

Today I'm writing about my friend and neighbor, the poet Clive Matson, who so generously opens up his home once a month to let budding writers practice reading their work aloud.

Spam Spam Spam

Today I'm featuring a different kind of recipe -- how to make spam. I recommend not serving it to guests.

Best Sweet Potato Recipe Ever

For my latest post I'm writing about one of my other passions -- food. I once pulled a sweet potato recipe out of the newspaper and thanks to a couple of unuusal ingredients, I get raves every time I make it. Want the recipe? The link is here:

Where To Begin?

Hi all,

I've written my first real blog post ever on my website:

http://www.chrisdelyani.com/?p=198&am...

In it, you can read about my discount ($4.99 from $6.99) of the Kindle version of my novel. Of course, by saying so I've given away the surprise.

Right now I've got food, literature, gay marriage, and my third, not-yet-conceived third novel on my mind, so blog posts this year will likely focus on those topics. (Oh, and I've got a new book coming out this year, so I guess I'll be writing about that, too.) If there's something in particular you want me to write about, drop me a line.

I'm sure there's a way I can link the blog on my website to the blog here on Goodreads, but I sure as hell don't know how to do it. I'm a bit slow on the uptake on these things.

Thanks for your support!
