Much to my chagrin, there are worldly things to be done around the sale of the book, sigh. Not least of which requires me to finally decide upon the anchor (handle?) of my Patreon account as well as what to do with YT, and so on.

I am not, as you may have noticed, a great actor of social media-ing. There was an FB account registered, years ago, that fell off the radar from lack of use, and a Pinterest I think, no Instagram I believe, but possibly a Twitter which also faded into the background, withered and died more likely, when nobody bothered to do much more than initiate its existence.

I don’t even have a confirmed logo as yet, so all this media and publicity seems a bit premature, yes?

As you can see, Jeeves is very excited to find out his mum is now officially an author — sweet baby.

“Thank You” to Rebekah Manser, my liaison @greenhillpublishing, for sending the print proofs — they arrived today!

In the final stages of editing and proofreading the book, I came across so many pieces I wanted to expand upon. Even the layout of having four parts to each chapter felt like it could do with a bit more explaining. Why not do it online!

On the flip side, the first version of ‘Offerings with Melanie’ (in the book) was spread over several pages. After reviewing it (over and over again b/c oh my god it took forever to get to a happy place with the writing), I just felt like it was too much.

Too much pressure on me to get things finished and have things ready. Too much for you to read through. Too many directions to send you all in. Too much going on in general. Then I had a conversation with my husband, who is brilliant! He suggested I create one link where I control the what and when of information that gets released. Told you – brilliant.

So, here it is. The one place.

Well, almost. I’m yet to submit the Marketing Questionnaire, and there’s the little matter of my images for the colour version I have them cooking up. Plus, I haven’t finished with my author proofread, but other than that, we’re good to go!
