All writers know the feeling of anticipation that
comes when we finally have a release date for our new book. After all, we’ve
spent months and months plotting, writing, editing and proofreading our
manuscript. Then, we either send it off to our publisher or we begin the
process of self-publishing. Either way, it’s a long road.
So, when we finally get to the end of that road, we
feel an unbelievable relief but also a lot of apprehension. Will people buy our
book? Will they like it? Will they review it? The list goes on and on and I’m not even mentioning
the time and effort we put forth to promote our book, which starts before its
publication and continues, well, forever.
Which is why I’m thrilled to tell you that this is
going to be a very exciting month for me! Here’s a list of this month’s events:
On March 6th, I will be a guest on author Marilyn Levinson’s blog. My topic is “How one book became a series.” makeminemystery.blogspot.com
March 11th, I will be signing and selling copies of Marnie Malone, my fifth Malone mystery, at Colerain High School in Cincinnati.
On March 12th, my post on author Madeline (M.M.)
Gornell’s blog will give an overview of my Malone mystery series and, of
course, I talk about my new book. https://mmgornell.wordpress.com/
March 13th I'll be featured on author Marja McGraw's blog. "Just in time for St. Patrick's Day."

March 27 - author Jean Henry Mead has invited me to do a post on Mysterious Writers. My topic is "Why I became a mystery writer." http://mysteriouspeople.blogspot.com
March 17th – St. Patrick’s Day. I’m
including this date because Ann and Marnie, the two main characters in my
series, are of Irish descent. And, the holiday has a very special significance
in Marnie Malone.
Until next time:
“May
the road rise up to meet you.
May
the wind be always at your back.
May
the sun shine warm upon your face;
the
rains fall soft upon your fields
and
until we meet again,
May
God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
