Thanks for mentioning our free stuff! We appreciate it! We have more free stuff coming tomorrow in honor of our 300th post. How are we ever going to be rich rock star writers if we give everything away? Sheesh.

Also, that's a great cover. I'm glad you finally have a release date. We're both looking forward to reading "The Family Ruins."

Hi. I'm Rachel. I'm also doing the A-Z Challenge this year so I thought I would pop by to introduce myself.

Firstly, congrats! I have no idea what the book is really about yet, but I'm happy for you!

Secondly, I think I might put those links you posted to use. The worst they can do is say no, right? Maybe I should look to see what they might like.
