I am spinning and loving it. Of course I do not mean spinning on those torture devices called stationary bikes. In fact the only exercise I'm getting lately is to my fingers as I type and to my jaw as I munch on snacks. I mean my mind is spinning, I'm fully engaged intellectually and emotionally promoting my novel Hidden in Paris (in case you were hiding under a rock, on planet Mars.) I've received tons of emails and comments of encouragement, and I'm starting to get reviews and they are all GOOD! (thank you mom). Many bloggers have accepted to trade advertisement buttons with me, which is also GOOD and you'll start seeing them in the margin.
I was particularly touched by a certain blogger, who who went out of her way for me, so let me tell you what she does. The blog is called Une Petite Folie and the author of the blog, Linda Carswell lives in Tasmania but travels A LOT and I'm astounded at the beauty of her photography. But forget telling you. Let me show you.
There other thing that she is passionate about are miniatures, so if you're into the mini lifestyle you really should bookmark her site because it's shock full of the most delicate miniature house she is creating, as well as mini rooms, mini furnitures, mini objects and even mini food.
On an embarrassing note: The first edition of the novel has typos in it. I knew it but I did not know where to find them. Now I do... ahem. Sorry guys, I'm fixing this. If you get a copy of Hidden in Paris riddled with as many as twenty typos you can feel special because you know you are in possession of a first edition, (in case i become famous or something--doubtful, but hey, looking for a silver lining to this.) I know some will crucify me for this but what can they do to my sense of shame that I haven't done to myself already :(
Need help with proofreading?

Good for you, Corinne!! Typos are so distressing but never fear, your heart and your story will overcome such niggling defects. :-)

I'm powering through A. Karenina - on part 6 of 8. It's good, but I'll be ready to leave Russia for France soon!
