My Fingers are Frozen to the Keyboard

We are back on track for Ranger and Serenity to get their book with the upcoming The Cowboy's Temporary Solution!
I've been picking through the draft I had partially finished before letting Gunner and Clem cut in line, and I forgot how far I'd gotten, as well as how much fun I was having with them.
I'd had the next Detla O Ranch book penciled into my calendar for a February 5 deadline, but I'm going to be spending my weekend building a heavy duty, slide-out shelf for the new refrigerator in the tiny trailer.
So I'll let you know next week if I'm on schedule or not.
Last week, I was in a funk, despite being excited about releasing the first book in the new Slow River Valley Ranches series, because my progress on getting my older books published to retailers outside of Amazon had hit a particularly painful snag when I was told that one of my books was guilty of copyright infringement.
Naturally, I have no idea what triggered that accusation-- but it does seem to have been cleared up. It has, however, slowed progress on the "publish wide" project while I double check several things in the background and go find some extra ducks to add to my row in hopes of preventing similar misunderstandings in the future. Or, at least, making the arguments easier to win.
So, enjoy having the Match Maker books back in KU for another three months while I get more stuff crossed off the Master To-Do List.
Not much more going on this week. It's been cold here in northern Nevada and I'm trying to get several modifications completed on the little camper trailer so I can get back to my nomad travels.
This mostly seems to involve endless trips to the hardware store and more Amazon orders than I've made since I built the trailer in 2021. I don't even know where all this stuff is going? It's 76 1/2 square feet of space that was already full!
See ya next week with an update on Ranger and Serenity's book, and more pointless babble about whatever's going on in my personal life (not much.)
