Today, I’m guesting on my publisher’s website with a blog post called How the Calgary Stampede Inspired My Murder Mystery Novel. Books We Love has given me a regular slot on their Author Insider Blog, the 12th of every month. By the time I got there, most of the other days had been claimed. That’s close to 30 authors collectively blogging daily on the BWL site. Those with dates from 29-31 won’t be posting every month and I have a feeling I’ll start to envy them before long. The monthly deadline rolls around quickly.
To get a sense of what others were writing, I subscribed to the BWL insider blog. I’m not a big reader of blogs. Who has the time? But rather than skim through the posts, I found myself reading many of them with interest. Quite a few of the authors write historical fiction, which I have a hankering to write but haven’t attempted yet. Others write personal stories, sometimes involving travel. They tend to be mature writers who have led interesting lives — and often still do.
If you click onto the BWL Insider Blog after March 12th and don’t see my post, check the archives or scroll down the posts dated March 13th, 14th, 15th and later. You might find yourself getting distracted along the way.
Two Days
My blog post How the Calgary Stampede Inspired My Murder Mystery Novel is featured on my publisher’s website today. Only two days until the book launch at Owl’s Nest Bookstore.
Three Days
Owl’s Nest Bookstore. book launch in 3 days. Check out today’s Calgary Herald newspaper for a profile about Ten Days in Summer.
Four Days
1-2-3-4 days to Owl’s Nest Bookstore. This weekend, the clocks spring forward, which means there will be light in the sky when the launch starts. 
Five Days
Five days to go: Owl’s Nest Bookstore.
Six Days
Six days until Owl’s Nest Bookstore. The long-term weather forecast says this spell of cold and snow should end in time for the book launch day. Hey Calgary weather, it’s March. The days are getting longer already.
Seven Days
March 7th and there’s 7 days to go: Owl’s Nest Bookstore. Double sevens for good luck? Let’s hope.
Eight Days Until Launch
Eight Days until the launch for Ten Days in Summer at Owl’s Nest Bookstore. My recent hiking holiday in Arizona took my mind off things. Now I’m getting nervous.
Nine Days to Go
Yesterday, I attended the Alexandra Writers Centre Society’s Alberta Skies Art and Book Exhibit. The event took place at the new AWCS premises in cSpace, Calgary’s new home for artists of all kinds. It drew a crowd that packed our three rooms, warming them up so much that the building custodian opened the top three windows for the first time.
cSpace is still under renovation, but the AWCS’ classrooms are already a go. Somehow, we scored the penthouse–those are our windows on the top floor (left hand side). Each classroom gets tons of light and has a view of the Rocky Mountains. What a change from our former basement location, although the setting in a sandstone school nicely continues the AWCS heritage.
Nine days to go until the launch for Ten Days in Summer at Owl’s Nest Bookstore.
