Absent For a Few Days

Sorry I haven't been around much this week to visit blogs despite my intention to use that new smartphone to keep up with you all.  I'm been deep into getting Beyond the Gate, Book #2 of The Futhark Chronicles, ready for publication.  Some of you were with during my last attempt to self-publish the first previously published book in my epic fantasy series.  Now I'm about to delve into those same frustrations again.  Yes, I bought a few bottles of wine today. Just in case.

I can't help but dread it despite all I've learned from the first time. Hopefully by next week at this time, it will all be behind me and I can start on the promotion for my next romance coming out in a two weeks.  A Tiger's Courage is the third book in The Tigers of Salubria fantasy series from New Concepts Publishing.  My publisher is hosting a chat and lots of contest giveaways next Saturday. More on that later this week. 

So think of me now and then over the next few days as I pound my head on my desk and use words not usually heard in my writing office. If you notice me visiting your blog everyday, it means I'm too distressed to work on what I should be doing.

I'll be sending intelligent tech thoughts your way!
And why don't I ever get that error message?

You can do it, Susan. You beat it once, you can beat it again. And if not, at least you're stocked up on wine.

Thanks for the support. I keep telling myself I know what I'm doing so maybe I'll believe it soon.

Best of luck to you, Susan :) Blogging on a smartphone is a royal pain, and is usually more hassle than the worth of it!

Hope you'll share some with me, Susan. I'm trying to figure out CreateSpace. Guess who's winning!

Oh no! I wish you the best of luck. Don't pound TOO hard.

Emjoy that wine! Me, I've been taste testing Grand Marnier against Cointreau. Grand Marnier is winning.
