Did you have an enjoyable weekend? For some reason, this last one seemed a lot shorter than the past few – and those seemed shorter than normal too. It’s probably a good thing a three-day weekend will be coming at the end of this month even if I have no idea what that means. I’ve got too many authors to wrangle to take a holiday.
Speaking of authors, a few more have gotten their answers to me for the interview, and we’ll be sharing one of those this week.
If we were going to start putting other articles on the website, what type of articles would you like to read, besides author and staff interviews?
There are 7 amazing books launching this week and one is already out today! Talk about a great way to start the week!
