What's going on?
Lifted from a rando on eBay. Hey, I should get SOMEthing from the sale.
Gah. I hate this part, where I have to say what's going on, on account of there's almost always nothing going on, but I have to make it sound like there's a ton of stuff going on, otherwise people will think I'm boring, which I am—totally—but that doesn't make for good PR, and PR is soooo important in this line of work, but holy cow, I can only BS for so long, and...
Where was I? Oh, yeah. What's going on. Besides nothing, I mean.
Hmmm... I do have a new series coming from Special Edition that starts in June, so I guess that's something. And I found out recently that I'm going to be contributing to the Fortunes of Texas series published by Harlequin, a book that won't be out until the fall of 2024, but I guess that, technically, is something going on, too. What else...?
Oh! My screenwriting partner, Lorena Peter, and I are brainstorming a new film, so that could potentially be something going on before long. And I'm still chipping away at my big book, little by little. Another potential going-on thingy.
In non-writing news, I'm repotting plants and starting an indoor herb garden to make room for more veggies in the kitchen garden on the patio. And I picked up some paint chips to update the color in the living room. Also, we have some new chipmunks that have taken up residence in a burrow near the storm drain. Not what I personally would consider the ideal location, but hey, what do I know of chipmunk burrows? They seem to be happy, and that's all that matters. Anyway, I think the summer is off to a decent start. Even better, I do seem to have some stuff going on.
Here's hoping your upcoming summer holds lots of fun for you, too.
Happy reading!

Everything you ever wanted to know about Elizabeth Bevarly
The rabid badger is more at deadline time.
Elizabeth Bevarly wrote her first book when she was twelve years old, thirty-two pages on college rule notebook paper, that featured the adventures of three pre-teen girls named Marianne, Cheryl, and Liz. Her best friends Marianne and Cheryl proclaimed it, “Way cool!” and “Bitchin’!” After that, she knew exactly where her career path would take her.
Eventually. After earning her BA with highest honors in English, she worked as a waitress, a bartender, a dietary aide, a library aide, an editorial assistant, and a hawker of soaps, lingerie, ready-to-wear, and fine china. Eventually she found herself newly wed and living in Puerto Rico, sitting on the beach and drinking pina coladas while her Coast Guard husband was out having adventures. Solitude brought with it the desire to start writing again, so she did—on college rule notebook paper.
That book eventually became the first of dozens she would write for Harlequin. Bigger books followed, and so did lots of other cool stuff, like being translated into two dozen languages and sold in three dozen countries, winning industry awards, and appearing on national bestseller lists—including USA Today and the New York Times.
She now lives just outside her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky with her husband and a semi-feral cat. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s binge-watching documentaries about weird stuff, experimenting with soup recipes, and wondering if she’ll ever find that missing Betsey Johnson earring. She really loves those earrings. She also loves writing in daytime pajamas, listening to jazz standards, drinking iced tea, and dancing to electro-swing when no one is home. Her favorite color is green. Her favorite food is shawarma. Her familiar is a rabid badger. (It’s a long story.)
Okay, so that was probably a lot more than you wanted to know about Elizabeth Bevarly. Last tidbit, honest—she is super long-winded. Just ask her family. Or read her reviews. Woo.
