Puppy Preschool, Writing Fuel, Krampus, and Masterpiece Theater

So much happened this week, so I thought I'd share some highlights. 

My puppy, Loki, graduated puppy preschool. He'll be starting puppy kindergarten on Monday, followed by a therapy dog class. I'm a proud parent :)

We got our first snow flurries of season. Yay! Yes, I'm one of those annoying people who loves the snow. Keep in mind, I haven't seen snow in over 5 years.

I finished writing Chapter 6 of my new novel, The Nightmare Birds. I couldn't have done it without my best friends - chocolate and caffeine. My new book is part of the Strange Luck series. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing to already have your cover design picked out when you haven't even finished writing the book. :)

Two of my latest interviews went live this week with Awesome Gang and Book Goodies. You can learn more about what I'm currently working on, my writing quirks, and advice to aspiring authors.

So I guess they make Krampus ornaments now.

Lastly, if you haven't watched Mr. Selfridge yet on Masterpiece Theater, you're missing out on the new Downton Abbey!
