It's Summer Time...

Time to relax, enjoy the weather, and pull out those books you've been meaning to read all winter! At least, that's what I'm going to try to do.

SIGHTINGS

Running from June 21-25, this hop is full of prizes, fun posts, and several wonderfully huge final prizes. Be sure to visit the SFR Brigade for more details. Don't miss out on a chance at all the great prizes! On my Blog, I'll have a bonus of a $20 gift certificate giveaway as well. See you there on the 21st!

My particular Q&A will be live on June 21st. The question comes from THE SECRET OF NARAVA (The Naravan Chronicles 2)--following this link will take you to the place where you'll see the answer! Make sure to get there on the day for a chance to answer my question and win prizes. (Be sure to sign in or register with TRR; it's free and that's how they keep track of points for winning prizes.)

I'm also giving away a copy of INTERFACE (The Naravan Chronicles, 1.5) as one of the prizes so look out for that. And

most importantly, have fun!

And on July 13th, visit me at Sable Grey's blog where I'm doing an interview.
