I Want to Do Something for You

You are the most wonderful people in the world.

If I don’t get the SAM-e job, being part of this process will have been more than worth it to have experienced the love that you have shown to me. I can’t repay it. I can’t thank you enough. I have been stunned, shocked, disbelieving, overwhelmed, and incredulous by your efforts on my behalf. I hate to ask you every day to vote. Sometimes I wish I’d never gotten into this! Not because I don’t want the job (I do), but because I feel as if it’s such a burden for you. One day, a friend emailed me and told me about this contest. In five minutes, without thinking it through, I filled out the form and I was in it.

And my life has not been the same since.

My goal with this website every day is to give to you. And from now until December 7, I have to ask for something from you. I want to do something for you. Here is what I’ve come up with and I’m open to suggestions of what more I can do for you. (Let me know if you have ideas!)

If you have posted about me on your blog or your forum, anything where I can provide you a link, please comment here on this post, tell me that you’ve posted about me, and leave the link to your blog or to your forum. I will put them all together in a post in the next few days and post your links! If you are here, then there are probably other people here who would enjoy your blogs and your forums. Let me share them.

I know many others of you have posted on your Twitters and Facebooks and other places or just emailed people or gone around your offices telling people to vote, and so I need to find another way to thank everyone. I’m going to run some book giveaways in my forum. Post there once per day and I’ll have a random drawing every day to give away a copy of one of my books. Even if you are a man and don’t actually want one of my romance novels, it would possibly make a nice Christmas gift for someone on your list. I will autograph the book and sign it to anyone you like. I’ll have a winner every day. (This is in addition to the Chickens in the Road calendar contest that is ongoing till Thanksgiving Day. See details below on that.)

Because I set my blog a day in advance, at night, to be sure my blog is waiting for you the next day no matter how early you get up, I will be posting a new book giveaway topic every day to include the link in the next day’s post. I will post the topic late at night, after making the random drawing from the previous topic.

Today’s book giveaway topic is here. I will note in each day’s topic what the title of the book is that I’m giving away.

You can read all about my books here.

By the way, you can also embed my video on your blog or post the link on your Facebook and Twitter.





Here’s the link to the video: Suzanne from Walton, WV. To embed the video on your blog, click the “embed” bar to the right of the video here.

And now for your daily public service announcement:

The vote watch is here if you can handle the nail-biting addiction.

The voting runs through December 7. These are early days yet and the competition is working it, so please stay with me!

And don’t forget–comment here for your first entry of the day for the 2010 Chickens in the Road Calendar giveaway. Then go here to make additional entries: The Chickens in the Road forum.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? All the contest details are here. (But remember to come back here to make your comment entry (on this post).

THANK YOU!

Round Steak

When I asked here on the Chickens in the Road forum about fixing a round steak, boy did I get answers! (The forum is a great place to ask questions and get answers.) My round steak dinner turned out delicious. Here’s how I made it–I sauteed some onions then dredged the round steak in flour mixed with some seasoned salt. I browned it in a bit of melted lard in a big iron skillet, tossed the sauteed onions on top, then poured on some cream of beef soup, made from the mix you can find in this post) for the gravy, and baked it (covered) right in the iron skillet!

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
