Serials and Scenarios ~ Hornswoggle Away!



Get a chance to hornswoggle a copy here and here!!!! 

Serials and Scenarios ~ Another Day, Another Blog Tour!

Goodness. Things will slow down a little. I had four right on top of each other. 

Stitches Thru Time asked for an article so I provided a foodie bent one. Zula is claiming the recipes as hers and that's just fine and dandy. 

Highlights of the weekend bookwise? 

Finding out we were in the Top 100 Amazon inspirational e-books. Now, I don't want to brag but being number 28 and currently beating TWO of Karen Kingsbury's books is pretty exciting for me...

Getting a copy in the mail, finally. So I was able to hold my book. 

My cute baby grandson holding the kindle version!!! 

First autograph!! Autographing my mom's copy. That seems only right since a) birthed me b) supported the crap outta me in my early writing years! 

Getting a "YOU DID IT" proud of you card from my brother and his lovely family!

Having a friend order her copy on her phone right in front of me after church and teasing me about being famous the whole time. 

Highlights of the weekend? Family dinner last night! I love my famtastics!!!! Laughter is the song of my people and it does a soul good! 

Electrical being placed in my new bedroom. All rooms but my current bedroom's content moved to my current bedroom and I have plenty of room to walk. That's huge. We had three bedrooms full of stuff. Now it's manageable and most of it has places to go in our new "Wing" I'm going to call our section of the house the Lower East Wing. LEW for short. Ha. Ha. Ha. And we purchased the flooring and the new windows and a bit of drywall was nailed into place. Reconfiguring a doorway so that other things can happen. Hopefully cleaning a two-story house for next to the last time. I now will be fully responsible for three rooms and halfway responsible for two. I LIKE IT! 

Giving tours of LEW.

Serials and Scenarios ~ Saturday Shock and Surrender!

Shock! A post on a Saturday? 


I told you I'd be a posting like a beast. 

I got real vulnerable with two bloggers on my #OutoftheFryingPan blog tour. 

Here is the cleaned up, but still pretty raw story of surrendering my marriage to God's plan. I don't know if you'll need tissue but you might. I was a stubborn woman and God is a good, good God!

And then I shared my season of doubt, insecurities, and basically poo-poo crybaby pity party during the writing of Out of the Frying Pan! 

There is still a chance to win a copy of #OutoftheFryingPan.

Serials and Scenarios ~ And Where Did this Idea Come From????


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. 

And I'm interviewed at the lovely Debra Butterfield's blog. Where I tell about the birth of Zula. Well kind of. 

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.

Serials and Scenarios ~ Blog Tour Bonus!

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!

Serials and Scenarios ~ Epic Stumbling

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!

Serials and Scenarios ~ Yeah. Flapping Duck Feet and Tossing Things out There



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.
