Bugger.

I have been separated from the other DJ Cooper. It's bad enough being Amy then DJ without there being three of me. I wouldn't want to inflict that one anyone.

[D.J.]

Leading to the mid-40's question of "Who am I?"

I ordered a new writing table for the garden for the summer. I'm assuming we'll get some this year.

[D.J.]

Anyone squeamish? Excuse me while I cackle at your discomfort lol

Sending you hugs and kisses. I had the laser thing to both eyes this December and January and carried on like it was an amputation. You're very brave, Debz.

But laser is destructive to the eye, it's quite possible you were in worse shape with that than I was with a bit of metal sticking out of my eyeball. (I can hear my sister saying 'Deborah, you nasty bugger' or something like that!)

[Carole]

lol. No choice - the viscous or something is separating from my eye wall- They had to laser or run the risk that I was going to tear my retina and do something irreversible. Just what I needed with all the other stuff going on in my life back then.
All better now...sort of.

[D.J.]

I've heard of that. I think there's a risk of that from having my injection. Something like less than 0.1%. I laugh in the face of anything under 1%!

[D.J.]

Squeee! Three people have pre-ordered Missing Remnants (one might be me) and no-one has returned it yet. #EasilyPleased

[D.J.]

That's good, they could have all been me. Possibly. Actually I don't think that would work...

Stunning cover and so right for this time of year.

I’m in love with my cover for my new Young Adult romance novel.
It’s adorable.

P.s. the author quote is a total fake lol.

[R.L.]

Alexis, I loved the cover, too! Can you give a link to who designed it?

[Alexis]

Yay, thanks jean! I designed it myself

Got it and responded. Thank you Carmel.

Nice cover, Alexis!

[Carole]

Cute!! Love that couple.

[Alexis]

Thank you! I really love it too. Now all I need is a good blurb to also make readers click-happy.

[Margaret]

Release day is here! The fourth book in my Misty Lake Series, Anchored in Misty Lake, is available today. It's been a long haul, and I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be at the finish line. The books in the Misty Lake Series are clean, romantic suspense novels set in Northern Minnesota, centering around the McCabe family. I hope you'll take a look.

Oh, and thrilling to me was the fact that BookBub sent out a new release notice. Not that I have many followers, but still exciting.

Available on Amazon http://a.co/gm14roi
Free to read with Kindle Unlimited.

[D.J.]

Congratulations! I saw your tweet and retweeted it.

I voted, Alex, as I thoroughly enjoyed Where There's a Will. Good luck to you!

[D.J.]

Voted

That’s the first one init? I’ve read the others but not the first which is not like me. I don’t do things out of order. Reading Cas at the moment. So many books, so little time.

[D.J.]

I very rarely give up on anything. I doubt you’d ever appear on my dnf list.

[D.J.]

I’m the same. I’ve always had to finish everything I’ve started whether it’s a book or a film. So far this year I’ve been picky. I’m reading you, RL, Carole’s Bulwark, an audio book from Ted, an audio book of Michael’s. I will finish them all. But I can’t guarantee I’ll finish them all this year lol. #SlowReader

[D.J.]

True. I will get there.

[Carole]

When you are an author, reading is like homework- I like to read how other authors tackle subjects or spin a story- I think it helps us find our own voice.

When you write a review about it- you sort of pick up things that make you think about your own work.

[D.J.]

I’ve not been very good with my homework for a while now. It’s very spasmodic. I’m reading more now my vision is compromised. Clearly, I am a masochist.

[Carmel]

Good luck, Alex! And congratulations Margaret!

Thank you very much!

I really like this book I’ve been writing but I started stressing about how to market it, etc, etc.

One of my friends just volunteered to do all the marketing aspects of it for me. (She has a marketing degree.)

So I’m basically in 7th heaven right now.
And feeling really lucky!!

[D.J.]

Fantastic result Alexis. I’m still contemplating what I do with my latest. So far I have Facebook and Twitter. I did a actually fire up mailchimp yesterday so I suppose that’s a good thing.

Thanks! She doesn’t have any experience with book marketing but I trust her, and it’s a relief to have someone to share the burden with in.

Have you joined groups on Facebook?

[D.J.]

I’ve only joined a couple. I need to find a couple more. It takes a lot of time in the end to keep up with everything so I’m trying to join things in a sensible manner.

[Anna]

Wow, Alexis - a dream come true!

[Carole]

When you are ready- I can share of a list of good blog tours and review sites- if you'd like
