Gifts for Readers


Still looking for gifts? Well I’m still looking too but I do have three great recommendations. I also think Amazon has ways of getting these packages to you in time.

My twisted little story about Snow White called Mirror, Mirror miraculously found its way into this lovely anthology called Open Doors-Fractured Fairy Tales. While of course I like my story, wait until you read the other hilarious renditions of childhood favorites. I keeled over from laughing at the very adult tales told from the unique perspective of humor writers from all over the world. This is the book you need when you’re feeling down in the dumps and want to smile. If you know anyone home recuperating with a broken leg from a skiing accident or from simply too much holiday excess-- bring him or her a copy of this book and you’ll make their day or if they read slowly their week. On top of all the other good news is that once the publisher pays for printing and shipping the rest of the profit is going to a children’s hospital. 
                                  Click here for cool fairy tales:

Just this week, my non-fiction story about Fiona and how she changed my life appeared in Not Your Mother’s Book on Dogs. This is the perfect book for anyone who loves puppies, man’s best friend and all the fun they seem to bring into our lives. My story called Life is Good, will make you want to rescue a little dog too! If you’re a writer, this publisher is seeking submissions for other anthologies such as an upcoming one on home improvement. I recently ordered my copy of Not Your Mother’s Book on Dogs and I know many of you have friends who would enjoy these true stories about our four legged friends. So click right here and order some gifts today.
Any of you with iPhones and iPads might also want to check out Wit and Humor Magazine on iTunes. More laughs, cute little skits and clean jokes make for a real nice way to spend time while waiting for someone to return stuff at the mall. Look for that little red, yellow and green  button on the right:

  7. Hi Eve! I saw your comments on Pub Syndicate's facebook page, so I hopped over to see your blog...and I love it! I, too, have a story in the NYMB...On Dogs. I can't wait to receive the print copies I ordered! My story is "Rocky Loses by a TKO." That other anthology sounds fabulous, too. I never saw any call outs for that. Congrats on your publications! I'm your new blog follower!

  13. I ended up getting car wash stuff for my brother and an eco sphere. Only with the eco sphere, one shrimp has already died :( At least it's covered by a warranty.
