My daughter has been getting more blogging experience and wrote an interesting post about her trip into the Sahara. They were fortunate to be out on the sands when the first rain storm in seven years rolled through. I'm counting the days until she comes home. Skype isn't the same as sharing my desk with her while we keep each other from getting work done. Skype isn't finishing each other's sentences and laughing until we cry. Oops, there I go again.
Today, Pat Hatt is guesting on the IWSG Blog. I don't know what his topic is but I know it will be interesting and informative. Stop by and meet Pat if you don't know him already.
Did you know that the A to Z Challenge hosts run a blog all year long. On Thursday, they'll be introducing the new hosts for next year's challenge. Stop in tomorrow and meet them.
Some good news from my publisher. My latest science fiction romance, The Warrior and the Biologist, sold lights out on Amazon last month. She urged me to finish that next book so they could get into edits. Pressure.... but of the good kind. And in the way those things happen, all my other books had excellent months on Amazon as Warrior pulled them upward with it. Warrior has spent most of the past six weeks in the top 20 of science fiction romance. I would do a happy dance if I weren't so tired from raking leaves.
Did you do anything special for Veterans Day? Do you know Pat Hatt? Do you follow the A to Z blog throughout the year? Have any 'good' writing pressure lately?

Hi Susan ... Remembrance Day here for both World Wars - my father never spoke of his experiences in WW2 ...
It's great to read your daughter's posts about her time in Morrocco .. I'm glad you can Skype together, even if not perfect ...
Good to read about Patt and the A-Z blogs ...
Congratulations on your book - great news that it's being so successful .. cheers Hilary
That's great your book sold so well!
Pat had a great topic for today. He's also a Ninja Master.
I hope your daughter comes home soon. I can feel your anguish.
Re: pressure
That's very good pressure. :)
Wow, congrats on the great sales. And my dad is a vet too. Always makes me proud to see our military honored for the work they do. :)
I would love to have that kind of pressure! Congratulations!! We have quite a few vets in our family as well. I'm glad our nation had this holiday to say thanks to our heroes.
Good news about your book.
My Veteran's Day was pretty quiet. I picked my wife at the airport after her 6 day vacation visiting her daughter in Houston. Things are back to normal in our household and my short term of bachelorhood is over.

Spent Veteran's Day doing much needed chores and winterizing.
Congrats on your book. That is a great pressure to have. :)
Awesome on the sales, that is great indeed. Thanks for the shout too and my a to z is done at my zoo lol
Susan, that's wonderful!!! Congratulations! Such good news - and so great that Warrior is helping all of the other books, too :)
Wahoo for awesome sales! That's so exciting! I'm wishing you awesome writing success and a generous muse!

I know you miss you're daughter, but she's getting the experience of a lifetime! When she comes back, you'll have to throw a "Welcome Home" party for her. ;) And yay for awesome sales!
The first storm in seven years in the dessert sounds like a pretty cool experience. And I'm sure she misses you as much as you miss her :)
I always wear my poppy for Remembrance Day (Canadian Veterans Day). It was a great post from Pat. And that's awesome about your newest book! Pressure like that is very good. :)
Stopped in to say howdy and to let you know that I laughed at your comic. Good stuff.
I certainly know Patt Hatt, he's a great guy! No idea about the A-Z Blogging Challenge, but I've seen it all over the place. I need to check it out.
Woo woo on the good book sales.
Our church does a special service honoring veterans. We live next to an USAF base so there are lots of them. Our pastor, a retired Army Chaplain, tells all the vets to wear their uniform, or whatever part they can still get into. I love the guys who show up that day wearing their G.I. socks, tie, or hat.
Hi Susan! Just stopping by to say how excited I am to be co-hosting the A to Z Challenge with you next year.
Wow, congrats on the book doing so well, Susan. Yep, you gotta get busy with that other one.
Looking forward to working with you on the A-Z.
I know Pat :)
Congratulations on the great sales numbers! Now go finish, LOL.
Hi, Susan,
Such EXCELLENT news... Congrats. I am so happy for you!
I must feel great to see you books sell so well and that your readers are enjoying you work. I can't wait for that to happen with my book.
Veterans' Day is special to me as well. My dad was a veteran, a retired Army Sargent. He even passed away on Veterans' Day. Very appropriate for him.
I was lucky enough to be in NY and visited him and my mom at the final resting place. It was a stunningly warm day and the fall foliage was breathtaking. It was very special.
sold out? amazing woman!! Pat I'm sure was very poetically interesting. LOL
Hey, Blogger's playing tricks on me - I left a comment of congrats earlier in the week. :(
But it bears repeating - kudos on the great sales, and here's hoping they continue for you.
