Mystery at the Reunion, Website Updates, Mice: Monday Blog Post
Newest News:
Had
a really good interview with a military woman who was stationed in Afghanistan!
I received excellent details about the living arrangements, how and when people
could leave the compounds, what weapons they carried, all sorts of stuff. Now
mulling over how to use that information. Mystery at the Reunion. Yes, it will
be out. Probably early 2020.
Website
updates. Spent some time last week in my website trying to figure out where the
blog signup button went. Can’t find it anywhere though the newsletter links
still work. I cleaned up the social media share buttons, so that’s a plus. Then
spent a lot of time looking for a widget or a plug-in to get my blog sign-ups
back. No luck on that. I’ll have to find a web admin group and ask them what they
use.
I
go to jury duty tomorrow!
Mouse
patrol! Taping up the under the car duct covers has eliminated our mice in the
car problem. I’m pretty sure they’re still in the garage though. Ugh.
Giveaways:
The Summer Giveaway is open! There are 33 participating authors with 33 book prizes and 33 summer gift prizes. The Grand Prize is $100 in Paypal cash. This is certainly a giveaway to get involved with.
Where will I Be?:
I don’t have anything on my calendar until the December Mesa Book Festival. The date is December 14th from 10am – 5pm and the location has changed to 225 E Main St, Mesa. This is the Benedictine University, for those familiar with Mesa. I am sharing a booth space with the wonderful Marsha Ward. The site only promotes the author registering the table, so you’ll only see Marsha’s name, not mine. But I promise, I’ll be there. You can find all the details and a map at https://anthology.org/category/mesa-book-festival/.
On
the other hand, if something juicy comes up, because it’s a long time between now
and December, I’ll let you know. Do you know of an event where you’d like to
see me? I’d love to know about it. Contact me here and say the word.

Newest Book Release:

It up on Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, (Direct link doesn’t work, copy the URL and paste it into your browser, or go directly to Kobo.com and search for Gold Dreams, Connie Cockrell), and Smashwords. The print version is available on Amazon. You can also see all my books on http://conniesrandomthoughts.com/my-books-and-other-published-work/.

Thanks in advance.
