Year Progressing Fast

It’s March already. Yes, the year is progressing fast. And it’s a bit different from the way it’s been for the past couple of years. I’m actually attending more meetings in person now—including a meeting of the local Sisters in Crime chapter yesterday. Some meetings are still on Zoom, though. And although I will be attending a couple of writing conferences, I won’t be going to as many as I used to. Looks like I’ll be at Bouchercon and the Romance Writers of America National Conference this year. Both will be in Southern California.
And March? It’s a good month for me. The third Shelter of Secrets story for Harlequin Romantic Suspense was just published: UNDERCOVER COWBOY DEFENDER. Two more books coming this year too.
I’ve finished the edits I was working on before, and now I’m writing my fourth Shelter of Secrets story.
Still busy, yes. And my dogs still keep me busy too.
How is the year progressing for you?

The Year is Ending, but Publicity is On The Rise!

It’s December. The year is coming to a close. But it appears that book promotion is ramping up even more!
For one thing, I’m delighted that two of my recent books, my Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel Guardian K-9 on Call, part of my Shelter of Secrets series, plus my—or my pseudonym Lark O. Jensen’s—mystery novel for Crooked Lane, Bear Witness, are both included in a really fun on-line Christmas Gift-Giving Guide featuring quite a few books. Here’s the link.
Also, today, December 6, I’m part of a Facebook party featuring a lot of the authors of the Coltons of Colorado books published this year. Mine, Shielding Colton’s Witness, was published in November. It’s at the Facebook group Coffee, Cupcakes and Contemporaries, and it’ll only be there today, but there are quite a few book giveaways.
And Coffee, Cupcakes and Contemporaries is also hosting the Second Annual Holly Jolly Holiday Party on Friday, December 9. Yes, I’ll be there too. And there may also be prizes.
That doesn’t include all the holiday parties for writers and others I’m invited to. Yes, this is a busy time of the year!
How about for the rest of you? Are you writers involved in any end-of-year promotion? How about parties held by the writers organizations you belong to? And readers, are you watching out for those on-line parties, interacting with writers, and entering contests?
In any case, have fun—and have a wonderful holiday season!
