PRICKLE FORREST CHRONICLES
By Chrissy Hartmann
November 2021

Wow! The beautiful fall colors make the cold weather settling in more bearable. The pumpkins continue to guard the porch. The anticipation of Thanksgiving dinner makes the bellies grumble with all the ads for the big feast. But with a few pumpkin doughnuts all is forgiven. Noticed Mr. Scarecrow doesn’t look too happy, not especially with the couple of days Jack Frost decided to show up with Frosty. And guess who’s not thrilled about their appearance? Yep, that’s correct, Mother Nature. Rumor says she’s banished them away until December. So grab a plate of food, a book, and settle in for a good read. Falls about to end with a cold winter ready to take over. Enjoy!
“And have a fabulous Thanksgiving!”

THE TOP FIVE
1. Thanksgiving holiday. Family, friends, and food. What could be better? 2. Fall colors. Red, orange, gold, brown. Gods perfection!
3. Rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation published to Kindle. Woohoo! 4. The Eagle Scout Project started. Double Woohoo!!
5. Wooster High School football to the playoffs.. God willing!

WIP IT… WIP IT GOOD…
Last month, lost the file to publish to KDP. Had to recreate it. Second round version much, much better. Digital preorder on KDP started the 5th. Author proof not coming until the 10th, the day before paperback version to go live. But got notice that proof coming the 7th. Woohoo! Hopefully everything will look fantastic so don’t have to postpone the paperback release. Indi groups on FB very helpful. Old writer friends are a blessing. Thanks Darrell! Thanks Max! Next step… publish to Google, Apple, and Barnes and Noble. Yeah baby! Going to do a promo contest in December. Trivia questions to win a free copy of book 2. Probably will give 5 away signed. Good idea, right?

QUERYING…
Not happening for Whiskey Salvation series. Maybe the For Love Series. Maybe. Don’t hold your breath though. Really like this Indi stuff, now that first novel loaded into KDP. Hoping Google and Apple just as easy. Probably not though. Wouldn’t have that good luck. LOL!

THE CRAFT
This month’s writing tip…
Backup everything! Get rid of junk stuff so if it’s necessary to traverse through all your old files to find the one you need, its better organized. A definite time saver.
Portable USB drives and external USB drives work wonders! Just do it!

THE HOLIDAYS:
Election day rolled across the country in a definite red-wave style. Lots of DemoRats out, and MAGA republicans in. Woohoo! Veterans day celebrated in patriotic silence and appreciation. Hoping to Pick up a few vets dinners this Turkey Day. Wish could do more to help them out.
Thanksgiving with the family. Lots of food. Actually going to have too much food, not enough hours, and too little of take-home containers. But the stuffed mushrooms are always a big hit. Never have leftovers. Bummer! To end it off, only 33 days until Christmas! Get your shopping done soon. Who knows if anything will be on the racks and shelves the closer it gets.

THE BOOKSHELF:
1. Nuremberg Diary by G. M. Gilbert
2. Holiday: A Christmas Salsa by Sharon Miller Hunter
3. Rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation by Chrissy Hartmann

Rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation: Hartmann, Chrissy, Hagman, Angelica: 9781737928812: Amazon.com: Books

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
