How’d it Get to be November Already???
Life is positively flying past, and I don’t approve. Life doesn’t seem to care if I approve or not, so I guess it will continue to fly. Sigh.

However, there are two or three interesting bookly things going on in my world. First, ANGEL’S FLIGHT is now a certified audiobook, read by Darlene Allen, and I’ll be giving away copies in this month’s contest. Here’s the cover and the link in case you want to buy it rather than wait until the end of November to find out if you won a copy:

 

Also, I received a box and a half of ARCs (advanced reading copies) for SPIRITS REVIVED, Daisy Gumm Majesty’s seventh adventure, and I’ll be giving some of those away, too, at the end of the month in my contest. Here’s the cover:


And there’s yet another audiobook in the works! CACTUS FLOWER, an historical romance novel that always makes me laugh (so be warned) will be released in audiobook format soon. My old buddy Jim Hull narrates this one.



Other than that, life is still full of dogs, although it’s not as full as it used to be, thank HEAVEN. My three foster wiener dogs are now in Albuquerque, awaiting the New Mexico Dachshund Rescue Adoptathon, which will be held on November 9, at the Petco on San Mateo. So if you want to be a good guy (or gal) and adopt a used dachshund, be sure to stop by. I’m planning to be there. It will be nice to get out of Roswell and in a real city! And it’ll be good for the dachshunds in our care, too. Here’s the full skinny:


And that’s about it from here. If you’d like to enter my November contest, during which I’ll be giving away free copies of ANGEL’S FLIGHT, the audiobook, and free copies of the SPIRITS REVIVED ARC, please send me an email with your name and home address. Let me know if you want the audiobook or the ARC. Send it to me at alice@aliceduncan.net and I’ll throw your name into one of two special contest doggie dishes. Then, on November 30, Bam-Bam will draw names from both bowls, and the winners will either be sent a coupon for the audiobook (via email) or an ARC (at their home address). You can read about both books on my web site: www.aliceduncan.net .

Gee, I think that sounds more complicated than it actually is. Oh, well. Thank you!

Alice, I'm so happy the next of Daisy's book is ready. I know you have a real life, but I do wish you would write faster!

Alice Duncan said...

I used to write like a demon, Carolyn, but lately writing is just a chore. Wish I could get my mojo back. Sniffle.

Sue said...

However long it takes, we will look forward to every release! Great mojo needs time to gestate and develop. It's still in there, Alice! and we love it!!

Alice,

I love the cover art on all of your new books. Congrats on the audios and hardcover book.

Alice Duncan said...

Hope you're right, Sue. I think I'm suffering from a major case of burn-out. But I've got another Daisy book in the works, and write a word or two every day or two on it :-)

Alice Duncan said...

Thanks, Jacquie. I'm so glad to be getting my books out in audio! Ever since arthritis has limited my ability to hold books, I've been listening to them, and it makes me happy that people will be able to listen to mine one of these days!

Carole Price said...

Alice, I love all your covers. Congratulations!!!!! Good luck with the wiener doggies.

Alice Duncan said...

Thanks, Carole! I hope we adopt them all out to wonderful forever homes!

Maggie Toussaint said...

Hi Alice! A lot is going on in your book world and in your wiener dog world! Looking forward to your new releases.

Alice Duncan said...

Thanks, Maggie! Yes, indeedy, life is interesting at the moment. Wish I could get excited about writing my next book :-)

Your ARC is in the mail, Lynne! And you betcha I'll be in touch. I've been editing (in order to earn money) lately, so I haven't been writing much, but I had another thought about DARK SPIRITS. I'll share it with you :-)

Hope that the doggies get adopted.

Alice Duncan said...

I think they all have people interested in them, Charleydog! I sure hope so! They're all gorgeous doggies.
