While I was away ...

You know that feeling when you leave on a short trip and come back ... and it feels like you've been gone forever? (No pun intended!) I totally just had that! Went to a wedding in Las Vegas for a family member, and let me tell you ... Las Vegas, Nev. and Portland, Ore. could not be more different. It was sweltering, perfectly clear and in the 100s in Vegas; it was raining and in the 60s or 70s when I got back to Portland. Two totally different planets.

While I was gone, the August blog tour with SupaGurl marched on with reviews and guest posts (including my tentative casting of For Ever as a movie). The reviews were (mostly) good, though I've found over and over that you can't please everyone -- and if you try, it won't work out!

To those of you who "liked" For Ever on Facebook -- you guys are awesome and I hope you're looking forward to Never. By the way, my test reader is about five pages from finishing and says the sequel is (even) better than the first.

Here's a recap of the goings on while I was in Vegas:

 The Book Lover's Report (long-ish interview)

For The Love of Film and Novels (review and guest post with For Ever's fantasy cast)

***Singing and Reading in the Rain*** (review)

Well, whoopeeyoo! Another review

Happy Monday! SupaGurl's blog tour is still in full swing, on top of For Ever being featured as Ebook of the Day over at Kindle Nation Daily.

Today, Dianne over at her blog whoopeeyoo is sharing a review of For Ever. I definitely had a little giggle at her comment about Wren's name and a character from Pretty Little Liars, considering I've never read or watched the series -- and only found out about it like a week ago. Yes, I live under a rock! I'm going to have to check it out now.

In other news ...

By the end of this week, I'm hoping to have the paperback wrapped up, and I will most likely have the first set of edits for Never, For Ever's sequel, in my hands. I just hope they don't make me scream. That will most likely mean that I will have teasers to share. ...

Andrea Heltsley's review of For Ever

Woo! Deep breath. For Ever is at not one but two blog sites today! Andrea Heltsley (author of Dissolve, Dreamwalker, and Dancing With Death) gave her review today.

 

Not even two-thirds of the way through the tour!
