This week I'm celebrating:
1) A return to health! Though I'm not quite ready for dancing with the happy penguin above, I'm feeling a lot better. My thanks to all those who left comments, sent emails, and tweeted me with well wishes. You guys rock!
2) Before I got sick, I finished the last 6 chapters of my novel and this week I revised 3 of them. Only 3 more to go! (And then several full revisions...)
3) October Frights Blog Hop. For this hop, I'll be posting on Oct 1st and I'll be giving away A SET OF ALL MY BOOKS to 10 LUCKY WINNERS! Stop by between Oct 1 -10 and enter via rafflecopter.
4) To make up for not posting a giveaway list last week, I've posted a bunch of giveaways this week! :)
