Making Changes, Cover Changes That Is

Introducing the new cover for Second Chance for First Love. The original cover was deemed too salacious to be advertised on Amazon.

After much deliberation, it was decided to revamp the cover, making it more palatable to the Puritanical algorithm Amazon evidently uses for book covers but nothing else it advertises.

I'm not as upset about this outcome as I might have been. In truth, I like the new cover better. So, apparently, does Amazon as the book is now being advertised via their Kindle Lock-Screen promotional channel.

In other news regarding the Lakes Region Love Stories series, the second book in the series is now with my editor and my primary beta reader. Tentatively titled Taylor Made Love, the story is about a boy who leaves his dysfunctional blended family in North Carolina to live with his late father's sister and brother in law in New Hampshire while he attends Plymouth State College. Darren, everyone calls him Ren, makes new friends, falls in and out of love, and discovers that sometimes the One isn't the one you thought she'd be.

Work is still ongoing on my next novel, Setting Friday Free.  I'm currently revising and editing the umpteenth draft. Eventually, I will have to say enough is enough and send it on to my editor, but today is not that day.

 Alas, as does each camping trip, ours ended shortly after 8 a.m. this morning when we pulled out of our campsite and headed home. Now, back in the house and seated by the fireplace, I am resting up from our active weekend in preparation for a full five days of teaching before we break for a week over the Thanksgiving holiday. During our trip, we visited Myrtle Beach State Park. Enjoy this panoramic view of the park's beach. Not only did we walk on the beach, but we hiked a couple of the short trails through the coastal forest portion of the park. These photos I took of the pond near one of the trails look almost like paintings. I did get some work done on my NANOWRIMO 2021 project, though, again, I did not write as much as I'd hoped. Over the next two weeks, I have a lot of catching up to do.

Rainy Monday - Wet Start to Turkey Day Vacation

  It's the feeling that comes over you on your first day off work when your alarm goes off at the time you normally get up to begin your day. Frustration, exasperation, anger, and a quick hand to the clock to turn the darn thing off. Then, you lie back down and try to go back to sleep. No joy. So you get up out of bed, get dressed in comfortable clothes, and face the day. To make it worse, just as you decide to take the dog for a walk, the tell-tale sounds of raindrops hitting the roof inform you that the rain predicted for later in the morning has arrived early. You apologize to the dog and decide to dust the living room instead. After all, company is coming for Thanksgiving in a couple of days. If it was just your adult sons, you might not be so particular about the house cleaning. But, your younger son is bringing his girlfriend home and you want her to believe you are an excellent housekeeper. There is little doubt, however, that she's aware of the extra effort you made on ...
