It's Take My Readers to Work Day
I'm back, I'm back, I'm back!
There are no words to express how much I've missed all of you.
Thanks to all who visited while I've been typing my fingers to the bone. Special thanks to those who visited every month and those who commented. You're all some kind of awesome!
I know I said I was going to start work on refreshing this blog. Hasn't happened yet, but it will. I could chat for a while, but I don't know where to start.
So I'm going to show you where I've been.
Almost every single day. For hours.
And I'm still there, working diligently. But I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm beyond grateful. I embarked on this trilogy journey without having a clue. It's been the most amazing writing adventure yet, and I've loved every second. Even when I was pulling out my hair, strand by strand.
I'm also sharing space today with the wonderful C. Lee McKenzie
Thanks again for stopping by.
I'll be around to visit you over the next week or so. For real!
So this has been my journey every day.
First the long, harrowing commute:
Then the traffic jams:
A stop for coffee:
And then straight to work, through the dining room:
You'll notice there's no door from this way or this way:
Which means the twoloud-mouthed hair-shedding canines sweet little furbabies have unfettered access to the windows only a step away from my desk. And every delivery truck, bike rider, jogger, squirrel, bird, and cat that comes along.
I hardly notice them barking anymore, except when I'm deep in the story, and they make me jump.
I do love them. Who could resist these sweet faces:
Next month I'll show you my desk. And my trilogy notebooks. And maybe more. I'll see you back here on Monday, June 6.
Now that I'm finally done, I get to participate in the cover reveal for C. Lee McKenzie's new book, SIGN OF THE GREEN DRAGON.
C. Lee McKenzie is a 4 & 5 star reviewed author. Her greatest passion is writing for young readers. Sign of the Green Dragon is her third Middle Grade novel. Alligators Overhead and the sequel, The Great Time Lock Disaster were her first two. She has traditionally published four young adult novels: Sliding on the Edge, The Princess of Las Pulgas, Double Negative and Sudden Secrets.

Glad to see you back.
Good to see you back, Carol:)
Bish - They're a huge help [eye roll] :)
Robin - They're only tricky if there's a dog underfoot. Doesn't happen except in thunderstorms. Otherwise they go first.
Thanks for the post about my cover. I appreciate your adding it to your return post!
Congrats to C. Lee. I love that cover. It makes me think of a fascinating adventure just waiting behind that cover.
Mason - Traffic jams up there a few times every day. I need to talk to somebody about widening the road :)
Love that I am seeing C Lee McKenzie's cover across the blogosphere.
Liza - Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the trip :)
Jo-Anne - The stairs aren't as steep as they appear in that photo. I tried to make them look scary.
You and I came out of hiding about the same time. ;)
Congratulations, Lee! :D
And a big congrats to Lee!!!!!
I loved your advice for destressing. I'm trying it out today.
Diane - I'll bet the twisty kind that gets between your legs at every step :)
Holly - Favorite nap spot! Hope my tip works for you.
Loni - Ruff! Love it :)
Congrats to C. Lee McKenzie. Great cover!

Lexa - I would LOVE a door! But they'd probably whine outside until I opened it ♥
Michelle - I love all the light I have in here :)
Seeya next month!
Love the pics - your dogs are gorgeous!
Crystal - I've been gone so long I didn't know you were gone, too. I should make a recording that loops continually:
"Give me kisses. Don't start. Good boy. Leave it. Good job. No bark. You're so sweet. Down. You're so cute. Stay. I love you."
Congratulations to C Lee! Sounds awesome story!
