Exciting Times

Do you know what time it is? Sign up Time! Yes, today is the first day you can sign up for the 2014 A to Z Blogging Challenge. Hundreds of bloggers have posted at one time or another, describing all the benefits of participating in this annual challenge. I won't do that today because I try to make my posts short, and that subject would require a long, long post. By the time most of you read this, my name will be on that list.

I'm also thrilled to be a minion this April, serving the Ninja Captain himself, Alex J. Cavanaugh. I've been issued a special badge. How cool is that? I'm not sure of my minion duties yet, but I'm ready and excited. And thanks to Alex for mentioning my newest release on his blog. If you go there, make sure you read up on his 2K followers giveaway contest.

And that is the last of my exciting news. The Marine's Heiress is now available in an exclusive release sale. For only a few days, you can purchase it from their website for a 30%
discount. Recon Marine Vin takes his broken heart and shattered trust and dedicates his life toward vengeance. His final prey is within his grasp when the woman he's using as bait reminds him of his duty, his honor and dares him to risk his heart again. But the enemy Vin hunts has forces at his disposal more powerful than even a Recon Marine has faced before. Vin will need every skill his genetic superiority grants him to stop the violent events he set in motion.

Are you a past participant in A to Z and are you signing up this year? Do you want to be a minion also? Are you making plans for any blog challenges or hops in the coming weeks?

Thanks for being part of the Minion Ninja Army! Congratulations on the early release. Hope this book does even better than the first.

I'm not sure what a minion has to do, but I think I'd do it for Alex.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Congrats on your new book, Susan.

Sitting out the A to Z this year. Got too many big things happening in May.

Pat Hatt said...

Congrats on the new book and being a minion. A to Z is all done and ready to go at my sea.

Enjoy and good luck.

Jay Noel said...

Congrats on your release!!!

I'm signed up for A-Z (this will be my 3rd time). Now, just to figure out what I will do.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Thanks, Alex, my hope coincides with yours.
Fanny, you made me laugh.
Thanks, L. Diane, looking forward to hearing about your busy spring.
I knew you would be ready, Pat.
Thanks, Ivy.
My third time too, Jay.

HI, Susan,

CONGRATS all both levels! A new book is very exciting! ALL THE BEST!

I've done A-Z for the past three years, I just don't know if I have it in me for a fourth.

I loved it last year because my theme was such fun and I had helped so many blogger friends, but LIVING up to that success would be so hard and time consuming. We'll have to see.

I still may, but not sure yet.

How cool to be a minion. I know you'll do an awesome job!

Anstice Brown said...

Yay, I'm so excited for the A-Z challenge this year (although I have no idea what theme I'm going with yet). Congratz on being a minion!

Mark Koopmans said...

Aloha,

Congrats on your second book, Susan, and GOOD LUCK with your minion duties :)

This will probably be my third year signing up and NOT doing A-Z!

I never find the time to do the posts, so I won't sign up this time... unless I can figure out what I want to say :)

Bossy Betty said...

Love that you are a minion. Perhaps if you work hard you can become a filet minion! No A-Z for me this year, but I love to see what others do with it!

mshatch said...

I'm still on the fence about signing up but I'll be checking out everyone's posts :)

Cate Masters said...

Congrats on the release!

Have fun being a minion.

Ellie Garratt said...

I've found a minion. Yay! Congratulations on the release.

Robin said...

A minion. Oh boy. You are going to be a busy bee this April.

I am still deciding on my theme. I don't like to commit until I know FOR SURE. I participated last year for the first time. They call it a CHALLENGE for a reason...

Dana said...

I'm still trying to decide if I'll be able to participate in the A to Z. I'm due that month, so blogging might be difficult. If I can get my act together, I'll pre-write all of the posts. Either way, I'm hoping I'll be able to find the time. :)

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Dana! Best excuse ever!

I've done the A-Z for three years. This year will be a break year for me. Congrats to you though!!
