Today is the day

That I am taking part in the event at Coffee Time Romance. You can ask me questions, and enter a competition. Later on I will be posting up excerpts of my stories and of course answering those questions!

You could win yourself one of my ebooks and a pack of four encaustic cards so do come over and say hi!

Then whilst you are there check out all the other fabulous authors and stay for coffee (or hot drink of your choice available at your own house/work etc...)

Bring in the year with books

Today marks the starts of the month long even over at Coffee Time Romance & More. There is a mass of authors involved and lots of prizes to be won so do check it out!

As for my day which is the 14th January there will be a competition in which you can win a back copy of one of my ebooks and some of my cards that I make. So keep watching!

Yearly roundup

To know how much I write and have sent out I keep records. Of more or less everything I might add - even things I don't think I will ever need again.

Since I am always so nosy about how much other people write and submit throughout the year I thought I'd show you my 2010 stats. These are the stats only for Nicole Gestalt and not any of my other pen-names so it may look a little small compared to others.

Over all its been a good year in terms of words written just maybe not so good in terms of stories sent out. The good news however is I have a large amount of stories all ready to be edited and submitted so keep an eye out!

A new year a new look

Happy New Year everyone!

Here's to hoping 2011 will be as interesting as 2010.

To fit in with the start of the new year I thought a totally different look was in order for the blog. Now it might not stay like this but I rather enjoyed the wild rugged look of the picture in the background so here it is for a while.

Please do tell me what you think of it and also let me know of any posts or extras you would like to see this blog is you the readers blog as much as it is mine.
