Happy Thanksgiving

If you are in the new mood for a sweet Thanksgiving read, please check out my new short story release, A Thankful Heart.

A Thankful Heart Cover and Release Date

Here's my cover for A Thankful Heart, my Thanksgiving short story due to come out November 16, 2019 from JMS Books. This is a brand new story for this year. 

Happy Thanksgiving And Progress

I'm still working on finishing up Eternally His and Finally His. It's going fine but I am not sure I will have them both done by Thanksgiving. I'm still trying by the end of Thanksgiving weekend though. End of November at the latest. I know I can manage that. I'll still give myself December off writing wise.

There's still time to enter the contest for More Than Enough.

Since this will be my last post until after Thanksgiving, I wish everyone in the United States who celebrates it a great Thanksgiving.

Wednesday Musings - Thankful

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
Buddha

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
Oprah

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
Albert Schweitser

The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.
Dante Rossetti

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.
E.P. Powell

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?
Erma Bombeck

It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.
Alistair Cooke

There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry

Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty.
Michael Dresser

O Lord that lends me life,
Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.
William Shakespeare

Monday Updates

All right, I'm back.

This is a short work week for those of us in the United States who don't work retail. For those of you who do you have my sympathy for Black Friday. This is an especially short week for me since I also took Wednesday off. Hooray!

Now that I have buckled down and turned my attention 100% to The Impersonator I got a lot done on it this past week. This book has a deadline of December 01 and I wasn't sure I could make it but I think I just might now. This was a real deadline, although the date is flexibleish, but I'd prefer to get it in as close to on time as possible.

If I can get it done, that means basically having the month of December to chill. That puts a giant grin on my face. Now, does that mean I won't do any writing? Nah, of course not. I have the free story EH asked about, plus I just can't go weeks and weeks without writing. But it does take a huge amount of pressure off not having to get anything done if I don't want to and December is crazy busy this year for me, so this is my fondest wish. Wish me luck!

Speaking of December, those of you paying attention will recall I do have a final release for 2010 in December and that is The Naughty Ones from Silver Publishing as part of their 25 Days of Christmas releases. My particular Elvish tale comes on on December 12, 2010, but you may want to check out the other offerings as well. Some of the daily releases are M/F, but I know for a fact that my dear friend, Andi Anderson, also has an M/M book coming in this series called, His Christmas Wish. I don't know Andi's release date though I do believe it is later in the month than mine. Unlike some of Andi's other offerings, I haven't read any of His Christmas Wish and have no clue what it is about, but if Andi wrote it I am sure it will be a lovely, sweet Christmas story.

I'll likely do one of my world famous contests (LOL) for The Naughty Ones so stay tuned for the details there.

This is Thanksgiving week for the US, so Wedneday look for a Thankful Musings. And as my beautiful Shayne would say, Have a Fabulous Week!

Happy Thanksgiving
