My
baby is no longer a baby! Today, Roo is officially a big bad teenager, though he’s
been moody and pit-stanktacular for a while.
I
have more happy news…
Baby
don’t hate, I've published number eight!
After
four years of publishing, I’ve FINALLY managed more than seven releases!
And 2016 isn’t even over yet!
Admittedly,
I fell behind with my "release a month" plan after The Deliciously Dirty in
Dallas signing in August threw off my writing mojo. It took over a week after
our return to get back my groove.
The
signing was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed having Aimie Grey as my table
mate. While I managed to forget my banner at home, Aimie’s sexy new one got us
plenty of eyeballs.
When my hotel reservation got jacked up, the woman at the Weston was awesome. She
allowed us an upgraded room at the original discounted price plus offered free
buffet breakfasts during our stay.
The
hotel is RIGHT NEXT to the airport. Noisy, for sure, but very cool to see the airplanes closeup. In the mornings, we sat near the rooftop pool and watched the massive planes landing. I felt like a kid up there.
In personal growth news, I engaged with the R-word loving turd during the signing. She was as awful as I
expected, but I never batted an eye. The last few months of prep
work got me ready to deal with her nasty attitude. I’ve learned to accept how some
people are raised to think using a cruel word is acceptable. There’s no
changing them. I can only control my response.
Though
Tigger and Roo enjoyed the Dallas trip, the latter decided to remain home
during the upcoming Charlotte signing. Sally will no doubt enjoy the company.
Having
begun writing the final Rawkfist MC book last week, I’ve completed about a third so far. Considering how road trips slow me down, I’d love to be halfway through by
the time I leave for Charlotte. Ideally, I'll publish Train Wreck this month. Then I'll finish out the year with
Evolution and Whiskey Blues. Eleven releases in a year
would be well beyond anything I dreamed. Fingers crossed that it’ll
all come together.
Until
next time, Happy Autumn!
