Countdown to the Release!

Yeeks! The book launches Monday, June 6, which also happens to be my 2nd grader's 8th birthday. Another show of organizational non-brilliance on my part--before tapping out this post I was up to my elbows in strawberry ice cream trying to make my first-ever ice cream cake because I'm out of town the next couple days. Let me just say, there is a reason people shell out for the ones from Cold Stone and B&R.

But back to the matter at hand. First off, congratulations to Brittany H. of Texas and Cassie P. of Wisconsin! Out of 1,547 entrants on Goodreads, those two got their names drawn for free copies of Everliving. I've entered tens of Giveaways on Goodreads.com and not won a single one yet, so those ladies should clearly run out and buy lottery tickets.

If you're looking for your copy and can't make the June 6 or June 10 launch parties, I added an order button to my website and--God willing--will have the Kindle, Nook, and Amazon copies available that day. Let's make it a race to see who can read it the quickest and leave me a review! Some lovely lady whom I don't know already gave it 3-stars on Goodreads. I assume she was rating the cover and my blurb..? Dear Abby from University Book Store Bellevue has her review copy in hand, so if you want to support the world's best bookstore, clamor for it there!

Thank you, faithful readers. Can't wait to hear what you think about this latest fiction foray. One of you asked what happened to the cougar cruise book--it's stalled out on Chapter 6. But never say never. I've already thought of the title for the sequel to it.

See you all next week. I'm off to learn fly-fishing today. Call it research for a future book.
