It was a relief that I didn’t have to worry about knocking their socks off.
In reader news, some of you may have already noticed this while doom scrolling on Instagram. Business accounts recently received a verification notification. If we get verified, we can now add links directly to our reels. Some of you are going to have a little less friction purchasing from your favorite authors. From me, not so much. I don’t have the kind of money to spend on social media, so I’m sticking with the good old “Link in Bio” for now. However, many authors are likely to give it a try. Keep this in mind before you take your Ambien.
Commercial time. For the next 3 weeks, I’ve got 5 ebooks marked down to 99 cents in the Smashwords store. This is all about providing engaging summer reading for your kids. Just reading a few books over the summer will do a lot to keep their minds sharp. Direct link to my store profile along with promo pic below. Thanks! 👇👇👇
On the writing front, we are at the bottom of page 37 of our latest jokes for kids project. Can’t believe there are only a little over 12 pages to go! Squash Light is going a little better than expected, but that’s how discovery writing often goes. Chapter 4 is drafted and were a little under 3,000 words. I’m doing something fun, by the way, with this WIP over in the podcast section. I’ve got a little “Squash Light Book Club” going as the story progresses. Each episode comes with a fun illustration of the chapter being discussed. Yes, it’s all AI generated, but it’s also pretty good too. Have a listen; it’s free.
Finally, it’s Mother’s Day. Call your mom if you can. I’m gonna text mine because I’m losing my voice due to all this darned pollen.
Until next time, God Bless!
