This is one of those mornings when you wake up to find lovely things in your Inbox. Nothing makes my cuppa Earl Grey go down better, I have to confess. First, I found my entire Wake-Robin Ridge series was displayed today on Sally Cronin’s Summer Reading Blog feature. Wow! Such a nice thing to see! Thank you, Sally. To read (and mostly, to share far and wide, pleeze?) you can go HERE.
Then I discovered my latest book, Harbinger, was being featured on Rosie Amber’s blog as a #TuesdayBookBlog post, and with a 5-star review, no less. THANK YOU, Rosie! To see, and hopefully share, what Rosie thinks of Wake-Robin Ridge Book 3, go HERE.
This is the kind of thing that makes the LOOONG hours worthwhile. Just knowing there are some readers who enjoy my stories makes me happy I finally decided to give writing a go. And belonging to our caring and supportive community of writer and bloggers is the icing on the cake.
Color me happy . . . as a clam! 🙂

Thanks, Mae! Some days are worth getting out of bed for, even if your body says no. 😀 And guess what I started reading last night? Hint: It rhymes with “With and Wagic”. 😀 😀 😀

Glad it gave you a chuckle! I live to provide Comic Relief! 😀 And yes, I’m enjoying it very much so far. Still trying to figure out exactly what the crux of Caith’s problem is, other than the trauma of the main event he suffered through. It’s keeping me turning those pages, for sure!

It started out SUPER, then went to heck in a handbasket! Some very frustrating problems popping up. BUT. I’m choosing to think about how nice these pats on the back were, and you’re right. VERY validating! Lovely! Thanks for the congratulations. ❤ ❤ ❤

Don’t think I have one of those on my regular desktop keyboard. 😦 If I do, I sure never noticed it. But thanks, anyway. I know how to use them from my iPhone, but I don’t do much from there.
