1. Jordan Summer’s Bacchus has been nominated for an Ari (best cover art) from The Romance Studio! I hope it wins, it’s an amazing cover.

2. Windstorm expected to hit tomorrow. Hahahahaha. We’ll be prepped for it and I’m baking today so no matter what, Christmas dinner will not be in jeopardy.

3. I asked PBW for tips on writing through hurricanes. Our year in weather is one event after another and I wrote through all of them…until we got to the repeated power outages and gale force and hurricane force winds. At which point I slowed way, way down. Thanks to her tip, I will be using sound-muffling headphones because the noise of a high wind is just too distracting. (LOUD. I can’t shut it out to concentrate.)

4. NJ sent me The Return of Patrick O’Rourke, which I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to read, huzzah! It’ll be available Dec. 26.
