I am really enjoying the Platform Building Campaign and having so much fun with the writing challenges. The very best however, has been the opportunity to meet so many talented individuals and to make so many new friends. Thank you to Rach at http://rachaelharrie.blogspot.com for all of your hard work in putting this Campaign together. You are amazing!
I have also really missed my Friday Friends. So much has happened since I last visited the beautiful host of Friday Fragments, Mrs. 4444. Is your head full of ideas for blog posts but not one is coming together for the full post? This is the place for you. Just dump them one Fragment at a time. Join me here: http://www.halfpastkissintime.com
I am also excited to hook back up with “The Crazed Fan Weekend” over at the Blog Entourage. http://theblogentourage.blogspot.com
So on with the Fragments!!!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BOOK AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PAGE?? NOTICE THAT FLASHY YELLOW STAR?? “BRISTOL boyz STOMP” IS AVAILABLE NOW!! THE ACTUAL RELEASE DATE IS 11/8/11 BUT YOU CAN CLICK ON THAT BOOK AND HAVE IT IN YOUR MAILBOX IN A FEW DAYS. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SIGNED BOOK MARKER AND I CAN SEND THAT TO YOU. [e-mail your contact info to doreenmcgettigan11@gmail.com] This has been a bittersweet journey for me but for those of you who have traveled with me, a huge thank-you and to my new friends, welcome!
I expected haters to come out of the wood -work when news of the book hit the streets and I am very grateful at the moment for my Spam collector because I would never want any of you to see some of the filth. The good news is just that… “good news” and it is overwhelming. There is a lot more good than bad…Whew…
Last weekend John and I played host to our 2nd youngest granddaughter Adriana and she joined us in Philadelphia for the annual “Out of the Darkness” Walk for the prevention of Suicide. We did not make the entire walk this year [I have not been feeling too good] but we did make it up those Rocky Steps…
This is the beautiful Melissa Ann Hopely and I at the Suicide Prevention Walk. Melissa wrote the forward for “BRISTOL bOYZ STOMP.” If you have any doubt that there are REALLY GOOD young people out there…check this young woman out…up there under Forward. She is a true inspiration!
I truly cannot wait to get around to visit you all!!
Finally; a few of the prizes have been mailed. Can you guess what I was waiting for?? If you have not checked out “The Big Contest” look up there under the tab…I have given so many clues and so few have figured out the easiest way to win….I have practically blurted out watch the book trailer [which is on You Tube] and leave a nice comment there. There is even a tab up there that says “Book Trailer” that takes you right to it.…We do have a new winner and hopefully can add a few more when I announce next Friday. Good Luck!!
Fall just sort -of came out of no where around here. It was down right chilly this morning! I am not a fan of the cold. I always start to get nervous about the holidays AS soon as I feel the first chill. It will be a bit different this year because I have a book launch thrown in the mix. I am just going to take a few deep breaths and enjoy each and every moment.
My favorite quote this week is: “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” ~~Thomas Jefferson
So who has started Christmas or Holiday shopping?? I have decided this year I am going to try very hard to buy everything hand made and from Etsy Shops. It shouldn’t be that hard there are some really talented and innovative people out there!!
Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone…
