I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday.

I find posts for Momgiveaways.com and I like to list your book giveaways.
Also wanted to say that I requested your books at the library this AM. I know you'd rather I buy them, but I just don't buy very many books. They had Only Uni, but not Sushi for One.
Have a great day!
hugs,
