Salutations!
It’s May. I can’t believe it. April was a blur of writing
for me. Today I’m putting the final touches on Forgotten before
sending it off to my editor. My publishing team should have the book out by May
21 and I’m very excited about that.
The few times I’ve poked my head out of my writing cave the
past while have been to deal with the renovations Mike is supervising around
here. We’ve re-done the ceilings, painted, and updated our kitchen sink and
island. It’s all part of my natural inclination to clean & purge before
summer comes. (And then I just want to be outside!)
Part of the purging process this year, is reducing the
number of backlist books I have stored in boxes in the basement. They’re not
doing any good there! So I’m working hard to give away as many as I can.
If you’d like to help me with this, please sign up for my newsletter—I draw names from
that list all the time and send surprise packages of autographed backlist
books.
Or, if you happen to work or volunteer or frequently visit a
senior’s care home, please send me an email through my website and give me the
address of the care home and I’ll send them some books.
Do you get swept up by Spring Cleaning plans? If so, what
are you focusing on this year?
Happy Cleaning & Purging!
