Music Monday - and Book Giveaway Drawing!

In celebration of the return of *Glee* tomorrow, here is their flagship song (minus video. Which really does make it better. Can't find that version on youtube however):

And while you are listening to that, let us proceed to the drawing!

Music Monday - and Book Giveaway!!

This past week, I've been listening to the amazing, London-based boys' choir, Libera (formerly called Angel Voices) and my favorite, well, one of my increasing list of favorite pieces of theirs: Voca Me. I don't know. Salva Me might be my favorite tonight.



In other news, I have just received copies of books 7 and 8 in the Wind Dancer series, and want to pass on my bounty to you, gentle reader....

If you would like to be in the running for this book giveaway, leave a comment on this blog post before midnight, Sunday 11th (pacific time) and I will post the results of the drawing-of-your-names next Monday. I will ship to anywhere in the world, so feel free to participate.

Happy first full week of April!

Blog Book Give-Away...

Books number 5 and 6 in the Wind Dancer series are due to be released on September 1st. My covers of which you see above, and the interiors I co-illustrated with my good friend Jo Gershman.

I received a hefty box of them today. And from my abundance, I wish to share with you, gentle reader, a signed copy of each for the lucky commenter whose name I shall draw on the eve of Sunday, August 30th. Just in time to mail off to you by their official release day.

Wishing winged horses your way.....
