WRITE WHAT YOU LOVE BLOG POST

I'm guest blogging today over at Not Your Usual Suspects, talking about writing what you love. www.notyourusualsuspects.blogspot.com

In some sad news, we had a medical emergency this past week, and had to put our beloved Missy to sleep. She was our 12-year-old black labrador and we had had her since she was a year old. She was such a part of our family and it was devastating to lose her.

As I've said before, and I'll say again, I'm going to TRY to be better about blogging and having guest bloggers from time to time. I'll keep everybody posted as things progress.

Thanks.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?

I'm blogging today at Not Your Usual Suspects blog and asking the question which do you prefer--to know who the villain is right away and go through the suspense and build up until they are caught, or do you like to be kept guessing until the end of the book?

Stop by and leave a comment, telling me which you prefer. www.notyourusualsuspects.blogspot.com

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Hope its filled with lots of love (not to mention a good dose of chocolate).
