So sign up and know your information is confidential and you can look forward to great insider tips, subscriber-only previews, and monthly giveaways.

Reviews for In The Arms of Immortals are already coming in on Amazon, which tickles me. If you like the book, won’t you consider posting a review? Those are a big help to other readers. If you struggle with wondering what to write in a review, as I sometimes do, you can ask yourself these questions:

1. What did the book make me feel?

2. What did the book challenge me to think about or reconsider?

3. When I finished the book, I wanted to….

Book reviews–of all titles, not just mine–are one way we can engage with the larger community and influence our culture. Your words don’t have to be perfect to make an impact. Mine never are. In fact, there is only one perfect book ever written, and it’s not mine. :)  You don’t need to be perfect, not in a book review, and not in your everyday life. Just showing up and working from the heart are what matters.

Enjoy your fall weather this week!

My friend Kimberly Stuart posted a video tutorial on her blog today for her fans, and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing:

If you’ve never read Kimberly’s books, she’s sassy, real, and absolutely hyserical. Her new release, Stretch Marks, made me laugh and think. Promise me you’ll pick up a copy and snuggle up under the covers as the weather turns cooler. It’s a perfect book for hibernating, preferably with a nice bar of chocolate.

(Oh! Yes, and some of you amazing readers are already reviewing and commenting on my new book, In the Arms of Immortals. You can watch the trailer here if you haven’t already. It should be in bookstores across the country by next week. You can always ask your library to order a copy, too.)
