Free Today

Shotgun Bride-The Quinter Brides Book One is free today in honor of Read An Ebook Week over at The Wild Rose Press.

Read an E-Book Week

To celebrate READ AN EBOOK WEEK The Wild Rose Press will be giving away several books March 4th-9th. Every day a different book will be offered for free (some days it's two or more books). One of my books, Shotgun Bride-The Quinter Bride Book One, will be free on Friday the 9th.  Just go to http://www.thewildrosepress.com/  and scroll to the bottom of the page. Also, while on that same page, on the upper right hand corner of the page you'll see the above picture for READ AN EBOOK WEEK. Click on it and it'll take you to a listing of several sites that will be offering free books throughout the week. Feel free to share this information!

 

You do not need a dedicated reading device for ebooks. I have a Kindle, (hubby bought it for me last year, and I’m still in love with it, and him) but I also have the application downloaded on my Blackberry and on my laptop—which are free downloads at Amazon. I also have the Adobe Digital Reader Program on my laptop—which is also a free download, I got my through the Harlequin site, it automatically pops up when you order a book in the PDF version.

I still love print books, and have several shelves full, and like the ability to switch between the two, ebooks and print. 

It’ll be a busy week here, its grandparent’s day at our granddaughter’s preschool tomorrow, and she already determined where we will have lunch afterwards. She sang at church this morning, and afterwards convinced everyone, her parents, Papa and I, her other grandparents, great-grandpa and uncle to go out to eat afterwards. Yes, she enjoys eating out. 

The temperature is supposed to reach the fifties this week, which will melt last week’s eight inches of snow considerably. I may need to dig out the rubber boots. 

Enjoy life, smile at others, and love yourself! You’ll be glad you did.

Read an E-Book Week

Yep, that’s this week, March 6th-12th. The purpose of the week is to provide education on the ease and advantage of reading electronically. On the official website it says the first e-book came out 40 years ago! If you’ve never read one, I hope you’ll give it a try. I read on my Kindle every night, but don’t let not having a dedicated reading device hold you back. Before receiving my Kindle, I downloaded the app to both my laptop and my cell phone, but most e-books come in several formats so no app is needed. Many sites have specials happening this week, and there are lots of free reads out there. I have two with the Wild Rose Press. (Just scroll down the right side panel of my book covers and you’ll see them.)

This is also ‘party week’ around our place. We’re celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday on Saturday. Family is due to arrive later in the week, and on Friday, I’ll be making 20 lbs of Sloppy Joes and ten pounds of au gratin potatoes. My father used to make AWESOME potato sausage, which my mother loved, and just for her birthday, my youngest son (who has the recipe down pat) and his wife made 22 lbs of it for the party. There will be lots of other food and good family fun, so if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by! (She’s doing great with her chemo treatments and is looking forward to the event.)

I’m wrapping up the rough draft a story this week. I love finding out how the characters solve their problems and find their happily ever after. With that said, I’m off now, to pull up the manuscript and type away until it’s time to feed hubby.

Have a GREAT week, and DECIDE to be happy. That’s all it takes.
