I’ve spent time this weekend packing books.
There’s nothing like a pile of brown kraft paper, boxes, tote bags, books and other things to get three cats all excited. I keep saying that these three can add multiple levels of complexity to every simple task. It gets a little intense.
Tomorrow I will make my first run to the post office and then again on Tuesday and Wednesday. If there are any stragglers, they’ll leave here on Friday.
As much as I love getting books into people’s hands, I’ll admit this isn’t one of my favorite parts of the publishing schedule. Fortunately, I might get through this January shipment without snow and ice on the ground. Once these are gone, bring on the blizzard. Yeah, it’s not in the forecast, my hopes and dreams will probably amount to … not much.

AUDIO BOOKS
The first book in the Bellingwood series has been published to audio. All Roads Lead Home is available through Audible and Amazon.
The process for Book 2 will begin soon, which is pretty exciting. I don’t have a timeline for when the series will catch up to itself; it depends on a great many things. But it has begun!
Audible is very generous with its authors and has given me codes for free audio copies to help spread the word. I want to give them away to you!
If you’d like to enter for a free audio copy of All Roads Lead Home, all you have to do is leave a comment. Either on this blog post … or (preferably) on this post on the Facebook Bellingwood page.
What should the comment be about?
Since the Winter Olympics are coming up in a couple of weeks – tell me about some of your favorite Olympic sports – either summer or winter. Memories that you have about the games … anything. I love watching the Olympics and have for years. Whether it’s figure skating, speed skating, the luge, diving, swimming … or, oh my gosh, I fell in love with rugby two years ago. Tell me what you love about the Olympics.
I have ten free audio books to give away right now, so there will be lots of winners. You have until Wednesday evening, January 31 to leave a comment.

The January newsletter went out last Thursday. I hope everyone got their hands on it. I always have fun putting them together for you.

Book 21
Twenty-five percent of the book has been written, so I’m on target – well, I’m actually running a little early. That’s good news, right?
Publication dates for the Bellingwood books are always March 25, June 25, September 25, and December 25th. It keeps me on my toes!
