About Me

My Photo
I write Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction. I'm a married mom of four, and live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, famous for beaches and vineyards. I'm fond of Lindt's sea salt dark chocolate and hiking in good weather. My Young Adult rom/com time-travel CLOCKWISE series and contemporary/otherworldly Middle Grade IT'S A LITTLE HAYWIRE are now available on Amazon.

Friday Four or Five - Introducing Free Song Friday

1. First of all I want to say thanks to everyone who offered words of encouragement on my Hitting the Wall post. I felt lurved and supported. I admit to feeling a little sheepish now, but I also know it's not an uncommon experience. I had artists in other disciplines tell me the same thing happened to them after a big art show or CD release.

One (thanks Amo!) even pointed out that great men of the bible weren't immune.
"Elijah, after he just routed the Baal's priests, he laid down under a bush and said "Okay, God, just let me die!" Whereupon God sent him an angel with food & drink (they didn't have any DVDs in those days, or they would have included one in the care package)."

2. Monday is my "official" launch of  the paperback of CLOCKWISE. There will be a hastag contest where I'll give away a copy of TEMPEST by Julie Cross (staying with the time travel theme). All you have to do is tweet or facebook when and where you would go or what you would do if you could go back in time for one hour. For instance: I would go to New York in 1924 to the El Fey Club, and dance the Charleston #onehourbackintime

More on Monday, but you have the whole weekend to think about your answer, When and Where would you go and What would you do?

3. It snowed this week. I don't like winter. Still I offered to shovel the driveway if hubby would cook dinner.

4. I kept number 3 short because I really want to get to this one. You know how in Starbucks you can get the song of the week free download cards? (At least you can in Canada). Well, I happen to know a singer/songwriter and he's going to let me give away one song a week until Christmas! That's six free songs!

I wanted to find a way to show my appreciation for all my blog friends and to give you a special gift for the holidays. 

The first song is called Together by Norm Strauss (see, I have pull.)

About Together:

We are now starting to understand this thing called 'global community' a little bit now but the true ramifications of it are still emerging. Right now we have the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, problems with the Euro Zone economy and nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima. These, along with countless other events are affecting us all. It used to be a long way between continents but now we are standing right next to each other it seems. An unpaid debt in Greece can eventually affect what happens to a guy looking for a job in Iowa. A large wave hitting the Japanese coast can cause a spike in radiation levels in Canada. We are all in this together.

Just click on the link and download it. 
Enjoy!

  2. Woohoo! Free music! How cool is that? Thanks! Incidentally, music would have been included in Elijah's care package, too, had he been mp3-enabled.

  3. Great idea to give away Tempest too. Totally want to read that book! I'll start thinking what I would do with an hour back in time!

  4. It snowed here, too, but it didn't stick. I miss the days of living in Northern BC when we had snow on the ground for five months. It was fun as a kid.
