Happy Monday! Monday Mishmash is a weekly meme dedicated to sharing what's on your mind. Feel free to grab the button and post your own Mishmash.
Here's what's on my mind today:
- Murderer on the Loose The biggest thing on my mind is Eric Frein, a 31-year-old man who shot and killed a police officer in my area. He critically wounded another officer, and now, Frein is armed, dangerous, and hiding somewhere in the woods. I'm scared. I wish they'd catch him soon. It's frightening that Frein is evading 200 police officers searching for him. I don't feel safe in my own home.
- Campus Crush is now FREE! To celebrate the releases of Into the Fire and Perfect For You, I've decided to make Campus Crush permanently free. You can get your free copy on Kindle or Nook.
- Into the Fire and Perfect For You Reviews So far, I've been blown away by the reviews for both of these books. Seriously, some have made me cry because people are relating so much to my characters and the emotions in these books. I couldn't be a happier author right now.
- #IntotheFireChallenge The Into the Fire Challenge is still going on. You have until October 10th to get your review of Into the Fire posted on Amazon and be entered for your chance to appear as a phoenix in the third book in the trilogy. You can also win signed copies of all three books in the series. Go enter now!
- YA Scavenger Hunt I'm happy to announce I'll be participating in the fall YA Scavenger Hunt going on October 2-October 5. I'll be part of the Green Team with my Ashelyn Drake title Into the Fire. I'm so excited!
That's it for me. What's on your mind today?
Hope that maniac is caught soon. Stay safe. Exciting week for you other than that :-)
ReplyDeleteI've taken my novel as far as I can for now. It's been beta reader tested. I've made the final adjustments to it. Just need to save up to have a manuscript assessment now. In the meantime, I'm putting together notes and a plan for the next novel.
Have a great (and safe) week.
Me too. It's been crazy around here. I hate living in fear.
DeleteCongrats on finishing the manuscript!
You have so much going on. But you always do. LOL
ReplyDeleteGot to love a good scavenger hunt! Can't wait to see it all.
I'm not happy if I'm not busy. :)
DeleteUgh to the murderer!!! I know they'll catch him soon. He can't leave the woods or he'll risk getting caught, so there's solace in that, I suppose. Be careful out there!
ReplyDeleteI hope they catch him soon.
DeleteHope they'll catch the murderer soon. Stay safe, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ida.
DeleteYay, go Green Team! ;) Sorry to hear about what's going on in your neck of the States, and for the police officer's family. But, now, happier things- yay, free books! =)
ReplyDeletelol Yup, free books are definitely happier things. ;)
DeleteYeah, that Frain guy is worrisome. Just keep your doors locked. They'll find him soon enough. I'm so glad you're getting great reviews! You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteI seen a lot of news media about this guy. I'm so sorry you have to worry about him hiding somewhere near your area. I will send some prayers your way!
ReplyDeleteI have Perfect for You in my Kindle. As soon as I get around to reading it, I would definitely love to post reviews.
Thank you so much, Gina, on both accounts.
DeleteI, too, am sorry that you have to worry Fein. Take care of yourself and family and reach out for support as you need it. Love to see all the stuff that's going on with you. I'll download Campus Crush as I now have the Kindle feature on my Ipad and kind of know how to use it...lol
ReplyDeleteI just got another idea for my blog (based on a recent post) which is good since I'm trying to write a week ahead of schedule. Am doing daily writing (at least 250s words) keeping track of it via the 'Magic Spreadsheet'. Am doing research now and outlining so that I can do NaNoWriMo and actually finish!
Oh yay! I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteOoh, excited to hear your blog idea. And I'm sure you'll win NaNoWriMo. That's awesome that you are getting ahead with your research and outlining.
That manhunt has made the news on this side of the border as well, Kelly. I hope he's caught soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, William.
DeleteOh, sounds chilling. I do hope he is caught by now.
ReplyDeleteNot yet, unfortunately.
DeleteI've been following that in the news, Kelly. Stay safe! Maybe while he's been hiding in the woods, some big ole giant animal devoured him for lunch.
ReplyDeleteI'd feel better knowing he was caught. If he gets eaten, we may never know.
DeleteI hope they've caught the man by now. That would be scary, knowing he was somewhere nearby.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much going on with so many different books I don't know how you keep up with them all. :) Lots of fun though.
I don't know how I keep up either. lol It's not easy.
DeleteI can't believe they haven't caught that guy. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's crazy.
DeleteLock your doors and stay safe. And, thank you for Campus Crush, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Sherry.
DeleteStay safe. Any update on him?
ReplyDeleteNot yet.
DeleteThat is scary. I feel uncomfortable anytime I see something in the news and then there are helicopters in my area.
ReplyDeleteYay on the reviews.
Yeah, I worry when the helicopters go overhead.
DeleteCongratulations on all those great reviews, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vanessa!
DeleteThat's horrible! I hope they catch Frein soon! Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your wonderful reviews. :)
I hope so too, Chrys. Thanks.
DeleteI hope they catch Frein soon.
ReplyDeleteThat first item about the murderer in your midst got me. I await an update on this super-soon, please.
ReplyDeleteThey still haven't caught him, Mirka, so no update yet. :(
DeleteI am hoping for everyone's safety that they catch Frein tonight! How scary that he is still on the loose!
ReplyDelete~Jess
I feel the same way. I hate living in fear like this.
DeleteOh dear, I hope he gets caught very soon. Stay safe, Kelly, and congrats on the reviews!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claudine.
