The winner from yesterday's giveaways is SHANNON MCKELDEN, my release day twin! Shannon is the the author of VENUS ENVY, which I read (and loved!) when it came out last year. Shannon is also one of the nicest, sweetest people EVER and her sense of humor comes across very obviously in VENUS ENVY. She is also another person who names her books THEN writes the story. Go Shannon! Check out the brand new packaging here.
Moving onto today's anecdote + giveaway....
On the second day of cruising, DH and I landed in Labadee, Haiti. We spent the better part of the morning chilling on the beach and catching some sun. Then we boarded a boat and went out to the coral reefs to do some snorkeling. We saw sea urchins, sand dollars and fish. Amazingly clear Caribbean waters. Haiti is probably the most beautiful place I've been to in terms of natural beauty. (Don't worry, Paris! You still have my heart....I said natural beauty!)
After we re-boarded the ship after our afternoon of fun in the sun, we got all dressed up and had drinks at the swanky Boleros Latino bar. After coming back into the room at night, I had an unexpected guest: Towel Bat!
Today's giveaway is one full manuscript critique from yours truly. I recently attended Donald Maas's THE FIRE IN FICTION workshop which had made me MUCH better at critiquing manuscripts.
To win this, simply answer the following question: What is the national language of Haiti? (Nope, this time the answer is not in the posting!)
Thanks for playing and see you tomorrow!

I thought of you while you were sunning in the Caribbean and I was freezing my you-know-what off here at home. Glad you had a good time.
I'm off to the bookstore to buy How To Salsa In a Sari!
