Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well and staying safe!
Oh my gosh! Life has gotten so busy…let me rephrase that….life has always been busy…it’s just more so now and somehow, I thought, mistakenly, that as one grew older, it just wouldn’t be. It’s pretty harsh realizing I lied to myself.
The day job is crazy busy. So much to do, not enough time to do it in. You’re all familiar with the phrase ‘do more with less’? Yeah. That.
And the writing—the thing that keeps me sane—has been busy, too. I am ready to submit The Marshal and Mrs. Morgan to my publisher (you don’t know how happy it makes me to say that after having been without a publisher since before COVID) and I’m working diligently on The Madam and Mr. MacLean (I’ve already run into a snag on that, but I’m fixing it). AND Wife by Surprise is up for pre-order, releasing on April 25.
Of course, when all these moving parts are moving, the ideas keep coming (not sure how that works, but my brain is a very strange and odd place). I’ve been working on two more (possibly three) stories for the Matchmaker Mischief series because, you know, can’t stop the wheels from turning. It’s a good thing I carry notebooks around with me because you never know when an idea will hit or a character introduces himself. I have actually stopped in the middle of the grocery store to jot down notes (I do try to stay out of people’s way)! I’ve also pulled into a parking lot to make notes because some of my best ideas occur when I’m driving (I don’t use a recorder of any kind because the playback is filled with ‘ums’ and I sound like Minnie Mouse).
And that’s all for me. Gotta get back to writing…the thing that keeps me sane (although the jury might be out on that).
Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
