September 2025

Greetings!

September is here meaning Hootin An Hollarin. The craft fair starts the third Thursday of the month at 530 p.m. with music and pageantry that night and full on fair Friday and Saturday. There will be demonstrations and games as well as the craft displays. I have the same booth as I’ve had since I’ve started doing the fair. It’s convenient to both food and the necessity(porta potty). I have pubbed two books since the last fair so perhaps I may get a sale or two from that. There will also be keychains and bookmarks I’ve done. Hopefully we will have a good turnout.

One of our female ferals had a litter of kittens under my trailer where a pipe is closed in with insulation. I think that she was there when she had went into labor and decided to keep them there, at least until she can scout a better location near by. 5 little shrimps. They’ve been there for about two weeks now, maybe longer as I wouldn’t have noticed them except that they cried that day. Looks to be 3 tabbies and 2 greys as far as I can tell. I’ll try to snag a pic of them when mama leaves.

New month, new book club book. This one is a paranormal romance I think so it shouldn’t be too much of a struggle for me to read as I like that kind of book.

I’ve been following a youtube channel guy who’s renovating a house in the middle of a forest overseas and a woman in the UK who bought a rundown house at auction to renovate. So I haven’t really been writing or reading much. My muse is just not in a hurry right now since I’ve finished writing that book. I think the intensity it pushed tired it out. But I plan to get two novellas done before the end of the year.

This one’s gonna be short. The ferals are waiting for their lunch outside in the shade between my door and where the food bin is. Stay tuned for the next installment.

May 2025

Almost half way through the year. April indeed was wet but the flowers have already bloomed and some have come and gone.

We’ve been sitting outside on the porch in the evenings for a bit and doing odd ‘projects’ here and there before dark. Now that it doesn’t get dark until after 8p.m. The ferals have been hanging around napping while we sit on the porch and some of the females seem to have had their kittens. Now that it’s warm the cats don’t eat as much. There’s leftovers after they go through and I’ve cut down to 3 feedings a day.

Time to start reading the next book club book. The other members read mine and gave me fair reviews. I can’t afford an editor and I usually go for a proofreader but sometimes even they miss things. However I think I didn’t have either for Bone, just spellchecker. So I agree about the grammar errors. When I read a book if I get immersed in it I don’t even see the typos.

I have not finished my main WIP. My muse is adding things in, fleshing out some more. It’s gonna be published this month one way or another. I have two novellas I want to get out by September. This WIP is a little different than my other books. Probably why my muse is being so fickle with it.

I have an in-person event this first Saturday of the month at Hardenville, MO. Triple Treasures Market Place. I also signed up for Hootin An Hollarin at Gainesville, MO in the third week of September. These are probably the only 2 I will be going to as funds are short. Unless I get a lot of sales this month. And I do mean a lot. 🙂

I have picked a cover to do this month. The cover for book 3 of the Bone Whisperer series. That is if I can. Money isn’t a sure thing right now.

The clock says it’s lunchtime and so does my stomach. Stay tune for the next installment.
