Party Time at Writer Off the Leash

Woo-hoo! It's my one year anniversary today. I started this blog exactly 365 days ago with a weekly following of zero and a daily page view of 2 (thanks Kelly & Ane). Today, however, I've got 37 faithful followers and average about 1200 hits a month. Nothing stellar compared to those in the blogging big leagues, but hey, I think it's a huge victory!

At first I worried about having enough material to write every weekday. You know what? Silly fear. It turns out there's always something to say, and when I lack for material, there's always a quote or fun writing site to recommend. So if you're thinking of starting a blog and have that fear gnawing at the back of your brain, kick it to the curb. You can do this thing!

And in honor of doing this thing, I'm sharing the fun and excitement with you, my faithful readers. I'll enter into a drawing the name of whoever leaves a comment from now until the end of October. On Nov. 1st, I'll draw the lucky winner. The lucky winner of what?

UNDERCURRENT, a timeless tale of honor and sacrifice.

Professor Cassie Larson leads a life her undergrad students hope to attain, until she tumbles into the North Sea and is sucked into a vortex...and a different century. Alarik, son of a Viking chieftain, is blamed for a murder he didn't commit--or did he? He can't remember. On the run, saving a half-drowned foreign woman wasn't in his plan. Ragnar is a converted pagan shunned by many but determined to prove his Cousin Alarik's innocence. He didn't count on falling in love with Cassie or the deadly presence of evil that threatens his village in Alarik's absence.
