Back from Vacation

It’s the first day back after a week in Florida with my family and my sister-in-law’s family. It rained a lot which meant there weren’t as many beach/pool days as I’d hoped, but we had a lot of family time. Lots of laughter and food and rainy day activities. Overall, it was a great time and I’m so glad we were in a group. It meant I actually got a bit of a rest from the twins at times.

Getting into the swing of things today has been an uphill battle. I forgot where I was in the current narrative so I had to go back and remind myself. Typing seems to elude me. So many mis-capitalized/misspelled words. I know it’s just a first draft but I still need to have some idea of what I was trying to say.

I spent the morning taking care of all the miscellaneous admin stuff that popped up. Good news — there will be an audio book for Botanical Mischief. As well as a print book. Both are in production. Don’t ask me for release dates. I don’t have them. The print will be as soon as the cover is done. The audio as soon as the narrator and publisher finish on their end.

It seems that Gus and her story were well received among readers. That makes me happy because now I can go forward with plans for book 2. I kind of think I need to build up Gus and her siblings a little more before circling back to Kira and her story. I’m still kind of playing with story lines but right now she’s taking up a lot of real estate in my head.

Thanks to everyone who gave Gus a chance. She kind of snuck into my heart and took it over before I realized so it’s good to see her have the same effect on others.
