If we were having coffee I would be bubbling over with excitement because this weekend I’m having a tour for my new release, Heart of Fire, and I’m feeling the buzz. It might be caffeine too, this is my third cup of coffee this morning.
I would stop gesticulating long enough for you to tell me your news, and you would barely even notice the signing anyway, because you accept it’s part of who I am. And, let’s face it, there are more annoying things 😉 We would share the stories of your week, and chatter (hands and all) about new developments.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you I’m looking forward to the big A to Z reveal on Monday, but admit I’m a little behind with my scheduling. At which point, you’d shake your head because you reminded me, several times, that I need to be caught up by April the first. I would remind you of…well, my personality, and you would laugh and concede the point. I’d quickly reassure you that your influence has paid off, and I’m more organised that I’ve ever been!
As my mind has turned to blogging, I would tell you I have a new contributor on Writing Room 101. This would lead to a discussion about cooperative working, as I enjoy it so much and you do too. I’d slip in the subject of Arrow because, what can I say, I take every opportunity to talk about the show and I love contributing at Sourcerer. As I also like a great segue, I would mention that I’m going to be contributing over at Comparative Geeks, which is a great site and I’m thrilled about the new adventure.
If we were having coffee you would give me a gentle nudge, because I have a busy weekend with the tour and I want to keep on top of that. We would then part ways, as we do have other friends to catch up with and a dozen other things to do. Still, we enjoy our weekly coffee time and say as much 🙂
Until next time.

Congrats, Mel, on the tour! Woot woot! Have an amazing weekend! I loved your way of encouraging yourself, and me, to get the April A-to-Z scheduling done. 😀
Sounds like our personalities might be good friends.
Thanks, Carrie 🙂 I hope you have an amazing weekend too. I’ll look forward to catching up with you along the road from A to Z – I’m sure we will get on famously 😉
I’m looking forward to checking out the tour! Congrats again on the new release, I’m really excited for you 🙂
Thank you, Callum. I can always rely on my friends 😀
That’s what we’re here for! 🙂
Yikes, Melissa. Did I miss the opportunity to host your new book on my blog or can I still get in on that?
It’s a book I published under my pseudonym – a contemporary romance. But I have another coming out under my own name next month if you want to host that. Thanks for the offer of support 🙂 have a great weekend.
Congrats on the tour!! I’m in the home stretch of mine and there is lots to keep on top of! Enjoy! And good luck with the A- posts – you’re not the only one way behind in scheduling! Have a great week!
Thanks, Holly. It’s good to know I’m not the only one! Enjoy the home stretch and have a lovely week 🙂
Congrats on the tour that’s amazing news! You’re forgiven for bouncing around 🙂
As for the theme reveal… I know what I want to write about, but I haven’t scheduled any posts yet – haven’t had time. I’m hoping to do it on the day or one day in advance at this point, I’ve planned the days out but not written anything.
Thank you for the coffee dear xx
Thanks, Conny, I’m glad you stopped by 🙂 I know I should relax about the A to Z, and I guess I could always do the same because I know what I’m going to talk about. Have a great weekend x
Yay for the tour!
I’m still working on A to Z posts myself, and am really just getting started, so you’re not alone. 😉
Phew! That makes me feel so much better 😀 The tour is going well, thank you.
Oh dear, you’re making me panic about the A-Z challenge! I liked the Facebook page when a friend told me about it a few weeks ago, but I haven’t signed up, decided on a theme, or planned a schedule. Yeeesh. OK, i’d better get moving!
I hope your Heart of Fire release is a big success!
Thank you, I appreciate that 🙂 You have 11 days left to sign up, so once you decide on a theme (not wanting to add to the panic, but the theme reveal is tomorrow!) and then you add your name and you can do what a lot of others do – write them on the fly!
I am still working on my A to Z also, so don’t feel alone there. I am waiting to pick up your new book next month. So am anxious for it to get here! Good luck on the tours!
It’s great to know I’m not alone, I feel so much better! And thank you so much for your interest in the book. The tour is a lot of fun 🙂
Congrats on your new book release!
Thank you 😀
There’s so much coming up for you! Can’t wait to see it all, though I hope you also get some time to relax too 😀
Yeah, I guess I’ll have to schedule that in too ;-D It is a wonderful community, but I think you all created a monster when you encouraged me to spread my wings!!
