Good Authoring Day to YOU …

… And Happy Saturday to you!

Ahhh … in the pool at last. I’m taking today OFF and schmoozing with my heart sisters—the pool in the AM, playing cards, watching a movie, and cooking something fun and delicious. Haven’t had a good off day in a long, long time.

Celebrating three of my authors FINISHING their books, getting them loaded to Amazon and IngramSpark plus planning their bestseller campaigns on Amazon. Lots happening this summer.

How about you. What are you celebrating? Planning? Moving forward with. And, thinking about the rest of the year?

July is usually hot … what ideas do you have in your book marketing … your book marketing oven? It’s time to turn up the heat.

It’s Caturday … a reminder to all of us to prioritize our time and energy. Are you?

That’s me for this Saturday … how about you … what are you up to?

Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”.
