October Website Updates

Hello Honorary Playfriends!

First off, thanks to everyone who entered my little impromptu contest for the newsletter subscribers. Not only was I tickled to have so many entries, I was amazed at how quickly some of you responded! No "I'll read it later" in this crowd! Congrats to the winner, Marelou! Maybe we'll do this again.

Now, on to the updates! Over in School, Instigator goes over the problem of perfect characters and how tomake them more interesting by exposing those fatal flaws:

Smarty Pants brings the funny and fabulous Jill Shalvis to the Sandbox this month: http://www.writingplayground.com/sandbox.html
(Be sure to check out Jill's blog if it's not already on your Blog roll. Hysterical!)

Angel chooses a fabulous (ahem) book as our Book of the Month and gives it a great review:

Over on the blog, we have three more authors lined up for October: Leanne Banks on 10/6, Jillian Burns on 10/14, and Natalie Anderson on 10/18. Hope you'll stop by!

And, just in case you weren't aware. yours truly has a book out in October! BOARDROOM RIVALS, BEDROOM FIREWORKS! will be on a shelf near you soon and is available for pre-order now.

I'm going to go make a cup of tea and enjoy the wonderful temps of fall on the porch tonight. I hope your weather is wonderful and that you have a great October!

I remain,
The Problem Child
