By the time you read this, I'll be knee-deep in trying to get ready for a program I'm giving on social media...because everyone wants to listen to me for an hour and a half.
Note to self: Make sure hair looks great on Saturday, in the event everything that falls out of my mouth is complete drivel. Fire up curling iron, set bear grease out to soften, buy more barbed wire.
Seeing as I'll spend the rest of the day stressing myself out trying to write a speech that doesn't start with, "Four score and seven years ago," I don't have a story today, but what I do have is even better.
"Even better?" you say.
Even better. Because today, Elisa over at The Crazy Life of a Writing Mom has just had her second book, The Sword of Senack, released!
*insert sounds of many hands clapping*
Here's a little bit about it: (stolen from her website, respectively)
"Aliya Fisher knows nothing about her true heritage until a vindictive sorceress kidnaps her brother and sister. The young adventurer must take up her birthright, battle eerie creatures, and find the Sword of Senack if she hopes to best the witch. But even if Aliya finds the famed weapon and survives the perilous oceanic journey, the enchantress is far more than she appears. How does one defeat an immortal who lusts for revenge?"
If you don't already know Elisa, her wonderful work, or how sweet she is, get on over there and check out the book, the blog, the woman, the legend. Also, she's giving away a Kindle Fire, so hurry if you enjoy awesome prizes as much as I enjoy Mounds bars melted into a smooth paste and spread on a variety of foods.
This is a Kindle Fire. That message your brain's sending you right now can be loosely translated as, "I want that."
And now, I'm off to work on Saturday's undertaking. If you need anything, I'll be turning in circles, in my backyard.
Until Next Time, Readers!
P.S. I apologize for the odd font sizes today. Blogger woke up and decided that I'm it's 1,000,000 least favorite person ever.

I've already read--& LOVED--Elsia's book so I'd like to discuss something else. Granted, Mounds Bars are yummy, but have you ever tried melted Snickers Bars over anything?
ReplyDeleteUmm "yes" to all of the above. There just aren't enough Snickers ou there for how many meals I eat a day.
DeleteFishducky don't encourage her! lol I think you should start your speech out with Four score and seven years ago. Bet you'd get a few laughs right off the bat. Also wear a Napoleon hat and slip your hand in over your heart in a jacket! You will be a smash!
ReplyDeleteAs for Elisa and her book.. You spoke truth about all of the above! She is awesome and her book is amazing!
Do you think I could get one of those hats at Party City?
Delete"Four blogs and seven RSS feeds ago..."
ReplyDeleteOooh...I like that.
DeleteAs we say at our house, break a leg....someone else's. We're a karate family. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how that'll go over with my audience. Should I ask for a volunteer?
DeleteI feel terrible that whilst I was reading your post I read the title as The Sword of Smack. I need more sleep.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that that particular book hasn't been written yet. Go for it, Sarah!
DeleteThat sounds like an interesting book! Very spoooooky. Ahhh!! Congratulations on your upcoming speech, you smart lady.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelley! Always love when you pop over to the blog!
DeleteWell, Ms Kellerman, First let me say I understand "curling iron", but "bear grease" & "barbed wire"...huh? "Four score and seven years ago" or was it "Four blogs & 7 RSS feeds ago"?...huh? *scratches head & sane mind sets in gear..."eeeeekkkkk what dat iah?"
ReplyDeleteTakes deep breath...Okay I'm back...Wow I surely feel superdeedooperdee intimidated entering this world of writers! What am I getting myself into? But, I'm still gonna chase my dream and see where it takes me!

P.S. oh yea...what I really wanted to say...Your hair looked great! Your presentation on social-media was awesome! I left with more tools and knowledge than what I came in with. I'm happy I attended and blessed that you were the presenter! Although, would've been really impressive to come in and find a Napoleons hat on your head! And I'm sure glad you didn't ask for any voluteers...I would have been the first one with hand raised going "ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me! "/
Hey Myra! I'm so happy you had a good time and I didn't talk your ear off..lol. Don't be intimidated. You'll meet a lot of nice people here, and the more you start navigating the blogging world, the easier and more fun it is!
DeleteNext time, the Napoleon hat is a must!
Paige, Thank you for this. You are golden :)
