I'm online with my crazy seester at Ellora's Cave all day today with our List Mommy Day. Come join us! We'll have lots of fun and prizes for those who want to come out and play.

Anyone who wants a postcard of Wild, Wild Women of the West, send me your snail-mail address to mylajackson@earthlink.net

To make it even more fun, check out the contest I'm running all day. All you have to do is answer the questions in a comment to this blog and I'll draw one winner from those who get all the answers right at the end of the day.

If you win, what do you get? A download of one of my Ellora's Cave Releases - Your choice!

1. What two print books are available for PreOrder at Amazon.com? (Check out my home page)

2. What book comes out with EC Feb 21st? (And doesn't it have a great cover?)

3. What are the names of the hero and heroine in my Dec Release Witch's Curse? (hint, you can click on the cover and it'll take you to the page, or you can go to Books and click on it)

4. From this blog, what animal is in one of the pictures from my trip to New Zealand?

#6 Be more accessible to readers on line
#7 Post at least bi-weekly on my blog

Back from New Zealand and Australia!


There's no place like home! I love going other places, because it makes me appreciate my own home and my own bed! I'm back from 3 weeks touring the Land Down Under and the Kiwi capitol of the world. Both countries were wonderful and the people terrific! Driving on the other side of the road was crazy, but we managed, although I don't recommend learning to drive on the other side of the road in downtown Sydney. Auckland, maybe. Sydney? Uh, no. Let's see, I had wonderful fun in the sun at a beautifual coastal town of Coolangatta in Queensland Australia and lovely look at Sydney by train, ferry and bus and two weeks by car on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. We went whale watching (I got seasick), touched a glacier and saw a real live Kiwi (the bird, not just the people). It was fun and I met with Shelley Munro and Jean Drew, Kiwis and fellow authors. But now, back to work! I'm going to try to get a Naughty Nuptial written by the end of the month between two books I have to revise and edit. Ack! I'll load pics when I can navigate through the changes Blogger has made with Google!
