Starting the 9th, leave a comment over at Avery Olive’s website to be entered into a drawing for many, many different books, ebooks, journals, gift cards–lots of STUFF.  My book, Tales Told Under the Covers, is part of the drawing for December 14, so leave a comment then 🙂

Thank you for the excellent comments.  Updates…still need to get the non-swirly version; I may be getting a new wolf silhouette from my friend Asia’s Dark Moon Farm & Kennels…she has a husky who likes to sing, she says 🙂
