Monday’s Tricks

It’s Monday. All day. What happened to the weekend? Oh, yeah. I remember. Sort of. MOONSTRUCK MAFIA: BOSTON went live. I was a busy little beaver. You know how it goes–no rest for the wicked or a writer with a new release. So, you ask, what kept me occupied and pretty certain that if I looked in the mirror I would resemble our furry friend in the meme. My brain certainly does!

I feel like I should write a report like “What I Did Over the Summer” because if feels like the weekend was that long. I marketed. I got on X. I did FB. Mostly, though, I did a major overhaul of my website. Look over there to the right. See all the pretty new graphics? I did those. Plus linked them to the (click to follow me on) Books2Read book list page for each series. If you clickThat means visitors can 1-click the pic go see the individual titles all nicely showing in order. Click on the cover and boom! You’ll finds a list of all the on-line book places where you can grab your very own copy of any book. Am I finished? Nope. But my brain quit.

I still have to get a newsletter put together and sent out today. Or maybe tomorrow. We’ll see if my techphobic brain has had enough time to recouperate. Speaking of, Stormy is here today. He was running a fever so he’s here instead of in school so Only and Baseball Boy (I really should start calling him Baseball Guy or Baseball Dude. He’s not exactly a boy anymore) can be in school.

The only writing I did last week was in the editing department and the creating of blurb and marketing lines. That hurts my brain too! I did manage a Thursday Threads challenge. It’ll pop up here on Wednesday.

Since today is tricks, tomorrow must be treats. That means more graphics plus finding a recipe. Ugh. Okay, okay. I’ll get right on that. That sounds like more fun than the newsletter!

We are in the middle of the World Serious and so far there has been some crazy baseball played! The Dodgers are up 2-0 over the Yankees. I suppose I should root for the Dodgers because their Triple A farm team, the OCK Comets, is located here. Frankly, I don’t really care. I just want some crazy good baseball and hoy howdy have they delivered so far! Yesterday was a travel day game tonight. Woohoo!

It’s late Sunday evening as I’m actually typing this and I truly am toast. Hope y’all had a great weekend. And I hope you are busy reading MOONSTRUC MAFIA: BOSTON and planning on leaving a review even if it’s just 5 STARS! LOVE IT!!! 😉

  1. All I did yesterday was read Boston Wolves😉.

    Thank you for the Who’s Who, there was a long list of peeps to keep track of.

    Loved it, and my review was left.

    Be proud of yourself Silver, you had some hurdles to get to the publishing finish line, and you got it done.

    Happy Monday😊

      THANK YOU for the review! Yeah…that book was supposed to be a series. 🤣 Then the guys put their paws down and informed me that all this stuff was happening at the same time, concurrently and I’d just be repeating myself. Still, when I saw the ‘Zon’s estimated page count at 550+, I choked. Not sure this one will ever make it into paper because holy cannoli, that sucker would cost over $20 for a paperback. Gah! I am so happy that you liked it and yeah, with soooo many characters, we needed a program to tell who was who and I only listed the pertinant folks. I’m hoping the next two “mobs” decide to keep things more…intimate. 😉

      • If it’s the Russians, they could be a bit tight lipped😉, so Iffy might need to get the Vodka iced down😀

        Oh, I can see how the Boston guys would says it’s gonna be like that!!!!!

        Congrats again Lady, I have been in abit of a funk, so hanging with the Wolves, put a smile on my face. Thank you.

    This book is awesome. And epic. And thrilling. Thank you for letting me read it. I loved it so much, I had to buy a copy for keeps. My review is submitted and now we wait for Amazon to approve it. (I need to post one to Goodreads, too.)

    I hope Storm feels better soon. :hugs: I’m a Yankees fan. They haven’t done very well so far. I’m hoping they at least make the series interesting and if they have to lose, they win at least 2-3 games.

    I hope you get some time off to not be toast anymore. Take care of yourself. :hugs:

      I always hope for the series to go 7 unless my Cards *koffnotinyearskoff* are playing then I want it 4 and done. LOL Thank you sooo much for all your help with the book! Our July marathon “write-in” helped put me back on track with it. And the dang thing is MASSIVE! Your review is live so thank you! It’s slowly moving up the charts and each review helps push the algorithm! I gotta get the dang newsletter done. Ugh.

      Stormy is napping right now but he mentioned he wants a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch before he dropped off. I take that as a good sign.

    It’s live! I’ll pick up Moonstruck Mafia: Boston this weekend. I am so behind on everything right now but I’m really looking forward to sinking my teeth into these guys.

    The weekend came and went. This morning was a battle with hubs to go to the neurologist. Thank God middle was taking us and when he showed up hubs mellowed.

    The results of the tests indicate Alzheimer’s so he will be going on memory medication specifically for Alzheimer’s as well as a sleep medication. Of course the pharmacy doesn’t have any of the meds.

    Here’s to a good afternoon😉. I truly do wish you a great day.

      🤗 to all that’s going on. Glad Middle was there to help! And sorry for the diagnosis. There have been some advances on the pharma side of things. 🤞🏼 what is prescribed helps! And yeah…I hear you on the availability. Only has had trouble getting some of her diabetes meds. She has like 8 different pharmacies on speed dial when it’s time to refill. 😦 Hang there. I hope things smooth out for you and you can find time to get lost in (hopefully!) a good book.

Got something to say?
