Of Books and Blogs and Summer Sales
Some of you may remember that I've shared a little something about the trilogy I'm working on. So, I'm still doing that - although I now have solid drafts of all three books. Yay!
But I'm f-a-r from done. I'm revising and editing like a mad woman. The main character is Grace Elizabeth Hofner. Otherwise known as Gracie.
I have Gracie brain. That means she and her friends and family and problems and chocolate are just about all I think about 24/7. Plus our dogs and Live-In Handyman, of course - they all combine to make sure I move and don't forget them.
As if :)
Oh! Did you notice I've begun the process of cleaning up my blog? I hope it loads faster for you. The blog rolls are NOTICEABLY shorter. If you don't find yours listed here, it means I got cross-eyed in the process and clicked in error. Just let me know, and I'll add you back in. No worries.
I'll be making some more changes here, but not until fall or winter.
One last bit of news to share with you:
Kindle editions of each of my books will be on sale for 99 cents during the end of July through mid-August. Here are the dates for each book:
Each sale runs Monday-Sunday, and is for the Kindle edition only. The paperback editions will remain at regular price.
If you haven't read any of these yet, you're invited to take advantage of the summer sales and give one or more of them a try.
I'll be back here on Monday, August 1. Hope to see you then!

I've cleared my sidebars once last year and I need to do it again.
Good luck with the revisions/editing while you're stuck in "Gracie brain mode".

Hope the sales are all big successes. I'm trying hard to be more active on Twitter and will make sure to tweet about them!
Congrats on the drafts..... wonderful news! editing is the fun part...lol
your blog looks squeaky clean,... i should die the same.
Have fun with your Grace!
Happy summer!
Hope you get a lot of sales.
Glad to see things are progressing and you're keeping all the balls in the air--the trilogy, cleaning up the blog, having three (!) sales, and keeping those in your household happy. All good. Have a fabulous July.
Michelle - Thanks! And I'll take those good luck wishes, too :)
Karen - Glad you like the clean look. I was so tired of the other one.
Julie - It's so good to have this story out of my head. Another one is pushing to get in.
Crystal - Much less visual clutter! Fresher, too.
Michael - So happy to have those drafts done. I can work with them. Couldn't do that when part of the story was still in my head.
Elizabeth - Thanks. Progress is good. I wish it was faster, but it's OK as long as I'm moving forward.
Jemi - I've had issues with malware on my blogrolls a couple of times. It is a royal pain.
Bish - Yes, three. It's a long story :)
Diane - I'm glad you think so. Most of the time I think I must have lost my mind to think I could actually do this.
Jan - I do get barked at occasionally ... by all three household members :)
Mark - Yes! Exactly.
EC - LOL! I have plenty of oddments, too. Just the other day I got ambushed by a whole army of them :)
Congratulations on three working drafts. Wow! And here I am still muddling through on a single edit—although I am making progress.
Your page looks great, cool and clean!

Love,
Janie
Southpaw - I'm making changes in the first book because of things that happen in the second and third ones. I would've been toast if I'd released it without finishing the story. My brain is fried :)
VR - I'm at the very beginning stage of editing now. A long way to go.
Loni - Cool! Enjoy :)
Janie - Gracie is keeping me plenty busy, that's for sure!
Have fun with that editing.
Lynda - I agree. Don't want to even type that sweet word :)
Nice to see you still around, and wow how productive you've been. Awesome.
Have a super weekend.
Lee - So true! Same good wishes back to you.
Susan - It's about time for one of those chilled adult beverages just about now :)
All the best with finishing Gracie's story.
Murees - Thanks for the cheers and good luck wishes. I need them all!
Misha - Yay! Good to hear.
Your blog always loads fast for us, but if I had to estimate, I'd say it loaded 0.1 second faster today. A new record!
Awesome job on your writing. It sounds like you are making a ton of progress. Keep up the super work!
