I also got some bad news, which didn’t help in the reading
or writing. Bite Me was rejected. L To say the news stung
is an understatement. Oh well, I must press onward. I have other options, so it’s
not a dead project. Just not the route I wished to take.
In my effort to figure out how to promote myself (because,
let’s face it, books don’t always sell themselves, do they?), I joined some
Lyrical Press “sisters” on a Facebook page--Sizzle and Sass. The main kick-off
starts on Oct 1 and each author (there are 13 of us - is that lucky or what?)
has control of the page for a week (my first week is Nov 3-9), but if you wish
to LIKE the page now, we won’t object. I did send out some invites, but tried
to be selective. In that instance, I could have missed some people (like you!).
It’s all about having a good time (we don’t want to bombard the fans with
sales, but yeah, our books will be mentioned at times). So if you’re
interested, or know someone who loves to read romance, let them know about our
page! Here’s the link (I hope it works!): https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sizzle-and-Sass/213212842173895
The anthology my local RWA chapter is putting together
(which includes two of my short stories) apparently hit a snag (or
communications error). The book was planned to be released in August. I have no
idea when it’ll be out now, but I’m guessing the theme, Summer Reads, won’t fit
so much now. Hmmm… I’ll let you know more when I learn more.
So, what do you do when you get bad news? I usually reach
for some comfort food, which in my case is a spoonful of Skippy creamy peanut
butter. But did I have any in the house when I wanted it? Of course not! My
husband had finished off the jar while I was at Dragon*Con. Talk about
depressing! I’m good now, though. J
Happy reading! I should have at least one book to list next
Wednesday.
