Friday Five for March 11, 2016


1. Today is my final guest post with The Really Real Housewives. It's been such a fun week with those awesome ladies. I've been talking about geek parenting on a budget. Today we discuss SCIENCE!

2. I'm working on book #4 of my Totem series, and it's sounding more like a contemporary romance than a paranormal one. Where's all the creepy stuff? My protagonist is fighting hard to make it all about her. Sure, the theme is discovering her true self, but still, I need to drop more supernatural scares in there.

3. The final edits are done for the second book in my Sasquatch Susies series, Big Longing. The release date is April 1st. No joke! The third book in the series is my favorite, so I'm eager for my editor to delve in to that one.

4. Next week is my son's spring break. The first of two weeks. Yup. Wouldn't you have loved two weeks off as a kid? Since we haven't had many snow days, the kids have two weeks off. I'm making playdates and writing a list of things to do. This means I won't be around as much. So please forgive me if I get behind in visiting everyone.

5. Finally a big thank you to everyone who participated in the MEME Blog Hop. It was so much fun! And you made it difficult to judge. Plus a huge thanks to my amazing co-hosts Tara Tyler and C. Lee McKenzie. Here are the winners:

  1. April 1st? Wow, this release will be here before any of us know it. How exciting! And LOL, I can relate far too well to a project masquerading as a different genre. (I've been drawing lots of cutesy art for a WIP that's supposed to be horror, whoops.) Hope your protagonist stops being so stubborn soon!

    And that's incredibly cool how your son is getting two whole weeks off for spring break. I was never that lucky growing up, LOL. Perfectly understandable why this would distract you from the blogosphere. Have fun!

  4. We used to have two weeks off but not in a row - one in February (Energy Conservation Week, anyone? Or am that I old?) then another week around Easter.

    I bet you'll have lots of fun with your little guy!
