It's a holiday weekend here in the States, so we're relaxing today and tomorrow. It was one crazy week around here! My oldest was home on Monday, finally recovered from a virus and fever that had her out of school for an entire week. The sinus infection I felt coming on never materialized thankfully. I'm still blowing my nose at least every hour of every day, but no pain or fever. I feel lucky I managed to escape it this time around.

We were supposed to go to my brother's house for the holiday tomorrow, but last night my youngest went to bed early without eating anything for dinner. She was exhausted and falling asleep on the couch. This morning she woke up with a fever. Sigh. Whatever this virus is, it is sticking around.

The groundhog family that lives on our property, after four years of us living in peace and not bothering each other, decided to decimate our garden completely (we know it was them because we actually caught them doing it) so now we have to evict them. Sigh. MOTHER NATURE!!!

In book news, RECLAIMED is out this coming Thursday and I am more than ready to celebrate and get the book into all the hands of the people that pre-ordered. The paperback is available now if you want it, by the way. I thought about doing a Facebook party but Thursday got busy with family things too, so no party. I'm not sure how effective or fun they are now that everyone is doing them, anyway.

I'm almost done with my next Kami No Sekai short story. This one took a while to pin down and figure out, but yesterday my fingers were on fire and I wrote over 2000 words. Now I know exactly how I want to end it, and I hope to finish it today.

My next contemporary romance has been read by two people and is with two others including my newly hired editor. I'm nervous. I hope it gets some good feedback.

What else happened this week?

We had a seafood extravaganza last Sunday night. Crabs. They were so good.

Everything is in bloom around here and gorgeous. I really love spring!

I got my postcards into 750 swag packs for UtopYA in June! So, I had to design and get postcards printed :) Lol. I got that done in a day. I'm glad I have those skills.

And my walks around the park are even cuter than usual now that all the goslings are out and about. They're so fuzzy!! Adorable.

Have a great week everyone!
