I had a blast at the Louisiana Book Festival this weekend and wanted to be sure that I could give back to the festival, so here's the deal. For every Kindle copy of my book sold through November 29th, $1 will be donated to the Louisiana Library Foundation. And remember: Carpe the Buffet!!

You say "potato", I say "Homicide"

Slight error in headline:
Headline read "Stolen groceries" instead of "Homicide" ... yeah, that's an understandable mistake.

I'll be the featured speaker tomorrow at the 2011 Women's Conference in Baton Rouge.

The funny part of this? I don't have a voice right now. Throat is swollen and sore from allergies, so I've restructured this into an "audience participation" event.

Thank you to the great folks at Alexandria Sr. High who allowed me to speak at their Honor Roll Breakfast this morning. It was such a kick and I met some great and smart kids. Guess I'll meet them again when I apply to them for a job someday!
