Dating and Updates

Today I'm over at Donna K. Weaver's discussing how publishing is a bit like dating. 
We all know...dating is hard!




Remember to visit Donna and comment! I'm tallying up the comments for a swag pack winner :)



1. My boys are coming home from college this weekend. 


2. I bought a carafe for my coffee. Now I can keep a whole pot warm and within arms length.

3. My Facebook street team is up and running! Thanks to Sonya Hedricks for organizing it. 




GOALS UPDATE:

Join the Goals Blog Hop Here!











2015 Goals:

Publish two books: on track! Defying Reason is out. Hoosier Daddy drafted and ready for edits.

Master marketing: Facebook Street team is up and running (repeats are ok, right?)

More book events: Signed up for a book fair in Weirton, WV in May and having a book chat at a retirement home in March.

    Hot coffee always within reach sounds good. Boys coming home is even better. Enjoy.

    Off to check it out! I don't drink much coffee--just one cup in the morning and sometimes hot chocolate later in the day. I like the flavored stuff, so we have a Keurig.

      I switch between coffee and tea. My son loves tea, hates coffee and gets mad when I mix the two without mentioning it to him.

    Hey Twinny:)

    Love that name for your new book... I'm not from this country, so it took me a few seconds.. .and then I was like, "OHHhhhhh, Hoosier..." so well played :)

    Like the goals update, too! Have you ever considered joining a group of like-minded people (It may be a small group :) and you could update there every week, too :)

    PS: Sounds like the marketing *is* coming along... good for you :)

    I second Mr. Koopmans' words, except I caught onto Hoosier more quickly, being as I'm in the country of Paternity Tests that are likely soon available at the drive through window of your nearest Starbucks.

    You're rockin and rolling. I'm ever proud of your progress. I do believe you're doing fine keeping up with Alex's shadow (as much as anyone could).

    Love ya, girlfriend.
    Happy weekend.

    Wonderful! Keep on, keeping on. I too love the name of your book. See you on the 9th for Defying Reason!

    Weirton? My sister lives there. I should visit in May!
