  1. Happy Saturday weekend, Seekerville!

    It's a long weekend for those of us in the States with the Veteran's Day holiday on Monday. More time for writing, right?

    We're expecting warm weather today (in the 60's,) but winter is returning tonight with a storm moving in. We don't expect too much snow, though. Only about 3" - just enough to make driving dicey. :-)

    Have a great weekend, everyone! And don't forget to head over to Friday's post if you missed it earlier. Giveaways are extended through the weekend!

  2. Happy Weekend. Although our schools are not closed on Monday, I am still taking the day off from subbing since I have a bad cold and have lost my voice. I look forward to a long weekend without having to work or talk much. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

  4. I love a good novel with a lot of twits and turns. When I wrote my first twisty novel, https://usabookreviewers.com/christmas-gift helped to get reviews for my book.

  5. I am new here. How do we find out if we win giveaways? I read that it's in the Weekend Addition. Where is that?
