Cars, Illustration Reveals, Blog Tour Soon!

I'm posting a mishmash of things today. Some good deals too! I bought that Nissan Cube! Now, teary-eyed with nostalgia, I must sell my beloved Subaru Forester asap because I need the space in the garage. SO! Anyone in the NYC area in need of a reliable workhorse with a rockin' new Pioneer digital stereo system? Only 3K. My 1998 car has 130 miles on it, but have no fear. In the last few years I've gotten new tires, a new timing belt, new brakes and muffler, and much much more (Have paperwork to show). It is in excellent condition. Email me if you want to see! kitsy84557 (at) gmail (dot) com. Perfect for buzzing to writers' conventions and hauling everything from kids, to books, to your mother-in-law.

Next, I am thrilled to say that Amazon is finally offering my illustrated YA thriller, Fireseed One at a short-term deep discount--$7.99!!! (down from $11.10) Check out Jay Montgomery's wraparound cover for it, and one of my illustrations, and you'll see why a collectors' paperback is sometimes superior to an eBook. Sometimes.

Also, announcing that starting on Feb 20th, the Fireseed One Blog tour, Blaze Through Winter will commence. What do you think of my banner-in-progress? We make 16 stops on the virtual high-speed blog train to some pretty fabu sites! Stay tuned for deets.

Finally, I hear Fireseed One shamelessly whining for Likers over at his Facebook page. (Somehow, the monstrous five foot tall red flower seems like a guy) If you feel so inclined, he will give you a hug with his winding boughs.

What's up in your world?
