I am pleased to say that I am a participating author in Operation E-Book Drop.Servicemen
and women of our Coalition Forces are away from home and putting
themselves on the line for the rest of us. No matter what your
political beliefs are, most of us agree that we need to support our men
and women as we pray for their safe return. What is Operation E-Book Drop?
Author Ed Patterson
had an online conversation with a soldier stationed in Iraq who was
having difficulty getting books to read on his Kindle - there isn't a
whole lot to do for entertainment there. Ed sent the soldier a complete
file of his books in Kindle format - and then the idea struck him that
there might be other soldiers and other authors who would want to
participate. Sure enough, lists started to form and books were being
sent over the internet in various e-book formats.
Then the wonderful staff at Smashwords
found out about this effort and decided to promote the program -
Smashwords authors can use special coupon codes to send the members of
the Coalition Forces so they can download books to their reading
devices. Since Smashwords
offers books in several ebook formats (including Kindle, Palm, .pdf and
more), books are readable on all reading devices and even with a web
browser.
Kimberlee at Vanilla Heart Publishing made sure that any VHP authors who wanted had the proper coupon codes to send...
I
signed up - it is a small service I can do for the men and women who
are doing for us. I hope my books will give the soldiers a bit of a
reprieve from reality.
https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/chellecordero to get involved... http://bit.ly/2yIiRk***** Vanilla Heart Publishing and Chelle Cordero will donate $1 per copy of Bartlett’s Rule (any format) sold through midnight October 31, 2009 to The National Domestic Violence Hotline, to further their amazing work.

We are in a quandary – Vanilla Heart Publishing likes my next manuscript, but we can’t decide on a name.

So please, help us to decide: About the book…Dennis

men are rich and powerful and either could afford to take her son away
from her. One man is merciless, authoritarian and she fears him – the
other is demanding, determined and sexy as hell. What happens when the
two men have to face off against each other? Which one will win her
love and which one will win her son?Layne
never met Justin until he showed up on her doorstep to claim his son,
the same son she ran away with when she was pregnant to keep him from
her husband, Charles. So is it a common bond they share, or is it a
tale of tangled hearts? Or maybe you have another suggestion…Send your suggestions to me at ChelleCordero@gmail.com
and put your title choice in the subject line; be sure to put your name
and mailing address into the body of the email because you just might

and Chelle Cordero will donate $1 per copy of Bartlett’s Rule sold from
midnight October 18, 2009 through midnight October 31, 2009 to The National Domestic Violence Hotline, to further their amazing work.Why Bartlett’s Rule?
Reviewed by BobiWhen
Paige and Lon met it was purely for business but it wasn't long before
their hearts took control. Paige's past comes back to haunt them and
they soon come to realize that the devastating effects of rape and
abuse extend beyond time and place to impact more than the primary
victim herself. Lon has to grapple with his own intense anger and hurt
over Paige's assault. He also has to overcome mis-perceptions of his
personal character while building a foundation of trust between himself
and Paige. Ms. Cordero skillfully tackles this topic as she
poignantly tells the story of their journey to heal and develop a
relationship based on strong reliance. Bartlett's Rule is more than a love story; it relates a valuable lesson for both men and women. *The
inclusion of links and/or information about National Domestic Violence
Hotline constitutes no endorsement from said organization.

The scent of freshness
A new Publix supermarket opened in Hudson , Florida . It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the distant sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh cut hay. In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks and brats.
In the liquor department, the smell of fresh tapped Miller Lite.
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread & cookies. I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.

My apologies, I can't resist - I just got this email:
1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
4. A dyslexic man walked into a bra.
5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
7. "Doc, I can't
stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home." "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" "Well, It's Not Unusual."
8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true; no bull!" exclaims
Daisy.
9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.
10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
11. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I couldn't find any.
12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know, I amputated your arms!"
13. I went to a seafood disco last week... And pulled a mussel.
14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says, "Dam!"
16.
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the
craft. Not surprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have
your kayak and heat it too.
17.
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in
the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an
hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said. "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
18.
A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to
a family in Egypt , and is named 'Ahmal.' The other goes to a family in
Spain , they name
him 'Juan.' Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth
mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she
wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're
twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
19. Mahatma Gandhi,
as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an
impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which
made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad
breath. This made him...... A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by
halitosis.
20. A dwarf, who was a mystic, escaped from jail. The call went out that there was a small medium at large.
21.
And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to her
friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them
laugh. No pun in ten did.
