Time keeps slipping away
and other book news
Holy cow, has it been a busy few weeks. I just finished Cheaper by the Dozen - such a fun play and always bittersweet to see it end. Next week, I start Sound of Music, which I’m super excited about, even more so because my two youngest are in it with me. This summer they are both attending an amazing drama camp where they will learn so much. I’m a little jealous that nothing like that existed where I grew up lol.
Today, my oldest boy turned 16. Wow, I was not ready for that. We go Wednesday to get his official license since he wasn’t able to get a picture on his permit, and then our insurance goes through the roof lol. I keep praying the words will come back so I can write more books or else learn how to advertise them better to help cover the cost, but so far it’s slow going.
I am still busy working on the fifth Fab Five book as well as another psychological thriller, but I keep getting to a point where I don’t like the book and then I stop. Still, in honor of my son, I’m offering a 16% discount on anything on my store for the next week, so use this code Sweet16 and grab something you haven’t read or listened to.
