Coming Soon...Book 1

"From the outside, 13 year old Tony looks like he has quite the life:  

A whole estate to himself. 

A fangirl he flirts with online. 

A pet monkey. (His third!) 

Until you notice the wheelchair. Or that he only speaks with his mother by intercom. Or that he doesn't seem to know who his real father is. 

And now, to save his home from a mysterious trust, Tony will have to ride in a broken-down motorcycle with someone who may not be who he seems, and solve the biggest mystery of all—Who he really is."

What do you think?

I haven't been blogging, and it's been five years since my last book. Good to know I haven't been just wasting my time mowing, right?

I'm calling this series, The Tony Pandy Mysteries. After the main character. 

Book 1 comes out October 6th, and I'm currently running a giveaway on Goodreads. This is for two signed copies, and I would be thrilled if a reader of this blog was a winner.

The print edition is available for pre-order on Amazon right now. Ebook will be available in September.

Now, back to writing book 2. I'm not going to let another five years go by.

Free Today on Kindle & Print Giveaway

Today Not Just For Breakfast Anymore is free on kindle. As a bonus, if you like the book and add a review on Amazon, I will send you a signed print copy (drop me an email or comment).

I'm calling this my 'getting to ten reviews' on Amazon promotion. I have six already, and many major review sites won't consider you until you reach double digits.

That's it! Okay, maybe not. Here comes the little lawyer.

Ah hem. While supplies last, not responsible for promoting Amazon world domination, will not refund your free purchase price more than six times, pig not included.

Of Giveaways and Tradeaways

For those who didn't win my last giveaway (that would be 99% of you), Karen Mcquestion is kindly hosting one for me right now. I'll put it to you this way: your chances are pretty good if you enter—just leave a comment over at her blog. Organic Enchilada, I'm looking your way.

Check out Karen's books while you're there.

As for me, Christmas took a sad turn. The poor Gummybear has been coughing and rashing for weeks now. The doc said it was probably caused by something recently introduced into the environment. Oh, I don't know, like a spruce Christmas tree? Yeah, getting rid of the evergreen just before Christmas was killer. Luckily, we knew someone who was jonesing for a real tree and traded us for an artificial one.

I miss the smell of real pine in the house at Christmas time, but I much prefer having a happy toddler. That's a trade I'd make, any day.
