Read Tuesday 2013

Posted on December 10, 2013 by suzanneadairDecember 10, 2013

Today I’m participating in Read Tuesday. For today only, all five of my ebooks are discounted to $2.99 each at Amazon.

Read Tuesday is a worldwide event scheduled for 10 December 2013. Its purpose is to get people to (what else?) read more and buy more books. It’s a sort of antidote to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a special day dedicated to huge book savings. Thousands of books are on sale today. What a great opportunity for readers to stock up on books from their favorite participating authors and publishers. Discounted books also make great gifts for the holidays. And Read Tuesday provides a great way to help improve literacy. Encourage someone—especially, a child—who doesn’t read much to read more. Share the gift of reading.

From the Vault

Posted on November 29, 2013 by suzanneadairNovember 29, 2013

I’ve been blogging for eight years. That’s a lot of posts. During the recent blog transfer from Typepad to WordPress, I got the chance to reread material from those early days. I think you folks would enjoy some of those posts—but they’re buried waaaay back there.

So starting tomorrow, I’ll add a semi-regular feature here on my blog called “From the Vault.” I’ll blow the dust off some of my old posts and some guest essays that I wrote for others and present them to you with a brief update.

Come on back tomorrow and read your first example of From the Vault.
