Girly Books Blog Hop Winner–and Other News

By Francinelasala @francinelasala

For the past few days, I have been delighted to welcome so many new readers to my blog for the Girly Books Blog Hop. I’ve had a great time learning about your favorite, inspiring places. I’m so glad you made it here! I can only have 1 winner for my giveaway, alas, so please join me in congratulating Marlena!

Marlena will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card plus a FREE ecopy of The Girl, the Gold Tooth & Everything or Rita Hayworth’s Shoes. A kooky, funny psychological drama or screwball rom-com… I wonder which one she’ll choose?

Now, more fun to report… I recently did a guest post for author Louise Wise in the voice of Harriet, a character from The Girl, the Gold Tooth & Everything. She’s writing a “Household Hints” column. It’s pretty scary (in a hilarious way, I hope): http://www.louisewise.com/2013/01/how-to-be-domestic-goddess-or-at-least.html?spref=tw

I also recently did a fun “A Taste of Tuesday” piece for author Monique McDonnell: http://moniquemcdonell.weebly.com/2/post/2013/01/taste-of-tuesday-with-francine-lasala.html

I do love appearing on other people’s blogs, for interviews, articles, or whatever you have in mind. Can I appear on  yours? Drop me a note at francine@francinelasala.com if you’re looking for guests. Upcoming guests here in the Shed include Samantha Stroh Bailey (Finding Lucas), Wendy Ely (Jesse’s Brother) and more.

Last, but far from least, about two weeks ago I started a Facebook group all about keeping the joy in life in your sights. It’s called The “Joy Jar” Project and it’s ballooned to over 400 members! (Did I mention it’s only 2 weeks old?) Please join this group; it will do your soul good!

That’s all I got for now. Thanks for visiting, and please hook-up with me all over the web (I do “like” and “follow” back, and I love to share and tweet your news):

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
