Or maybe it’s just I’ve never had a morning in which NO one visited my little corner of Gen. Busy shopping? Are you actually working? 0_0
Well, then… I will continue futzing with the layout of Second of All and writing on Third Time’s the Charm. Remember to vote in the poll if you want me to write you a Valentine’s Day short romance.
and/or perhaps the snippets of Second of All posted on this site. I’ve asked a few people already based on a few different ideas (and of course the old cover idea I had ages ago) for their opinions on this cover but I especially want the opinion right now of those who are familiar with the trilogy.
To be honest, I really prefer either of these (versus a darker background), but I am willing to be talked out of it. Well, you know me, more like argued out of it. LOL

Edited to say, I’ve picked the one on the right. You can look in the Second of All tab to the right to see the layout.
Yep, I set up another giveaway at Goodreads and it’s set to close on December 20th, just in time for the holidays, and JUST in time for the release of Second of All in January!
Are you excited?
I’m excited.
Nervous, anxious, slightly nauseous, but mostly… excited.
;P
Enter to win———->

Pretty please, sugar and frosting on top.
Smooches, Gen.
I love poetry (if you know me in real life, this is nothing new to you). What I love most is how in a few words the author can evoke an image that us painters of prose take pages to express. I also love how, like songs, they compliment a memory or story within your head. This poem in particular made me think so strongly of Kiki and James. Thanks, Beth!
I have a deadline to get these Second of All revisions out before Thanksgiving. SO, I will post the Liebster questions and nominations on Turkey Day probably. I haven’t forgotten, but if I want to get this book out by January, I have to be Good Gennie and focus.
And that’s what you guys want too, right? I’m very excited about this book. I hope you enjoy it in all its introspective yet passionate glory.
*smooches*
Gen.
Been thinking about doing an author Q&A at Goodreads along with the giveaway next month. Would any of you be willing to show up and ask questions so I don’t talk to myself? LOL
And thank you again and again for all the support! Keep getting the word out about The Bird Day Battalion! Thanksgiving is only a week away!
And by the way? Jay Ryan? Besides being mega HAWT, he’s almost exactly how I pictured Tommy Gates writing him in First, I Love You only with green eyes. So the next time you read Tommy looking at someone through the fringes of his hair…say in Second of All…hint hint…here ya go:
Not watching Beauty and the Beast? You really should. And not just because Jay Ryan periodically takes his shirt off and is super buff and broody and dark and dangerous…mmnnnnn… but because it’s also a good police procedural.
LOL
