Monday:  We're glad to welcome guest Shannon Vannatter today to tell us about a new publishing venture, Scrivenings Press. From their website: "Scrivenings Press LLC is a traditional, royalty-paying publisher of clean fiction. The company was founded in 2020 when owners Linda Fulkerson and Shannon Vannatter purchased the bulk of the backlist from Mantle Rock Publishing as well as the contracts MRP had signed for upcoming books." So be sure to stop by to learn more!


Wednesday:  Multi-published author Ruth Logan Herne abandons the pumpkins today to hang out in Seekerville and talk about the choices authors make. Do you write to market? Or are you writing the book of your heart and hoping it sells? Do you write consistently? Wednesday's talk will examine our choices and how they affect our work and our income. Ruthy's got two copies of her newest mystery "A Fallen Petal" and she's giving them away on Wednesday!
  
Friday: Beth Erin is taking us behind the scenes with a look at the life of a blog tour at JustRead Publicity Tours. Authors, publishers, and readers, she'd love to answer a few questions so leave them below in the comments!

An Amish girl’s disappearance is a mystery…

someone will kill to keep it hidden. Now the Amish

missing friend, Lizzie and Caleb must figure out
a way to survive the holiday.

  3. Happy Weekend. Hubby and I are celebrating our 34th anniversary Sunday. Our gift is a new air conditioner--necessitated by ours going out yesterday just in time for upper 90's temps this weekend. Excited that I won Mindy's book.
