What's Next?

The time has come for a real blog break.

I have 500 jillion things to do to get ready for the release of IN NAME ONLY in July. Yes...mark your calendars now - July 10 is the magic day!

Plus queries to send on Solomon's Compass.

And writing to do on my WIP.

To say nothing of a planned vacation.

I'm sure I won't get everything done that's on my list, but I hope the list will at least be manageable instead of out of control. I need six weeks off, but I'm taking three.

And when I return, I'll have a surprise for you. Promise :)

You'll see me around on a few blogs for a while, and probably on Facebook from time to time. If you need to reach me, you can message me on Twitter [good] or Facebook [better] or by email [best]. My email address is on my profile.

I'll be here for the top ten this Friday and through the weekend, then it's adios until Monday, May 21.

I'll miss all of you, but I have to take my life back. And it's only three weeks. Right?

Aw, you're leaving and I'm just getting back. But hey, I know how it is. Have a good productive break and I can't wait for the surprise.

I'll be putting your release day on my calendar too. You'll still need to remind me though because I always forgot to look at the calendar.

Enjoy your break, get lots done, and come back suitably relaxed and refreshed.

Can't wait for your release day but it also sounds like you are going to have your hands more than full w/o the added pressure of blogging.

You deserve a break today, so get up and get away, to the Tiki Hut (tune from an old McDonald's jingle).

God bless, enjoy have have a perfect break sweetie.

Good luck on the release! Woohoo!!! :o)

Congratulations and good luck with your book. Blogging does take up a lot of time and I don't know how some people do it and write, too. See you in three weeks.
