From the 2013 Debs… Deb Kerry really has no news of interest. Other than discovering that apple pie can be made without peeling the apples first. This is BIG news for busy writers everywhere! Deb Dana spent a lovely Thanksgiving with her extended family — and ate way too much pie! Deb Susan also enjoyed a relaxing and happy Thanksgiving with family and friends – and hopes everyone else enjoyed the holiday too!…
It’s the day after Thanksgiving so if you’re reading this, you’re either still in a triptophan stupor, you’re back from shopping at midnight, or you, like me, prefer to guard the leftover stuffing instead of to fight for the best deal on hat and mitten sets. And while many would say they don’t like leftovers, I think there is a lot to be said for making something last and revisiting…
Gobble. GobbleGobbleGobbleGobble … Wait. English. Yes. Welcome to Thanksgiving Day at the Debutante Ball! The debutantes are all spending today with their families (and hopefully none of mine), so I – DEB TOM – agreed to fill in at the Ball today. (I might have stolen Deb Susan’s password without her knowing, but we’ll just make that our little secret, shall we?) Those of you in the United States are…
I’m in a strange place when it comes to Thanksgiving, an awkward sort of betwixt and between. It’s a holiday that doesn’t quite fit – a slipper one half size too small, a sock with an intrusive seam. Not that I don’t like the holiday – who could complain about turkey and mashed potatoes and dressing and cranberries and a day off work to spend time with family being thankful…
The 2013 Debutantes would like to wish all of our readers and their families a very happy Thanksgiving week. We are truly grateful for your readership and support. Congrats to Cheryl, winner of last week’s giveaway contest! From the 2013 Debs… Deb Kerry signed and mailed out a couple of galleys. First author signature ever, and it felt momentous. Deb Dana saw a mock-up of her full book jacket — front, back,…
Congratulations to Laura, winner of last week’s giveaway contest! From the 2013 Debs… Deb Kerry has received her very first ever blurb for BETWEEN from the ever-s0-talented Robin Owens. She’s also giving away an advanced reader copy in celebration of her brand new website. Deb Dana recreated a dish she had at a restaurant – without a recipe – and is feeling pretty smug about it. (Oh, and she received another…
Congrats to Phyllis Miller, winner of last week’s giveaway contest! This week, we’d like to take a moment to express our thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery to all those impacted by Hurricane Sandy. We encourage all of our readers – those living in hurricane-impacted regions as well as those outside them – to help with recovery in any way you can. Contact a shelter and find out what…
You likely all know by now that I’m Canadian, (eh) which means I had my Thanksgiving last month. So I’ve already been through the “I’m thankful for my family and friends and for where I live and my book deal and all my blessings, yadda, yadda, yadda” stuff. So I thought I’d do a little twist on the Things I’m Thankful for theme and give a shout out to the…
We have a saying around this house when we’re complaining about something inconsequential – “That’s a first-world problem.” There are people in this world who have a heck of a lot more to worry about – like access to clean water, twenty-plus years of civil war, the real threat of being sold into sexual slavery, bullying and abuse and simple survival. That doesn’t mean that there’s nothing in my life…
CONTEST WINNER! Congrats to Deb Sherlock who won Erin Blakemore’s The Heroine’s Bookshelf! From the 2011 Debs… Deb Kim is grinning from ear to ear having seen her book in a few stores now. It’s like seeing your baby on TV or something. I’m also grateful not to have embarrassed myself too badly at appearances and in interviews so far. NO rotten tomato stains on any of my clothes! Check…
