The Case of How to Add Sizzle to Your Summer

Who's turning up the heat this month? Imajin Books, publisher of A Purse To Die For featuring moi, because it's throwing a contest AND a sale AND a party and you are very, very welcome to join in!

The contest has everything to do with sharing about Imajin books and Imajin events to receive entries into a draw for a Kindle Fire HD with Wi-Fi. There will also be runner-up prizes of $20 gift cards for Amazon or Kobo books. Enter daily for more chances to win!

The sale slashes the price of Imajin e-books so they're ALL either $0.99 or $1.99. Yay!

The party happens August 9/10. Imajin authors of suspense, mystery, romance etc.—including A Purse to Die For's Cynthia St-Pierre—will drop in and chat with readers, plus there will be random giveaways of e-books and Amazon and Kobo gift cards.

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how.

Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi.
