It wasn't a stormy day, but the ocean waves were high and rough.

This was on the way down to the hike. And yet the weather held until we were home.
Mixed weather day #DailyGratitude

A great morning hike up Bishop's Peak with my friend Doug, then a rainy afternoon. What could be better than that? (Two photos.)
Book trailer for Barbara Amaya's "Nobody's Girl"
Catherine Ryan Hyde
Remember when Barbara Amaya was a guest on my blog and I interviewed her about "Nobody's Girl," her memoir about human trafficking?
Her publisher just created this book trailer, which has got to give you goose bumps.
Check it out. Share if so inclined.
Barbara is doing a lot to open people's eyes about all the "nobody's girls" out there, and I think she needs a good strong wind at her back to help her with her good work.
Goodreads giveaway of Ask Him Why
Catherine Ryan Hyde
Just a quick note to spread the word that my publisher, Lake Union, is conducting a 20-book giveaway for Ask Him Why on Goodreads. It's going on right now and will continue until the book's release on December 15th.
Good luck!
(PS: This giveaway is for the US market. Apologies to my readers in other places.)

California is getting a tall and much-needed drink of water!
How cool is this? #DailyGratitude
Catherine Ryan Hyde
This was given to me by a book group for meeting with them. It's a cake topper, but it's permanent. A little statue. Look like anybody (or four anybodys) you know?
Deal alert for authors
Catherine Ryan Hyde
For those of you among my readers who are also writers, you might be interested in this deal alert. How to be a Writer in the E-Age: A Self-Help guide is only 99 cents (as a Kindle ebook) for a limited time.
It's a book I wrote in collaboration with my friend Anne R. Allen, a much-respected author and publishing industry blogger. It's not exactly a "how to write" book. It's more of a "how to stay sane" book for writers.
We've gotten lots of great feedback on it. And a 99 cent sale is a great time to give it a try.
Please do share this news, if inclined, with other writers you know.
Happy writing!
Hiking with a friend (a human friend!) #DailyGratitude
Catherine Ryan Hyde
On Black Hill with my friend Doug, who used to be my best hiking buddy before two blown-out knees and an ankle replacement. Thought we might never do this again!
Sunday morning Cloud Painter #DailyGratitude

Perfect day for a trail ride.
