Wednesday's writing related ramblings - February 11th 2015

I've not had much writing time in this past week, between packing, trying to keep up with e-mails and such, and working my way through a stack of books I was given in exchange for reviews. If you'd like to see some of those reviews, head over to my Goodreads page and click on my "read" shelf (no, you don't need to be on Goodreads to take a look; only to comment and such).

I did another author interview in this past week though. If you missed it, I posted about my author interview with Leyla Atke yesterday.

Speaking of interviews... Did you see my post about Yua's character interview on Sunday?

If you already read both interviews, I hope you enjoyed them. If you didn't, I hope you will take a few moments to give them a read, and that you then enjoy them.

Either way, don't forget - as it says at the bottom of Yua's character interview - you can still get “Yua And The Great Wizard Hunt” for 80% off at Smashwords until February 17th 2015 by entering coupon code ZG28A at checkout.

The book's Smashwords link is http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/492449
