October 24, 2017 By Christina E. Pilz

Recently at GRL, I gave away two gift bags to two attendees of GRL. Out of all the folks who signed up to enter, only two could win, which left many wondering what was in those gift bags! Since I had such a good time putting the gift bags together, and since the winners have […]

Update on FaceBook

July 2, 2017 By Christina E. Pilz

I’ve sold a few books, even without FaceBook, but I’d rather be doing it with them than without them, know what I mean? Today is the day that I changed the price, ’round the world, back to $4.99, or whatever your local equivalent is. So I’m sorry now that the sale is over; I had […]

Gold Stars and Book Covers

September 16, 2016 By Christina E. Pilz

When I worked out at the gym an awful lot, back in my college days, I used to give myself a gold star for every visit to the gym. My appointment book would glitter with gold when I flipped through it, and that was good thing. It let me know that I was doing the […]
