A pop to a world of secret magic

My good blogfriend, CD Coffelt's book, Wilder Mage, comes out today! Yay, yay, yay!

Had to help her CELEBRATE! I'm in the middle of reading my ARC of it and her magical prose blissfully immerses me into this world where two crazy, mixed up kids are both fearful of having their magic found out and their worlds shattered.

And here's a little about the author:

CD Coffelt lives outside Maryville, Missouri with a bemused husband and way too many cats. She adores all things fantasy with a special love for urban and epic. With a passion for good writing and Doritos as companions, locating Middle-Earth on a dusty road in rural Missouri wasn’t difficult. All it took was a little Magic, hours of reading, and an overactive imagination.

Other things I'm celebrating this fine Friday:

making it through my second week of my teaching assignment. I'm so tired!
boys doing well in football!
getting some editing done on Simulation. More like backfill at this point. I have to go back and explain everything using the characters' voices, that's all.

Here's my teaser, mock cover

Come celebrate every Friday with Vikki!

What are you reading? Anything fun going on this Labor Day weekend? Keep it safe!

Popsy Daisy!

Today's stop on the extended Pop Travel Blog Tour is at the infamous paranormal romance writer, Christine Rains' blog. I am very excited to sneak into her busy schedule. I've been flying through her 13th Floor novella series (I finished 2 when I went on vacation) and that's saying a lot! I'm such a slow reader and have so many nagging priorities... So, heck yeah I recommend you picking them up! And I'm honored to help with her cover reveal on Sept 13th - she has put them all under a single cover. Action, adventure, and amore in each story!

But not only that, Christine is hosting a steamy blogfest, Sept 9-15, More Than Just a Kiss. You'll see the details at her site when you stop by to read about my Futuristic Lazy Housewife gadgets!

Only a week left for the August giveaway. Can't believe it's almost September and Fall - didn't we just celebrate the new year?

I'm exhausted, but I'm celebrating anyway

Happy Friday!

The good news is, I'm teaching. The bad news is, I have no time (or energy) left to blog, write, read, etc - i.e. no ME time! I've been swamped! It's not permanent, and I'm hoping things will settle down, now that the first week of school is over, but I want to apologize for not getting around very much this week.

I celebrate teaching a great group of kids, hopeful to reach through and get them to learn a little math!
I celebrate my beautiful friend, Patty, for bringing Pop Travel on vacation with her and taking pictures of it - I've been showing them off at Facebook, here are a few...
