I’ve been a moongazer all my life. Yes, even when I thought it was made of green cheese. That’s what led me to write my 2008 novel, Man in the Moon. That book was so much fun to write, especially my choice of breaking the chapters into phases of the moon. It makes me sad that Delacorte didn’t indicate the paranormal aspects in their rather blasé jacket blurb. When is the moon not magical?
OK, why am I telling you all this? Because I was doing a bit of cleaning up and found an unopened box filled with copies. And since books are meant to be shared, I’m offering 3 free autographed copies to my faithful followers. Just tell me in the comment section your thoughts, experiences, romances, etc., that somehow involved the moon. I’ll send copies to the 3 I think really shine. And be sure to leave a contact email address so I can notify you.

Hi Dottie,
The moon is symbolic to me of our interconnectedness. I remember a time when I was feeling very "separate" and had a call with a friend in vancouver. He told me to go outside and look at the moon - the very moon that we all look at. We all share the moon, we share the sun, we share the earth and all the same feelings. We are one although it doesn't always feel that way.
You are absolutely right - the moon is always magical. Best Tamara Email: [email protected]
Love it!
Exhausted, aching and content all at once. Pacing slowly round and around the living room, rocking and swaying a tiny, squirmy days-old newborn baby in my arms, hoping to unlock the secret that will lull him to sleep as only the warm golden moonglow lights our way.

Hi Dottie,
My astrological sign is Cancer so the moon is EXTREMELY connected to almost every aspect of my life. It is even the cornerstone of one of my stories...Lunadar...you can read a teaser here..http://donasdays.blogspot.com/2012/03/homeward-bound.html
I'm not called a moon child for nothing...;0)...just see how magical MY moon can be!

That's wonderfully poetic.
Donna, I left a comment on your blog. I'm absolutely blown away by the visuals your create in that story. Please let me know if you write more!
Thank you, Dottie...I am honored that you enjoyed my introduction to Lunadar. I will rotate Lunadar with three other stories (Lacey's Bridge/YA suspense, The Calm Before The Storm/YA mystery, and The Warriors Three/MG adventure) on Fridays on my blog. I've already posted my first installments of the other three on my blog over the past week or so and they received nice comments from my followers, so I will continue to tease and entertain them with more installments...;0)
Here are the links to the other installments I have posted so far about Lunadar:

I really hope I copied all of those correctly...I'm crossing my fingers.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

So many, many years ago, before my husband and I were married, we were having a romantic moment. I glanced out the window and said, "May, that is the brightest moon I have ever seen!" Dave looked out and said, "Honey, that's a streetlamp." Yup. True story. (Blushing here.)

Haha!!! Rosi, that made my night!
My husband and I, when we were merely dating at the time, took a self-imposed photograph of the two of us together because there was no one else to, during our first trip together to Montreal. This was at a time before digital cameras. But, voila! The picture turned out exceptionally well, our faces close together and clear. My smile was so wide and my face round and fair that I was dubbed quite affectionately by my husband, "Luna." The photograph is still referred to as the "La Luna picture."

Zara, I love that!
Love a full moon. On the full moon my husband buries three found coins (must be found heads up) in green water sealed in a jar with green wax for three days. Then he digs it up puts the green water in a spray bottle and squirts it around the house and his desk for good luck and wealth. We are doing okay, so who am I to argue, but the kids cringe every time he approaches them with that green squirt bottle.
Haha! Suzanne, that's amazing! Just remind them what could happen if they don't get squirted. :)
