Summer. Certainly not my best writing time. Just too much going on; from taking care of two puppies (yes, that's right, we got two - sisters!)  to golfing, to taking care of outdoor plants and veggies, to indoor house cleaning, to just trying to have some kind of sanity in this crazy world we now live in. And also working on updating my 3 author/writing websites, which I am doing today. 

And then there is always the marketing, my least favorite part of my life as an author. Never sure exactly where to put my time, what will work, am I just wasting my time and all of this has been done before with zero positive results. Which reminds me, I'm always looking for feedback from those who have read my books. A positive review can make a difference to someone who isn't sure if they want to buy my book. I did recently find a review for a novel I wrote; it wasn't great. But, the reader did really like my short stories. I have written more short stories than novels but one review certainly isn't going to sway me from writing more novels. And as all authors know, each book you write is better than the one before it because we are always changing and growing and improving our writing/storytelling skills. So don't give up on me! And stay tuned. 

I am SO looking forward to fall and getting back to finishing up writing a few books that I've already started. If only I could focus - but each provides a challenge I accept and embrace through this journey that I'm on.

It's been awhile since my last post. And like my title says, it was life that took me away from writing. Just three days after my birthday, we lost our 8-year old Pomeranian, Felix,  due to an incompetent veterinarian. I've posted this already so I won't go into details here. But it was devastating to us and I couldn't do much but cry for weeks and had no motivation to do anything that was the least bit productive. 

Although I told my husband, 'no more dogs', in the 38 out of 40 years that he and I have been together, we have had at least one dog. So we started looking, and looking, and found that there are more scammers out there than legitimate shelters for dogs that desperately need homes. All they care about is the money and are looking for outrageous amounts of $$$$ for mixed breeds with no guarantee for anything. Then a friend of mine told me about a friend of hers who found a dog at a shelter 40 minutes from where we live. We stopped in for a visit because we saw a couple of their website that looked adorable. They, of course, were already adopted but we filled out paper work and they told us to check the dogs that were 'coming soon' on their website. We found a few puppies that were coming in and took the first available meeting. After less than an hour, we had picked out two and a short 4 days later, we picked up our new pups. We've had then almost a month now and Jim and I are learning, again, about the commitment to bringing not just one but two puppies into our home. We expected to have a long and happy life with our two new bundles of joy! Also, we were told the mom is Chihuahua and we think the dad may have been a Jack Russell Terrier.  

And now I have a new story to tell!

The Book-Signing event at the Mall of New Hampshire was a successful event and one that I would love to see repeated. Although I did start to suffer a little from sensory over-load (so many people!!!) having lived in a rural area for twenty-five years now, I know I need to go where the people are if I plan on getting my books into more reader's hands. And this is definitely one way to do it. 

And all of the other authors I spoke to are also hoping this event is repeated, preferably around the holidays. 

Other good news: 8 of my book titles are now in the Manchester Craft Market store at the Mall of New Hampshire! 

It was a good day!!!!
