Sorry I didn’t get round everyone last week; I was felled by a migraine. I always think of my Dad when I stick a cool strip on my forehead - he had to manage with bags of ice.
My chevron crochet blanket is progressing nicely. These are the right length. Only 7 more to finish off, in theory, but I might need another strip or two. I’ve not tried out the border yet.
I also adapted a pair of earrings to wear with one of my Zuri dresses, for when I’m sparkling
at a group or a bookshop manager!
My publisher emailed me yesterday to say one of the reviewers finished my book in a day and couldn’t put it down. Brian typically said he was glad he’d used superglue on it 😂
Seriously, good reviews are so important. My publisher is contacting an Agent for American publishers to see if A Sense for Silver can be published there. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m switching off marketing mode to write more; I’ve promised a sequel!
And finally…
Take care
Hugs

ReplyDeleteOh Lynne, what wonderful news about the review. I wish I coould afford to get your book, but it isn't in the cards right now.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice earrings. Wish I could wear jewelry, but metal against my skin is like setting my skin on fire. Sending kitty hugs to Bella and Gracie. Happy WOYWW from # 7.
Sorry to hear about the migraine. I suffer with it occasionally too so I know how it feels. I take Migraleve which helps to prevent the sickness too if you catch it early. The book sounds as though it's going well you must be very pleased, well done. Wishing you a very happy and productive woyww, Angela x14x
ReplyDeleteExciting times! How fab to get such a great review and a foray into the American market, wow, the world beckons! Sorry you’ve been so rough this week, I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better, hope that continues. The colours in your crochet and earrings are fab, I do like Zuri dresses, they’re fun!

Oh the book is doing so well Lynne, you must be ever so pleased! I love the earrings and the idea of you sparkling as you meet and greet!
ReplyDeleteDeep in your book now, but as I only find time to read at breakfast and in waiting rooms, I'm not done yet! It makes a nice change from my usual grim and gritty choices LOL! I'll be sure to leave a review when I finish. Lovely crochet blanket (and had to laugh at the knit vs crochet comment in the book. Pet peeve when you search for one or the other and you get BOTH in the search results. Grrr) and will be fun to see it done. Your earings remind me a tiny bit of Dorset Buttons! Been forever since I made those.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy WOYWW!

Congrats on the book review.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have those ear rings to wear with the Zuri dresses (but what are they?). Also on the strips you are working a great deal so maybe it is time to sit and think about the sequel.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx
Meows to Gracie and Bella from Inky and Mittsy! Inky makes a showing in my blog today, I will try and get Mittsy for next week! Your book is available on Amazon in Canada, so I will be sure to pick it up - I read a lot on Kindle and that is all that is available so that is great! Sounds like a fun book! Your earrings are beautiful, perfect for all those book signings you will be going to. Maybe someday you will come to Canada to sign some books! Have a great week, Lindart #21

ReplyDeleteThe last funny made me smile!
Happy WOYWW! Susan #11
Great funnies as ever, think the cat one is my fave. Those ear rings are super cute. Sorry to hear you suffer with migraine, my best friend used to get them, I remember she would be prostrate and nothing much helped. Sorry I'm so late, my week always seems to fall into chaos Thurs/Friday. Have a good week, love n hugs Cindyxx #16
