I will be posting more about this early in May. So start thinking of a story and wait for the day I say to post them. Okay?<\/p>\n<p>Finally  I will be giving away a MEGA basket of goodies and autographed books in  a drawing of all of those readers who have participated during May on my blog by either requesting a postcard or\u00a0 sending me a story or by leaving a comment or by doing all three!<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss this!
