I write from fabulous New Mexico…

…where I am doing research for the Harvey Girls series. The first thing I learned is that fans of Fred Harvey are called "Fred Heads." I don’t have the time served to qualify but I’ll proudly accept the title when I do.

Meanwhile, we finally have buy links for Isis4 in e, see above. I’ll be signing the first edition of the hardcover at the Poisoned Pen on January 25th. I hope to see you there and if not you can always watch on the PP’s livestream.

The Danamaniacs would like a word.

The Danamaniacs are back up and running again. You’ll find them on Facebook at Fan Page of Dana Stabenow (aka Danamaniacs). There are two screening questions they ask you to answer to confirm you truly are a fan. It only takes a minute and they look forward to adding you to the Group! 
N.B.: Please, please make sure you agree to the group rules. You will have one question related to Dana’s body of work and the second question is asking you to agree to the group rules. Both of these questions need to be filled out to be considered for membership. We want to be able to approve you so please reach out to an admin if you are having problems with the process.

Dana sez–The ‘maniacs get all the news first directly from me. As a bonus, in January they are going to run a contest for which there will be three prizes provided by me. No, none of them are books, c’mon, have more faith in my imagination than that. Join them here!

Lastly, click through the image above to donate to Storyknife, the retreat for women writers I founded (more info here). Donating now means your gift will be doubled, yes, dollar for dollar by a group of stalwart Friends of Storyknife.
Fundraising in an election year is always tough, and this year–whew.
Any amount is welcome and every amount is deductible.
Thank you all so much for your support!
