Exciting News!

Well, the first bit of news is not that exciting.

What's Cooking Wednesday will be on a Thursday (ie. tomorrow) because I've been using up the last of my farm share stuff, and I want to finish one more recipe (and maybe even have a decent picture) before posting that. So that's not exciting at all. What probably WOULD be exciting is to go over to Shan's place to see the other What's Cooking Wednesday participants.

Okay... now for the exciting news.

I have a very special guest coming on Monday. I even get to be the FIRST stop on a blog tour. And it's for an author I adore and a book I can't wait to read!

Karen E. Olson, author of the Annie Seymour mysteries and the upcoming "Ink" series (based on a Vegas tattoo artist - how much fun is THAT going to be?), is going to come here to talk about her new release, Shot Girl, the final book in the Annie series. (And I'm sniffling here because I love me some Annie!)

In honor of Karen's visit, I'm having my first bloggy giveaway! Yes, you can have your very own copy of Shot Girl just by visiting here on Monday and leaving a comment. And it's worth coming anyway, because Karen's always fun and you'll want to see what she has to say.

So... let the countdown begin!

April, she's really a terrific writer - if you haven't read her first three, get thee to your local bookstore (or library) post haste!
