Twenty-eight days until the official release of Lost Legacy. I've posted another Goodreads giveaway. Enter for a chance to win one of five signed ARCs. I'm gearing up for some travel and adventures along with planning my second launch party. And in the meantime, I have my nose to the proverbial grindstone trying to whip book #3 into shape. Deadline for turning the manuscript into my agent is September 2. Where has the year gone? Tomorrow, I'm the featured "guest" at Coffee with the Author at The Gathering Place, a cute little coffee house attached to the Paris Presbyterian Church (Burgettstown PA) at noon. I'll be talking about Circle of Influence and Lost Legacy , writing, and anything else that anyone wants to talk about. And I'll have copies there to sell and sign. If you're in the southwestern Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, or West Virginia panhandle regions, I'd love to have you stop in!

This morning I'm working in the "shipping department" of my one-woman business, packaging the five Lost Legacy ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) for the winners of my Goodreads Giveaway. Congratulations to Kristen Slater, Missy Nelson, Beverley Albright, Sussan Navabi, and Judie Dooley! Your signed copies are on their way!

This is the final stretch to my debut book launch. Someone asked me yesterday if I got flutters when I think about it. Oh my, YES. Mostly though, I'm keeping too busy to think much. Which is probably a good thing. I've created a second Goodreads Giveaway , so for those of you who didn't win the first time around, here's another chance.

Thanks to everyone who entered my first Goodreads Giveaway and congratulations to the winners. I'm doing several guest blogs next month and will give more advanced copies away to some lucky commenters, so stay tuned.

The link is on the right! Good luck!

I'm attempting to set up a Goodreads Giveaway for an ARC of Circle of Influence . The button to enter is on the right, but as I post this, it isn't active yet. I hope to figure out why ASAP, so keep trying. My technical ineptitude is showing.
