GREETINGS FROM BILLIE WILLIAMS

SEASON’S GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOURS!

I would like to invite you to take a peek at what reviewers are all talking about. If you have an avid reader on your gift list, or if you want to give yourself that special something this year, please go to www.billiewilliams.com, click on the Books link and browse away. You’ll find mystery, suspense, young adult historical adventure, romantic suspense and more

Or go to www.lulu.com/Billie and have a look see at what’s available from me there. From cook books, to poetry, essays, booklets about writing and more, I’m sure you’ll find something that will fit your pocketbook/wallet and most everyone on your gift list.

If your taste is more to the spice and sizzle of a good romantic suspense go to http://loganwblue.tripod.com or http://cricketsawyer.tripod.com where Logan Blue and Cricket Sawyer have a selection of hot romance with suspenseful twists that like to heat up your winter evenings.

If you have a writer on your gift list, or if you are an aspiring writer yourself, try Writing Wide, Exercises in Creative Writing (available from www.filbertpublishing.com or your favorite bookstore- online on bricks and mortar) or the Wide Spaces Brochure available at LuLu.com ( www.lulu.com/content/494067 ) I’m sure they will be pleased.

And as a special pre-Christmas bonus to you all—I will give you a special gift when you let me know what you have purchased. I have several e-booklets that I will give you a choice from when you do. If you purchase three books and let me know (yes, I believe in the honor system) I will send you an autographed bookplate for each of the three books to make it a very special gift and a key chain if one of them is Skull Music or Watch For The Raven (www.wings-press.com ) or Purple Haze ( an electronic book)
( http://www.triskelionpublishing.com) If you like shape shifters take a peak at Angeni over at www.silksvault.com or any of Cricket’s other titles there.
