On Going Recluse…

I know that’s a weird status right after a book launch…and don’t fear, I’m not talking about a BROWN recluse spider! But I’ve learned a few things during this launch. One is this: I have to get serious about writing my next book and stop focusing on marketing.

One of the Gibson Girls studiously writing…

This is hard for me, because I like interacting with people, guest posting, giving away books, and the like. However, I know some of you are now waiting for book two in either the Vikings of the New World Saga or the Murder in the Mountains series. And that’s more important than marketing, which I’m hoping won’t need to be such a massive effort on my part as word of mouth gets out on these books.

So! I’m reclusing it the rest of this summer, and possibly into the fall. I have some great guest posts going up on Mondays here, and I’ll be visiting blogs/doing giveaways of Miranda Warning, but I’ll probably link to those through my Pinterest board here or my Facebook Author page here. You know you can always contact me via my contact form here, and I’ll be reading Amazon/Goodreads reviews as I write my next books…please be sure and leave a review as to which characters you liked in Miranda Warning!

And I’d love your reader pictures with Miranda Warning! Whether E-books or softcovers, just send your pics to me at heatherdaygilbert (at) gmail (dot) com and I’ll post to my Pinterest board and Facebook Author wall! Creative pics welcome!

As for the near future, I’ll be here:

June 23 (today) —Guest posting on Author Tina Forkner‘s blog here.

June 27–Author Janet Sketchley interviews Nikki Jo of Miranda Warning here. You know I love me some Nikki Jo Spencer.

June 30–Author Janet Sketchley‘s review of Miranda Warning here.  

And don’t forget–the Goodreads giveaway of Miranda Warning is going on until July 7th here!

Thank you all for all your efforts to get the word out for Miranda Warning launch! Another thing I realized is that I don’t want to do a specific launch day anymore…maybe just a launch MONTH so I can tell you ASAP when the books go live!

Here’s looking at a social media recluse writing fest…I’ll update you all as soon as another book is coming down the pike!

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
