A blood drive for Children's Hospital Los Angeles is taking place conveniently here in Pasadena from 7:30am to 1:30pm today. You can find the CHLA Blood Mobile at the Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E. Green Street, right behind the Paseo. CHLA needs 1,000 units of blood every month. Take lunch early and be a hero!
And,
A short story of mine, called Portraits, will be published in April of 2013 in a collection called Literary Pasadena: The Fiction Edition. I'm honored to be part of this Prospect Park Books collection, along with local star authors like Michelle Huneven, Victoria Patterson and Jervey Tervalon. Michelle will contribute the introduction, Victoria was a guest author here on PDP, and I met Jervey once at a party! I'm in excellent company.
And!
My very short story, Belinda's Birthday, is now an audiobook (voiced by me), available on Amazon for 89 cents. Because it's an MP3 download it's listed under Music. You can click on my little ad at the upper left or just click the link right here. I'll be interested in your honest feedback and, if you're so inclined, your Amazon reviews.
We have two entries awaiting your judgement in the Camelot Where You Are photo contest. I'm holding onto them until I get a couple more, for competition's sake. It's your turn! (Details are here).
Have a great weekend!

Ooooh, what a treat for the weekend.
As soon as I'm back from work I'll download Belinda and listen to your dulcet tones.
Great announcements! Congrats on all your news. I can't wait to listen to Belinda. Also, my dad used to sing that Announcements song to me. Little trip down memory lane (stuck in my head for the day).
Exciting!!!!! And, I am excited for YOU.
Thank you, Dive! I hope I don't give you too many flat A's.
Oops. Sorry, Adele. It's stuck in my head now, too, and I wish I hadn't thought of it!
Thank you, LOL! I thought I'd just throw it all out there at once.
Can't wait to hear the audiobook - such good value. But what's an MP3? ....I'm showing my age.
Bellis, I'm not techie but basically it's the sound file you download to your iPod or computer when you download a song.

I'm gonna collect all the literary license plates on a new site: CrashWords.com
This is all wonderful news, Petrea - congratulations!! Have a relaxing and (hopefully) celebratory weekend:)
Too late, JS, that's already somebody's blog. A writerguy, who unfortunately is having trouble finding time to write. I feel his pain.
Thanks, Lulu! We plan on a day off tomorrow.
Dammit!

Looks like I'll just have to re-read the text version and imagine it in Ryoko's voice, Petrea.
Well, thank you for trying, Dive. Bummer! I was expecting to make a killing in international sales!
Poor Dive. We have all this wonderful new technology and, as usual, corporations put restrictions on it.
Great number plate. Did you find it outside a library?
Will you have a competition to win copies of "Portraits"? I know where to find lots of those.
Bellis, you stumped me! I couldn't remember where I took it, so I searched my photos for other shots taken the same day. My best guess is the parking lot at Descanso Gardens.
As for a contest for "Portraits," it's only part of a larger collection that's not mine to give away. We shall see. Where will you find lots of those?
Congrats on your announcements! Looking forward to "hearing your voice". :-)
I was going to go to the Huntington Library, and then maybe the Norton Simon Museum. We have two of the best art galleries in the world right here in Pasadena.
Thank you, Ms. M!
Ha! Bellis, you got me.
