Celebrate The Small Things 10-1-14 and giveaway!
This post is part of VikLit's blog hop, Celebrate the Small Things. Head on over there to join up!
So, what am I celebrating this week?
Right now, I'm celebrating not being at work. The weather has been really bad for the last couple of weeks, and with it being the holiday season, the cinema has been stupidly busy. Ridiculously busy. I've had one day off since Christmas Day and we've had over 500 people into the movies every day. Plus a whole lot more coming to the cafe... You'd better believe I'm exhausted. Not to mention very behind on all the office work I should have done.
My kids are going away tomorrow, so my partner and I have 2 weeks on our own. It's going to be really weird!
I took part in the #PitMad Twitter pitch party yesterday and got three requests for STUMPED and one request for The Sidewalk's Regrets. I was pretty thrilled about that.
I have a couple of copies of my book, An Unstill Life, to give away. If you would like a copy on any e-book format, leave a comment with your email addy and I'll pick two winners at random....
What are you celebrating this week?

Requests are awesome! Good for you. I'd love a full day with no kids. Enjoy your peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteBeing off work is always good, unless writing is your work. I could handle doing that.

Oh, Kate, that's awesome! And I'd love a copy of your book. Funny, I was on someone else's site the other day. They were highlighting you, and I noticed your profile pic and almost died laughing. Love it! salarsen71 (at) gmail (dot) com
