I’m going to have a buy one get one free deal going on with my novels - I have no idea how its going to work/how I can give them away for free but the big book of publishing suggests that you should have some offers going or..something.

I really like your blog! :) So tht is what your imagination looks like eh?
Thanks :) It is indeed - or at least what my imagination would look like if represented through images appearing on my dashboard!

In my mind
I thrash against the rocks
Of myself and swirl and
Dash and crash into a
