Gearing Up & Blog Updates

I'm gearing up, and starting to get geeked, for Fortune Hunter's release on Monday. 

Stop on by Stumbling Over Chaos to throw your name in the hat to win a copy of Brook Street: Fortune Hunter. Click HERE to enter. Contest open until 7pm CDT on 4/6, so only 2 days left. And the winner will get a copy of the book before release day :)

Fortune Hunter is also the featured excerpt on Carina Press's Facebook page for the next week and a half. You can download the first 20% of the book. Click HERE to check it out. Note - the link will prompt you to log into Facebook first, in order to download the excerpt. 

Um...what else is new? I've been messing with the blog settings a bit. There have been a few posts around the interwebz lately about blog settings & commenting that got me thinking about it. I disabled the stupid wordverification thing - my apologies to everyone who's had to endure it in the past in order to comment. I had no idea it was enabled, but now it's disabled. I do hate word-veri/captcha, especially since blogger 'updated' theirs and made it next to impossible to decode. I also took off the 'adult' warning thing - figured since I'm not flashing peen pics around the blog that I didn't really need it. Not that I have anything against peen pics...  Anyway, if anyone has any other helpful suggestions for blog setting, feel free to offer them up. I'm always on the lookout for new things to tweak, 'cause, you know, I like to tweak things. 

So that's about all for me for now. Hope everyone's been having a great week!

    1. You must have some serious captcha skills if you're better at the new ones from blogger! Takes me like 3 or 4 tries to get those right. The mixing of lower and upper case letters makes them very grrrr.

    2. It's my freaky pattern-matching skill. :)

  2. I don't have a Facebook account... mmm... ah well, I just have to wait until I win Fortune Hunter at Chris' blog. *g*

    I'm glad you took off the 'adult' warning as well as the captcha thing. The less steps the better imo. (although I'm starting to get better at captcha the more I do it, lol, but still.)
