Visit 5MinutesforMom.com. From there you and enter to win a 16g Nook Tablet for Mother's Day. Of course then you could go and buy a copy of "While You Were Out" for it as an added bonus ;). Just saying. Now off to clean my office so I have a clean place to do more writing...

This is very important to me. Reading is something that was important to all 3 of my girls. So far one is passing that love on to her own child. I can not imagine what ours lives would have been like without books. A woman I am proud to call a friend has given a chunk of her life to helping people learn to read. There is a group (Books for Africa) has donated books (22,000 books!). All we need to do is collect the funds to ship them. The towns have raised some of the money needed. Now it is our turn. If each person who reads this would donate would donate $5 it would be an awesome step toward the $16000 needed to ship the books to children that I no would love them as much as mine would. Please donate. I will also leave the link up on the side so you can come back and donate again later. Thank you.

This is the link to the Columbus Creative Cooperative. It is a group of Central Ohio writers that get together to help each other with there stories. They also put together anthologies. The more recent is "While You Were Out: Short Stories of Resurrection" All the stories deal with something dying and coming back to life. I'm telling you about this because one of my stories is in the book. I'm proud of this story and want to share it. I have read the other anthologies and think they are great reads. Click the link and buy yourself one. The link will remain permanently on the right. Once I read the full book I'll post a more in-depth review and tell you more about the process of getting published. Right now I just want you to buy the book and tell me what you think. It is available right now for Nook and Kindle. This link will take you to CCC's website where you can buy a book in your preferred format. Thanks, Tina
