First, I want to thank everyone who entered to win Jennifer R. Hubbard’s THE SECRET YEAR. You all begged so prettily, but in the end, only one name could be drawn out of the Cubs hat (if you didn’t win, I’ll give you my husband’s email and you can take it up with him as he’s the one who drew). The winner is Catherine! Congratulations, and it’s already on its way to you.

I am over at The Debutante Ball today, explaining Writer Research Terms for y’all. Don’t miss it!

In other news, did I mention my agent sold my second book? Oh, I did? Oh, well. It’s my blog and I’ll celebrate if I want to!

And some of them are very cool prizes…ever wanted your own Restoring Harmony Tote Bag? Well, it probably never crossed your mind, but you could win one over there! She’s got a new fresh look to the blog too – much easier to read!

You’re probably all wondering about the treadmill desk. I know I said I would have pictures or a video last Monday, but then MY AGENT SOLD MY SECOND BOOK, I mean, I had other news. Maybe next week? I’ve walked approximately 12 miles and written about 20 new pages this week though, so I’m feeling great about it!

Next week, I’m off to Vancouver for a couple of days to visit the always fun and hilarious Eileen Cook (pre-order her book here!), but never fear, I’ve got a fantastic author interview and another book giveaway scheduled for Wednesday (a published book, not just an ARC). Have a great weekend, everyone!
