It’s All About the Book

December 22, 2017 By: Patricia

Sometimes, it seems there’s nothing else going on in my life  except for the book. Then I think about other little things I’ve done…like the day I baked two batches of banana-blueberry muffins and five batches of traditional Party Mix.

Today I went to the library and stocked up on movies so I can do a combo DVD and streaming Netflix binge for the next four days (I’ll be binge-watching the last season of Longmire and feeling sad when it’s over).

I might even bake a couple of batches of cookies, just for fun. I have the best recipe for a sour cream sugar cookie! Should I share?

Then there is the reading I’ll do between movies…I’m finishing Dust, the third book in the Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey. The stack of novels I want to read next is too long to list here. Rest assured, I have a lot to choose from.

The rest of my life these days is all about the book.

The ebook for Wishing Caswell Dead is now available on amazon.com and the hardcover should be shipping very soon. I’ve listed my guest blog posts, announcements, and the RMFW podcast below. If you especially enjoyed any of these promo efforts, please share the link on whatever social media site you prefer.

GETTING THE WORD OUT: Social media and I have an uneasy encounter … by Allan J. Emerson

May 28, 2015 By: Patricia

I think there’s a basic conflict for many writers, when it comes to marketing. By nature, we tend not to relish the role of salesperson. But nowadays, it’s not enough to write the best book you can. You have to publicize it too, even if your lack of skill at doing so leaves you feeling …Read More

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. Read More…
