This is such an honor for me in so many ways. My sincere thanks to the coordinators and judges of this contest. I am so happy the story touched you the way it did me.

Full Circle, that is. I have to dust off the blog to put up this beauty! If you’re looking for a few good books, here is the complete list of finalists.

Congrats to all my fellow authors!

I’m guest blogging on the Contemporary blog at RomCon today. Come over, share your story, win a book!

Sent by my sister, originally discovered on a T-shirt at www.shirt.woot.com (of course, it’s no longer the featured shirt, to the dismay of candy corn fans everywhere):

For the record, I have given up my candy corn obsession and replaced it with “indian corn”. You know, the candy corn with the (fake) chocolate on the end. Sooo much better than the plain kind.

Retailers, for the sake of my health, please pull these bags of horrible Brach’s goodness out of the stores. My resistance is futile!

Attention Julie, Ashley and Brenda: I need info on where to send the prizes you won last week. Please leave your email in the comments or send a note to avery at averybeck dot com to claim your goodies, because at the end of this week I’ll have to do something else with them. Can’t let good stuff go to waste!
