Today Mason Canyon is reviewing SECRETS OF HONOR here. I hope you have an extra minute to click over and read what she has to say. I was blown away. Thank you, Mason.
Thanks to everyone who commented. I wish I could afford to give gift cards to everyone. And a huge thank you to all the hosts. You helped make Release Week a success.
Notice anything different around here? Check the sidebars. Especially the big one at the top of the right sidebar. Click it, and see what happens. When you finish over there, come back here and keep reading :)
I also pried the pruning shears from Live-In Handyman's hands and worked off a ton of stress. I cleaned up my stuff and hacked away at the blog rolls.
I cut all blogs from bloggers who haven't left a comment here and/or I haven't visited there in a year or so. I may have been over-zealous in clicking the remove button. If you don't see your link, just email or comment and say What about me? or Don't count me out yet! and I'll put you right back in.
Today I'm blogging with Hart Johnson at Confessions of a Watery Tart about stress during the lead up to the SECRETS OF HONOR release. I hope you'll stop by.
UPDATE: After you read my post on Hart's blog, check this one out, too. You have to read Hart's first so you'll see how stressed I've been. Then you'll understand why I messed up and double booked today. I'm also here:
This week I'm blogging with my Texas friend, Shelly Morales, at her awesome blog, La Tejana. Shelly writes the most amazing stories, many about her family. I'm telling one of my own over there about a little girl and her walks home from school. I hope you'll drop in.
Now I know the secret of cloning ... over stress and you just magically split into two parts so you can be in two places at once!
Since this is a short post, and I'm still half-drained from being a social butterfly last week, I'll leave you with a photo. Y'all know what this is, right?

I try to stay on top of my blogroll. Mostly I'm trying to add new folks who are visiting.
Have a great day.
I can't wait to read and review your book. I'm just trying to save a bit of money right now in order to buy it.
I need to clean up my side bar.
Nashvillecats - Cool! You have a great day, too :)
Mason - Thanks. It's easy to get sidetracked.
Clarissa - I know how that is.
Karen - You don't? Read on :)
Shelly - Thank you!
Delores - An undersea one. This is the conning tower of a WWII submarine, looking straight on.
Diane - Congrats again!
Beer - Much easier to manage. With the total cleanup, my blog loads much faster.
Carol, you'll have to tell me your secret for cloning. That could come in handy. ;)
Melissa - Mega Stress. LOL!
Awesome news Carol, congrats on the release of SECRETS OF HONOR!
Congrats to all the winners too!
I just did a bit of a revamp of my social media...and messed up my Facebook in the rush...hence the brand new Facebook account...LOL
I have to confess that I'm stumped by that photo...?
Michelle - I'll go over to Facebook when I leave here and make sure we're still friends.
The photo is the conning tower of the submarine USS Cavalla (SS-244). The Cavalla served in the second world war, and she's now moored on land at Galveston Island. This is looking head on - I was standing on deck.

Congrats to all the winners! And to you for surviving another book release.

Dolorah - Yay!
Hootin Anni - Thank you, too! It's great meeting you.
OE - So am I!
You have been busy, busy, busy! :)

Congrats to the winners.
You had a clumsy summer, it seems. I go through periods of time in which I'm more injured than normal.
I decided it's impossible to keep up with everyone on my blogroll, so I concentrate on visiting everyone who visits me, and anything else is whipped cream on top. Which reminds me... it's time for lunch. Take care!
Medeia - I'm klutzy all the time, but this summer was brutal! It's an old submarine from the front.
Susan - I'll be right over! Thanks for letting me know.
Hart - Trying hard to put the brakes on - they're squealing!
You are blessed with a great support group and many many friends. Congrats winners. I like winners.
Manzanita - I am blessed. I like winners, too :)
Have a great day.
Romance Reader - Thanks! You, too :)
