Prickle Forrest Chronicles

August 2023

Dear Pricklers,

Holy cow! Where did August go? For having 31 days in the month it sure flew by, but then again with everything going on I’m not surprised. Ugh!

Read on and I’ll explain…

Because there’s lots to share. And big-big welcome to the newbies! Thanks for joining us!

The PAST…

• Hallelujah! The Whiskey Salvation magnet is up! Took some real fenagling to get it on so it displayed correctly as a PDF and EPub file. But it’s working. And just a little tip, if you use the BookFunnel ap, make sure your screen in the program is unlocked. Makes a huge difference in displaying the magnet correctly. Hahaha! That would have save me probably 5 days of trying to get it on. But, hey, it’s on and I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think. And if you need a copy, e-mail me at my publishers for a one time download of it, prickleforrestllc@sssnet.com.

• BookSweeps first promo was a huge success. Still waiting for them to let me know who the winner is so that I can send them a digital copy of Rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation. I believe my second BookSweeps promo for Cherishing Whiskey’s Salvation, a second chance romance is coming up here soon too. Then a third one will be at the end of the month running into October for Rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation again.

• The Whiskey Salvation Series is now available at bookstores and libraries. If you don’t see them there, just ask the librarians and/or book store proprietor to order them. Black Cat Books became my official first bookstore to have them on hand. Woohoo! I’m hoping once book 3 comes out, I can do a book signing there and at other bookstores too. If you’re in the Medina area, check them out. They have lots of great books and other stuff too.

•The meeting with the owner of the Oak Barrel Company to incorporate his business in book 4 had to be postponed due to both of our busy schedules. The picture gives you a fairly good idea of one of the locations for book 4 or is it going to be book 5? Still not sure which book I’ll start next. You’ll have to read the Whiskey Tattler to get an idea of my next 2 Whiskey Salvation books.

The PRESENT…

•Now working on Book 3. Woohoo! Hallelujah! Amen! I’ve written 1 chapter out of the 25 I need to write to finish the book. Having fun writing it too. Just wish I could do it in Bermuda where it’s set. Hmm? Might have to work something out regarding that.

• Preparing for the book signing on Sunday September 24th – North Coast Book Expo 1-6 pm Avon OH. Just ordered a new supply of both novels for the book signing. Got my red pens all ready to autograph them. Book bundles will be available that day and in November. But if you can’t make it, you can order one here

Plus a sweet package for the book signing will be available. Can’t wait to show it off. Also going to give one away for the Facebook group “Isn’t it Romantic 4th annual Fall give away. There’s still time to join the group to win. The give away is the weekend of September 22nd and 23rd. Winners will be announced on the 24th. And hey, you got a really good shot of winning. Over 370+ authors are participating in the give-away. So sign up and make sure you watch the posts for more details. It’s going to be lots of fun! And, yes, I’m participating too.

SHOUTOUT!
