Weekly Roundup

I don't know about you guys, but this was the longest short week EVER. It probably had something to do with the fact that after surviving Hurricane Irene, we were hit with torrential flooding from Tropical Storm Lee. Our house has definitely been battered. In a matter of two hours, our basement flooded and our roof sprung leaks that hadn't been there the day before. Plus, my garden (already an exercise in faith) is in sad shape indeed.

I'm not gonna lie; it sucks. But I'm grateful that my family is safe, my house is still standing, and we didn't lose as much as some of those in surrounding towns. Sending them wishes for a quick recovery and speedy relief from insurance companies and FEMA.

A quick roundup for this past week;

On Monday, I gave you an incredible glimpse into one of the real-life sacred sites featured in Circle of Fire.

The Song of the Week was You've Got the Love by Florence and the Machine.

Wednesday we wrapped up the Surprise Twitter Contest and tallied the entries. Don't be sad if you didn't win! Next week I'll kick off another contest aimed at giving sets of the Prophecy of the Sisters Trilogy to libraries across the US and Canada.

This week's Thursday Night Write featured a beautiful prompt to get your creative juices flowing.

Yesterday via the Friday Poll I asked you to share your favorite things about the Back to School season. And yes! This is for adults, too. Head on over! It's not to late to weigh in!

Next week, we'll have all our regular features plus a book giveaway aimed at supplying your favorite library with signed copies of all three Prophecy of the Sisters books – and a set for you, too.

Stay tuned!
