So! I took my Girl Scout troop to the roller derby once again. And you know what that means. This will be a very short entry.
I. Am. Tired.
Even so, I turned in my graphic design homework and made progress on the new series. And that’s about it, for this week and this post.
I’m off for some post-roller derby recovery time.

This week looks a lot like last week. I’m still in class, working on a new series (or so I hope), and reading/researching. I’m also hoping to start in on a reading challenge this year. I haven’t done one for a while, but War Through the Generations is hosting a stress-free World War II reading challenge this year. Check out their read-along books as well. I’ve been meaning to read All the Light We Cannot See, which is up first in March.
So? Join me? I’ll start doing mini-reviews again once I log a few books for the challenge.

Another fabulous promotion courtesy of author Patty Jansen. If you need to fill up on books to beat the winter blues, this is just the thing. All books (and some boxed sets!) are 99 cents. But hurry! This weekend only!
Looking for something new to read along with getting your holiday shopping done? Well, here you go. Fifty paperbacks, in all genres, plus the free Kindle version for yourself. Shop early, shop often.
Get them while they’re hot … or at least, free. Click on over to author Patty Jansen’s science fiction and fantasy promotion and fill up your e-reader–no matter your preferred device. But hurry, not all books will stay free.
A new book! To read!
Women Heroes of World War II—the Pacific Theater landed in my mailbox yesterday. And I can’t wait to read it. Review forthcoming.
I also have a new book of my own (well, technically a novella). I’m closing in on the end of the very last episode of Coffee & Ghosts. I’m thinking I’ll finish it up this week.
I’ve been working through Vellum as well, and as it says below, lots and lots of Vellum (because I have lots and lots of books to format).
I even sent out a couple of submissions.
Not bad for the last week of summer.

Looking to cool off with something to read this summer? Look no further. Hop on over to author Stacy Claflin’s site and celebrate the holiday early this year … very early with free and 99 cent e-books.
There’s something for everyone in multiple genres, including:
And there’s even a couple of children’s stories as well.
Happy reading!
So while I’m not quite doing A Story a Day in May, I am writing and finishing stories (more or less). This week, I ended up with three short stories, each a bit longer than typical flash fiction. I also have one in progress, which will go into this coming week’s total.
But I’m pleased with the challenge so far. I love reading and writing short stories and this has been a great way to experiment and try new things.
Also? I’m just a little bit distracted by the upcoming release of Simply the Best. Short stories make it far easier to get my regular writing in.

No publications, but one coming very soon!
Keep your eyes open this week for Simply the Best! You can read more about the boxed set here and here.
So last week I did a topic chat at Writers Village University about how to go about submitting short work to markets. And then I followed that up by not submitting anything at all this week. Well played, right?
But! I have a publication this week. Chicken Fat and Whipped Cream is up at Easy Street.
Other than those two rejections, I had a good week with +6,000 words in season three of Coffee & Ghosts. I’m closing in on the end of the first episode (at least, I think I am), although it still doesn’t have a ghostly title.
Other than feeling sad about Prince–we’re all sad here in Minnesota–it was a pretty productive week.

Chicken Fat and Whipped Cream over at Easy Street.
So, I turned around three rejections into submissions this week, wrote some words on season three of Coffee & Ghosts, and messed around a bit with the formatting of the series bundle for season two.
And … that’s about it for the week. Except you should really check out the link below. There are some seriously good books up for grabs.
