Hi everyone!
Thanks to all those who participated in the Survive and Thrive blogfest. It was so informative. The message was clearly to take charge of your health. Thanks to all of you who kindly commented on my melanoma tussles. I go in for further surgery on Tuesday.

Sure, it's time for the WEP Ghost Story challenge in a few days, but today and for the next couple of days, Joy Campbell is hoggin' my blog.
Joy's on a blog tour to tell us all about her stories set in the Caribbean. Those of you who've read one or more of Joy's books know that she's a great writer, one I highly recommend.
So, Joy, over to you!
Taming Celeste
Thanks so much for stopping in to visit. The Island Adventure Romance
series covers the adventures of various characters in fast-paced stories set in
the Caribbean.
Taming Celeste captures the
journey of a feisty female character who accidentally gets involved in software
piracy, murder and kidnapping. Readers first meet Celeste in Chasing Anya and
for many, she will not be the most likeable person.
She comes into her own as her story unfolds and she faces tough personal
challenges to do with her choices. The book explores what happens when people
do things for the wrong reason and the repercussions that follow.
If you want a no-risk taste of the start of this series, Anya’s Wish is my gift to you.
This free download is accessible here. I hope you enjoy
the introduction to a set of characters whose lives intertwine in different
stories.
Over the period of the tour (October 20-31), the prices of all the books
in this series will be discounted to 0.99. Also, you may enter on the
Rafflecopter to win a ten dollar ($10.00) Amazon voucher or an e-copy of the
entire collection, which includes Chasing Anya, Contraband and Taming Celeste. You may enter on
the Rafflecopter here.
The Island Adventure Romance series has been described as compelling and
well-written, with vibrant characters.
J.L. Campbell lives in Jamaica and
writes romantic suspense, women's fiction and young adult novels. She also
writes non-fiction and is a certified editor. Visit her on the web at http://www.joylcampbell.com or at her Amazon page. She's enjoys good

Interesting to write a book about a possibly unlikeable character.
Software piracy! Very cool.
Alex is right. Such an up to the minute premise Joy. I hope your tour is going well. :)
Hi, Denise,
Something told me to pop over. It's Sunday night here, but already Monday on your side of the world. :)
Thanks sooooo much for hosting me, Denise.
Thanks, Denise. Everything has been going well so far. Not sure if I commented on your Survive & Thrive post but I did read it. I hope things go well when you go in on Tuesday.
The paranormal hop reminds me of something I wrote for one of your hops. It's a paranormal story that can be developed into something bigger. So many books, so little time.
Ha sorry Joy. I thought Jamaica was closer in time to Brisbane. Monday is half gone here...:)
Hi Denise and Joy - that's great I'll be over to get my copy ... the software idea sounds interesting ...
The Survive and Thrive blog hop was a great idea ... so many health challenges mentioned and touched on to make us aware ...
Cheers Hilary
Congrats, Joy! What an interesting setting.
And no, I'm not doing NaNo. Not enough time to commit.
Congrats to Joy! Very interesting characters.
Sorry Denise, did not catch your survive and thrive post when it was on...but you know why. wishing you the best for Tuesday. You're in my prayers.
Those unlikeable characters tend to be the most interesting though. Congrats, Joy!
Hi,Hilary,
Thanks. I thought the software angle was different too.
The blogfest made me aware of health issues that I hadn't thought about before.
Thanks for dropping in, Natalie.The setting in my novels becomes another character and that has become habitual.
Some nice blog hogging today! Congrats to Joy. Did you see Hilary's complete list of topics the Survive and Thrive Hop covered? Very impressive. Glad I joined. Enjoyed reading yours a lot.
There all kinds of people in the world and fiction should portray that. We can't only write about nice people. Congrats Joy and go Celeste!
Thanks, Adura.
True that, Diane.
Thanks, Lee!
So true, Sheena. Thanks for stopping in.
I very much like the premise of this one!
The software piracy angle also captured my imagination! And I'm looking forward to reading about Celeste's waspish ways!
Hi Denise.
I hope the surgery went well!
Sending you positive vibes all the way across the blogosphere----WHOOSH----
(((UBUNTU HUGS)))
It was a fun story to write, Holly. Two difficult characters and a frightening situation.
Celeste - one of the feistiest characters I've written to date. She has her struggles because of her history. Life around her is full of excitement though.
Thanks for telling me Clem. I visited Hilary and saw it.
Denise, thanks ever so much for hosting me!
You're welcome Joy.
