Good morning! Today’s post will link up to Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post, and Book Journey, for What Are You Reading?
**Mailbox Monday is now hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
Good morning, Bloggers! Grab some coffee, and let’s talk about our weeks.
It has been an awesome week, full of interesting and unexpected happenings. Not a lot of reading going on here, but my novel Interior Designs is in production! Soon it will be available, and it feels like a very long time coming.

Hi Laurel-Rain,
First off, Many Congratulations on getting the new book into production, I hope that it will be a huge success for you.
I too, have ‘Love Story, With Murders’ in my review stack, however I obtained my copy via a Kindle download link from Netgalley.
I can’t wait to read your thoughts about ‘The Lost Years’. This seems like such a vast change in style and genre for Mary Higgins Clark, however I have never been disappointed by any of her work to date, so this is a definite for my reading list.
Thanks for another interesting post and I hope that your week is a good one.

Yes, after the long process of writing, editing, etc., it does seem as if it is coming together rather quickly. But, of course, it only FEELS that way. It was a long journey.
