Celebrating Good Reads and New Projects

Hi, there, I haven't been very active on this blog since my eye surgery, but the eye is healing, and it's time to celebrate again.

But first, this Celebrate the Small Things blog hop is co-hosted by Lexa Cain at: Lexa Cain,  L.G. Keltner @ Writing Off The Edge , and Tonja Drecker @ Tidbits Blog. You can go to any of these sites to add your name to the links, if you want to participate. I recommend it, because it's always fun to see positive news that others are celebrating, and to share your own as well. 

So, what am I celebrating? 
1. I'm starting a new project--one I can't talk about yet, but it will keep me busy all through the month of July and possibly August. 

2. Meanwhile, during my "recuperation" period, I've been reading lots of good books, and "filling the well."

3. And, three new beta readers read through my latest mystery rewrite and, apart from a few small tweaks, thought it was good. I'm letting it "rest" for now, while I mull over the comments, but August I plan to go through it with those tweaks and then send it out. 

How about you? Do you have any projects you can't talk about yet? Have you read some good books lately? (Names, please. These days I do a lot of my reading based on recommendations.) Do you give your manuscripts time to rest between rewrites?

Celebration Time Again - A Good Book and a School Visit Coming Up

Friday seems to arrive pretty fast these days, as I run around arranging book signings, reviews, etc. for my book that's being published June 15th, Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls.

My celebrations this week:
1. A terrific book I read - Tangled Skeins, by David Marcum. I'll be reviewing it next week, so please come back to learn more about this good read. (Pssst - it involves Sherlock Holmes.)

2. A school visit that's coming up in April. I'll be going from classroom to class room to read from my book and sign copies.

Celebrate the small things is a blog hop co-hosted by L.G. Keltner @ Writing Off The Edge, Katie @ TheCyborgMom, and Lexa Cain @ Lexa Cain .  
Mosey on over to Lexa Cain's blog to see all the links and to add your links to the list. Have a great day.
