Marketing Stress
I’ve been reading more marketing books lately. The self-publishing market has changed so much in the few years since I first started self-publishing, and I haven’t released anything in several years because of those bad bouts of writer’s block,so I wanted a refresher course on ebook marketing.
I’m not very good at marketing AT ALL, and quite frankly I don’t like it very much, but I know I have

One-Skein Pyrenees Scarf knitting pattern
I got into using antique patterns when I was making the scarf my hero wears in my Regency romance, The Spinster’s Christmas.
I wanted to do another pattern which I think was in use in the Regency period, the Pyrenees Knit Scarf on pages 36-38 of The Lady's Assistant for Executing Useful and Fancy Designs in Knitting, Netting, and Crochet Work, volume 1, by Jane Gaugain, published in 1840. She

Update on my writing
I hope everyone is doing well and not getting too stir-crazy from the shelter in place.
Things are not that much different for me since I work from home, although it’s kind of nice having Captain Caffeine working from home, too. I try not to bother him when he’s working so we kind of ignore each other most of the time, but we usually eat lunch together, which is really nice. When he was working

Shincha Genmaicha green tea review - MastersTeas.com
Sadly, this is the last of the teas I’m reviewing for MastersTeas.com. It’s been so fun to taste the different teas, especially since they’re such high quality and have such complex flavors.
Today I’m reviewing Shincha Genmaicha.
From the website:
Our 2020 Genmai Cha is a lovely early spring version, with fine roasted and puffed rice perfectly in balance with the sweet, tender young leaves.

Christian lifestyle podcast in Japanese
My friend Audrey Appenzeller is friends with some missionaries in Japan. They told her about this podcast, which she passed on to me:
”They also mentioned that a fellow Pioneers worker to Japan is currently in the US and started a Christian lifestyle podcast in Japanese. If you know people who might be interested, feel free to pass along the link below. This person is planning to release a new

Camy’s Worsted Cotton Comfortable Skirt with Lace Edging knitting pattern
I made my original Comfortable Cotton Skirt with a simple eyelet round at the bottom, but this one has a simple antique garter stitch lace edging, “Edging to Trim the Body and Sleeves” on page 43 of the book New Guide to Knitting and Crochet, published in 1847. You can download a free ebook copy of the book here. The edging was originally to trim a Baby’s Knit Body, but I have no idea what that

Remember by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]
Okay, full disclosure, Sawano Hiroyuki is my #1 favorite composer, so I buy almost everything he’s released, even if I have to order the CDs from Amazon Japan. But his RE/MEMBER album is actually on iTunes, which I was pretty stoked about.
This song, Remember, is what I’ve been listening to a lot the past couple weeks. There’s something just really upbeat and happy about it that’s made me feel
