Be careful what you wish for, it might come true ...

 

My next release is August 12. Then I'll have a November 7 release. Then a November 11 release. And possibly another November release. And a December release.

 

Okay, maybe some don't 'count' -- they're print versions of previously released e-books. But I still need to do promo for 'em. And make sure all my assorted Lists, Loops, and Spots are updated.

 

And of course, now that the books are releasing, my editors want the 'next' book.

 

Yikes! I need to get cracking and quit blogging!

Well, almost a release.

 

I was due to have a book come out today, but it's been delayed. I'm not sure when it'll release -- hopefully in August. I'm not sweating it, though. Better to have all Tees crossed and Eyes dotted, right?

 

I'm still busy writing and doing promo -- yikes, where does the time go? I've cut back on the number of loops where I'm active and I'm trying to focus on spots where I think it will do the most good. We'll see -- it's all so hit and miss, isnt' it?

 

Have to go finish the latest WIP -- I'm still enjoying the whole Process and as long as it's fun, I'll keep slugging away.

 

Happy summer!

My "Murder at the National Conference" book is out and I've been busily pimping it all around the Web.

 

Actually, I haven't. I try to do one promo a day. I'm going to do one a day for a month or so, then drop the promo for a while and re-visit it when the next book in the series comes out. I've found that I dislike seeing SO much promo for one book on every loop I visit. It gets sort of ... shrill after a while. So I'm trying to be circumspect about it and take it somewhat easy.

 

Of course, life has gotten in the way and has forced me to be circumspect. I've had to make a lot of out of town trips lately (visits to family, death in the family, etc.). Now I may have to leave town again because my mother is caught in a town that's flooded and she may need to be evacuated. I don't mind the trip, but I just wish we knew what the right thing to do was ... leave or stay? Wait and hope for power to come back on? Or leave and assume the worse?

 

No answers tonight. Maybe in the morning ... until then, I'll go out and do my little post for my book.

 

Oh. Wait. I think this counts. Go out and buy Autographs, Abductions, and A-List Authors! From HERE.

 

Okay. That's done. Whew. I can relax for the rest of the night....

I'm using this holiday weekend to get caught up on so much. I've seen a movie I wanted to see (Indiana Jones), I got the garden as done as I want to at this point in time, I sat down and thought about Things (promotion, mainly), and I've been writing like a fiend.

 

Holidays are happy days, indeed.
