A Very Mary Christmas $0.99 Sale

I updated my book promotions page yesterday. (You can find that page in the menu at any time.) This is just a repeat of that information, but I wanted the sale to be on my main blog page. I’d hate for anyone to miss out on a sweet deal like this.

Fred and Whit are two of my favourite characters. Such troublemakers!

Price reduced to $0.99* from November 20 until November 24, 2020.

Since the gentleman Mary loves does not seem to return her feelings, there is only one thing on Mary’s Christmas list: escape her mother by going to town.

Nicholas Hammond would like nothing better than to enjoy a peaceful Christmas without any additional bills to pay or disasters to clean up.

However, Nicholas’s brother, Alfred, and Alfred’s friend Whit are not about to give either Mary or Nicholas what they want for Christmas. Instead, they are scheming to see the two married. (Hopefully, everyone survives their machinations.)

November 2020’s Saturday Broadsheet

Happy November! We had our first snowfall of the season this week, and the days are growing so much shorter. I purchased a Happy Light for myself this year. I always seem to miss the sunshine as the greyness of November settles in, so I thought I would see if some artificial sunshine would help me miss the sun less. 

Below, you’ll find all my news for the month which includes news of a couple of novelette releases and an update on the Christmas story I am trying to get done before Christmas, as well as a few other things.

Currently, I am working on three different stories:

The Saturday Broadsheet (September 5, 2020)

Summer has come to an end for us at Brown Cottage because my husband has gone back to work and school will be starting. (In addition to having his own cleaning company, he works for the school board as a custodian.)

Last Friday, we took a day trip to Victoria Park in Truro, NS. On the way, we stopped at Mastodon Ridge to play a round of mini-golf. I came close to beating my husband but, as always, he won. 🙂

They have a Flinstone’s style car in front of a Flinstone style house. We’re sitting in that car for the selfie picture. My husband is holding my hair since it was WINDY on the hill and my hair kept blowing into my face and his. 

We’ve had a very dry summer, so the falls at Victoria Park were no more than a trickle. However, the walk to get to them was lovely. It was a sunny and warm but not hot day — perfect weather actually. 

And now, we are settling into the school year work hour routine. This means I will be starting to do a few more posts on my blog than I was over the summer. However, I learned to love the less intense schedule, and plan to do my best to keep from becoming overly intense again. I’ll tell you more about that below. 

Let’s get on to all the writing and publishing news.

The Saturday Broadsheet (August 2020)

We are still enjoying some hot temperatures here. It has been a very warm summer for us, but those temps make our Saturday evening beach walks quite enjoyable. This picture is from this past Saturday’s walk. We checked out Conrad’s Beach. This vantage point if looking back to where our car is parked — waaaaaaay over there near the white house. Because this area with it’s sand dunes is a breeding ground for the Piping Plover (a small shorebird), everyone crosses from where they parked on the road across the boardwalk and to the sandy beach beyond. The beach is worth the trek.

My husband starts vacation from one of his jobs next week, so maybe we’ll be able to venture further afield to walk on some beaches that aren’t so close to where we live. That could be fun. 

But enough of that. Let’s get on with all the writing, publishing, and book news you have opened this post to find. 🙂 

Writing News

The only writing project I have worked on to any extent since my July update has been Her Convenient Forever. I thought it was going to end at chapter fifteen which I hit last week. However, it hasn’t ended yet. 🙂 Therefore, I have not started any serious work on any other writing project. 

In editing news, I have gotten my manuscript back for Protecting Miss Darcy and will be starting the final read-through while making corrections this week. I’m still working towards having it ready to publish by September 3. 

That reminds me! There was one other thing that I got written since I last posted. I wrote an epilogue for Protecting Miss Darcy / the Marrying Elizabeth series. I’ll schedule that to post this coming Thursday.
