Would there be any interest in author signed copies for Christmas gifts? Let me know!

I got an unexpected and very thoughtful gift from my nephew.

He is really into old typewriters as a hobby. In a letter to him, I just wondered who ended up with my dad's old Olivetti typewriter he had used for decades.

A few days ago I got a letter back. Yes, typed on a typewriter. Well, he said to expect a gift the following day.

The package arrived and I unpacked a fully restored Olivetti typewriter. He said it was a favorite of some famous authors. I know I'm not famous but it'll be fun to use and will remind me of my dad each time. Love the metallic purple!

What a cool gift from a thoughtful guy!

I love getting feedback like this!

Hi Nell
I finished Clara’s Joy this morning and it was such a lovely book again. I read in bed and found it hard to put down but saved the ending to read this morning. At the beginning I was feeling very much like Clara and felt my spirit lifting as I read the book – powerful stuff. Such good advice both about dogs and mental health. Thank you

You all ordered your copies and got them right away.

I ordered my author copies and it took two weeks to get to me. What gives?

They finally arrived and undamaged even though poorly packed. Small miracles.

Hit the sweet spot in writing today. An easy 1600 words really makes for a happy day for me!

Want to know what else makes an author happy?

Reviews! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

They are like gold because it gives potential buyers a warm fuzzy that a book will be what they're looking for.

So, obvious begging here...if you enjoyed Clara's Joy, I'd really appreciate an Amazon review.

If I sell a million copies I might earn enough to write another. 😉

Thank you! 🥰

I’m not sure if this is true for other authors but I secretly want to interrogate everyone who has read my books.

Who were your favorite characters?

Did it come across as realistic?

Did anything surprise you?

What did you think about ‘X’?

One friend told me “She loved Grampa and nothing bad better happen to him!”.

Poor Scott has been interrogated! No harsh techniques were used, mainly just questions while we were washing dishes by hand (don’t ask).

As an author it’d be nice to know all the answers to these questions but just knowing what you read was entertaining and maybe encouraging is enough.

Thank you everyone!

Every story has its own story and that goes for Clara’s Joy as well.

Last Fall I started writing the follow-on to Clara’s Wish. I finished it but had a niggling that I may have taken the story down a different path than how it started.

I sent it to a developmental editor, and she confirmed that I had done just that.

So, in January of 2025 I pulled up a blank word document and started over from the beginning.

This time I was much happier with the more cohesive story line.

Once again, I sent it to the same editor, and she agreed.

Even so she made suggestions that I didn’t agree with…so I didn’t. The Beta readers that read that draft were fine with it.

Then there is the copy editor and proofreader to do their work. The first did a fine job but the proofreader was a huge disappointment, missing a lot of needed corrections. She offered to go over it again, but I had no confidence in her work.

Enter a talented next-door neighbor. She’s the one who found the proofreader’s mistakes. I would have been horrified if I had published without finding them.

For those who wonder why I didn’t see them, there is something that happens when you spend so much time on a story. In essence, you go blind to what is on the page because you know how the story goes. The author really does go blind even to the obvious mistakes.

The week leading up to publication I had proof copies made, and they were gone over again by my neighbor and husband.

Then comes the super stressful part for me…formatting and uploading to Amazon. In both areas there was a hiccup that really triggered my technology panic button.

I was finally notified that it had gone through but until I see the final product the mental gremlins conjure up all kinds of terrifying scenarios. Hopefully, when our copy arrives it will put the gremlins to bed once and for all.

Meanwhile I will be looking out the window for the mailman.

Clara's Joy is LIVE!

How cool is this... #1 New Release!

Link in comments if so inclined...and thank you!

My good friend told me to make sure I celebrated the release of Clara's Joy so I am.

Not with a fancy dinner or designer clothes (Ha, so NOT me!) so I chose prints of my girls at their last agility trial in 2020.

There is just a few spots left on my office wall just for them.

Clara's Joy available in under 12 hours! Eeek!

Funny pic of Eva jumping twice as high as needed. Silly girl!

Two days and counting until Clara's Joy is released.

Feel very much in limbo between anxiety and excitement.

Even though this isn't my first book, putting myself out there again is hard for this introvert.

With my nervous energy I've been raking the yard but still have twenty pines' pine straw to to rake up and move. Joy...

I also have a strong desire to rearrange my office, take multiple walks and eat too much.

A third story is in the works (who knows if it will be published) but it's hard to sit still long enough to make progress.

Someone just knock me out...

10/09/2025

Finally got confirmation that my book is ready to be published on Oct 14th!

The last two days of tech-stress has taken it's toll...even after getting the email, it's taking a long time to relax.

The writing is the fun part...

The editing is the expensive part...

The formatting/uploading to Amazon is the stressful/agonizing part.

Praying for readers to be entertained enjoyably and possibly encouraged.

That's where my joy comes in!
