This Week in The Cauldron October 17 – 23

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

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.

This Week in The Cauldron August 29 – September 4

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

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 is Out!

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Cheese Louise, book one of the CHEESE LOUISE COZY MYSTERY series, is finally out and available for purchase. But the prequel, Follow Brie, is available for FREE to members of The Night Club. Keep reading for the inside slice. Ha! See what I did there? 🧀🧀🧀

*** There are affiliate links in this post ***

After months – okay, a year and a half – of talking about it, the first book in the CHEESE LOUISE COZY MYSTERY series is finally here. Cheese Louise is available for purchase in ebook AND paperback on Amazon, and it’s also in Kindle Unlimited. 😱

If it came in rinds and wheels, they sold it. But can she keep the lights on when her bestie turns blue?

Gertie Pratt wouldn’t call it a gift. Although her psychic senses have been dormant for thirty years, the cheese shop employee is happy she married a good man. But the forty-nine-year-old’s visions return with a vengeance when her witchy friend and boss is found dead… and it was no accident.

Returning home heartbroken only to walk in on her husband in another woman’s arms, Gertie dumps her cheating spouse and pursues her dream of being a detective. But in between juggling a hunky cop’s distractingly rugged looks, a landlord forcing her out of business, and the dearly deceased’s interfering coven, Gertie manages to bungle every interaction.

Can she use her unique powers to grill all the suspects without losing the fromagerie… and her life?

AND… There’s a FREE prequel novella

Tag along as the main characters from Cheese Louise – Gertie, Logan, and Louise – solve their first crime, almost 25 years before Cheese Louise.

An abusive ex-boyfriend, a creepy stalker, and a secret she won’t share with anyone. Did the cheese heiress go into hiding, or was she kidnapped?

Gertie has spent years repressing her psychic “curse” and hiding her powers. So when Brie Fisher goes missing, the last thing Gertie wants to do is use her abilities to try to find her. She is terrified she’ll be branded a freak by her friends. But Gertie was the last person to see Brie, and she senses there is more to Brie’s disappearance than a friend who doesn’t want to be found. 

Can Gertie use her unique powers to Follow Brie, or will she be the next one to disappear? 

Luckily, witchy best friend, Louise Lightly and her hunky brother, Logan, are there to help Gertie track Brie and run interference with the suspects.

The prequel is free, but it is only available to members of my reader group, The Night Club. Do you want to join the party and download Follow Brie? Then click here to get started – easy peasy.

Thanks for following along on this journey.

That’s it for now, y’all!
