"Oh What a Good Story"

That was the subject line of a message I got Saturday evening from a lady who won a copy of Lone Star Trouble in an online giveaway I did. Here's the rest of her note (copied with her permission):

Hello,
I just finished Lone Star Trouble...Loved every page...I read it all today...I couldn't put it down.
I loved Kie and Nate and Cleve..and all the characters...Even Stinky Dog was endearing...
Will there be a sequel? I want to know more about the families...and the expected baby and the sheep vs cows? The wedding?
There are lots of things to ask actually......lol...
I saw you have another book coming out in April..and thought that was a sequel...but I read the excerpt..it's a brand new story... so, I had to write and ask if there will be more about the Howells and the Days?
Looking forward to the next books...
Take care,
Maureen

Well. Wasn't that nice of her?
And to further fluff my feathers, I've acquired another "Follower" here on Piper Patter, another giveaway recipient from last week, I do believe. 20 feels like a landmark number, somehow.

Wee spot o' news

So I was playing tag yesterday (well, not playing, so much as working, and it wasn't really hard to catch the object of my attention, because I was actually on Amazon tagging my books so they'll come up in searches more readily) and came across something quite thrilling. Pardon me while I yell it:

PRINT COPIES OF LONE STAR TROUBLE ARE AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER ON AMAZON!

Yes, I know. I was excited, too. Release date shows as December 31st on our Amazon, but in Canada it says January 1. Either way... squeeeeeeeee!

This means all those people I know who don't really "get" ebooks will finally believe I am a published author. squeeeeee!

In other news, young Fuscius-etta turns a strapping 12 years old tomorrow. (when I think back to 12 years ago... hoooboy. What a miserable time. I didn't even wish for it all to be over -- I was certain it would be soon, and I'd be dead. ugg. Having another baby wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to have the baby, ya know... it was not a good childbirth. Definitely not a textbook delivery) Anyway. We're going to see David Archuleta (double squeeeee on her behalf) live -- in concert -- and I'll bare my soul further today and admit this is my. Very. First. Concert. Aside from seeing part of a live Nelson performance at a 6 Flags park in 1992, when I'm pretty sure they were already on their way out, oh and whiny little SIL was along so we had to stand in BACK because the loud noise hurt her ears. Good God. I dare say, this will be much more fun. One swooning pre-teen, a good galpal, me, and about 1000 other screamin tweens and their kind moms. Oh, and one cutie petutie ArchieKid up on stage crooning to us all.

Are ya excited yet, eA? :)

Happy Friday, I'm off the 5th Grade class of Children of the Corn today. Pray for me and wish me hair at day's end.
