E-reader Test Drive

Friday Fast Five: A Gazillion Giveaways, New Orleans or Ireland?, Slumdog Zumba,Did You Know it’s e-reader week, and OMG Greek Yogurt

March 11, 2011 by Contributor Leave a Comment

1. It’s Friday! So that means Giveaways Ahoy! Here are my favorites this week: – Kim of TomKat Studios is celebrating reaching 20,000 FaceBook fans with an incredible Giveaway: a personalized customized party package! I asked Miss A what theme she’d like if she could hire someone to create it for her – she said … [Read more…]

The Backstory on How I Came To “Meet” March’s Monday Muse (and how cool random networking can be)

March 6, 2011 by Contributor Leave a Comment

My “meeting” of tomorrow’s Monday Muse – the first and I certainly hope not last – of 2011, occurred on FaceBook. It all came about in a rather crazy way, and it just goes to show you how things can kind of just happen. Flipping through my local newspaper one day last spring, I caught … [Read more…]

Friday Fast Five

November 5, 2010 by Contributor 2 Comments

I started building this week’s Friday Fast Five on Sunday, adding to it here and there throughout the week, so the post itself won’t seem quite so “fast,” but the act of me putting it up today is very fast indeed, I assure you 🙂 1. Having been a Smart Bitch test driver for a … [Read more…]

Monday Muse is back and sippin’ some MandaJuice!

May 3, 2010 by Contributor 6 Comments

Well, if I’m going to keep my promise to blog everyday in May, there’s no better excuse than to bring Monday Muse back! I can’t recall how I stumbled across blogger Amanda Del Buono’s website: MandaJuice – Blogging With the Safety Off, but I’m glad I did. Her writing style is open and honest and … [Read more…]

The Art of Writing

November 7, 2009 by Contributor 2 Comments

No, this is not another post about NaNoWriMo…though I’m finding it an incredible way to practice my craft. As I mentioned over at fellow Test Driver Tami’s blog when she asked what people expected to get out of it: I am a fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer – and this … [Read more…]

I met Diana Gabaldon and I did not squee…

October 1, 2009 by Contributor 2 Comments

… or clutch her hand and ask her to come home with me, or faint, or completely embarrass myself in a myriad  of other ways… Currently Diana is on a book tour promoting the recent release of the 7th (of at least 8, I think) novel in her Outlander series, Echo in The Bone. 4 … [Read more…]

In Search of the Sony Reader: AKA “It’s Like a Kindle, but not.”

September 25, 2009 by Contributor Leave a Comment

My time as a test driver of a Sony e-reader for the SmartBitches is nearly at an end. As an added bonus for having pimped out their bling to all our friends and family for the summer, Sony has offered to let us test drivers keep our Readers for a significantly reduced price…or if we … [Read more…]

Double Yay for More Free Books!

September 12, 2009 by Contributor Leave a Comment

Thanks to a tip over at the SB’s, I learned of the offer from Mills&Boon (the equivalent to HQ across the pond).  You can download a selected book from several of their series; a total 10 free books! I like using the e-pub file for downloads, load it up to Adobe Digital Reader, then copy … [Read more…]

It’s the Little Things in Life that Thrill Me

August 8, 2009 by Contributor Leave a Comment

Like getting to post a review on the Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books website. I can’t imagine how tickled I’ll be if a novel (I eventually manage to finish and submit to a pub) gets published. My skirt will flip so high you’ll see London, France, and a remote town somewhere in Alaska. So, … [Read more…]

Miss Scarlett is an Enabler

August 3, 2009 by Contributor 2 Comments

So I’m sending my boy toy packing and stickin’ with my 2nd Sony e-reader of the summer: Miss Scarlett. Aside from that gawdawful cover of hers, she’s a sexy little tart, and we’ve already had quite some fun. The problem is, Miss Scarlett is like that gossipy girlfriend: y’know the type:  the one you spend … [Read more…]
