Populated (Tales from the Sheep Farm Book 2)

Cover for Populated, written by Susan Helene Gottfried

I asked myself, “What’s a whirlwind?” and Populated came immediately to mind. So here you go. Populated‘s our book of the day. Although really, any book from the Trevolution would work, too, since Trevor is, himself, a whirlwind in ways Delia would never want to be.

Hoo boy, calling today a whirlwind is probably being kind. I’ve got my six-month ophthalmologist checkup (If you missed the story, go here, but there are a lot of posts about it that follow). Then I get to come home and pack up for the Block Northway farmer’s market, where Doug Solter and I will be hanging out, talking to shoppers, and selling lots of our books. And in between, the first box from my pre-Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival stock-up is due to arrive. I ordered 95 books, y’all, and I’m worried that, even added to what’s currently here, it won’t be enough. 80,000 people are supposed to be in attendance!

editing

I finished that amazing first in a new series yesterday, as planned, and got it back to the author. Hoo boy, it’s a good one.

Today, in between all this, I have to invoice the author who’s up next and hopefully start on that, but I’m also working on some cover copy for another client. And mind you, I have to leave the house a little before 1:30!

writing

Slowly clawing away at that deficit in my word count on Authentically Alyssa. I’m a bit worried something happens too fast, but that’s what revision is for. This draft is for getting it all down.

I woke up to royalties today! Lots of library loans, and you know I love those!

Legacy has been doing exceptionally well at Kobo. If you’re a reader who picked it up out of the series order, let me know how it works as a series intro, will you? I suspect it’ll work.

And yeah, my book order is starting to arrive. Whee!

Book of the Day

As always, I’m keeping this short, and not just because stuff’s piling up on me faster than you’d believe possible. In the time it’s taken me to write this post, I have three new tasks and issues to chase down.

So book my editing services, buy my books (thank you to those who do!) and stuff my Ko-fi to help me cover operational expenses here because right now, I feel like I’m drowning in this whirlwind of a day!
