A Giveaway and some News

Here's a giveaway that anyone would love. Click on vanity to see where you get to shop if you win.

For those of you who are submersed into the writing world, you will understand the significance of what it means to get a literary agent. If those words mean little to you, just think of an agent as the possibility of great things.

Without an agent, writers are often limited to small press, religious markets or niche publications.

With an agent, writing has new exposure to the national market publishing houses. Having an agent does not guarantee success, but it does improve the chances.

That said, my big news is that I signed with an agent. YAY!!!

And, as fate would have it, an online store approached me last week and asked if I would host a giveaway on their behalf.

For your enjoyment, there is a $40 gift card up for grabs from CSN stores. They have so many great things to choose from that you can't go wrong. Need a new bookshelf, a new chair, throw pillows, a hammock, whatever, they have tons of stuff.

To enter, just leave a comment with your e-mail address. Right now I haven't picked an end time for the contest, but it might go all month. I'll update that as I get more info.

Good luck!
