It’s been a long weekend around here...after two fillings last Thursday, I got an infection in one of the teeth, and had to go back in this morning for a root canal. On the upside, this pretty much ensures that the rest of my week can’t really go anywhere but up...

So...news. My newsletter service is closing up shop on January 2^nd, and I’ve had to migrate to a new one. The new service has a lot of nice features, but it’s also a paid plan and sending all the serial chapters that way would be cost prohibitive. So I’ll take care of that myself, and save the list service for the monthly newsletters. The December newsletters will be a little late this week, as I still need to set up new templates, but I’ll be sending out Variety News and Brazen SnakeMonthly later this week.

Also, there are an insane amount of specials going on as far as books go right now – I’ll be doing some too, but not until the week after Christmas. Until then, check out these deals by my buddies:

Brothers in Betrayal (romantic suspense) by Heidi Sutherlin - $.99 cents everywhere (scroll on page for links to Amazon, B&N, etc)

An Elemental Wind (romantic fantasy) by Carol R. Ward - $.99 cents everywhere

All of Michelle Davidson-Argyle’s books (literary/suspense/short stories) - $.99 cents on Amazon

Oh, and my thriller novella is out! Did I mention that here? In any case, if you prefer your suspense sans romance, and with the addition of a few more unattached body parts than my rom. suspense novels, you may want to try Angel Eyes, by one of my alter egos, Alex Westhaven. It’s out in digital format for the introductory price of $.99 cents, and will be out in print by the end of the month.

So...no excuse for running out of things to read, right?

Goal Reports

I didn’t do too badly last week, considering the whole dental debacle at the end. Got all my serial scenes up, and my thriller formatted and published, print copies ofthe Rattles anthologies done, and a few other things that were on the list. All things considered, it wasn’t a bad week for productivity.

This week, more of the same. I need to get some things caught/cleaned up before the new year, so hopefully I can sneak a little of that in too.

Writing

• 4 serial scenes

Business

• Format print version of Angel Eyes

• Formatting job for someone else

• Send author copies of Rattles out

• List some Goodreads giveaways

• Plan out end of year contest/giveaway

Personal

• Finish the Christmas decorating

• Work on getting Halloween put away

• Workout 3x

• Christmas cards

• Send out a few gifts

That’ll do for my week – anything exciting on yours?

I’ll leave you with a little Bruno Mars...who sums up my feelings today rather nicely (though I do have to go back to work after lunch):
