Shameless plugging for you, me and everyone

Hi Everyone! would anyone be interested illustrators or writers published about to be published and would shamelessly like to have their work plugged? If you do let me know I am a freelance writer for a blog called What to Read. I can do a review of your book or we could even do an interview, maybe even do a giveaway if you would like. Let me know.

Update

Hello to all my lovely readers. Here is a few little updates for you.

As you have noticed I haven't been around much, this is not because I have left you all hanging with bated breath; no I have been at What to Read. This is one of my newer projects, I just recently gave it a face lift, so that means follow the link, tell me what you think, suggest a book.

My muse left me again I am offering a reward if you find her.

The Adventures of Theodore Edward Bear is another step closer to being published; only 8 million more steps to go.

Love to all

"Stop it or I'll tell!"
"But Daddy why can't I have a cookie?"
"Tell us a story!"

What are you looking at?
Nothing love, just ghosts.
Do you think a family will move in?
Maybe,
It would be nice to have children run through here again.
Yes it would.

It's hard at times to let go of your childhood,
stupid house, it's only a building.
You can drive your grandchildren by and drive them nuts with stories of this house.

We close the door one last time and I watch the past go giggling by.

"Catch me if you can!"
"I want to go to!"
"Wait for me, I'm too little!"

shhh. It's about to start.
Wait for it.
The first soft notes float through the room; they grab me by my ears. I hold my breath waiting, waiting for the crush of notes to swell and flow like the oceans waves crashing to shore. There a stumble, keep going, it's almost done. The last of the notes fade softly away like a summer storm.
A hush; then; the place is filled with clapping hands and mine are loudest of them all.
Well done my girl. You did me proud.
