During the RWA Annual Conference back in July, I attended several publishers' signings. I asked the authors to sign books as "Thanks for your service." I have donated these books (plus books from other conferences) to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to distribute to the staff, patients, and families.

For November, I continue to giveaway RWA swag to four randomly selected winners from all the comments posted. Plus a bonus prize - a leather bookmark for each winner from one of Scotland's castles in honor of St. Andrew's Day on November 30. To enter the giveaway,
1. Do you have any family or friends who are veterans? I know I have asked this question several times, but we can never thank them enough times.
2. Comments are open through Thursday, November 30, 10 pm in Baltimore.
3. I'll post the winner on Friday, December 1.
