Celebration Giveaway

It's not every day yourbook wins an award and Altered Destiny winning the RT award for fantasy/paranormal is so far the highlight of my career. So I think a celebration is in order! Don' t you? And what better way to celebrate than to give away some fantastic prizes. My fellow writers have graciously offered to donate their e-books for a ginormous give away.

What's blooming?

I am a writer but one of my other passions is gardening and cooking. So I thought why not indulge myself a bit? So I'm going to try to post something about either of those subjects each Friday. This are one of my favorite spring-time flowers. Here in zone 9, ranunculus bloom in April and May. This is one of those lovely, generous plants that bloom the more you cut! And as most of you know, I love cut flowers. I don't remember the exact type of flower this is but I love the vivid color. They glow in the sunlight. Ranunculus bloom in a wide range of colors though so take your pick! They grow from a bulb-no seeds-and will eventually spread. I have a cluster of them planted with my purple anemones. (I know my husband took a picture of them, but it's past time for the anemones already) Trust me, it's a gorgeous display. These are planted with pale purple creeping thyme.

WON THE RT READERS CHOICE AWARD!!!

Tuesday Tidbit

Yup, I know it's Wednesday but I was locked out of my blog until today. : (

So here is a silly fact about me you probably don't know, and maybe don't want to know, and which might be TMI. ; )

I can not bring myself to wear a red bra with a purple shirt. In fact, I have to make sure all under garments coordinate if not match what I'm wearing.

Do you have any quirks you'd be willing to share?
