  The count down has begun and I'm so excited!

What am I talking about?  The upcoming Brenda Novak online charity auction to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  Brenda is a good friend and a wonderful writer, not to mention a terrific mother with a child that lives with diabetes.  May 1st will mark the beginning of her fourth annual online auction.  This year I have designed and hand-crafted a collection of eighteen special rosaries and jewellery pieces in support of the auction.  You can view them at my website, or go directly to the auction entries (for previewing).

Start saving those pennies, nickels, dimes, and more--May 1st will be here before you know it!

   
       
 
   
  Taming Technology ~   Many writers interact with their audience by way of the internet, starting to build name recognition long before they have sold their first book.  How do you make sure these early efforts to build your internet presence are not only in alignment with where your writing career is heading once you've sold, but that you don't inadvertently do damage to it?

Favorite Recipes ~
  With spring in the air and outdoor sports season about to kick-in, the kids are drinking more water (which is good) but less milk (which isn't so great).  This easy recipe for ham spread hides cottage cheese in the mix, helping the kids get the milk (and calcium) they need.

Ham Spread or Dip

~ 2/3 cup cottage cheese
~ 1 1/2 tbsp margarine
~ 6 oz boiled ham, ground
~ 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
~ 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard

Combine cottage cheese and margarine in a blender and process until smooth.  Add in ham, green onions, and mustard, and process until combined.

Can be used as a sandwich spread, on crackers, or as a vegetable dip.  Makes four servings.  160 calories per serving, 16 g protein, 9 g fat, 2 g carbohydrates.

   
           
 

Contest Corner ~

  If you haven't visited my website for a while, you should stop by.  I've got a special contest running for the months of April and May.  You could win this very special "wish" bracelet and earrings set.  Fashioned out of leopard skin agate, Swarovski garnet crystals, polished Hematite hearts, and silver accents, this "wish" bracelet sports a small charm box to hold your most precious wish.  Simply writer your desire on a small piece of paper, open the box and insert it, make a wish, and close up the box, keeping the dream alive and with you always.  Set includes matching earrings.  Be sure to visit soon!
