First off, Happy Mother's Day.
Next, I didn't get any writing done this week, but I did get a boatload of editing done. And a cover made. Then formatting, etc. Thus, as of last night, THICKER THAN WATER is live on Amazon. Here it is in all its glory:
Family ties and blood… Duke Noble’s had more than enough of both. When he receives a frantic call from his mother, Duke’s not the kind of man who can simply ignore her pleas. But discovering a body in his brother’s apartment wasn’t at all what he expected. Wondering whether the body belongs to Harry means there’s no turning back. He’ll have to work his way through both secrets and lies to get to the facts. Even if it means digging up truths better left in the dirt.
Which brings me around to marketing...
Starting tomorrow Rumor Has It will be free for 5 days. I'll be marketing that. Last week, I marketed Song of Storm and Shroud. Here's hoping RHI does better than that did. I could use some sales this month.
Today, I'll be formatting TTW for print and getting that process underway. This week, I'll get back to working on Duke Noble #3.
Now back to my regularly scheduled updatey stuff...
Reading - check out yesterday afternoon's post. It was a good week for reading, and I'm now only 6 books behind on my reading goal. Woot.
No baking this week. I'm trying to cut back on the breaded products for a while. Not sure how long that will last. I do love me my baked goods. Not baked, but I did make a lovely beefy-rice dish that I'm jokingly referring to as Beef Risotto. I also made a vat of turkey/chicken noodle soup that was quite yummy. And a pulled pork that was so good, I was walking around going 'mmm...meat candy'.
On the activity front, I was an animal. There was only 1 day that I didn't do anything active. I walked, I gardened, I did yard work, I moved some furniture around. I walked 3.8 miles last week. Whoa. Weight: 173.2 - you'd think it would be lower, but meh.
Gardening... my little trees are doing well. The baby redbuds are about 4-5 inches tall and have several leaves now. The dogwoods are about 3 inches and have about 4 leaves each. The oak is looking good, but only 2 leaves so far. The cedars are thriving, of course. The tree seeds I planted last week aren't doing anything yet. Yesterday, on the way home from Wallyworld, I stopped at the feed store and bought a flat of Roma tomatoes. Those went in pots when I got home, so hopefully one or two of the six will flower and fruit, giving me yummy treats.
Well, I think there's probably more to update you on, but that's probably enough out of me for now. Look for a marketing post tomorrow. Have a great rest of your day and if you're a mom, I hope you get to spend time with the kids today. :hugs:
Bought my copy! Boosted on X. I'll get a review up soon. Love this book. Hope you move lots and lots!
