2013 New Year’s Resolutions
I am not a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. I feel they are made to be broken. To set me up to fail. I usually make mid-January birthday resolutions instead. Don’t ask me why, they work better.
However, this year, this year I shall overcome my fear of NYRs! In fact, I’m posting some right now. If I don’t achieve them, you can light me on fire. Okay, just my pants. While I’m not wearing them. Preferably when I’m nowhere near them. Like, they are outside and I’m inside. Like, I’ve taken them to the dump and returned home already. Like, you can light them on fire at the dump. Like?
Just don’t be stalkerish about it.
Cindy’s 2013 New Year’s Resolutions
#1 Finish my Galapagos travel posts. Before I go somewhere else.
#2 Sort through and shred the nine file storage boxes full of documents from my writing “career” that have been sitting in my office for the last 18 months. Don’t break the shredder this time. Remember to oil it evey 20 minutes. If I break it again, burn the frickin’ boxes without sorting them.
#3 Don’t dig ONE more file box of old documents out of crawlspace until 2014 minimum. I don’t care if it says, “Shred in 2007” on it.
#4 Put pictures from Peru trip into photo albums. I am only three years behind this one. Three years behind on photo albums is pretty darn good, wouldn’t you agree?
#5 Think about creating photo albums from Galapagos. Only THINK about it. Don’t actually do it. I don’t want to get a reputation as an overachiever!
#6 If I must, put G.I. pictures on nice big digital frame instead.
#7 Postpone re-hanging pictures in living room following the painting that ended a month ago as long as humanly possible.
#8 Do the laundry twice without complaining.
#9 Eat two more chocolate bars per month.
#10 Make plans to paint the hallway, the bedroom, the wainscoting, the office, and don’t follow through on them.
#11 Don’t fall through big hole in sundeck—same sundeck husband keeps promising to rebuild “this year.”
#12 Stop buying salt ‘n vinegar chips every other Tuesday. Change to Wednesdays instead.
And……
#13 Become a mommy-in-law!!! Hip-hip-hooree!
Do you have any NYRs?
WHERE SHE BELONGS Cover Reveal and Kindle Release!
WHERE SHE BELONGS is finally available as a Kindle edition on Amazons around the world! Including Canadian Amazon! The trade paperback edition is currently at Amazon and CreateSpace. The trade paperback will eventually find its way to Canadian Amazon and also the Barnes and Noble website. It took HEAD OVER HEELS 8 weeks to get to Canadian Amazon. Hopefully, it won’t take WHERE SHE BELONGS as long. But such in the publishing life. Hurry up and wait.
I’ve been promising to reveal the new cover for WHERE SHE BELONGS for several days, and I just now realized I have to update the cover in the sidebar of my blog, too. For tonight, I’ll get by just posting the cover here. If you can also see it (instead of the hardcover version of the cover) in my sidebar, that’s because you didn’t read this post ten seconds after I wrote it. And you know what that makes you, don’t you? Very naughty. You’ll be lucky if Santa visits this year, I swear.
But I’m not a grinch, so I forgive you.
Without further rigmarole…
Well, where is it? WordPress isn’t playing nicely with me today…
I’m getting ticked off!
There it is! Only took four tries to get it to post. I thought for a second there I had lost all ability TO post an image. Phew.
If you want to see the full trade paperback cover flat, click this link, which will take you to another page on my website. First, a large version of the front cover will appear, but then, THEN, only if you’re very, very good, you will scroll down and the full paperback cover will miraculously appear. Just like a lump of coal in a stocking.
To read an excerpt and some reviews, please visit the WSB book page.
Discount Over at Amazon
HEAD OVER HEELS is no longer being discounted at Amazon. It was nice while it lasted! That said, the ebook is still and will always remain cheaper than a latte. And brings you just as much kick, too!
I’m madly updating my website today in preparation for the Kindle and trade paperback release of WHERE SHE BELONGS. The release date is tentatively December 17th, however, as I learned last year at this time when the library-hardcover edition was supposed to release December 16th and yet wasn’t quite available for sale, sometimes there’s a lag between “release date” and “yay, I can buy it now.” So it might be Tuesday, rather than Monday, before the Kindle edition and trade paperback actually appear on sale, regardless of release date.
Never fear, all shall be released on the blog as soon as I have the links to the various pages. And you know what that means. Cover reveal! That’s half the fun, getting responses to the new cover. I simply adore it, and I hope you will, too.
EBook Discount Continues at Amazon
Amazon still has the Kindle edition of HEAD OVER HEELS discounted to .99 cents. That’s a savings of $2.00. Amazon’s discounting has nothing to do with the Elves Made Me Do It Holiday Sale, which was across several platforms, and ended a few days ago. If you visit Canadian Amazon, the book is back to its regular price of $2.99 there, but American Amazon is still carrying the huge discount.
Not sure how long this will last, so if you want a copy, I can honestly say this is the cheapest you’ll find it all year (not that it was expensive to begin with). That link once again?
Last Day of 99 Cent Holiday Sale
Today’s the last day of the one-week long The Elves Made Me Do it Holiday sale on HEAD OVER HEELS. Here are the links again if you’re interested. Tomorrow, December 12th, the price goes back up to the regular ol’ $2.99. Those elves are nasty. “It’s not my fault.”
ARe – You can check that link, but the 66% discount ran until “December 11th,” so the ARe sale might already be over as of midnight, I’m not sure.
In other news, WHERE SHE BELONGS will release in ebook and trade paperback formats on (or as close to “on” as possible, depending how fast the e-tailers put up the book) December 17th! It’s been a year since WHERE SHE BELONGS released in library hardcover, and I can’t wait to to see it available in ebook and the more affordable trade paperback. I have the cover art, and it’s gorgeous! I will share it soon!
Thanks to everyone who’s bought HEAD OVER HEELS since it was re-issued at the end of August. I sincerely appreciate every one of my readers. Happy holidays to you all!
