30 Days 'Til Spring, 6 'Til the Daytona 500 and 14 Days 'Til Edits for Bk 3 are Due by C.H. Admirand

OK...I know, heck of a blog post title, but in case those of you are fans of any of those big events coming up, I thought I'd throw them in there. I can't wait for Spring--ever! Same thing happens every year, I'm not a big winter person, but will admit to enjoying the sight of snow (2" or less) blanketing the ground. The quiet while it is snowing is so utterly peaceful. I am a HUGE NASCAR fan and my driver's chances of getting into the Chase again this year are excellent. So far, I'm not impressed with the way the Gen6 cars race, but hey, they're new so it's a learning curve for everyone...but the Chevy's look amazing!


I'm supposed to be working on said edits for book 3 right now, but am writing a blog instead...I'm definitely sensing a pattern here. Life happens, I react and then life happens again... LOL! Maybe I should think of it as rolling with the punches.

I'm delighted to have edits to work on and a wip! Then there are books that I've gotten the rights back to that I'm going to be releasing in e-book format for the first time. That's exciting for me. Maybe now would be the time to invest in an e-reader :) It's been on my Christmas list for the last few years--refer back to paragraph two for explanation of why it's still on my list. LOL!


I have an ARC for ONE DAY IN APPLE GROVE in my hot little hands and random.org on standby waiting for me to input names. Sooooo, get ready to comment and be sure to leave your email address so I can get in touch with you.

Question: What's coming up in your life that has you counting the days??



Remember to comment and include your email address so I can get in touch with the winner.

Happy Reading!
C.H.

CH,
I'm with you. I can't wait until Spring! I'm also looking forward to season 3 of Game of Thrones (March 31st). And I'm super excited about attending the RT Booklovers Convention in KC. I can't wait to see my friends and meet readers. Plus, I'm taking part in the Jazz Breakfast and I get to wear my flapper dress again. :)

Spring Break!!! My daughter works as a dietician for a school district and she gets spring break! So I'm going to see the Houston zoo, visit the pyramids in Galveston, and just plain have fun!!!

Carolyn Brown said...

Spring...yes, yes, YES!
I'm looking forward to my first ever woman's fiction (March 5) with fingers crossed that it does well. Come on spring!

Cheryl Brooks said...

Definitely ready for spring! With freezing rain in the forecast, I'm heading south to Gatlinburg!

I too have to go along with can't wait until Spring. It's always been my favorite time of year - new beginnings and all that after too much winter. I planned for both my children's births for Spring and was lucky that it worked out perfectly lol.

Like Samantha, I'm excited to go to RT. Maybe I'll see you at the zoo, Terry. We seem to be there every other week. Okay, C.H., how is it you get 2 weeks for edits? I get like 3 days!

C.H. Admirand said...

Hi Samantha...hmmm...is Game of Thrones on HBO? I don't get the remote. LOL. I'm with you on gearing up for RT. It should be fun:) Have fun wearing your flapper dress. :)

C.H. Admirand said...

Have an awesome time on Spring Break with your daughter, Terri :) Houston Zoo sounds like fun...I didn't know there were pyramids in Galveston...I'll have to look that up :)

C.H. Admirand said...

Hey Carolyn...I'm right with you there with your first ever woman's fiction...cannot wait to get my hands on a copy!!!

C.H. Admirand said...

Hey Cheryl...it was 40 yesterday and today dipped back down into the 20s...I'm sooo ready for Spring! Have fun in Gatlinburg! :)

C.H. Admirand said...

Hi Catslady - don't you just love all the flowers and buds on the trees? It's like the Earth is waking up again after spending the winter sleeping. Spring birthdays sound like fun...our three have their birthdays in June, August and September :)

C.H. Admirand said...

Hey Shana...maybe I have a lot more to fix than you do. :) The copyedits look very light this time..yay because they're due the day after edits on book 3. :) Have fun at the zoo!

Squenn said...

I can't wait to go Savannah in the summer for vacation!

C.H. Admirand said...

Hey Squenn ... are you headed to AAD in Savannah? Can't wait it's my first one :) Hope to see you there!

I can't wait until the spring so I can come home from work and sit on my deck in my swing and read before I have to cook. There just isn't enough hours in the day to read

C.H. Admirand said...

Hey Terryscar: I am sooo jealous! You have a swing? It's been on my wish list for years. Can't imagine anything more fun than that. :)

winnie said...

C.H. Admirand said...

Yay for new book releases, bn! Our blog has new releases posted during the first week, and sometimes the second week, of every month. You're in the right place for that :)

Hey Martha! Happy early Anniversary :) I can understand wanting to celebrate, sharing your life with someone is a celebration in itself. :)
