When it's time for grandma duty, everything else takes the backseat.
I write best in the morning; it's when I feel the most creative. There's something about the freshness of a new day that helps my mind get to the place it needs to be in order to write. Well, that and two mugs of a dark roast.
But I needed to watch the girls for a few hours yesterday morning so I put my 1,000-word daily goal on hold until the afternoon and headed their way. The photo on the left was taken shortly after I got there. Three hours later (right photo), I look worn out. My hair is limp and I'm sunburned from a hot and humid trip to the park. But those grandgirl smiles are the best, aren't they?
Now onto book news! The six-book novella series that I'm a part of is getting ready to launch. Book #1 will be out next month, then subsequent books will release every month until December. I'm reading Book #2 at the moment and it's so fun; I know you'll love it! Get ready to see the gorgeous covers in the next newsletter!
I've seen more Christmas in July events and sales this month than I have in previous years, haven't you? I had no idea it was a thing until I actually had a Christmas book to offer. Sales of Love, Lies and Mistletoe last week were brisk when it was marked down to $0.99. If you're still shopping for holiday books, here's one last look at a group of Christmas books. I hope you find something you like! (click on the image below)
