Countdown to In Hot Water – and more
Because family comes first, a Happy Groundhog Day, and the (gulp) 47th anniversary of our engagement. And now, on with the countdown.

Booklover’s Bench is starting a new format for its weekly Let’s Talk posts, and I’m the kickoff author. We’re keeping things simple by asking a question for discussion. Please take a moment to pop over and add your thoughts about following an author into a new series. I can’t imagine why I chose that question. Would Triple-D Ranch be enough of a clue?

Marketing – BookBub et al
Getting books noticed is one of the major challenges in publishing, whether you’re with a traditional publisher or are going it alone.
