Don't get me wrong--I love winter (as long as I don't need to drive on dangerous roads), and summer can be lovely (unless it's hot without a breeze...or buggy), and autumn is often my favorite season (so beautiful and dramatic), but spring wakes me up. I want to do ALL. THE. THINGS.

I want to dig around in my gardens, spend time laughing at bouncing lambs, cleaning, cooking, crafting, discover snippets of spring sunlight to sit and read in, and find inspiration.

I want to write and revise and grow as an artist.

And this spring there are contests I'm running as I prepare for the release of my newest book, Neither Sword Nor Fire. Have you entered the first contest for a $25 B&N card? Info's in my newsletter and on my blog (and Rafflecopter).

Go, have fun, and enjoy the rejuvenation spring brings!
