I've sent off the last of the requested signed bookmarks, so those are on their way to you, if you were on that list.
And tomorrow, Tuesday the 19th, http://www.bakkaphoenixbooks.com will host yet another advanced reading copy giveaway for A Turn of Light

Good luck!

Treat Tuesday again!

Will the happy ever end? I certainly hope not!

Visit http://www.bakkaphoenixbooks.com at 2 pm Toronto time for your next change to win an advanced reading copy of A TURN OF LIGHT.
A Turn of Light
It's a romantic story. There's pie. A lost love and secret trysts. Holding hands and that first dance. (Which doesn't go as planned, but ends well.)
I wish you luck on the contest. I thank Bakka Phoenix for their amazing support. And ...
it's three weeks today until the book itself hits stores.
Yup. That's my heart thumping wildly you can hear.

Solving a riddle ...

This week's giveaway at http://bakkaphoenixbooks.com means answering a riddle about three of my characters. Who ever could have made that up?
::innocent look::
The intention was to make the contest a little more challenging -- and to give more of you a chance to WIN!
But not to be so difficult no one does -- so keep an eye on Bakka Phoenix's website for three clues. My guess is the first of them will be enough to help someone win.
It could well be you! Good luck!

Who will win today?

Keep checking http://www.bakkaphoenixbooks.com for today's trivia question about my work. If you're the first to email them the correct answer (and live in North America, because they'll cover that shipping and it's a Very Heavy Book to ship), you can be reading A TURN OF LIGHT a month before almost everyone else!!!

Treats. A great bookstore. WINNING STUFF!

Tuesday's are great days.

One of the best parts of the job

Interacting with readers. Yup! And it wasn't something remotely on my radar before my first novel,THOUSAND A Thousand Words for Stranger (Trade Pact Universe, #1) by Julie E. Czerneda , hit store shelves.
I still have my very first fan letter. (Confession time, yes, I've kept all of them. Every email from a reader, every card, note, and remembrance.) That first, though, was a revelation. Not only were people reading my stuff -- they wanted to talk to me about it! Whoa. Who saw that coming? Not I. (And yes, this was back when social media meant hanging out together at a convention.)
My latest reader-letter came from Russia, where a delightful lady has been learning English in order to reread her favourite book, THOUSAND!, in the original wording. How marvellous is that?!
My favourite thing, as you might guess, is writing back. With treats. It's been a while since I've had anything to send, but now that the first set of gorgeous bookmarks are ready for A TURN OF LIGHT A Turn of Light by Julie E. Czerneda , I'm all over it. I'll be signing and stuffing envelopes for the next week. And it's not too late if you'd like to be included. Just go to http://www.czerneda.com/contact/conta... and send me the name you'd like on your bookmark and where to send it.
One of the very very best parts of the job. Thanking you.
