Good Morning!! Had an exciting weekend, check out What’s Happening below. The weather was hotter than usual, first day of fall it was over 90 degrees out here. Enjoy your week ahead!!

Linking-up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:

RECIPE I’D LIKE TO TRY:

Thought I’d change it up a bit and NOT post a dessert, lol. I thought this was a clever idea. I do like omelets, but not with veggies. Just a basic meat and cheese one would do for me.

LOL CHUCKLES AND GIGGLES:

FAVORITE VIDEO FROM THE INTERNET:

These guys are pretty insane, and so fun to watch.

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

Wednesday night was a beautiful night for our Cruise Night. No matter how many times I go, it’s always nice to walk along the main street and see all those cool cars, and always run into some people I know.

Thursday, my mom and I went to the library for Adult Game night. That was fun. We played Scattergories. I had a headache for most of the day, so my brain wasn’t functioning to capacity, lol. How you play is you role a dice with letters on it. The letter it lands on is the letter that each word in 12 different categories has to start with. There are cards with the 12 different categories, and you have 3 minutes to come up with the answers.

Friday my shipment of books came in!! That was so totally exciting!! Nothing like having a book in your hand, especially one that you are in. When I opened the box, Ben had to get one out just so he could see my name in print. While my family is supportive, they aren’t overly excited about this, it’s kinda like “that’s great, mom’s a writer, what’s for dinner?” After Ben saw my name in print, he started reading the story, and I immediately got reprimanded for the use of language, lol. There’s a “what the hell” in the first line. But I was able to get him to take this pic of me. He was acting like the paparazzi. So, he was having fun with it, and once that was all done, I figured, ok the excitement is over. Well later that evening, he says to me. “Hey mom, when I get to be Elijah’s age, and I’m in high school and I have to pick a book to read, I’ll just pick one of yours. That way you can give me all the answers.” Yeah…it kind of took a little curve at the end, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from him 😀

The paperback version is available now.

Kindle version delivered October 1.

FAVORITE PIC:

I had some errands to run Saturday, when I got back my sister was at the house, and got her copy of the book. She snapped this pic of me signing it for her.

Good Evening!! These weeks are flying by, we are having some really warm weather this week, but not complaining. Trying to get out on my bike as much as I can before it gets too cold. As much as I am looking forward to snow, I’m not looking forward to cold and flu season. Already I’ve had sniffly kids here. Of course, my kids aren’t little, but age doesn’t matter when kids are sick, lol. Hope everyone is doing well.

RECIPE I’D LIKE TO TRY:

This looks interesting. I’m thinkin’ add some chocolate to the top, my youngest loves chocolate covered bacon!!

LOL CHUCKLES AND GIGGLES:

FAVORITE VIDEO FROM THE INTERNET:

So adorable.

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

Friday night I walked over to the little band shelter we have a few blocks away in our downtown area. There was a concert by The Howl Experience. It’s an all request dueling piano show. The weather was beautiful, and again a lot of people came out. Only in a small town can they block off part of the street for a concert. Always nice to get out and see old friends.

It has been so much fun to be a part of this whole book experience. Basically it has gone from conception to completed product in a very short time. The release date is October 1, but if you pre-order before then, there is a bonus story from Dan Alatorre included in the Kindle download version only. Also, the paperback is now available to order!! I will be placing my order this week. I cannot wait to have the book in my hand!! And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, we just got word that a BIG name in writing wants to receive a review copy to be considered for The Best Horror of the Year. It’s an annual compendium of the critically acclaimed editor’s selections of horror fiction. Even though horror is not my genre of choice, this is still exciting news!! So if you or anyone you know loves some scary stories, grab a copy and share the link!!
