It’s March! That means shedding dogs, chirping birds at five in the freaking morning, and mud. I’m kidding. I’m excited for spring, though here on top of this mountain spring is more like winter for the rest of you. The best part about March besides baseball? For the next few weeks you’ll get to hear my favorite IRISH MUSIC! You lucky people.
Favorite Song of the Week ~ I’m one of seven children in my big Irish family. Imagine all us kids under the age of ten, all lined up singing this song to a houseful of well-imbibed St. Paddy’s revelers at our annual parties. I didn’t know what I was REALLY singing about until I was around 20.
Work in Progress News ~ Working away on Rising Heat. I got stuck in one area, and skipped ahead to a scene I knew was coming. I leave myself little notes in the margins like “transition here” and “fix”. Sometimes I forget what I want fixed by the time I revisit that scene, so I’ve tried to be more specific lately. This week I discovered a little factoid via YouTube that I’ll have to tweak Starting Forever before I put it up for sale. I’m so worried that I’ll get a fact wrong!
Backlist News ~ A new review on Amazon for Falling Star. Lisa says: “Adam and Jade were great characters. Wanted the book to go on for a little longer. I wish I could have got to know the characters a little more. But on a whole, I was still intrigued with them and wanted more. I did love it!!”
Tweet of the Week ~ The funniest thing about this is that it’s probably true:
What I’m reading ~ Double Header by Abigail Barnette. When Javier Vargas was traded from the Portland Pioneers to the Grand Rapids Bengals, he didn’t just leave his team behind… he turned his back on the love of his life. Now, a year later, short stop Zach Martin is playing for the Bengals as well, and Javier can’t believe he ever walked away from the scorching heat between them.
Today’s Tearjerker ~ Seriously. Two tissues.
Book Snippet ~ From Wyoming Solace:
She was beautiful. If only he could reach that patch of tender skin beneath her ear with his mouth. But he couldn’t without moving too much. Her head grew heavy on his biceps, slowly cutting off the blood, causing his fingers to tingle.
He wouldn’t move for the world.
Okay folks. Have a great week!
