Take an emotional adventure one breathtaking love story at a time.
If you are planning to attend either Passion in Portland or InD'Scribe Author & Reader Con... come visit me at my table! If you do, I'll share a huckleberry with you, just like (well, maybe not JUST LIKE) Fiona shares with Austin in This Crazy Love and Angie shares with Adam in The Art of Loving. ♥ If you mention that you saw the picture in this blog post, I'll give you a special swag pack. What's not to love about huckleberries and special swag?? Come find me! I can't wait to meet you.
So, as many of you know, I'm getting ready for the Passion in Portland event (9/12) and the InD'Scribe Author & Reader Con (9/17 - 9/20). Because of this, I've been a tab busy and a bit neglectful. I'm terribly sorry about that. However, I think everything is getting put together. Books have been ordered and have arrived. Swag is all here. The huckleberries have been ordered and will ship next week... yes, I'm going to treat my visiting friends to a huckleberry. ;-)
But as I've been getting ready, I've been up to some other shenanegans. I polled my readers on Facebook out of sheer curiosity... because I'm like that. LOL Did you know that of all my romance novels, This Crazy Love (the first of the Crazy Mountain Series & a Green Brothers Novel) and Into the Heart of Desire (the first of the two Heart's Desire Books) were voted at the best romance novels out of the nine I've published? Wow! Two very different books set in very different places with extremely different characters. Who knew? I love getting feedback like this! It fascinates me to know which books are best received. ♥
Also, on my Facebook page, I've struck that magical mark of 4000 likes! Thank you all so much for that! Because I have (and Facebook hasn't taken the likes away) I'm having a giveaway for one of my eBook romance novels. YAY!! Follow the link and enter for your chance to win an eCopy of one of my books and swag! https://www.facebook.com/shpratt701/posts/676479745784812
I admit that I'm a compulsive "checker". I check KDP for sales. I check Amazon for new reviews. I check my kid's school website for new information. I check iTunes for new music. This "checking" is a daily thing that I am completely aware of being compulsive about but I don't feel it does anything more than keep my ego in check. (see what I did there? LOL)
So I was checking iTunes this week for new music and it was a fine week for that. New Bon Jovi, new Buckcherry; New Rob Thomas, new Roman Scott, new Symphony X, and new Disturbed... all great new albums that made me very happy and my iTunes account very slim. LOL I got so many awesome songs that I just can't say. ♥ But one song smacked me upside the head and literally shoved me into the deepest recesses of The Crazy Mountain Series and subsequently, The Picture of Love Series... you know, my Green Brothers Novels. The Light by Disturbed speaks so strongly and beautifully to my heart and my characters that I've been struggling to find time to actually write with all the other stuff going on around me. The thoughts, the feelings... the words just won't stop and if I didn't have nerdlings, I'd be so deep into a binge writing session that I wouldn't know what day it was. I hope that you'll take a moment and listen to this song... it's stunning. ♥ (Hint... click the picture of the Crazy Mountains.) ↓↓↓
