Writing News
Then there a lovely bit of news about the very first blog challenge I took part in after I started my blogging gig. The A to Z challenge hosted by Arlee Bird @ Tossing It Out. Well it's gotten bigger, better,....(I can't think of another comparative adjective) but you get my drift. How you ask. It now has its own website and is already preparing for the next one, next April. Don't miss out, head on over to: A to-Z challenge.com
Next, I want to mention a book on the way out which I'm looking forward to, so perhaps you can also add it to your X-mass sock list:
My favorite self-published author: J.L Campbell has her new novel Hardware coming out November 1st and if what I've read from her already is anything to go by, this is going to be ridiculously fierce.

| All that chubbiness has to go. Seriously! Even airbrushing don't help. |

| This is one of my favourite covers by Tirz. |
My good friend, favorite live poet and artiste extraordinaire, Tirzah Goodwin from A Clever Whatever gave me a head-shot makeover the other day and I thought, if only a person could do this in real life. You know, if you don't like you look that morning just go to some online database and borrow a look, do a little airbrushing and Bob's your uncle. Life would be grand, no bad hair days that end up in 10 hour sittings for braiding.
But on a more serious note, if you are a writer and more especially a self - published one and you haven't been to Tirzah's place, then I can safely say your are doing your yourself a monumental disservice. You need to see her book covers and tutorials on how to make them. The one on the left is one of my fave Tirz creations....oh she has a crazy habit of giving them away too.
