Okay, let's try this again!  Jennifer Morris, who is running the convention in St. Augustine, wanted me to let you know that she's offering a FREE REGISTRATION!  Here's her post, HERE'S THE LINK so you can see what the fuss is about!

Dearly Beloved,
We are gathered here today, to join two awesome things in a state of increased awesomeness.
Today, we're bringing together an author/reader mini-con, and the chance to WIN YOUR WAY IN FOR FREE!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen... starting today, you will all have 7 days to hop around from author to author, blogger to blogger, and enter at every stop to win one of 3 FREE REGISTRATIONS to Olde City, New Blood, the upcoming urban fantasy/paranormal romance mini-con in St. Augustine, FL next February.

You can check out the official website for the complete list of Featured Authors (I'll give you a hint... one of them is ME!!) and Featured Bloggers. There's also a main contest post with all the participating authors, bloggers, and dates for the contest. It's super easy.

And I'm serious.  EVERYTHING goes down!  So here is a list of places I suddenly popped up on the internet yesterday, while I was seeing Chicken (my oldest daughter) off to college:

Okay-- trying to do a couple of things with this post.  First of all, I was trying to prove to my husband that weebly hated me and that's why there wasn't a picture of Dex on the last post.  The second thing I was trying to do was to fix the cross posting on FB, so I didn't have, like SIX posts on FB.  And, the THIRD thing I was trying to do, and probably the most important, was to tell you that I've posted a blog HERE on Mary Calmes website about Dex in Blue and by doing so, prove that I've managed the fine art of linkage on the new site!  

So, uhm, wow.  There you go!  Multitasking in one post!

Hiya!  There's a contest over at Chris's blog, Stumbling Over Chaos for our guys, Dex and Kane!  Per usual, if we get more than 100 comments here, I offer more than one copy.  If we get to 125, I offer three!  Don't forget to check out the rest of Chris's site while you're there-- she's got some of THE coolest things!  

So, my mate, being a wonderful, incredible mate, hath maketh me a BRAND NEW WEB PAGE, and lo and behold, IT IS GOOD!  

Seriously-- I got enough comments about how outdated my website was that I think he got a little self-conscious.  He put together this brand new spiffy site, with (and this is his FAVORITE PART) an apparently idiot proof entry system, which means that I can update it at any time.  Now, I don't know how this is going to work, with my blog and all.  My blog is mostly personal, funny stuff, and I always feel bad when I talk about my books there, because unless your a fan of the books, that can get pretty boring when you just sign on to listen to me ramble.  So I THINK that what I'll do is this:  

Book news is going right here.  This is the link I"ll post on Twitter, this is the place I'll update on Facebook-- thereya go.  But ME news?  That's going on the blog, until they get so mixed up that my feeble little mind can't handle it.  If you guys (all, I don't know, two of you) who follow my website and my blog can think of a better system, let me know, and in the meantime, I'll try to make sure my feeds are loaded EVERYWHERE.  

Now, the next time I post, it's going to be public appearances, so that should be spiffy.  And then there's going to be an entry about Dex, and where I've cross posted--ooh... I think I've got this all worked out in my teeny tiny peabrain!  And I've got to tell you, I'm EXCITED!  I've got a WEBSITE and it's IDIOT PROOF!  Someone let me know if there's some sort of cooking class that will do the same thing for me, and in the meantime?  Let's give Mate his kudos--see?  There he is, taking a well deserved rest!  

Thank you, Mate!
