Doesn’t He Know About Shack?

From Marcia at facebook.com/theauthorswife:

Whether you’re new to my page or a long time reader, you know that one of the things that I try to do here is tell you some of the fun and funny things that happen in our lives. And if you take a look back, you’ll see that I include a photo to help illustrate the story behind the post. Although the photos are usually candid, there are times when I do actually have to stage the picture—in order to get what I really want you to see.

With Brian’s newest book coming out in just a few short weeks, I thought the time would be right to post a picture of one of our cats perusing the book…just as I’ve done with the previous books. And with our Minnesota temperatures still well below zero (yes, that’s Fahrenheit), today seemed the perfect day to work on staging that purrfect picture. But as you can see…our cat had his own idea of how to spend the cold, winter afternoon.

So, after several hours of randomly trying to entice him into posing for me, I knew we were gonna have to put off his “photo shoot” till another day.

Be sure to check back again…just to see if I have any better luck with my next try…!

Christmas Time is Here

Although December can be a slower time in the book business, it’s a busy time for many folks…us included…as we prepare for the upcoming holidays. Visiting with friends, planning gatherings, sending greeting cards, finding that “purrfect” gift for family members and friends…all while bundled up against the cold winter chill…make it an exciting time. And although Brian is still busily writing away on the next book during the days, in the evenings we like to find time to watch some of our favorite holiday television programs. For Brian, it’s Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang. For me, it’s not the holidays until the Grinch carves the “rare roast beast.”

What’s your annual “must watch” holiday show…?

WEST 57: Now on Kindle Unlimited

For the first time ever, my novel WEST 57 is available in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program. So if you’re a member, you can put it on your device and read it for free!

WEST 57 is nothing like my thrillers. It’s dramatic and intriguing, but also filled with humor and romance. It’s a follow-up to a book called THE AGENCY that I co-wrote several years ago under the pseudonym “Ally O’Brien.” Both books feature female first-person narrators and settings in New York and London.

We got great reviews from critics and readers alike. People Magazine called THE AGENCY “entertaining…witty…a delight,” and Romantic Times gave it four stars and called it “one fantastic novel.” Booklist said WEST 57 had “just the right mix of zany humor and sexy romance.”

So if you want to explore the “other side” of Brian Freeman, this is your chance! Here I am, channeling my inner woman.
