I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving holiday. We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in England, but I never turn down the chance to join in a celebration! 
So, to spin the fun out a bit longer, I’m going to run a giveaway today.
I’d like to give thanks for my writing career, and all the wonderful people I’ve met along the way, including the Berkley Babes here. Friendship across the miles means such a lot.
Leave me a message in the comments and you’ll have a chance to win a copy of SUGAR AND SPICE, an anthology of erotic short stories published in 1997. This is where I started out! My first paid publication is in this book, which is also the very first Black Lace short story anthology “by women for women.” The book is long since out of print and hard to come by these days. This is my last spare copy! Help me celebrate 10 years of writing by leaving me a message, and have your chance to win.
I’ll pick a winner at 10pm GMT time, 5pm EST.
UPDATE: Many thanks for all your messages and your interest in the book. I wish I could give you all a copy! I got my Real Life Hero to pick a number between 1 and 11. Congratulations to number 2, Tammy G, who wins the book. Mail me: saskiawalker @ gmail . com (with no gaps) with your postal address. Thanks again, everyone!
Fun fun! I hope I win.

Many thanks for all your messages! It feels as if the first ten years have just been about getting ready for this writing business.
