“Cherish your excitement while you have it.”
Lucy Varna
Thank you, Spidey, for reminding me to live in this wonderful moment while it is here!
Well, unless you have been living under a rock the last couple of weeks, you will know that my big re-release is happening tomorrow.
Marriage Unarranged, my original book baby, has got her second wind and is being released by Spellbound Books as a part of my three-book deal with them.
I remember the lead up to my original release when I self-published. There was so much to do, aside from writing the words. From the cover to the formatting, the editing, finding beta readers, organising marketing and blog tours… it was busy.
This time, I am able to revel in the excitement a little more, in a different way, since a lot of the above is already done, or being dealt with by the publishers.
Okay, so there isn’t a new cover, but it is being tweaked, and I am even more excited that there is a ‘call to buy’ quote from my all-time favourite author, Amanda Prowse, being added to the front. I am thrilled by that!
Minor edits were done, but nothing to change the storyline, as they were more than happy with everything that had already been done.
And the lovely Zoe-Lee O’Farrell has arranged the book tour, so all I am doing is sitting here, making Tiktoks about the release, reposting the content and just generally getting excited!
It releases tomorrow, initially on Kindle, and I am still on my half term break, though my own children are back in school tomorrow, so once I have dropped them off, and taken my mother-in-law for a blood test, I can celebrate the rerelease in whichever way I please!
I can’t wait to receive my new copies when the paperback hits a week later, but right now, let me enjoy this!

If you have already pre-ordered, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜🥰🤗
Obviously, I am still finishing draft one of book 2, but that can take a back seat, for the day, as I relish in my fun!
So, please join me and share my excitement, and while you’re at it, tell me something you are excited about, too, so I can be happy for you, too!
Wishing you a wonderfully peaceful Sunday, Peeps!

Linda’s SoCS prompt.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “iron(y).” Use “iron,” use “irony,” or use both. Use them any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use both. Have fun!
I love to iron, I do.
Standing in my laundry area, with my music on, I can press away to my heart’s content!
The irony lies in the fact that I find it gets too hot for me in the summer months, and then I stand, and sweat as I iron, hoping that I don’t end up needing to wash said clothes, again!
I love to iron, I do.
But please tell my son that he doesn’t need to wear three outfits a day! It’s hard enough getting the grass stains out of his cricket whites, without adding to the general volume of laundry that passes through to the basket.
I love to iron, I do.
But not that much!

It’s been a while, but I thought I would take part in the syllabic poetry challenge, Colleen hosts every week!
It’s the fifth Tuesday of the month! #ShareYourDay is a way to get to know each other better. Take a photo and write a syllabic poem about your day. Don’t think on it too hard. Make it fun. The photo does not need to be a selfie. If you don’t have access to a camera, find an image on Pixabay.com (please add the credits) that best describes your day.
