My Facebook account

For reasons unknown to me, my Facebook account has been deleted. My Chimeras page is still there, but I can no longer post on it. It's linked to this blog, so this is my attempt to see that hopefully this post will get there to let you all know that if I don't reply to your comments and messages is simply because I'm currently unable to. I hope to get the issue resolved soon.

Thanks for your patience!!!

Lots of good reasons to sign up for my newsletter

... if you haven't signed up already, that is. :-)

I've been working hard on the second book in my dystopian series the Mayake Chronicles and I'll have some really cool news for my subscribers soon. Here's some really good reasons why you should sign up:

• ARC copies of the Mayake Chronicles Book Two are coming soon!! And you wouldn't want to miss an ARC copy, right?
• In the meantime, the audio edition for my detective thriller Mosaics has been completed and is awaiting approval from Audible.com. Just like with Chimeras, I will have free review copies and I will give them away randomly to some lucky subscribers. 
• Finally, the title for Mayake Chronicles Book Two is not set in stone yet. I'm undecided between 3 choices and I need your help. I will send the options to my subscribers and ask people to vote. And I will gift a signed paper copy of book 2 to a randomly chosen reader among all the voters. 
• Oh, and of course, you get a free story when you sign up. :-)
• I don't spam and only send sporadic updates when I'm about to release a new book, which, as you've seen, doesn't happen more than 2-3 times a year. 

Are you ready, then? Here's the link. 

See you soon in your inbox. :-)

2015 Full Moons

At the beginning of the year I made a resolution of shooting all full moonrises of the year. The resolution lasted until June, and after that we had some lovely and much needed summer storms, so I'm not complaining. I'm hoping to resume this month, now that monsoon season is ebbing off.

Here are my favorite moonrise shots so far.

In my effort to catch up on posting pictures from this summer, here are some amazing wildflowers I found in Colorado. Feel free to ID them in the comments. :-) All pictures are © Elena E. Giorgi. Prints can be purchased here or here.

Pictures from this summer

I haven't posted many pictures lately, but this summer I got a few shots I'm really proud of. Here they are, I hope you will enjoy them.
