Happy Monday! Here's my mishmash of thoughts:
- BEA I had a blast at BEA. I'll post pictures on Wednesday. I'm still recovering from traveling and packing up my house for an addition.
- Construction Construction began on my house the Saturday of BEA. I came home to find I had no ceiling in my living room. I'll have to leave for a few days when they do the demo since my entire roof is being removed. Wish me luck. It's a crazy mad house over here!
- Editing I'm working on a client edit this week and copy edits on my MG novel.
- Blurbing I'm reading a book right now that I have the honor of blurbing. I'm excited, but I only have a few days to read and submit my blurb, so eek!
- The Monster Within Teaser #4 Only two weeks until release day! Here's another teaser quote for you.
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?

ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteExciting week all round for you. Half term is over. My children are back at school. I have peace and quiet to write - bliss.
ReplyDeleteI saw a few pics of you at BEA, especially your spanking new necklace. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYeah, my FB was filled with pic, even though I didn't post them. lol I'm not posting any there because I don't want to overwhelm people.
DeleteSo happy about Monster Within! I'm just finishing a construction project. It really takes up my time, but I love the desogn aspect! My clients are LOVING my new office!
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
DeleteOh, construction is always terrible, but it will be great when it's over, right? good luck with all of your projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It will be a while before it's all finished unfortunately.
DeleteSounds exciting, Kelly! The fun part after any construction project is DECORATING!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it. :)
We are a long way away from decorating. I'm looking forward to that part.
DeleteYugh, that does not sound like fun. But when it's done- so nice! And BEA pics soon! *does happy dance*
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm telling myself time goes quickly and this will end. lol
DeleteOh, we have renovations going on at my house too and it's so annoying. And baby is due in less than two weeks! Looking forward to seeing those pictures from BEA. Excited for you about the release...though I scored an ARC of The Monster Within from NetGalley, so I've already had the pleasure of reading it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting a review of The Monster Within, Katie. I really appreciate it, and I'm so happy you liked the book!
DeleteOnly two weeks! Wow! Congrats!
Good luck with the demolition. I'm sure it will be wonderful when it's all said and done, but the getting there can sometimes be rough.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly. I'm trying to keep my focus ahead on the end product because it's a nightmare in my house right now.
DeleteIt sounds like it's all going to be worth the inconvience. Just tell yourself "this too shall pass." (Hehe) Best of luck, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's what I'm doing, Sherry.
DeleteHopefully there will be a roof soon. Have a lovely week and happy editing :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vanessa! You too!
DeleteRenovations are inconvenient to say the least, but hopefully the end result's well worth it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a productive day
ReplyDeleteNow if I just had more hours in my day. ;)
DeleteThe remodel sounds pretty horrific, but I bet you'll be super happy when it's complete. Good luck with edits.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely horrific. lol I'm counting down the days until this is finished.
DeleteBEA was bananas! I meant to stop by your booth. I didn't get chance to. -_- Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteSaturday was insane. I ended up leaving early and since it was so crazy, I actually didn't mind leaving. lol Last year I left kicking and screaming. ;)
DeleteCan't wait to see your BEA pics, Kelly! Let's keep this sun shining until your roof is ready. What do you say? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, please! :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to the pictures from BEA. I'll be living vicariously through your experience. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the blurb!
I'm excited to share my pics and my experience on Wednesday. :)
DeleteYay, Kelly! I bet you are excited for the release of The Monster Within! I know I am=) This will be the 4th book of yours my niece will be adding to her collection. Good thing her birthday is coming up!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your photos from the BEA. And good luck with construction. We are remodeling our kitchen as soon as we get a few more estimates. As much of a pain in the behind it will be, it will be nice to see something new for a change.
Oh yay! I'm honored that my book will be a birthday present for her. :)
DeleteYes, remodeling is great when it's finished. Then you know it's worth all the pain it takes to get there. At least I keep telling myself that. ;)
Kelly, you are a source of inspiration as always! At this moment I am packing for my own remodel, and thought I wouldn't be able to get any work done. Good luck with the new release!
ReplyDeleteLet's push through and get work done through the remodel together, Fancy. We can cheer each other along.
DeleteYou have an exciting mish-mash going on there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blitz today!
You're welcome! I hope you're enjoying it.
DeleteAfter I reached the "no-ceiling" item, I sent good *constructive* thoughts your way. If you can manage that, you can do anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mirka !
