WELCOME TO MY BOOKSHELF
JUNE 19, 2020- SIXTEEN YEARS OF BOOKCROSSING !!
Here's the latest. Interview about 3/4 down
A promotion on my book that includes an interview. I'm posting this really to share the interview. Just scroll through the main post. The interview is after the reviews and bio. Enter the giveaway if you open this between July 20 and July 26
Mi Amore on Every Day Fiction One of my published flash fictions pieces.
If you want to check out a dance videos from a ballroom comp.: A crazy QuickStep show number. Not happy with the beginning, but it smooths out as we got into in. My instructor is Matt Keller of DreamDance
This is a great flash fiction web site, started by a Bookcrosser. This was one of my earliest submissions, based on a scene from my soon-to-be-available novel, Dancing Between the Beats. Search for one entitled, Mr. Machismo.
STATS
This is my favorite wild release ; it just keeps traveling and this one
I've lost count, and so has BookCrossing, of the number of booksI've mailed out as RABCKS or as part of a Trade; my controlled-release stats above are not correct.
Here's where they went:
USA: (38 states as of August 2013)
AZ AL CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IA IL KS KY LA AR MD MI MN MO NC NE NH NJ NM NV NY OH OR PA RI SC TX VA WA WI WV PR DE
UK : England, Scotland
Canada : Ontario, Vancouver, New Brunswick, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec
And, as far away as ... Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands, France, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Argentina, Australia, Iran, New Zealand, China, Germany, Italy, SriLanka, Brazil, Finland, Uganda, India, Philippines
Books, BookCrossing & Me:
So what is it about BookCrossing I enjoy so much? There are so many bits and pieces:
I love the book club aspect of book rings, the altruistic facet of wild releases, the sharing part of RABCKS and trades, and of course the community feeling of the forums. I've made many online friends and I've been lucky to meet several of them in person. BookCrossing was my first introduction to "social media." I keep in touch with many BC friends now on Facebook.
Also, one of the joys of BookCrossing has been the discovery of new authors and book titles I might have otherwise left untried.
