I apologize for no American Idol comments this week, but since I don’t see people coming in droves or even making a comment about the show, I wonder if I’m only talking to myself?  LOL. Probably.

I realized today that the release of my novella, THE OPAL HUNTER, is only days away. And I’ve done very little to shout it from the rooftops.

After some disastrous results with promo for books in the past, I guess I decided that I’ll let the readers find me this time. I write a decent book, the readers buy it, and if they like it, they will come back for more.

However, the one kind of promo I will be doing is giving away a copy to a member of my newsletter group!  And right now that number is quite small, so the odds of you winning a freebie are quite high…it’s a good time to join!  There’s a link on the homepage in the sidebar. Check it out.

I don’t overburden my members with loads of announcements, just so you know. Last summer, I decided to go to a quarterly newsletter, and really the only other time I send out things  is on new release days or when a book becomes available on Fictionwise. That’s it. I promise I will not bombard you with crap.

Once I get through this release, I start rolling through four more book releases in the next three months. Crazy crazy!
