- Monroe County Book Expo I'll be at the Eastern Monroe County Library on Saturday from 10-3 signing all my books, PBs and Touch of Death. I'll also be reading my newest PB, Melinda's Museum Magic, at 2pm.
- Cell Phone Issues My cell phone isn't even a year old and it's being uncooperative. Grr. Some of my texts go through and others don't. No pattern at all so I'm totally confused by it.
- Summer of Editing I've pretty much given up on trying to write new material this summer. I have too many edits for both myself and clients. I guess the fall will bring time for drafting.
- 1000 Followers! My blog reached 1000 followers! Yay! To celebrate, I'll be doing a multiple book giveaway soon. Stay tuned! And thank you to all who follow. <3 font="">
- Behind Closed Doors Cover Reveal Friday was the cover reveal for Ashelyn Drake's upcoming New Adult romance, Behind Closed Doors.
Julia Monroe is through wishing she had an older guy like her best friend Noelle does. It’s time for her to act on her desires. So when she sees sexy, twenty-three-year-old Darren McEntire eating dinner alone at the pub, she decides to make her move. The attraction between them is undeniable, and even through Julia isn’t looking for a one-night stand, she winds up back at Darren’s place the same night she meets him. Only being with him makes her realize what she’s been missing dating other guys. All she wants is Darren.
But Julia allows Darren to think she’s his age and a grad student at the nearby college. She knows she has to confess the truth, but she’s afraid to shatter what they have. Not knowing what to do, she starts the semester only to discover that her new teaching assistant is none other than Darren. With the lies out in the open and campus policy against them, Julia and Darren know the relationship should be over before it even begins. But the chemistry between them is too strong to deny.
Can they find a way to be together or are they doomed to only see each other behind closed doors?

That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting 1,000 Twitter followers. That's fantastic! How many times a day do you tweet?
Hi, Michele. I hit 1,000 blog followers, but I have more on Twitter. I don't have a set number of times I tweet each day. Just when I find something worth tweeting. :)
DeleteHi Kelly,
DeleteDidn't read carefully enough--1,000 blog followers is even more impressive. You are a fantastic and consistent blogger. Great work! An even bigger congrats!
Thanks, Michele! :)
DeleteIt's 1002 followers today! Congrats, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm chillin'. Made stuffed cabbage for the first time as research for my novel (boss cooks stuffed cabbage). It was amaaaaazingly delicious. :D
My husband loves stuffed cabbage. I'm not a cabbage person though. My mom made it every St. Patrick's Day and I really only like it raw.
DeleteWow, over 1000 blog followers, that's wonderful! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongrats on the followers! As for the cell phone problem, maybe it's the service provider, not the phone?
ReplyDeleteMy husband has the same provider and his phone is working fine, so unfortunately, I don't think that's it. :(
DeleteI'm trying to get organized this morning. And I'm doing the opposite this summer...putting the editing on hold for some drafting!
ReplyDeleteI need lots of uninterrupted time to draft so summer is the worst for me. I like to edit in small sessions to keep myself on my toes, so it's perfect for having my husband and daughter around and only getting a few minutes here and there.
DeleteThe book expo should be fun. I've done some really fun book fairs. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine. It's my third year at this one. I'm looking forward to it.
DeleteI can't tell you how much I love Ashelyn's cover! It's everything I look for when it comes to New Adult. I can't stop gushing over it :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Congrats on reaching 1,000 followers - totally well deserved!
Thanks, Faith!
DeleteI love the cover of Behind Closed Doors. It fits the story so well.
Congrats on hitting 1000 followers!
ReplyDeleteYou know, on the phone issues, that's why we got a google voice #. You can forward it to any phone, and then everything is recorded online as well as on your call log. Here's hoping your technology starts working like it should!
Thanks, Crystal.
DeleteI actually spent a while on the phone with Verizon today and I think they fixed the issue. Fingers crossed but it seems to be working correctly again. :)
Congrats on reaching 1000 followers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Auden!
DeleteSmashing cover!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on hitting that mark, Kelly!
Thanks, William!
DeleteCongrats on so many followers. You're a popular lady! :-)
ReplyDeleteYuck, tech probs are the worst. =/ Hopefully you have insurance. We learned that lesson after my husband went through what felt like a gazallion phones!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, we got the issue fixed without having to pay anything. Yay!
DeleteSorry to hear about the cell phone problems. :( Hope things get fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a lot of editing this summer. So far it feels like the whole summer has been spent editing! :)
Same here with the editing. LOL Good luck!
DeleteSeems to be service/account issues. Possibly....
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that. You are so good at connecting that I imagine this is frustrating.
So frustrating. Got it fixed though, so now I'm happy again. :)
DeleteI'm glad your cellphone's working again.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover.
Yay on hitting 1000 followers.
Thanks, Medeia! :)
DeleteI hate when phones have a mind of their own! Congratulations on hitting 1000. That's fantastic . Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou can count the summer as a vacation from writing like kids count summer as a vacation from school. Have fun at the signing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, except I don't look forward to time away from writing. I miss it.
DeleteCheers for 1,000 followers! I hope the library event goes well that sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrianne!
DeleteDANG! 1000 followers! Well, you are obviously a rock star now.
ReplyDeleteI'm genuinely sorry to hear you won't have time to write new material this summer. I hope it calms down enough for you soon to follow your joy!
Thanks, Kiersi. I'm going to write up a storm when September gets here. ;)
