Greetings all!!! Yes, it’s been a few weeks since my last update… Lots of behind-the-scenes things going on with writing, marketing and design… There will be some changes coming to the weekly update, most notably that it will no longer be weekly. The biggest reason for this? I’m going to be setting up a newsletter. Now, I don’t have an exact date for when it will be officially launching, but starting with the next edition “Weekly Update” will become simply “Gaby’s Books & Muchness”, which in turn will become a regular part of my monthly newsletter once it’s up-and-running. it will also still be published on my website blog as well.
Anywho, here’s a quick look at what’s new and what’s coming up…
I’ll be jumping back into Rapid Fire takeovers on Facebook this month, with takeover in my reader group on Sunday, February 10th. I’ll also be joining in for RFTOs on 2/18 and 2/20 as well… head over to Facebook and like my author page to keep up with my appearance and goings-on.
There’s been a change to the scheduling of the monthly Live Writes at the Bistro as well. Formerly, the popular “Genre Roulette”-style live write took place on the first Wednesday of the month. Last month, I switched to the second Wednesday to avoid the New Year’s holidays and I’ve decided to stick with the change. So our next live write will be on Wednesday, February 13th, at 8PM EST. I’m also changing up the format this year with some specialty writes and the 2/13 one will be the first… In honor of the Valentine’s Day holiday eve, it will be a night of Romance Roulette… Romance will be a part of the genres on the wheel tonight, so look forward to a night of comedy, suspense, mystery, etc., all with romantic themes. It’ll be fun and unique, so don’t miss it!!!
Writing news: I’m currently 2/3 through the next Kate Gardener Mystery (#7), and hope to finish it up very soon. This one won’t be coming out for a few months. Then I’ll be diving into outlining and writing up the next two stories in my historical fantasy/ alternate history serial.
I’ll be participating in a Valentine’s Day Hop this coming week. Stay tuned to my author page to catch my post, enter to win some sweet prizes, and be sure to check out all the other fantastic authors who are participating.
That’s it for this week. I’ll catch you guys again in a month for more Muchness, more Books, more all kinds of goodies… Until then, catch-up with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Have a great night, a great week, and a great month to come everyone. Peace Love & Muchness to you all!!!
