Argh!!! It's the birthday of French author Albert Camus, a Nobel Prize-winner who died in 1960 at the age of 46 in a car crash.
I was listening to a story about him on NPR this morning... well, actually, I tuned out half-way during the story (writer-brain!), but I caught a great quote before it was over.
It was all about Sisyphus, and Camu's essay on "The Myth of Sisyphus."
[Digression: I already knew about the myth from watching Party Girl, a movie that always reminds me of my great writer-friend (and former DJ) Matt "Rush" MacNish.]
Anyway, here's the quote:
Nice, huh?
Note: Camus didn't actually say that, the NPR commentator said it, but I still liked it. Just doing a little writerly sharing. (Y'all know I'm a former English teacher, after all.)
Now, what about this GIVEAWAY?
Want to win a copy of Watercolor???
Tiffany Talks Books is celebrating 5,000 "likes"; Go here and enter at **Prize Pack #19 (link)!
There are also TONS of other books up for grabs, so it's a whole kettle of fun!
As for the chance to #WIN, once again, I'm participating in The Romance Review's SUPERFUN Year-End Splash Party (link)!
More than 400 authors are involved (including moi), and you answer Q&A questions, then you get to play a cover-art memory-match game, and all of this is for a chance to Win Free Books!
Watch out, though. Those games are SO addictive.
If you have an insatiable appetite for PIRATES and romance with MYSTERY thrown in, than you are in for a great ride with the BANDITS series.
