A Contest!

I am starting a monthly contest which will run for the remainder of the year.

One lucky fan will receive a free copy of the latest book, JAMES, for themselves or to give as a gift. Christmas is coming up - start planning now!

Those wishing to participate can send me an email at wolferock@earthlink.net and say Enter Me In The Contest or fill out a form at one of my book signings. Winner will be drawn at random by the third of the following month.

Giving the gift of reading is a wonderful present for Christmas! I am already participating in TeensReadToo.com's 31 Days of Christmas with a gift basket - be sure to check out their website for details!

Passion

The whole world knows about the death of Steve Irwin and how tragic the loss. He was one of a kind and should never be forgotten - especially his passion.

Steve was passionate for animals, wildlife and conservation, and died while pursuing that passion. And although he may be gone now, we can all learn something from his dedication to a dream. Whether you liked him or not, there was no doubting his enthusiasm for animals. He was a soul on fire and thanks to Animal Planet, everyone got to see him burn!

How unique was Steve? Let's put it this way - how many people do you know that are willing to die for their passion? How many people out there are so fired up about their dream they appear almost fanatical?

Sad thing is ... not many.

Most people don't even have something they believe in that strongly. And that's the greatest shame, for to truly feel alive, one must have a passion, a vision, they are willing to pursue to the very end.

The alternative? Mere existance.

What's YOUR passion?

Dedication & Someone Special

The only thing Book IV, MIKE, lacks is the dedication. I am still considering several options.

But I did manage to include a special dedication of sorts for one of my fans. I named a character after her!

Stephany and her family have been such huge fans since Book I and always have words of encouragement for me. She is such an incredibly sweet long lady, and so mature, responsible & smart, too!

So thanks so much, Stephany! You are officially one of MIKE's friends now!!!

On the road ...

This weekend's appearances are in Greensboro, at two of my favorite stores - Waldens and Borders! The managers & employees there are truly awesome. Every place I go, the staff is great!

I always expect that! I'm optimistic enough to believe strangers are friends you simply haven't met yet. And I enjoy meeting them all!

Looking forward to the Southern Fall Tour!

And have added another date.

Hope to see everyone somewhere along the way!
