One hundred readers won an e-book copy of Sweet Forbearance at the end of my Goodreads Giveaway, September 30th.
Thank you to all that entered!
The giveaways are always a fun way to get my books into the hands of readers. I look forward to doing another one very soon! In the meantime, be watching for the release of the fourth book in the series, Sweet Endurance. Currently working on that and making progress! Yay! If you have followed the Atkins family in the first three books, you will be excited to read about Chris. He’s been one interesting guy and continues to be.
As you head into your weekend, stay safe, relax and take some time to just…be!
I’m excited to announce that I’m on BookBub! This is my author page: https://deborah-ann-dykeman.author-pages.com/ Please check it out and follow me. Eventually I will have a mailing list as well. I’m learning the ropes and getting it figured out.
A kindly reminder that my newest release, Sweet Forbearance, #3 in the Love Defined series is currently in a Goodreads Giveaway. For one more week!
For whatever reason, I’m having a bit of attention given to this book. My editor thinks it is AI generated interest, and it more than likely is.
But I’ll take it!
I find it interesting that these people, readers, etc. are contacting me, and telling me about my story. They are fairly accurate. I love reading what their conclusions are about what they have read. It makes for fantastic book club reads and discussions! And of course, I would like to say to them that each of my books deal with the kinds of emotions, tragedies, problem-solving, and love that they are finding in Sweet Forbearance. This book written by me is not unique in that.
Here in Kansas, today is a hot one! I do miss the long, slow progression of spring and autumn in the northeast. But here in Kansas, we don’t seem to have the mud problem either that I remember so well when my parents had their horses. I lost a shoe or two more than once slogging through mud in upstate New York!
The daffodils have bloomed at our house. The peonies I moved last year seem to be doing well so far. They came up anyway! Now I’ll be looking for blossoms. I had wanted to move the daffodils last fall, but plantar fasciitis slowed my autumn prep to a standstill. Maybe I’ll get it done before the end of May.
Writing books and designing covers has been my focus since the beginning of the new year. I designed six covers, and I wrote a new book…about 85,000 words between the first of February and yesterday when I finished going through the edits needed on the second part of 56,000 words. I wrote that second part in three weeks. For those of you that write, you know that is an accomplishment! The first three months of a new year have always been a great time for me to get writing done. Motivated, not a lot of outside work, and between spring and fall cleaning schedules. This year was extremely successful. That puts a smile on my face!
Last September also saw the release of the second book in my Love Defined series…Sweet Belief.
If you live in Texas, the view out your window today may look very much like the backdrop of the cover for Sweet Belief.
Happy spring to all! Enjoy the sunshine, the bright flowers, and new buds on the trees. And if you are in the mood to read, you know where to find a good book. 😉
