Just got back from Mexico!

Here's what I learned about the Maya and an 8th Horcrux!

I'm giving away a copy of Across the Universe as part of a huge blog party. The contest ends April 1.

Girl VS Boy, What's Easier to write, http://lmpreston.blogspot.com/2011/03/girl-vs-boy-whats-easier-to-write.html

I posted over at the Interrobangs blog about covers, a rebuttal to Sean's Saturday post (scroll up in this thread for that one).

This isn't my blog but I thought it was worth linking to anyway here in order to spread awareness. A group of authors (including children's and YA authors) have got together to launch an auction to raise money for the victims of the Japanese earthquake. Items up for grabs include signed books, the chance to star in an exclusively written short story, critiques by award winning authors, artwork and other good stuff.

The link is here:

And there are tonnes of entries to scroll through so check it out because it's for a good cause.
