On author etiquette
I'm on vacation…so while you're reading this, maybe I'm relaxing. Will read comments when I get back.

So I saw a tweet to this blog post:
Author Etiquette: Should They Respond to All Reviews?
I started to respond there, but figured hey… I always need blog fodder. So I'll do it here.
The post stemmed from Malle Vallik's post @ RTB.
Malle's tips were: (as copied from Sarah's blog)

Hi.
I'm like 9k away from finishing Hunter's Fall. Until I finish it? My brain is mush. Posting may be scarce. Or weird. Or erratic. Or sparsely, erratically weird.

Wanted to share
For a while, I've been sending books overseas to the soldiers. A lady I know collects the books and send them overseas. She also shares the names of some soldiers who aren't getting much in the way of cards and stuff.

Busy, busy…instead of blogging, I'm posting an excerpt
Got a book that wants to be done. Taking the easy way out today.
here's an excerpt from Candy Houses:
_____________________________
_____________________________
Rip drifted awake slowly. He could sense Greta was near. Feel her hand on his brow. The soft, gentle touch of her fingers stroking his hair. She wasn't scared or worried, so that must mean they were safe—which meant he could enjoy waking up next to her.
They were talking.
Caught in the twilight between sleep and waking, he could hear...
