Well, until they give Fairfield, California a WNBA franchise (up for ice skating in hell, anyone?) and the Bedazzled Inksters replace the Sacramento Monarchs (sniff) in this part of world, Binkie is stuck with being a mascot for a publishing company.

So we decided to put Binkie to work and gave her a blog, called, duh, Binkie’s Blog. She promises to post almost every day so stop back often to find out what she has to talk about.

Food lovers! We have a special treat for you. What happens when someone raised in an Italian household becomes a vegetarian? Well, if you’re Roberta Roberti you write a cookbook.

Once a year Bedazzled Ink turns into the Bedazzled Book Peddler. We have a booth at the annual Xena Convention in Los Angeles and sell books. Our books and books published by other publishers. We love to support authors. Many thanks to Bella Distribution for their generous selection of books this year and thanks to all of you who stopped by to visit and to buy books.

Have you ever seen an author seeing her book in print for the first time? Jordan Falconer couldn’t stop smiling and saying “Wow” at the Xena Convention in LA. She was extremely happy but a bit overwhelmed with people buying her Knight Predator and wanting her to sign their copies.

We hope you’ve doubled up on your pirate insurance because Skulls & Crossbones: Tales of Women Pirates has set sail. For those who prefer to read on the cyber seas, the ebook has hoisted its sails at the Bedazzled Book Peddler.

From Viking battles of revenge and high sea betrayal, to modern-day piracy and space banditry, these twenty tales conjure up our inner pirate. Join the crews of women pirates who triumph in victory, face the gallows, and become unlikely heroes–women who follow the code of the Skull & Crossbones.

Ready for some bloodthirsty fun? Delve into the world of Carlisle Crowley, a striking, beautiful vampire hell-bent on living her undead life to the fullest in Knight Predator by Jordan Falconer.
