SquawkRadio

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For all the wonderful suggestions and thoughtful comments you made in the ALL EARS blog. We love you guys! Now, we’ve gone through the suggestions for Squawk Radio upgrades and here are the results. Please take a few seconds to fill it out.

But first, a few words about why the suggestions for research links and the like aren’t included in the poll. Fact is, we decided straight from the start that Squawk Radio couldn’t be a dedicated Writers Blog. Squawk Radio is primarily a Readers Blog, because while all readers aren’t writers, all writers are readers. Where am I going with this?

As far as research goes ... Right to the Squawkers’ Individual Websites!

Many of us have recommended research links and research books posted on our websites. Bonus! We all have excerpts, reviews, sometimes discussions of our entire backlists of books. There are several ways to get to the sites-- click on a Squawk Chick, on a Squawker’s name on the bar above or on the Press Tab. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of material we have out there!

Oh, yeah...and Kitty will be back next week! With an interview!

It’s been a while since we tapped the collective squawk imagination. So, let’s caption this sucker!

Also, we are having a MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. Beginning this Friday, the 3rd, through next Wednesday, the 8th, we will be giving away gifts, books, fun stuff and a FIFTY DOLLAR GIFTS CERTIFICATE to BARNES AND NOBLE’S BOOKSTORE. All you have to do to win, is make certain you are registered as a member of SQUAWK RADIO with a working email address. Once a day, we’ll post the name of the winner on the blog. Of course, this isn’t going to keep us from our usual babbling so you may have to scroll a bit to find the announcement. Once you spot your name, just contact any one of the squawkers with your snail mail address and we’ll shoot your prize right to you!

WHILE THE CAT IS AWAY, TERESA WILL PLAY!

Hey Connie is away from the computer for awhile and said we could add anything to her blog that we wanted to so I figured if we were going to be looking at men with big guns, why not look at Clive? CAPTION THIS, BABY!
