March 2018 Newsletter

3/31/2018

Okay, so I'm really sneaking in under the wire to call this my March newsletter, but it's been a crazy month...and I mean even crazier than usual! Husband and I have decided that we are most definitely NOT cut out for life in town. We've talked about moving back to the country for at least three of the six years since we moved here about going back to the country, and finally, earlier this month, we decided to quit talking about it and just do it. As my husband said, "I think we've got at least one more adventure left in us," and I have to agree. (And now you know why I adore this man--he gets me and really understands what's important.)

So, we contacted a realtor and are currently listed as "coming soon," while we pack up and otherwise hide all the clutter so we can make this house look its very best. We've taken a few trips to various places around the northern part of the state, exploring areas we'd like to live, and today we had a huge yard sale and "re-homed" a whole lot of stuff we honestly had no use for. In fact, I'd totally forgotten we even had a lot of what we got rid of today. I think we gave away as much as we sold!

In the meantime, I've been working on the edits for Dark Wolf, my opening book for the Spirit Wild series with plans to bring it out ASAP, and have also completed edits on A WOLF BY ANY OTHER NAME, which just came out at Changeling Press yesterday, and will release from Amazon, BN, Kobo, and iBooks on April 6. You can preorder from those vendors--just follow the links on my page by clicking on the cover above.

Remember that stack of books I showed you last month? Just a refresher shot of the photos here:

I've managed to read three of them--Jayne Ann Krentz's PROMISE NOT TO TELL, Robyn Carr's THE FAMILY GATHERING, and Susan Fox's COME HOME WITH ME. Click on the titles to see my reviews on Goodreads. I think Eileen Wilks' DRAGON BLOOD will be my next read.

Because of all that's going on right now, I'm not doing a contest. Waiting on edits for Dark Captive, and hopefully that one will go up in the next couple weeks. I'll let you know as soon as I have a definite release date.

I'll be off social networking the next few days--have a busy schedule including tests at the hospital for some minor issues, so if you contact me and I don't respond, it's because I've got way too much going on. I hope you're all doing well, and definitely hope you're finding time to read, and that spring has finally come to your part of the country, unless you're in the Southern hemisphere, where it's fall!

On that note, take care, be well, and I'll do this again in a few weeks -- hopefully with a contest this time!

Kate

Happy Easter Kate ,and hubby! 🐇🐥 I'm in the middle of a move as well so I can relate. Hope everything goes well with your tests.

Thanks, Barb! Yeah, this getting old sucks donkey balls, ya know? LOL...I've been dealing with an abdominal ulcer for the past three years now, going in for an endoscopy on Tuesday to see why it won't go away. And we're busy packing, had a huge yard sale yesterday and discovered that BOTH my husband and I are hoarders! Lots and lots of stuff...

I can't wait to read your new book. I've all your wolf tales books and so many other of your books. I really admire ypu and your books.

Thanks, Angela. I'm anxious for it to come out as well. This one is a bit different, with a heroine who is a Berserker...a snow leopard.

<snort> You're kidding, right? Moving is a pain in the butt...until you're finally settled. I'm just now packing up my office, which is why I've been missing in action. Lots of books to box!

Happy Easter! Seems like not that long ago you were moving into that house! It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate. I've been trying to weed out things so I won't be as overwhelmed when I do end up moving in a few years. Best of luck with finding the perfect location.

Six years! And yes, we've accumulated way too much, even though we got rid of most of our "extra" things when we moved here. Last house quite literally was twice the size of this one. We really like this little place, but living in town is making both of us nuts. Doug's right. It's time to get out of Dodge!

You're smart to be doing the weeding out now! Good luck!

Happy Easter! Boy, you have kept busy! I just managed to move most of our belongings to Michigan this January. We have been mostly here since about middle of last year to help my mother-in-law, memory issues. There was a house fire at the end of Feb, no one was hurt. Am helping her go through the process of insurance, hiring for various services for clean up and repair, and the adjustment to a short term rental for the meantime. We are glad that we were here when it all happened. I hope your move out of town and north will bring you a fun adventure.

Our move isn't going to be nearly as involved as yours! That's a long way to go--almost coast to coast! And with a fire on top of it all--WOW! Here's to a much calmer future until you're all settled again. Hope the weather is warming up for you. It's been so cold back there.

Take care, and best of luck to you in your new state. :-)

    I'm a romance author--I really love those happy endings, though I don't mind putting my characters through pure, unadulterated hell before they get there...

    Contests are back! I'm not totally settled, but really miss giving things away, so ready or not, I'm going to start slow. International entries are welcome, though I will have to limit International winners to ebooks. Postage costs are just too high. Your addresses will not be shared or sold--I respect your privacy. I will only collect addresses if I am giving away print books. I won't be doing that as much because I've got very few print books left in my stash, but I do have other things!
