Oh so many places you can go to see me this weekend! Tomorrow I'll share links to two of my hardest moments in writing and life. A surrender story and how insecurity about derailed Out of the Frying Pan! But here is enough reading for today.
I have written a piece about decluttering work areas and the freeing that does of the old gray matter at Novel Rocket.
Please visit all these great Out of the Frying Pan supporters. And don't forget to try to win that free copy. If you've already purchased it as so many of you have...thank you! Win it for a friend or family member or donate it to your local library.
Out of the Frying Pan freebies. Going. Going. Gone! Unless you get going, going, going to sign up! Two more blogs on the tour! What I'm loving is that I've forgotten what bits of information land where. We did some serious Q and A's and article writing and sharing bits and pieces over a two or three month period. Now it's kinda like Christmas when we get to officially unwrap the gifts we rewrapped after peeking under the tree. Actually. I never did that. I always loved surprises so much I didn't even want to risk ruining the anticipation. However, some surprises. Yikes. Like in the interview where I discover a typo that was made by ME! Yesterday, Jodie Wolfe posted my Q&A and Michelle appears on Whispers in Purple bright and early this morning. For all the things you never knew you wanted to know about me. Go visit!
I've reached the portion in this blog tour and book marketing mayhem where I feel like I am on an extended stumble. Not that I would ever attempt to wear those shoes or be invited on the cat walk. But the losing it, attempting to regain my balance and bam! I get that. I also get losing it like the anchors. Been there, done that, just never on television! After you are through laughing at this snippet, brace yourselves. I'm going to be posting two and three places a day where you can find us on our blog tour. Watch your step!
You know how ducks just float serenely across the top of the water? That is unless they are heinie-up-face-down. And the only propelling is from their frantic little feet whipping the water under the glassy surface? Yeah. That's how this book tour feels to me. Disclaimer: I kinda don't have a clue. But, I do have someone who has a few clues in opposite areas so we may be appearing as graceful swans floating on a ripple-less pond. Har. Har. Har. At least we are giving a book away and having some fun over at Zu-fer.
Today Michelle is hanging out at Sandra Robbins blog and I'm sharing my pups at QuidProQuills. Come on over and say, "Hi!" Michelle's craziest thing she's ever done is a doozy. I was there. It was very awkward. And you know you want a helping of Gladys and Gertrude. Ha.Ha. Have a fabulous weekend. We are watching hot air balloons, babysitting our little bambino and remodeling all weekend!
1. We have two five star reviews on Amazon!!!! 2. People are letting me know they are receiving their copies!!!! 3. I missed an article deadline that I forgot I had. Oh my goodness. RelzReviews is the best. She's going to plug it in sometime soon. Somehow it got lost in my inbox...sweet mercy. Worst nightmare!!!! 4. Michelle is at Seriously Write today. 5. Kathryn is interviewed by Fern and Zula at Zu-fer. And. Well. I think that is enough for today!!!!
For anyone wanting a copy and willing to try for a twist of fate, here you go. A giveaway. One of two signed copies could become yours with just a lil luck. Go to Michelle's blog to join.

I've heard from early orderers that the book has shipped. Oh my! I personally have yet to hold a copy in my hand. So I'm looking forward to that. Did I mention we'll be doing two book signing events in the Twin Cities in just a few weeks? We have to do a reading and I'm hard at work on what that's going to look like. Michelle gave me an assignment. I've almost figured out how to pull it off. Almost. And we've been invited to speak at a writer's tea in November. Ha. Ha. Ha. Not sure they know what they've done there. I'll be posting more and more about Fern and Zula as the interviews and the guest posts happen on the blog tour and well, etc. Like the one on Friday where I talk about my writing life with beagles. Yeah. That's one to look forward to.
