JANUARY NEWS!

Hey, everyone! I am coming to you again from The Library here at Maison Mac in Texarkana and it's already been an interesting start to 2021, eh?

Are certain celebrities dead or not? Vaccine drama? Kim & Kanye? Social media bans? And a coup! Wow!

Well, here's a view of the new book in paperback form - isn't that cool? Special thanks to my mom for the red heart there in the bottom right-hand corner for a dash of color. My author copy arrived at the house 2 days before Christmas so I didn't get to see it until we got home from NOLA but I must say it looks ultra cool. I'm also very happy with the formatting. I've only found one extra page that doesn't belong and two or three teeny punctuation errors but all-in-all, it's great.

I had started back with daily posts on Instagram but there was a very minor surgical procedure (Patient is doing quite well by the way!) AND a new semester has started so that always means things are busy, but now it's time to do some promotion again for 10000 Lovers in One. I'm already getting some great feedback - so thanks so much to those readers! Be sure to leave a review and a rating on Amazon.

I also want to send a huge thank you to the reader who gave a 1-star rating to Rockin' Heaven Down Volume I - no review though. I'm sorry it wasn't your cup of tea but that's perfectly okay!

Seven-Day Free Promotions for both books will be coming up in February - just in time for Valentine's Day - and those promotions are in honor of someone who really didn't even like Valentine's Day but she did love the story as its very first reader so these are for her!

Someone asked me about Book #3, as this one is pretty open-ended, and I'm thinking that will be later this year, around the fall or even Christmas. It is in progress though. But before that I have an idea for a new series that will be announced sometime in March and I hope to have that ready by the summer time - hopefully - and I think folks will like it.

In the meantime be sure to check out 10000 Lovers and its predecessor, Rockin' Heaven Down, and if you're interested in my very first publication, it's only available in paperback: Tribute to Orpheus, which is a collection of stories and essays on music and musicians published by Kearney Street Books. It's also available on Amazon and my contribution is found on page 206.

I'll be back to posting daily starting on January 18, starting with Soundtrack Sunday. Thanks for your time, everyone, enjoy your day off on Martin Luther King Day (if you had one!) and Happy Readin' and Rockin', y'all! Bye!
