Saturday morning coffee on the back deck
I'm on the back deck having coffee, checking out the woods behind our house for deer, and having coffee. The citronella candle is doing a funky snap, crackle & pop thing this this morning. I couldn't be outside for five seconds without being covered in a swarm of mosquitoes without it, so I put up with the smell. Better the smell than itchy welts. I woke up this morning to the usual -- a 70-lb. greyhound wrapped around my head with his head on my face. Couldn't see a thing but a big black nose. Yep, Andy's a momma's boy. They're presently all in bed with Derek.
Well, Blogger is finally cooperating and will let me post photos again, so on Monday (if it's still working) I'll post the actors/models that I visualize for my main characters while I'm writing. And as of yesterday, we have approved back cover copy for Bewitched & Betrayed. At least me, Anne, and Kristin have approved it. I know, I know, you want to see it NOW. But the higher ups at Ace Books have to approve it before I can post it, but as soon as I have the green light, you all can get a juicy look at what B&B is about. And I'm thinking in the next month, I'll get my first look at the cover. And again, as soon as it's final and approved, I'll post it here for you all.
I'm determined (no, I WILL) finish the synopsis for Book 6 this weekend. I know that edits for B&B are coming any day now, and I want nothing on my plate when they hit. But if I finish the Book 6 synop before the edits arrive (which would be very cool) I'll probably go ahead and write my remaining three columns for this year for The Writer magazine, or start in on Chapter 1 of Con & Conjure (I just love that title. Thank you, Jo!
Okay, I'm going to log off for a while, drink coffee, and watch for deer and hummingbirds. It's my Saturday morning unwind and relax time before I go grocery shopping and then come home and start writing for the day. Relaxing, deep breathing, coffee drinking time is good.
Have a great weekend!

Sounds like a fab way to start the weekend. Looking forward to seeing the cover.
Wishes I had the climate for hummingbirds. I think they are fascinating creatures.
Um, forgot to ask permission, but linked to two of your July posts on my latest blog post. Thanks for providing encouragement for writing out the plot before starting a wip :)
I noticed that in a recent Tweet you treated yourself to episodes of the Guild. First or second season? New to or watching again?
Hi :)
Thanks for the great blog post.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.
:)
Love @RKCharron

I hope you finish the synop! Good luck!
Sometimes we have hummingbirds, but not very often... or we don't see them. I have a cat curled around my head sometimes, but cats are lighter. And lately, she's been sleeping at the bottom of my bed, to be by the window.
I'll be glad to see the cover!
If you don't know this stuff yet, it's fine...
Do you think you'll (when we get closer) do the snippets for B&B like you did for TTWD?
Do you think it will come out around April, like they have been?
And for the cover (yay!) are you doing the same thing as TTWD? (with the darker themed cover?)
Thanks! and good luck again : )
: )
Yunaleska, you never need to ask permission to link to my blog posts. ; )
Robert, second season, first time watching. With my writing, I rarely have time to watch. But I figure I'll be up to speed when Season 3 starts on Tuesday.
Thank you, RK!
Kim, I'll be doing snippets again, and to the best of my knowledge B&B will come out around the same time as my other books, and I have some ideas as to what the cover will look like, but nothing concrete yet.
That's really exciting!
