only 10 more days!!!

First, I'd like to know if anybody has trouble commenting on the blog? Adrienne from An Addicted Book Reader gave me a heads up that she was having issues with being able to comment on the blog. I spent an hour tweaking things, and I'm hoping things have been fixed.

But if you're having issues with comments and/or want to be entered in the giveaway but haven't been able to comment, please email: hocking_amanda@hotmail.com.

Also, if anyone has noticed the issues and knows how to correct them, please email me and let me know. I like it when things are fixed.

In the process of trying to fixing the comment thing, I finally figured out that I can add a My Books and About Me tab. The My Books tab is particularly exciting for me because you can find out the info on the books I have published and where to buy him. Which is fun.

In more fun news - tomorrow I'm going to post the interview I did with Joan Sween, author of Nice Girls Don't Bite.

And for your Flutter sneak peak in the ongoing countdown (only 10 more days!), I made a word cloud of the book. A site took the most commonly used words in Flutter. The more I use the word, the bigger it is. So you can get an idea of what kinds of things that happen the most: (If you click on it, the picture pops out bigger, so you can actually read it.)

And don't forget to enter the giveaway for 3 free books & other swag!

Jim Henson predicted the end of the world

Or more accurately, Brian Henson did. But more on that in a second... I read an article today about the BP oil spill, and some analysts think the oil spill won't end until Christmas. Meaning 4 million barrels oil would be dumped in the Gulf. And (I'm quoting) "That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf and completely change the ecosystem." (read the full story here ) Let me repeat that:  That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf. In less than a year, those greedy bastards and their lack of foresight will probably lead to the destruction of an entire ecosystem.  Fish, crabs, eels, dolphins, sea turtles, and all the plant life. Here's a list of how and what animals are effected by this: here . This doesn't even mention the economic damage it will do to tourism and the jobs of people who thrived on fishing and dependency on the Gulf life. One more time: That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf. Let's put aside how devastating it is to ...
