Today I'm visiting my friends at The Crime Writers' Chronicle BlogSpot - come by and say "Hey!"  http://www.crimewriters.blogspot.com/
AND - a little more news.  Squeeeeeee! WHIMSEY is #3 at Amazon overall in "Lowcountry Novels." And NUMBER ONE in Kindle "Lowcountry Novels." Holy Kittens, as my friend Luan Stauss would say. Thanks, everyone - this would not be happening without so much support from all of you. SMOOCHES!!

Today I am a happy girl! 

I went to Amazon to see how Whimsey is doing.

I typed "Lowcountry Novels" in the search box and Whimsey is #15!!!  Yay!!!!  There it is, right behind some of my favorite writers, including Dorothea Benton Frank and Anne Rivers Siddons.

And THEN - to top that - it's #4 in Lowcountry Novels in the Amazon Kindle Store!!!  wow.

Y'all - Life is Good. 

And I thank each of you for supporting me, and Whimsey, from the beginning.  Hugs to you all!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!!!

here's a photo of me and my mom from this past Christmas -

She's just the best, and I love her to the moon and back.

I've been doing a little blogging at my other place - Meanderings and Muses.  I've been a little absent from there recently, and trying to make up for it as I can.

I wrote a bit about an advance reading copy I received this week from Louise Penny of her latest Three Pines novel, "How The Light Gets In."  Are you familiar with the series?  Ooooh - it is divine!  If you haven't read any of the books yet, I suggest (as does Louise) you start with Book #1, "Still Life."  Let me know what you think, please!

AND - Donald and I celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary yesterday.  I blogged about it too.

So scoot over to Meanderings and Muses if you have a minute, please, for a little visit - http://www.meanderingsandmuses.com/

and wishing you all the best.

I'm having a Give-Away at Goodreads!  Check out my "Events" page for details!



May 8, 2013 - -

I'm home from the Malice Domestic convention and I'm blogging about it at the "Me Blogging" page.

If you're new to the Whimsey page and here for a little browse about, or if you're looking for something in particular, just click on the page tabs on the right. 

I hope you enjoy your visit, and will check back often. 

The "Events" tab is where I'll be listing places I'll be, including blogs around the web where I often do give-aways.

Notice how easily you can now order a copy of WHIMSEY?  Just click the "Buy Whimsey: a Novel" page tab to your right and you have several buying options, and hopefully one will suit your personal preference.  And again, I thank you all for your support.

Whimsey is gaining new readers every day, and it's because of those of you who discovered it early and helped spread "The Whimsey Word," and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

New bookstores are adding it to their shelves and slowly, but surely, people are hearing about the magical Island of Whimsey. 

I am now busy at work on Whimsey Book #2.  (which I'm going to be blogging about soon, so if you're interested, be sure and check the "Me Blogging" page which you can click to on your right). 

 

 

 

 

 

note to those who wish to leave comments. I had to enable the "Comments Moderation" feature.  If your comment doesn't show up, it means I'm away from the computer and unable to moderate.  But, not to worry - I always come back! And I always love finding comments. Thanks for understanding, and thanks for visiting.
