Thanks, y'all. I can't claim any credit for it. That was all Buzz. They spoke with me about several ideas but this was completely different. They did listen however when I sent them article on how the real purpose of a modern cover is to look good the size of a stamp.

You know, for Amazon.

Warm regards,

Lucie

There have been so many wonderful posts since I was on last that I want to offer a blanket "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!" to all!

Turns out, the last few weeks of school are more time-consuming than the first few, so I got very little writing done for the entire month of June.

Then came summer. I thought I could get stuff done without child care since my youngest two are now 5 years old. I thought wrong. They are so totally high-energy. They have to be on the go every waking hour and they hardly sleep.

As of today, they are in daycare once a week so I can clean/write/exercise at least a bit again. So, like it or not, I'm back!

Two! And you thought you'd get a chance to write?

You deserve a medal for being able to form a coherent sentence. (Couldn't find a medal smiley. lol)

May your one day a week be full of words, happywritermom. (Cleaning is for rainy days when you're stuck inside with the kids, plus, with two kids under six you don't need exercise. )

I agree happywritermom. When mine were little, I couldn't write at all. Sounds like you're more organized.

I can't wait to edit out all the junk I knew a long time ago needed to be trashed.

CONGRATS Ken!

And Logan, congratulations on finishing. That's the part that stops 90% of all writers I think. You're in the top ten percent now.

This has nothing to do with writing, but I've lost 42 pounds since November. I am finally starting to feel good again! I have 8 lbs more to go to hit my total weight loss goal.

Well done! Been there myself, so I know how great this feels.

New Book Cover
I just received the proof for my new book cover this morning and posted it on my blog. My graphic artist, George Arnold, always does an awesome job.

In case some of you don't know, he is the husband of my friend and fellow author, Carolyn Arnold.

Here is the link:
