Yup, I’m Jumping on the “Bloggy-Break” Train!

Thank you all so much for visiting my guest post at Southern Writers on Wednesday! Loved your comments!

So, I’ve decided that since my brain is all but derailed this month, I need to take a blogging break. Still waiting to hear back on submissions for my Viking novel (yes, I’ll freely admit it’s been almost 10 months of waiting now!), and I’m still writing my next (non-Viking) novel to take my mind off my wait. I’d like to get this one finished by January, which means I need to add a mere 40,000 words between now and then.

SO, I’m going to hunker down and write. I’ll miss you blog-readers dreadfully in December! Your comments just brighten my days. I promise to be back and hopefully refreshed in January. AND if I get any spectacular news between now and then, I’ll definitely share with you!

Merry Christmas and let’s hope it’s a VERY Happy New Year…2013, here we come!

–Heather

    DL! Where've you been? And sorry about that. Come back in January. Do you have a FB author page? Mine's http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heather-Day-Gilbert/255797467834948 and I'll try to check in now and then throughout December over there.

    I might be boarding that train with you, Heather. I'm worn out from NaNo and other projects. I hope Santa brings you some good news! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hi, I’m Heather…

I write contemporary mysteries and Viking historicals. Born and brought up in the mountains of West Virginia, I enjoy writing about small towns, family relationships, and women who aren't afraid to protect those they love. Read More…

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
