I have my usual Tuesday post up at Fatal Foodies, today on the subject of an almost-instant treat for Christmas.

I’m also guest at Ellis Vidler’s blog, The Unpredictable Muse, talking about Giving It Away, “It” being, in this case, fiction. Specifically, I’m talking about how much fun I had writing “By the Book“, the sneakily named short story I’m giving away to promote the novel FORCE OF HABIT. Ellis has a wonderful blog; please stop in and see.

Yesterday, I made a 30-second spot advertising SPEC THE HALLS, an anthology of fantasy, horror and science fiction stories set during winter holidays. All proceeds go to Heifer International, one of my favorite charities. Please watch the trailer and consider buying.

And that’s enough of me for one day.

WRITING PROMPT: What thing of some value would your main character give away and why?
