And so, I Move Forward . . .

I had hoped to be over the moon with my sky-rocketing sales, but alas, it isn't happening.  I've checked my sales stats too many times to count only to see the same eight people who kindly bought my book. 

And I love and thank EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!  Do y'all feel the love?  You should because I'm giving you some serious cyber hugs and kisses . . . and none of the purchasers are family members.  And if you all didn't know I have 8, yes, EIGHT, brothers and sisters and their children, many of them adults with children of their own.  And did any of them support little sis, as of the writing of this blog--NOPE.

So you see how my family rolls.  Supportive from the ground up . . . Yeah, right.  And though you may think this is sour grapes, it isn't.  This is just the same old, same old in my family.

And I did the only thing I vowed I would never do--that I'd let other's responses, or lack of, affect my view of self.  So, I'm not selling my book.  Well, I'm not really marketing it right now.  It's a very holiday oriented story.  And the last time I looked Valentines Day ALWAYS comes before St. Patrick's Day. 
Leprechauns simply aren't on anyone's mind right now.

But they are on mine.  I thought about LOST LEPRECHAUN LOOT all last week and I realized that my leprechauns wouldn't let Kyte Webber get the last laugh.  Payback would be on their mind. I brainstormed with my peep, Laura (she of the wonderful book cover) and, though I won't use any of her suggestions, she did get my sluggish brain juices flowing. 

"I know what we're going to do today, Ferb."

Yes, peeps, I've been researching.  Nasty word, but it does help ordering one's mythical characters.  And I have three chapter books to write.  Each leprechaun from LLL will be featured in his own payback story.

Do I have any idea what the stories are?

Uh, I have NO FREAKIN' CLUE!  But I'll start writing tomorrow.

Until later, Peeps!

And do a sista a favor and pass LLL's purchasing link (upper right hand corner of this blog) if you liked the story or if you think another person might enjoy it.  'cause God knows my family doesn't give a darn.  And this is pretty much par for the course with my family, so it isn't as hurtful as it would have been in the past.

Thanks.
