Scratching an itch

When my dog, Bella, has an itch that needs scratching she let's me know and it usually involves her nudging my hand into the exact position requiring itch relief. My own itches usually involve projects that I know I shouldn't start. 

Like my current kitchen renovation.

The problem is I get a project in my head and I have a vision of the end result that keeps poking at me until I relent. The itch only involves a visual of the end and not the pain it'll take to get to that point.

This is great when it comes to writing stories. If a book idea is jabbing at me, I'll let it simmer in my brain for a while. If the idea won't stop pestering me, I'll start research and then writing. 

Another itch I often get involves travel. Truthfully, I can hardly finish one vacation before planning the next. It's an expensive sickness.

What itch do you like to scratch?

I just wanna give you a SMOOCH!!

It's been an exciting week for GROUNDS TO KILL!

When an author puts pen to paper (fingers to keyboard) it is a miracle if your agent likes it enough to support it and a second miracle if an editor likes it enough to throw their company name behind your work. 

It's a leap of faith and a third miracle if readers also enjoy your story. I'm well aware readers have dozens of new choices in reading material every single day. You've taken a risk when buying my book. You hoped to be entertained and engaged and I hope I didn't disappoint. Of course, you can't be everyone's cup of tea (or coffee) but I'm grateful to each and every one of you who enjoyed my humble attempt to entertain.

Today I want to thank each of you who took a that leap and bought any of my books. If you liked my stories and actually took the time to say so either by email, or review, I'd love to grab you and give you a sloppy smooch right on the lips!

I consider it a blessing each and every day that I can put my thoughts on paper and then have someone I've never met take a chance and read my work. YOU are the biggest miracle of all.

THANK YOU!!
