Hey Y’all,

Thank you for joining me for my weekly planning session. This is what I’m mixing up in the cauldron this week:

Writing Plans

I have been struggling to get back to writing. Because of my Not Writing Plans (keep reading) it may not happen this week either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not Writing Plans

The other half, Céilí, and I will be headed east for a couple of days in the country near Wexford. It will be our first trip with our new girl, so we are about to find out how she likes traveling. We have our fingers crossed for positive results as we love to travel and we have plans to take her with us as much as possible.

And I’m sharing a picture of our girl on a morning walk because I think she’s so darn cute.

Hey Y’all,

Thank you for joining me for my weekly planning session. First off, a recap of last week.

I planned to write 10,000 words on my first draft of Whining in Wolfland along with working in the yard, meeting friends for a happy hour, and reading. I wrote 11,200 words, so congratulations to me. 🍾 No yard work or reading happened. Boo! I’m thrilled about the word count, but I need to pick up the slack in other areas of my life. Now for what I’m mixing up in the cauldron this week:

Hey Y’all,
Thank you for joining me for my weekly planning session. This is what I’m mixing up in the cauldron this week:

Writing Plans

My goal is 10,000 words this week on what I hope will be a 100,000-word first draft – give or take 5000 words. I try to write Monday through Saturday, so that will be about 1700 words a day. So, it is entirely doable, if I just sit down and do it. 😊

Hey Y’all,

Thank you for joining me for my weekly planning session. This is what I’m mixing up in the cauldron this week:

Writing Plans

I’m plotting Whining in Wolfland, the next book in THE LARAMIE HARPER CHRONICLES, and I’ll be writing the blurb (book description) to share with you sometime this week. I didn’t plot a jot before writing my first novel, Dying in Dallas, because I had the complete story ready and waiting in my noggin.

Spoiler alert: I did not.

Cheese Louise: Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery Book One: Good read I enjoyed reading Cheese Louise. It is a fun murder mystery that keeps you entertained and wondering who the killer is. There are many suspects in the book, but the real killer is not who you thought it would be. Ms Keough, the author, has a way of writing that makes you hate to put her book down. I hope to read more books from her in the future.

Cheese Louise: Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery Book One: Fun story! So much fun to read about familiar Dallas locations and neighborhoods. Add in the new (to me) witchy facts, lovable characters, larger than life cat, for an easy to read caper.I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Cheese Louise: Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery Book One: An excellent Summer Read!!! I couldn't wait for this book to come out! I read the prequel, Follow, Follow Brie, and it was excellent. It is well written and humorous with a surprise ending, which made me excited for the next book in the series., The setting is in the Dallas, Texas area and I just love Keough's word choice that takes me back to Texas! Very authentic! Cheese Louise picks up the storyline, a few years later, and I still love characters, suspense, and surprises. This is a great summer read.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): Drama, Intrigue and humor I love how this author writes a story of intrigue, with unexpected humor thrown in. I also love wine and dogs and since they play a major part in the story, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author.

Lynne Fiske

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): Great read Loved that it was set in Dallas, with name changes. The vampires were so interesting, I could hardly put the book down. Looking forward to her next book.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): Laramie is growing. I can't say it was bigger in Texas but it was a different story. The book can standalone. The ending was brutal with punished betrayal. I'm not sure I agreed with the punishment since she gives others far more leeway. The people she should be avoiding, her Mom and sister, she doesn't. There is nothing funny in the abuse she takes from them. And no, there is no way a Mom who loved her would act like that. Laramie is developing into more of a person though still naïve with tendencies that could drive anyone away. The friends she has are great, what an odd assortment of known and unknown. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next book brings.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): The Blood Will Tell said it all Such a fun read! While I don't suggest skipping the first book of the chronicles (Dying in Dallas), you will still enjoy "The Blood Will Tell" even if you didn't. Much like our vampire host, Laramie, our author J.C. Keough has found her pulse and keeps you reading.Keough did a beautiful job of recapping the first book, for those who haven't read it, while inviting you to a Halloween party at her mansion, The Madam. All of the characters come to life and you are drawn in to the party along with the other guests of cheating spouses, family drama, questionable friends and vampires in disguise who crash the party. You sympathize with Laramie as she tries to find love again and figure out who are friends and foes.Make sure to have a bottle of wine handy, as it is flows throughout the party, and your dog close by as dogs are always welcomed at The Madam.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): The perfect amount of twists and turns... The Whine Barrel, located in the beautiful Victorian home owned by Laramie Harper, is just about ready to open for business. Laramie has decided to throw a Halloween party to entice guests to her new business in the hopes of attracting future business. The party appears to be a smashing success with costumed party goers, pint sized ghosts, and of course - vampires. Things are finally going Laramie’s way.....or are they? This novella was a joy to read with just enough twists and turns to keep you wanting more without being confusing. I can’t wait for the next installation in the Laramie Harper chronicles.

C Walker

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): A Halloween party that doesn’t disappoint! Just finished the novella, The Blood Will Tell, and I throughly enjoyed it! I love the way J. C. Keough has written the character Laramie. I feel like Laramie is a dear friend, and we are having a girlfriends talk session and catching up. Laramie is the owner of a wonderful turn of the century home, known as the Madam. This is Halloween, so Laramie is throwing a costume party. Expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed!Great job! I am hooked and can’t wait to find out what Laramie does next.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): Frightfully delightful Laramie is back in a short for her First Halloween in The Madam ( her home and business). After the recent murder that took place in her home, she hoping free wine and candy will draw in the community and help erase all the negativity it’s brought. All is going well until it’s not. You can’t help love Laramie and her heart of gold but chaos follows her where ever she goes. A great short story with a heartbreaking twist that takes place two weeks after book one Dying in Dallas. A quick read totally worth reading!!!
