Book and blog news

Firstly I want to that McGuffy Ann  for the following award.


Please do pop by and see McGuffy Ann and say hi.
will pop back and forward on to some of the great new blogs I have discovered later.

We all pick up lots of book news on our Internet travels and I quite often re-tweet or share on FaceBook bits of info and news I pick up on.

I feel I want to share some of these with you all.  Hope to do this a bit more often on the blog.

I did mention a personal giveaway for my followers as I have reached over 200 followers.  I would like to run this giveaway in conjunction with a giveaway for my 1st blog anniversary which comes up in July.  I can then have 2 prizes - one international and one UK only.

                                               ******************************

Check out this new website for New authors.   love a happy ending launches on 29th June 2011.  Lots going on there.

                                                                 

                                                *****************************
