I’m Still Here….

July 14, 2015 By: Patricia

Late news flash: There’s a Goodreads giveaway going on for April J. Moore’s wonderful women’s fiction novel, Bobbing for Watermelons. It closes July 26th, so hurry on over and enter. You’ll find the giveaway here: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/145646-bobbing-for-watermelons

Moore_bobbingforwatermelonsI’ve been a truly delinquent blogger this week. I’m not sure where the week went, but I know I was very, very busy while it zoomed by. Summer tends to be like that for most of us, so I’m sure you understand.

Squeezing in a little time for reading each day is a priority. The current read is Bones and Roses by Eileen Goudge. It has a nice hook at the beginning, an interesting protagonist, and a compelling mystery.

I have something new on my blog this Thursday. My guest is local author/essayist/blogger Katherine Valdez who has been experimenting with ten-second movie reviews. I love that idea, especially when the reviews are pithy and personalized to the reviewer. I think Katherine’s post is entertaining and informative. I hope you like it too.

I have open spots for guests in late August, in September, and beyond. If anyone is interested in one of my Thursday guest spots,  you can let me know by email or in a comment below.

Now I’m off to schedule appointments for estimates from the tree guy, the handy man, the lawn guy…..and prepare my submission for my critique group. So much to do, so little time.

    It’s amazing, isn’t it, Pat, how quickly time gets away? I know it does for me, too. Before you know it, a whole month goes by… Looking forward to your guest tomorrow.

    Summer is flying by. Quick, snarky movie reviews sounds like fun.

      Alex does some of those on his blog too. I love that kind of movie review.

Meet Patricia

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction.
