Work Dates and Books on Sale

Yes, my lovelies, it is now September, which may be my favorite month. I think it has to do with the fact that I have never been a sunworshipper, nor are summer activities my particular favorites. I was always wanting to read when my mother was shooing me outside, and so going back to school was actually ... a relief. I know. Weird. In any case, I love the Fall, and I love that feeling of golden sun and chilly days and getting back to work without feeling guilty because I'm not outside doing something horrible. Like gardening.One of my favorite things about my life (which I think I've mentioned before), is my long relationship with Kristin Hannah, friend and critique-partner extraordinaire, and in August we did one of our go-away-work-days, where we combine wine, food, talk and critiquing. Thankfully, there is plenty of wine, because these sessions can be harrowing. But now 300+ pages of the new manuscript are now completely marked up and ready to be edited into something resembling a story.The day we exchanged manuscripts: The two days away--a rather typical scene. Another great thing about this September: books on sale!The Spanish edition of Bone River will be on sale at Amazon's ES store through 9/30:Inamorata and Bone River will both be offered as a Kindle Literature and Fiction Monthly Book Deal for $.99 through 9/30. These are both good reads for September, perfect for the chilly days of Fall, and at a price you don't often see. Enjoy! And wish me luck on the editing!

Summertime Fun

Our annual Author's Summer Brunch was held yesterday at a beautiful home on Puget Sound. It is a joy to know that these special women are my friends, and the support they've given me over the years has been invaluable. I'm so glad to know them! Yesterday also turned out to be the PERFECT day to hold our soiree, because the weather was sublime (the food was also sublime, but I failed to get any pictures of that).(left to right (back row): Stella Cameron, Jill Barnett, Debbie Macomber, Katherine Stone, Me, Kristin Hannah; (bottom row): Christina Dodd, Susan Anderson, Cherry Adair, Jayne Ann Krentz) (Left to right, back row: Katherine Stone, Jill Barnett, Debbie Macomber, Jayne Ann Krentz, Stella Cameron, Kim Fisk, Kristin Hannah; bottom row: Cherry Adair, Susan Anderson, Christina Dodd, Me) Also, I'm happy to announce that The Visitant is both a physical book deal at Amazon for the month of July (up to 50% off), and a Kindle ebook deal (1.99).

A Few Things

Well, I've hit my usual wall at about page 200 of the new manuscript, which means that I'm looking for ways to fill my time before I dive back in to edit and find out what the hell is wrong with it--there's always something, at this stage. Thus ... for you, a rare blogpost!Last month, my family reunited with my long lost cousin (he was only lost to us, apparently), which was really a great time. I hadn't seen him since I was about eight years old, and am so glad he touched base again. See the picture below of that side of my family from the 1960s. See if you can spot me in the crowd! (Hint: I'm the oldest little girl there, and I look just the same, but a bit taller. :)) That's my mother and one of my sisters on the far right.In other news, my years-long search for the perfect sourdough bread recipe is over. Yes, I have found it, and it is delicious. I have to give credit to my developmental editor for cluing me into it, and, because I'm feeling generous today, the link is here on YouTube at French Guy Cooking (it's a recipe for non-bakers, and he takes you through it step by step) and trust me, slapping that dough around vigorously will help with all your anxiety, anger, and tension. Plus you'll have really good bread to eat after.And finally, I will be here on June 2nd, along with many of my favorite people. If you're in the area, check it out! Here's to a wonderful, allergy-free Spring! (yeah, the allergy-free part isn't happening here either).
