We are currently experiencing an ‘atmospheric river’ (wiki link), aka a crazy amount of rain with actual flood warnings. This front hit the PNW last week but I think we only got the edge of it then. But it is WET now! Hopefully this deluge is translating to much needed snow on the mountains, because our fall has been way too dry overall.
Molly’s eyes are healing well and she is being great about the cone (🤞) – thank you for all the suggestions that we buy a ‘softer’ con.
Even though I haven’t finished knitting Michael’s socks, I started another brioche shawl along with a re-listen to Ilona’s Andrews, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (did you see the cover reveal they dropped today??!). And no, I haven’t blocked (aka washed) my last three finished projects yet. 😜
We’re watching the crime drama, Cross, (on Amazon Prime) and really enjoying it. It’s dark but – so far – not crazy gory. The writing is tight (always a delight when I’m not ripping the story apart as it’s unfolding) and the actors are compelling. When I’ve needed a break from it, I’m watching fourth season of the American historian drama, Gilded Age (HBO but we watch via Crave) as the episodes drop. I’m not loving this season yet, but it’s gorgeous and feels like a luxury (hopefully that makes sense).
On the work front:
I doubt anyone who reads this blog is in need of any of the Dowser Series eBooks, but I finally took the time to combine the last 6 books (technically 7) into two more box sets and also get the first box set uploaded to my store. As always all my prices are in Canadian currency. So that currently means a rather large discount – on top of the great price I’m exclusively offering to my store – for USA, UK, and EURO readers. The Australian and New Zealand dollars are about on par with Canada right now.
These new box sets are exclusive to my store. If I ever get them uploaded to other retailers the prices will be higher (see the note below).
Buying direct from your fav authors means that more of your hard earned $$ goes directly into their pockets (say 95% as opposed to 60-70%) and you actually own the eBooks/audiobooks, etc, that you purchase/download. Whereas, technically, you’re just renting books through retailers (so if you change up your eReader platform or device you might lose your books).
I will (sloooowly) get Oracle trilogy and the Reconstructionist trilogy (plus shorts) bundled and available to purchase directly from me as well.
Oh … another side thought, though this should probably be a separate post, if you ever wanted to buy ebooks or audiobooks through me as gifts (say for the upcoming holidays). I can always change the delivery email address (or get you download codes to print in a card). Also, I guess I should make some bookplates/postcards available in case anyone wants to buy a paperback or two as a gift and have it come with a bookplate. Hmm, I’ll put all of this on my to do list.
Okay! Here are the box sets in case anyone is actually interested. 🤣
Side notes on the boxsets: Dowser Box Set 1 is less expensive because you can usually get the first book for free elsewhere so I’m not ‘counting’ it in the box set (though it is included). And Dowser Box Set 3 includes Dowser 8.5, hence it being slightly more expensive. More information on the purchase pages.
I hope you aren’t getting too wet where you are!
