Yeah!!!
After many long attempts at creating a website on zero budget, not to mention five (5) hours on hold with a Yahoo representative in a call center galaxy far, far away--okay, it was another country, but it might as well be a different galaxy--I've finally put up a cryptic website for my first novel.
Please check it out and let me know what you think. I don't think it's bad for a technotard like myself; but I'm bipolar and manic today, so my self-esteem reflects a sense of grandeur.

Texas Giving Day is September 18th
There are several organizations that I plan to support on North Texas Giving Day. One is my daughter's High School--Life School Red Oak Secondary. The principal is asking for 25% of student body households to donate $25 this Thursday.
What is Texas Giving Day, you ask?
It is an Internet on-linethon where people and business can donate money to causes they believe in. Donations can be given from 6 am to midnight through the North Texas Giving Day Website. Best of all, donations are tax-deductible.
After last year's national record-crushing 75,000 donations totaling $25.2 million, North Texas Giving Day is back with the hope that North Texas will rise to the challenge and outdo itself once again. On September 18, 2014, donations can be made 6 a.m. to midnight to more than 1,600 certified nonprofits listed on the new website www.NorthTexasGivingDay.org . Donations $25 and above will be amplified by $2 million in bonus funds and prizes. In just five years, North Texas Giving Day has pumped more than $60 million into the North Texas community. In 2013, more than 75,000 gifts totaling $25.2 million, benefiting more than 1,350 nonprofits.
Once again, with every $25 donated to any North Texas not-for profit organizations, the organization(s) are eligible for bonus funds. Please consider going on-line and donating to Lucy's Charter School. Search Life School Red Oak Secondary for the donation link on the North Texas Giving Day Website.
Another organization I work with is the Cedar Hill Pet Memorial Project. In a little over three years, this organization has saved the cemetery from being demolished and created a War Dog Memorial. A lot is still needed to keep it's inhabitants safe and honor the commitment to the pet owners who buried their pets at the cemetery. I urge you to visit their website at: Cedar Hill Pet Cemetery .
Thank you to all my friends and family who are able to give. Any amount donated goes to the organization, so if $25 is too much any gift is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Joanna

Because community involvement is important to all local organizations, Cedar Hill Pet Memorial Project is teaming up with two other non-profit organizations under the name Kids Paws Unity, so by donating to one, you are donating to all.
Thank you to all my friends and family who are able to give. Any amount donated goes to the organization, so if $25 is too much any gift is appreciated.

Peep Show by Joshua Braff
I bought this book as a guide for a NA novel I'm writing. I thought with a title like Peep Show it would give me insight into the strip club world, since one of my characters becomes a stripper for a short period of time.
However, this kind of novel fell right into the area I most love: stories about family dysfunction and makes the reader think about why people do the things they do to the people they love. Despite the backdrop of the main character's father's occupation, the story stood on its own and each character became lovable in their own right. I especially loved the growth of the main character, David.
