Monday Musings from Monica: Guinevere, Vampires and All Things Seven Sisters

Well another Monday is here and I’m excited about it! I’m one of those weirdoes that looks forward to the beginning of the week because it always feels like the beginning of something…hopefully something good. Even though I consider myself a pantser, meaning I don’t like to create detailed outlines when it comes to my books, in my business life and in my personal life I do enjoy a bit of planning. I was joking with my husband last week that I’m the girl that makes lists about the lists I need to make.

We are into November and I’m thinking about the New Year. What will the New Year hold? I’m looking forward to a HAPPY year with family and friends and I’m looking forward to finding new ways to connect with all of you, my extended family.

As you know, my 2017 publishing calendar was jam-packed and I had hoped to end this year delivering to you all the books I had promised. I never like to disappoint my readers although I do so occasionally. However, due to my personal issues this year, I’ve had to scale back my writing goals for 2017. I would normally feel bad about doing so but you know what happened, with my brother's passing, with my husband's surgery — it’s been one thing after another. But I’m not the girl that likes to make excuses so I do plan on finishing the year strong.

In November you will get the sixth book in the Gulf Coast Paranormal series and that is The Ghost Lights of Forrest Field and at the end of November you will receive Christmas at Seven Sisters. Please note that if you are on my mailing list last year you already received this particularly novella as a PDF. However, not everyone got to read the book so I put it on Amazon as a $.99 deal and it releases on November 30. Christmas at Seven Sisters is a vignette, a trilogy of Christmas stories featuring some of your favorite and maybe least favorite characters from that novel.

In December, you will receive, if you preorder, Guinevere Forever that is Book One in the Guinevere Forever trilogy. The story will feature the Arthurian fantasy but with a twist – Guinevere is a vampire. Long live the Undead Queen! You can check out the description of the book on the books detail page. I decided to make this book available across all channels. So no matter what your reading device or app, you can read with a Nook, with Kobo or your iPhone or a Kindle. 

Also available in December will be the next Return to Seven Sisters Book and that is Blooms Torn Asunder. I will have the preorder up for that by the end of this month with the link posted on my Facebook page so you can grab your copy. You’ll receive it on Christmas Eve!

So that’ll be all that I can deliver for the rest of this year but I do believe that with some focus in planning I can cover all the books that were promised you and then some in 2018. I’m really looking forward to what the year brings and I also want to spend a little time getting to know all of you better.

PS You won’t believe what my assistant and I have planned. Let’s just say were making this whole ghost hunting thing a reality. That’s all I can tell you for now but until next Monday or perhaps the Monday after that have a good one!
