I forgot to finish sending comp copies of my new book FABULOUSLY FRUGAL to contributors so I took care of that today. 


Also wrote a blog post about FF. It’s a “story behind the story” kind of post. Check it out here.  


Did some website updates today. Moved FF to my Books page and added the poetry book to the “Coming Soon!” page.  

Yesterday I started to put together the poetry book on the template file and getting it formatted but the keyboard broke and so I could not finish it. It was late at night when we had the new keyboard set up and ready to go. I finished working on it today and uploaded the file. Also added the price for the book as well as other selling info. Took care of the cover business for this book.

I got a new official URL for my Facebook author page. Yay! It's here: https://www.facebook.com/authordawncolclasure/

Got the poetry book back from editor and reviewed the edits and revision requests. No time to fix it up yet.

Sent complimentary copies of FABULOUSLY FRUGAL to everyone who contributed to it. Well, ALMOST everyone! I didn't have time to send it to every single person but I sent it to most of the people. Hopefully I can finish sending it to EVERYONE tomorrow. Also sent a copy of it to the person I dedicated the book to. She replied with her thanks.

Got a response from the journalist/photographer whose pictures were offered to include in the old/new haunted houses book. He shared with me info about his experiences. I need to think about his email before I respond because there are quite a few directions I want to take -- maybe including his experiences, info about stories he gathered, travels, etc., in addition to stuff about the pictures.

No time to work on the YA fantasy novel today. Boo! Hopefully I can get caught up tomorrow.
