No Good Deed

Happy almost end of February! I say that because I’m not a fan of winter. Although, I really can’t complain because this past February has been temperate. The weather is just so unpredictable. Regardless, I’m still ready to move along the calendar year and get closer to spring and summer.

As you can see by the post, a new book gets released. Yeah! “No Good Deed” should be available tomorrow, February 27th on kindle (e-book) and paperback. This one is a contemporary, m/m mystery romance. The follow up book, “Goes Unpunished” will hopefully be out in late spring/early summer. I’m hopeful there will be more in this series, but would like to see readers’ responses. If it is well received, then I will definitely do more. I’ve grown very fond of Perry and Nate, as well as Perry’s cats—Apollo and Starbuck (so say we all). The dedication in “No Good Deed” is very close to my heart and something that was difficult to share.

For those interested in the pixie series, the follow up to “Perfectly Imperfect Pixie” is written, but hasn’t gone through any editing yet. It is set to go for line editing in early April. It normally takes 2-3 months for all the editing to get done and for me to get a book ready for release. Given that, I’m hopeful Peaches story, “Perfectly Perfect Peaches” will be available by late summer, early fall at the latest. I just got started writing a third pixie book this morning. I’m not sure what it will be called yet, but I’m eager to get into Parsley’s story. I’m not sure when the audiobook version of “Perfectly Imperfect Pixie” will be out. My latest update is that they’ve cast the readers. I’m curious to hear what it sounds like.

On the veterinary front, our clinic addition still isn’t done . . . long sigh . . . It is so close it’s almost painful. We are still waiting on the flooring to get done. From what I understand, they are scheduled to do this sometime in March, but I have no idea when in March. When we are really busy and in desperate need of more exam rooms, I stare through the window at the new addition and think longingly about the two extra rooms that are there, just waiting.

I went to a veterinary conference last week. It’s the first time I’ve been in large groups of people since COVID (that’s become a thing now, I’ve noticed. Saying pre, or before, COVID and after). I have to say, I personally haven’t missed those kinds of things. I kind of liked staying home and having zoom conferences. Alas, that doesn’t seem like something that will stick.

Newton and Fennik are still doing well. Newton is increasingly bullying Fen. I’m sure it has something to do with the dynamic of losing his brother, Copernicus, last year. I’m no closer to reading Newton’s mind and understanding his actions than I am any cat. To me, though, that’s the beauty of them.

Until the next post, I hope you are all doing well and managing to enjoy life. That’s often a difficult combination to achieve, but always worth the effort.
