For a variety of reasons I’ve been unable to sleep for the past three.nights. Since I’m retired, and my book is finished, that shouldn’t be such a big deal. I mean, what do I really have to do each day? Nothing. That’s what.
Except that uploading the book to Kindle Direct Publishing needed a sharp mind, and due to a lack of sleep, my mind seems to be missing. My poor friend, editor, confidante, and Kindle expert extraordinaire, Rachel Carrera, was stuck with me all afternoon as I fumbled and stumbled and basically made a mess of things until she carefully guided me to a successful resolution.
If all goes well, my very first book, Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, should be available on Kindle within the next 72 hours or less. Even without a brain I might finally be a published author!
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Can’t wait to read it!

I hope you like it! It’s very light reading. No politics, no Covid. I feel anxious and excited and scared all at the same time.

Just downloaded it! The synopsis on Amazon is not at all what I expect this to be about. Should be a fun read!

Ten chapters in…why do I feel like I’m having a conversation with your alter ego. Miss Paula is exactly the way I would picture you to be if you were standing right here in my living room! I am extremely entertained so far, but… holy cow, Sherry Derryberry… that’s a mouthful 😉

Thank you! I WISH I could be like Paula. She’s everything I’m not. I made the mistake of reading a bit of it in the middle of the night and found two typos in ten minutes! Argh!

Thank you, Lesley! I found two stupid typos in the first ten minutes of reading. And this is after having read the story until I was blue in the face. Sure hope there aren’t hundreds in there. I shouldn’t have posted that it was ready until I’d read the kindle version. It can all be fixed, but now I’m paranoid. I swear those typos weren’t in my manuscript, yet they must’ve been.

It’s still got some typos. You’d think after the millionth reading I’d have found them all. At least with kindle they can easily be fixed.
