Mountain Girl

Whelp... I'm behind in my word count goals for my current WIP by...pretty much the whole book.  This one's taking a little longer than I had planned.  The authorial end of the summer slump I guess. Also, apparently, there's a summer slump, which I am feeling most keenly. So...any book buying you guys want to do would be most appreciated.  You know...if you want to. ;P Look!  I've got THREE whole books to choose from!  Three! And they're all good.  So I've been told ;P  Snowed In (Book One) is $0.99 to get you started. Anyway, I still don't have a release date for the current WIP.  I was hoping for the end of Aug, but now...not so sure.  I'll keep everyone updated on that, though. Random Thoughts: I need to figure out how get the bread I've been making to rise a second time (trying to do sandwich bread; rises the first time, second time...not so much).  Going to try a different recipe next time... I'm considering doi...

So, I updated my website...and the blog and stuff to match.  Wasn't digging the red, feels like the blues match my covers and overall personality better, so...yay!  I like it.  Hopefully you guys will too. So...Book Four of the Olsson's Pass Series is on hiatus at the moment.  It wasn't coalescing in my brain the way I wanted to, so I've put it down for a moment.  Plus, it seems there's something of a diminishing returns thing going on with series' in general, so...there's that, too.  And I haven't got the money for proper marketing right now. End result...I'm doing a standalone!  Signed up for CampNano again...and again, am very much behind.  I can't seem to sit down long enough to do more than 1000 words at at time these days, for various reasons.  Maybe I left too much time for my Rest After Release thing, but it seems like every time I sit down to write I either procrastinate or get dragged back out into the real world to deal with st...

Musings Firstly... I just want to say a huge, hearty THANK YOU to everyone who left a review on Release Day.  I don't know if I've adequately expressed my thanks, so all of you have it.  I sent out 20 copies on Booksprout and got 9 reviews over all - and they were all good!  I must be doing something right ;) So THANK YOU, again, those reviews made my day.  Hugs all around!  And as always: HERE is Tracked Down , $0.99 ebook and $10.99 Paperback.   And if you have an interest in Snowed In  and Smoked Out , they're available as well. And the Rest... Good reviews aside, I had a brief moment of self-pity wallowing the other day because someone bought and then returned one each of the first two books.  I know my stuff's not for everyone, but it's the first time this has happened since I released Snowed In  in Nov 2017.  So it smarts a little, even if I get it.   Bah.  No sense doing the spilled milk...

First Things First: Book Three is...almost done!  About 75% done.  Well, at least the writing part.  I'll still need to edit, but I've got some time set aside for that (obviously).  But it feels good to be coming up to the finale of the story and mostly  on schedule too.  I'm excited to publish it.  Hopefully you guys will like it as much as I do :P ARC List! I've set up a sign up form for ARC Readers on my website ; there's also an external link.  As soon as the book is ready, I'll let everyone know so they can go to the hosting site (in this case, BookSprout) and download from there. Ooooo, things are moving along! Misc.
