Hi {FIRST_NAME},
Oh, dear. It's November! I feel like I'm not keeping up with anything, but I did not want to neglect communicating with you all. I have some fun things to share this month.
I've set myself a word count and boy has it been a struggle, but so far I'm meeting it. My hair stylist offered to keep me accountable and kick me off Facebook if she sees me lingering there too long. (But she might actually be busier than I am!)
So, I guess there is not much of an update as far as my writing goes. I'm working on Book One of the Ellis Island Series, tentatively titled GRACE'S PICTURES.
The Spirit of Christmas is now available, although I've not received my copies yet. Any day now! You can order it
online at Amazon and other retailers. There is also a Kindle edition.
A Cookbook from Christian Authors now available!
My good friend and awesome author Nicole O'Dell just released an ebook chock-full of recipes from many of your favorite Christian authors related to their books. I have two recipes in the book. She did a fabulous job on it and the design alone makes it worth a look. But of course it's going to make you want to cook! It's available now, link below, for only $2.99! BUT....I'm giving away some copies. Keep reading for the details. Please share the link with all your friends.
Here is a list of the contributors:
Hannah Alexander Max Elliot Anderson Paige Agnew Christa Allan Natalie Balnius Tammy Barley Lauralee Bliss Andrea Boeshaar Shari Braendel Ramona Cecil Nike Chellimi Lynn Cowell Valerie Comer Annalisa Daughety Mary DeMuth Evangeline Denmark Karen Ehman Mary Ellis Cathy Gohlke Lisa Grace Michelle Griep Beth Webb Hart Laura V.

Finally, some contest business! Maureen from New York State gave these answers to last month's contest:
What Irish saint, celebrated this month, is famous for his ocean voyages?
St Brendan
What Celtic festival takes place in October?
Samhain
Why is the Statue of Liberty green?
The Statue of Liberty is coated with a thin layer of copper, which turns a blue-green with age due to chemical reactions between metal and water.
Why did I visit Ellis Island?
You have just returned from an eight day trip that consisted largely of research for my novel series.
Who recently published a novel called Ellis Island and where does this author live?
Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan Killala, County Mayo, Ireland
For her efforts Maureen received the pad and pen set I showed you last month.
AND....if you've read this far, you'll all contest winners this month! If you'd like to receive NOVEL MORSELS for FREE just reply to this email and tell me how you found me and my books (if I don't already know, of course) and I'll send a code to enter when you check out on Nicole's site (link above.) Why? Because I'm so thankful for all you and your support. I pray you have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday and remember our veterans on 11-11-11. I'm be thinking of my father who was a WWII hero.
Blessings,
