... and Friday

We got a powdering of snow last night, about an inch out here in Lakewood, but only a trace where I live. Just enough to be pretty, and make it look more like December. At this rate Denver may be heading for a brown Christmas, though I gather that it's different in the mountains - snow pack ahead of normal and ski areas doing great. But it's been dry enough in town that I've started watering things like rose bushes and fruit trees at the weekend - assuming it's above freezing!

I've started one more ebook giveaway on Librarything, this one for Storyteller Songs. This is a one-week giveaway only, ending on Christmas Eve. Take a look if you're interested.

A snow picture today - not from this morning, when I didn't have time for photography, but from last month. But the effect is much the same.



I've been working my way through the first three books, collecting character descriptions and getting Gwernin's voice back in my head in preparation to start writing again. I'm really looking forward to it!

... and Friday.

A late post - having taken the day off, I forgot it was Friday. I was also busy this morning sending out coupon codes for my giveaway of the e-book version of King Arthur's Raid on Hell, which just ended on LibrayThing. The next giveaway is for my second volume of poetry, Pryderi's Pigs, which will be running for two weeks. After that I have one more planned before Christmas, an e-book giveaway of Storyteller for non-US residents only. I'll put the details up when it starts.

It looks like my mouse problems are over for the moment, although the cats are convinced there's one or more living just outside the garage. It's a good bit warmer today than yesterday, and Titus found himself a warm spot for a nap:

... and Friday

I'm late today due to several things, not least that I've been doing more work on aldertreebooks.com and also giving out free e-books for my LibraryThing promotion of Flight of the Hawk. I've also just started a new e-book giveaway there for The Ash Spear.

The weather is finally changing - colder and greyer today, and likely to get more so over the next week. Time to finish rearranging the cold frame plants and reorganizing the garage so the rosemary (and eventually the geraniums in the cold frame) can come indoors for the winter. In and around this, I hope to get some writing done, too. At least I won't be tempted to spend the afternoon on the patio watching birds and drinking wine...

Friday again...

I had a little frost the last two nights, but now it's warmed up again. Should be a nice weekend, but we have colder weather coming Monday. I need to get some autumn color shots this weekend before it's over - I'll put something up tomorrow.

I can't remember if I mentioned it before, but my second e-book giveaway is still running on LibraryThing, this time for Flight of the Hawk. (Go to http://www.librarything.com/er/giveaway/list and scroll down - it should be the second item on the list.) You can also download the first 30% of the book free at Smashwords.com - links on the right sidebar as always.

LibraryThing Giveaway

I've started another e-book giveaway on LibraryThing, this time for the new Smashbooks version of Flight of the Hawk. You can see the giveaway here.

Also, a link to a little more information on the fascinating limestone terrain of the Burren, where yesterday's and today's pictures of Poulnabrone portal tomb were taken.
