Tangerine by Marilynn Griffith
Chocolate Beach by Julie Carobini

I got tagged by both Angie Breidenbach (Finish the Book e-mail loop) and Cheryl Wyatt.

Six weird things about me:

1) I stand and work at my computer almost the entire day, leaving my expensive ergonomic chair to languish in abandonment. The reason is because standing was actually better for my back, and I can do a little light aerobics while at my computer.

2) I did mention I had 3500 books, right? Here’s the proof.

3) I knitted a toilet seat cover to prevent my bum from freezing. It does not get weirder than that.

4) I absolutely love handbags, but I hardly ever switch the one I’m using. I had a black Dooney and Bourke backpack purse for several years (that thing was indestructible! I loved it) until I recently switched to the cutest little pink Dooney and Bourke purse that I got on sale.

5) I have to set an alarm clock in my office to remind me to take my daily medicine.

6) I swore I’d never get a Mac computer, because at my last job, I had an ancient iMac that was the bane of my life and absolutely no tech support at the company to help me to use it. Then I got fed up with the problems my PC was having, plus my husband was using a Mac laptop for work, and got a darling MacBook Pro. I love it, and I’m very happily eating my words.

TAG! YOU’RE IT! Post your own “six weird things” and leave a comment to let me know!

Love the new cover. That girl is beautiful by the way. Sigh... but we aren't supposed to be envious, so I'm moving on.

Really great cover. Can't wait to read it!

Hey Camy,
You are definitely weird (seat cover?) You must live in a cold climate like me up in MT. Wait, maybe I need one of those, lol.
I love your photo and your blog's look. I'll be baaack. I have to learn some more from you.

I LOVE the new picture! Beautiful.

I posted my six things. I love purses, too, as you'll see.

I don't think I could stand and write. It would drive me crazy!

I'm way behind on my blog reading due to the kiddos being sick, so please forgive me for being a couple days late.

I love this meme! And I don't think knitting the toilet seat cover is weird. In fact, I think it was very creative. And the standing while writing, that sounds like a good idea. Too bad I'm so lazy or I would try it. lol.

BTW, I love the cover for your book. AND I think the new picture of you in the sidebar is gorgeous!

I'm a few days late responding too, but that's cuz I just tagged Camy on my blog and learned she'd already been tagged. So, I came here to see.

Toilet seat cover? Ingenious!

And I'm with everyone else, the cover is gorgeous! Just like your pic.

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And...

Excerpt - A HUNDRED YEARS OF HAPPINESS by Nicole Seitz

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.05.2009 Update: Sorry, this giveaway is closed. A Hundred Years of Happiness by Nicole Seitz A beautiful young woman. An American soldier. A war-torn country.

Cover Reveal + New Logo for Year of the Dog, a Mahina Security Novel

A New Look for Year of the Dog (and a Behind-the-Scenes Oops!) What do a dog trainer, a security expert, and a nearly-naked book cover have in common? Let me explain. 😅 Year of the Dog is the first book in my Christian romantic suspense series, Mahina Security, set in beautiful (and sometimes dangerous) Hawaii. It features quirky humor, family tensions, sweet romance, and a mystery involving a missing person—and it’s now available to read in the Christian suspense anthology, Danger in the Shadows , on Kindle Unlimited ! But before that happened, I had a bit of a cover mishap… While creating the ebook cover, I realized that the original stock photo made my heroine look, well, completely nekkid. 😳 She’s actually wearing a tube top in the image, but when I cropped it for the ebook, the top disappeared—leaving her looking very PG-13. To fix it, I did some Canva magic on a strappy top from another image and stuck it onto the model (so she’s decent now). But when I resize...
