Finally the fireworks have almost stopped for now. Really tired of hearing them going off.  It is time for the government to outlaw commercial sales of fireworks to prevent the injuries that occur each year.

Are you on Facebook?   If so, have you befriended Pixel of Light?  They give away free eBooks three times a day.  They usually have four or five each time with different genres each time.

Another great source for books is BLOG TOUR DE FORCE

They have free give-a-ways several times a year.  And again they provide different genres.

They even have FREEBOOKSY

This website is where you can sign up for different types of books to be sent to you. They will be delivered to your inbox.  You tell them what type of literature you want to receive and how often, for what type of reader and your email type.  It is all explained on their website via the link above.

I haven't done any writing this past two week as I had eye surgery and am still mending from that. Now it is time for the consult for the next surgery plus a procedure on another issue. Maybe sometime soon I can get to that editing and get some writing done.

How about you?  Have you been working on anything interesting?  Tell us all about we would love to hear.

One month of vacation left minus the two days that we have to go in to work for curriculum. Time sure is flying by fast. No vacation again this year, but hopefully there will be some short trips we can make before it is over.

What are your big plans for the rest of summer? Is anybody taking a big trip?  Tell us and let us wish we were going with you.

That is about it for this time, still getting headaches when I read this small screen. In about four more weeks I can get reading glasses and that will help.

Take Care and please leave us a message and let us know how you are doing.

Until next time,

John

Shelfari: Book reviews on your book blog

I have been reading a lot of books lately on writing, of course, and I ran into a new newsletter that looks promising. The only thing you have to watch out for is in his latest ones he gives spoilers on Hunger Games as he goes through it discussing various techniques.

I haven't had much time to write this week as we are building a new gate in order to try to keep the dog from going on his run around the block. He thinks he needs to get out every once in awhile to see what is new in the neighborhood. He doesn't go far, but it usually takes ten minutes or so to get him back in the yard. This last time he came in and went and hit the old gate again and popped the lock off, and out again for a short run back down to the driveway.

How has your week been?  Leave a message down below telling what is going on in your life. We really would like to read about it.

All in the Family Cruise sold another copy in the UK this past week.  Of course She Rises at Dawn was the big seller last quarter. I should get a pretty good check from that quarter.

Okay one last time, leave us a message and let us know what is going on in your

world.

Until next month,
