All-Tuckered Out Friday

What great comments on this Wednesday’s blog about grief! I appreciate you readers so much.

Today, I’m taking a little break. The cool thing is that I’m now the West Virginia ACFW area coordinator! I’m very excited about this, but I’ve been busy setting up our group page. 

If you’re around WV and you’re interested in conferences going on in the state, please check my FB author page frequently. I plan to post dates/locales to that page as well (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-Day-Gilbert/255797467834948).

Also, I’ve started writing another book as I’m waiting to hear back from publishers on my Viking novel. So my brain is in creative-writer mode. Many of you know exactly what I’m talking about.

And my hubby still doesn’t have a job and I’m still homeschooling…so it’s just a little overwhelming right now. (Pray for me if you think about it! I know many of you already are!)

So I’m thinking I’ll reduce my blogging schedule to two days a week. We’ll shoot for Mondays and Fridays. I’m not too strict about my topic scheduling right now, so let’s just say each post will be something about:

1) Writing life
2) Marriage
3) Homeschooling/Parenting
4) West Virginia/Appalachian life
5) Vikings
6) Book Reviews
7) Guest Author Interview/Posts

And sometimes I might throw in those Classy Quotes, because, hey, I love to find moving quotes and share them with you!

You all are just great! 

And now I’m off to have a cup of coffee. We can only hope it’s decaf at this time of the evening…

****If we could just chillax and talk, what kind of coffee/tea would you order? I think I could go for a raspberry latte!****

    Probably a non-fat cinnamon Dolce. Love anything cinnamon! 🙂 Praying for peace and a job soon, friend! Hugs!

    Ooh, Lindsay, haven't tried that one! And Jessica…non-fat? Doesn't that just take all the fun out of those fancy drinks? Hee. Thanks for the prayers and sweet thoughts, friends!

    I have to update this post! My husband just landed a job today! How wonderful! I know it's because many of you were praying! God bless you!

    Coffee: I love me some Italian Roast – anything tall, dark, and handsome. In a coffee cup, that is! Tea: I like to make my own home-grown home-brews. I like ginger, lemon, and elderberry (berries OR flowers) together, and not just when I have a cold. And I love rose-hip, rosemary, and lavender together, and not just when I have a headache. And of course, chocolate mint. Love them funky mints.I think cutting down on the blogging is the new pink. A job. Yes. He's toast, I tell you, TOAST!

    Becky–yes, toast! In a good way!And that lavender/rose-hip/rosemary tea sounds great. Do they call that a "tisane"–what Hercules Poirot is always drinking in the Agatha Christie novels?

    I'm a big lover of tea. My current flavor of choice is Hibiscus Tea…it's yummy. Although I'm WV born, I live in Charlotte now, otherwise I'd be signing up for the conferences. Prayers for your husband to find a job. Congrats on the new book!

    Consider yourself on my prayer list! Though I'm delighted to see there's one less thing to pray about. Yay!

Looking for a Christmas read? Check out author fri Looking for a Christmas read? Check out author friend Joanna Politano’s new release, WHEN WINTER CAME TO DUNN COTTAGE: https://a.co/d/0fIKpQ3p

A stranger is wearing her missing father's coat.
And he isn't saying why…

The last place Rosalyn Snow expects to find her father's coat is beneath Exeter's old Exe Bridge.

Especially not on the back of a man fleeing the police.

Convinced the stranger holds the truth she’s spent years searching for, Rosalyn brings him home for Christmas. But Simon avoids giving answers, and what little he reveals only deepens the mystery.

As Dunn House fills with glittering guests, whispered ambitions, and holiday celebration, Simon moves through society as though he belongs there... yet he’s just as at home among the vagrants on the docks. And when Simon’s carefully guarded past reaches Dunn House during the Twelfth Night celebration, the fragile peace of the estate begins to unravel.

What has become of her father?
And who is the man wearing his coat?

Bringing Simon Balfour home might unravel Christmas.

Discovering who he is will make it unforgettable.
