If You Missed This Before...

A new giveaway starts TOMORROW, November 18th for six signed first edition copies of Miss Peculiar's Haunting Tales, Volume I. If you entered but didn't win a copy the last time then here's your next shot at a copy.

I just did an author event and book signing featuring this book on the 8th. I did readings from four of the six stories in the collection. I wish I could have read the entire book aloud but there were serious time constraints in place- I was allotted an hour and a half, and I cannot read that fast! But it was fun...especially my trying to imitate how I hear Mr. Needy's voice in my head. He has a peculiar accent blending Cockney, Scottish and a wee bit o' the Irish in the way he speaks- it's his own language, very difficult for me to mimic, but I gave it my best shot and did okay.

I always find it fascinating to hear an author read their own work aloud. You learn a lot by listening to them because how you read a paragraph or chapter and hear the character's voices in your mind can be vastly different from how the person who actually wrote the paragraph or chapter hears it in their own mind, so when they read it aloud using that voice in their head it can be pretty wild

The giveaway ends October 25th. I'll try to get the books in the mail October 26th.!
