Big News! Turkey Re-Hash and Hot Tamales

Reminder: Today I'm guest blogging at Petit Fours and Hot Tamales. I'd love for you to come over and say hi. Tell your friends!

And if you haven't seen it yet, please check out my news below, too.

:::

Happy Monday!

For those of you here in the U.S., I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. I also hope you survived Black Friday without too many scrapes and bruises to your body, your psyche, and your bank account.

Our Thanksgiving was fantastic, and I ate way too much. We stayed home on Friday and enjoyed a very lazy day, except for trying to put the house back in order. I think my favorite part of Thanksgiving is turkey sandwiches :)

Now it's time to move forward.

This is the last week of NaNo. I hope all your word counts are on track. Congrats to all of you who are participating this year!

On Wednesday, I will be the guest blogger/chef at Petit Fours and Hot Tamales. If you're not familiar with this blog, zip over and check it out. You can go today, but please go back on Wednesday - LOL! Petit Fours and Hot Tamales is a group blog powered by ten awesome southern writers, some of whom you've seen commenting and guest posting here. I'm happy to be part of their team for the day.

And now for my Big News.

On Monday, January 7, I will be doing a Cover and Blurb Reveal for my next book - SOLOMON'S COMPASS.

And I'm inviting all of you to share this news. I'm not picky about how you do it - on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Google+, carrier pigeon, or tribal drums. Whispers to your sister and BFF. Whatever. I'm just hoping you will help me get the word out.

SOLOMON'S COMPASS is a story of love, loyalty, and the value of keeping a promise. I can hardly wait for you to see the awesome cover. The designer, Derek Murphy, outdid himself. I had a definite idea in mind, and he developed it. My idea turned into a Massive Fail. I sent him the blurb and synopsis and asked him to do his magic. He did. I'm totally thrilled.

If you would like to participate in the Big Reveal, please sign up on the linky list below. During the first week of January, I will send you all the information about the book for you to use as you wish.

BTW, you all know I'm not exactly technically proficient. If the list isn't here when you read, you may experience me tinkering on Monday morning until it shows up. Or yelling for help if it never does.

Huge thank-you hugs for helping me by participating!

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is turkey soup!

Julie Flanders said…
Oh, how exciting! I signed up to help with the reveal, can't wait. I love that title and the story sounds excellent.

And I just have to say that my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the turkey sandwiches too! There's nothing better than a cold turkey sandwich on the day after Thanksgiving. Yum! :)
Southpaw said…
I went to enter my name in the linky and completely blanked on my URL and my email address! Good grief must be from turkey overload!
Susan Oloier said…
Note to self: Check out Petit Fours and Hot Tamales tomorrow.
I signed up. Cover reveals are so very exciting!
Carol Kilgore said…
Julie - Cool! I could almost give up the hot roasted turkey for a cold turkey sandwich. Almost, LOL!

Southpaw - Too funny! I must have it, too, because yesterday I blanked on my zip code.

Susan Oloier - Yay! Thanks :) I think cover reveals are exciting, too.

I left a comment on the guest blog site, but apparently I was screened out by the spam filter. I've been commenting less and less on non-Blogger sites because I seem to have problems with a lot of them.
