MSTSave trailer!
I'm still on vacation. Mostly. ;-)
But I have a release in a couple of days and two short stories due soon, so I'm kind of working in the background, as I munch holiday goodies and read. So today I have a goody for those of you who don't get my newsletter and haven't already seen it.
The My Soul to Save trailer!
You can watch it in HD, but if you do, I'd suggest pausing the video until it loads completely. And, of course, feel free to share. ;-)

Gingerbread 2009!
Okay, after three days of baking, assembling, and decorating, Gingerbread House 2009 is finally done!
Here is the dough, rolled out and ready to be cut. It's homemade, of course. Which reminds me--next year I need a bigger mixer. I don't think my current one can take another year of hardy gingerbread dough. ;-)
Here are some of the pieces in the oven. The window cutouts are filled with crushed cherry Lifesavers. I usually use Jolly Ranchers, and I'll be going back to those next year, because ...

Holiday baking...
[The Soul Screamers giveaway is still going on here!]
My holiday baking has begun! I went shopping and had lunch with a friend yesterday, and came home armed with colored sugar, sprinkles, and edible pearls, as well as bunches of candy for... Christmas Gingerbread House 2009!
Today I'll make the dough and #1 will cut it out, then we'll bake it. Tomorrow, I'll make frosting/glue and we'll assemble. Number one is designing the blueprints (yes, blueprints) during his spare time today! Here are a...

Soul Screamers giveaway!
[This contest is now closed. Check back soon for the next one!:]
I am thrilled to report that I turned in the revisions for MY SOUL TO KEEP on Friday morning, and I am now on vacation for two weeks. Sort of. Mostly.
I won't be writing any fiction until after the new year (I have two short stories due in short order), but I will be doing guest blogs and interviews in preparation for the release of My Soul to Save on Dec. 29. And giving away a bunch of stuff.
Starting now.
But first, late next week ...

Where I'll be today...
[Note: Today's the last day to enter the YA only contest, if you're between the ages of 13 and 20. Click here for details.]
Okay, I'm officially behind on everything. No really. Everything. I owe my revisions to my editor, I owe books to winners and reviewers, I owe interview answers to interviewers, I owe Christmas cards to friends, I owe my mother a phone call...
It just never ends. And I've evidently dropped off the face of the Internet in the last week, unless you're on Twitter. And there c...
