February is one of those months where not a lot happens. I tend to use the month to catch up and this year isn't any different. I do have lots of good news to report.
In personal news, Pooh is doing better each week. He's now eating only solids after nearly a year of dietary issues. On our last visit, he devoured the fruit we brought. He's even put on a little weight and is closer to the ideal weight for a young man of 6'3. We are thrilled with all his improvements but know he still needs professional help to keep him healthy.
Work-wise, March looks like it'll be a strong month. The Blue Colla Make Ya Holla box set will finally be released. I had a little trouble writing such a short story (20,000 words), but I managed to give a solid HEA to my couple. Laramie Briscoe was quite a machine. When another author dropped out, Laramie wrote a second novella in less than two weeks. I bow to her speed and focus.
Broken Memphis should be finished next month and published in late March/early April. In marketing news, I was stoked to be approved by BookBub. Knowing how difficult approval can be, I avoided requesting a spot for over a year. Finally, I popped my BookBub cherry and expected the worst. Instead, I was offered a spot in March for Little Memphis! Very cool. There was lots of happy dancing around the house and internet high-fiving with Miranda. Oh, and the box set was approved by Romance Reads. March looks to be an eventful month publishing and promotion-wise.
I planned to work on Bad Men Rising after I finished Broken Memphis, yet the first book in the Devil's Hollow MC Series just isn't calling to me currently. I'm considering skipping it and working on Thunderstruck for the Ramsey Security Series. Might write a standalone book too. This is one of the benefits of being an indie author. I have the power to decide what I write.
Also in March, I'm driving to Kentucky to join Laramie and several of her author friends for lunch. I'm making a vacation out of it and staying the weekend. Found a hotel with an indoor pool for the boys and I'll see more of the state where my first romance series was based.
I feel a little guilty leaving Sally home with three cats and her dumb dog. The chick cats Tinker and Pixie remain deeply in hate. Fortunately, we have a large enough house to separate the gals. Poor Bow just wishes the drama would end. I plan to leave a large bottle of water for Sally, so she can go spray-crazy on the misbehaving cats while we're out of town.
I'll leave you with one of my fave songs from the 1980's and now Roo loves it too!
