My oldest is getting closer to having to start figuring out what he wants to do with his life, so naturally, I suggested being a meteorologist. He'd get paid for being wrong most of the time. Okay, I know there is more that goes into predicting the weather, but it was a joke he clearly didn't understand yesterday. We were forecasted to have rain all weekend and never got any of it. I shouldn't have to break out the hoses just yet this early in the year, but I have grass seed that needs to grow.
Between going to a rabies meeting for public health and to see my youngest's science fair, I'm writing this week on Right in Front of You Vol. 2. Can you guess which couple is up for the Miss Polly chopping block this time around?
In other news, I am currently running an ARC paperback giveaway for Whiskey Throttle. My final Moto X book! All you have to do is click HERE to enter. I'll be closing it up on Friday.
Have a great week!

I'm not sure what possessed me to do it, but one winter day we were out at my parents' house I decided to take a picture of their wagon wheels and since I've now captured the same picture during all four seasons. It's difficult to tell because they don't have any other trees other than their evergreens there to really show the change of seasons, but I know. And I'm so happy I did this. Now I'm looking for my next seasonal picture collage to do.
This week I wrap up one of the books coming out later this year and debating about adding the male perspective in the first book coming out next year. I keep going back and forth on that one and each time I think I'm connecting with the male but not.
In book signing news, I've decided to put goodie bags together for readers when they come visit me at my booths. So far I'm going to include bookmarks, a list of all my books in order of reading, a custom ribbon bookmark, and maybe some chocolates. I'm still trying to figure a few things out that won't cost me an arm and a leg to get in stock. 
If you have any ideas feel free to let me know.
Over the weekend I met with a few local authors, establishing a group to meet quarterly. It was a great couple of hours spent getting to know others and forming our community. I hope to see more joining us down the road, so if you're local to Sheridan, WY our next meeting will be at the Fulmer Public Library, August 17th at 3 pm.
That's all I have for the week.
I'll be back Friday with What Brooke Read.
Have a great one!

This past weekend was a tease! Two back-to-back beautiful days of getting to be out in the sunshine and helping my body to create some Vitamin D and now we are back to another system coming in for the next few days. 
At least I got some grass seed spread for both my front and back yards to help fill in spots I've had issues getting grass to grow in the past few years and had a group of teenagers help move our garden.
Today, I'm diving back into second drafts - starting them a whole lot earlier this year to free up my summer - first, I need to work on fixing a book coming out later this year before it gets sent to my incredible editor. 
If you happen to be local to the Sheridan, Wyoming area, this coming weekend there will be an author group meeting at the Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library in the Fulmer Room at 1 pm. If you are able to make it, we'd love to have you! Aspiring or already published, it doesn't matter, all are welcomed!
That's all I have for this week. Have a great one!

With honestly very little snow fall here in my neck of the woods, we are no relying on more rain to help keep us from drying up faster than a popcorn fart as my grandpa would have said. While I was getting grass seed yesterday someone at the store told me they were tired of the snow. I wanted to ask how could this person be tired of it when we barely got any? But I kept my mouth shut.
While it rained yesterday, I spent my time finishing up the first book for 2025 and added nearly 16,000 words to it! I'm both excited and nervous about this book. it's a standalone so I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Now, I'm turning focus to making some corrections on a book coming out this summer while also doing work for my other job.
I hope you have a great week!

I got sidetracked on Friday and over the weekend that I forgot about doing my monthly wrap-up. So rather than a regular blog post, which I don't have much to share right now anyway, I'm doing the wrap-up now.
Some of these books are series, so I'll be adding the links for the series pages rather than the first book and most are on Kindle Unlimited.
