What’s a gnome doing here? My very talented mom made this for me. If you look closely, the sign it is holding says, “Perfectly Imperfect Gnome”. I thought that was fitting given the title of this post.
I’ve been asked if Perfectly Imperfect Pixie will come out in an audiobook. I’m happy to report that it will! This is my first foray into audiobooks (I’m a reader, not a listener). The process is just getting started. From what I understand, it will take a few months to complete and get out there. The audiobook version will be available on audible and I will make a post when that happens.
I’ve had several readers ask if I plan to write a sequel to Perfectly Imperfect Pixie. The answer is, yes! Kind of . . . it’s not a sequel per se. “Perfectly Perfect Peaches” will be set in the same world and will follow the story of Peaches’s and Lucroy’s relationship told from their POV’s. Phil, Sedrick, and the children will show up throughout, but they aren’t the main focus. I’m about 2/3 of the way done with the book but it won’t go to the editor until early April. At this point, I’m hoping for a mid-summer to late-summer release date.
In the meantime, the first book in the a contemporary m/m romance mystery series, Maverick Insurance Mysteries, is due out in February. The title is, “No Good Deed”. As always, I will post when it is available as well.
As for my full time job . . . we are still waiting on the clinic addition to be finished . . . ugh. We are all ready to spread out a little more. In particular, I’m thrilled we are getting another bathroom in the clinic. I know that sounds silly, but come on, we are a growing group of ladies and we all know bathroom space can be at a premium.
A lot of the edition is complete, but as with everything right now, it’s a lot of hurry up and wait. And wait . . . and wait . . . and . . . well, you get the idea. The owner of the clinic just told me that the flooring can’t be installed until March. Worker shortages are really starting to wear. It’s all over the place. As I think I posted before, I often find myself humming, “Where’d All the Good People Go?” by Jack Johnson. Unfortunately, they have to put the new flooring down before they can finish the new bathroom . . . sigh . . .
Fen Fen and Newton are doing well. Depending on how this week goes, they both might have anesthetic procedures. We tend to fit our own pets in as time allows. I still haven’t figured out if veterinarians’ pets are fortunate or not. At least Fen gets to go into work with me. I often envy him, as he’s laying on his bed beneath my desk, serenading us with his heavy snores.
That’s all for now. I hope you are all well. Mental and physical wellness continues to be a struggle, but I wish each and every one of you the best of luck with that endeavor.
Thank you all for reading Perfectly Imperfect Pixie. I’ve been amazed by the response it’s gotten and genuinely humbled. I always hope my stories are entertaining and help take away from the monotony of the day. If I could, I’d live in my imagination 24-7.
