Hello, gentle readers! Hope you are all well
and staying safe!
So, I did a couple of fun things in the past
week (aside from writing) so I thought I’d share a little. I met a friend for
lunch. We used to work together, but it’s been a while. We do stay in touch via
Facebook, but it’s not the same as sitting across from someone, sharing a meal amid
laughter. It was such a fun visit—we laughed a lot. And I left the restaurant
happy, enthused, and raring to write.
What else did I do that was fun? I did an
interview (oh, no, not in person! That would just terrify me!). I did two
interviews actually, one for Oliver-Heber, my publisher, and one for Fresh Fiction.
Here are the links if you want to check them out….

They were a little difficult to do. I share a lot with you,
gentle readers, but don’t normally share as much with others. I’m trying to get
out of my comfort zone, so to speak and doing these interviews was a step
forward.
What else did I do that was fun? Well, I’m not
sure most folks would call it fun, but I did work on The Madam and Mr. MacLean, the next story in the Matchmaker Mischief series.
I won’t say it hasn’t been a struggle, because it has, but I’m making headway,
I think. My heroine, a rather reserved individual, has finally smiled! And
laughed! Which made me laugh. And I’m so proud of her. I know that sounds
silly, but it’s true. Hmmmm, I wonder if other authors feel like this—almost downright
giddy—when a character begins to blossom and comes out of her shell. My hero is
the complete opposite…he smiles and laughs all the time. Actually, it just
occurred to me that my hero is kinda like my DH…he’s very outgoing, very chatty
(with everyone—I don’t think he’s ever met a stranger!) and he’s been making me
laugh for the past forty-six years!
And that’s all for me…I need to get back to my
heroine, Sheridan, and see if I can make her laugh again. Stay well! Stay safe!
And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!
