If you work in an office building, you get to celebrate things. Shirley in accounting has a birthday, and they get a cake for the break room. The VP celebrates ten years with the company, and there’s a little reception. Your team makes top sales for a quarter, and you all pat each other on the back.

But when you work from home writing books, it’s hard to have that “camaraderie” feeling that you get from Shirley’s birthday cake. So day-to-day, you have to find your own things to celebrate that makes your little successes feel real.

Well, last week, a friend of mine from Edmonton, Alberta told me that my newest release, THE LAWMAN’S RUNAWAY BRIDE, already had some holds on it at the library. And that was exciting for me! It felt… real. People wanted to read it and put a hold on it, willing to wait to read my book. That’s a high compliment, in my humble opinion.

So there you go! The screenshot proof that my friend sent to me.

The little things we celebrate. 🙂 It reminds me that there is indeed life away from my desk!

It’s awkward…

I always find visiting my books in the wild a little awkward. Most people don’t creep up on books and then take selfies with them. It’s… weird. Unless you wrote the book, of course, but no one assumes that straight off.

So this time, I visited my book in my local Superstore grocery store. I braved a blizzard to  get out there, but I would have braved the blizzard anyway, because we needed groceries and if you stop going places just because it’s snowing northern Alberta, you’ll never go anywhere.

So there it is… all beautiful and shiny on a shelf!

Isn’t it gorgeous? ❤

And here I am taking a selfie with it… and this was a bit sacrificial on my part because a lady watched me like I was nuts, and I had to just soldier on as if this was rational and normal behaviour. Which it is… if you wrote it! Geez! No one thinks of that!

So there you have it–my lovely book is out! I hope you’ll all pick up a copy. And if you see it in the wild, snap a picture and send it to me on Facebook. 🙂 I’ll post it so everyone can see. Plus, it would seriously make my day!

I just love it when Harlequin used my covers for their Cover. Vs. Cover promotion. It’s just fun!

Can you spot the difference?? I had to ask someone one Facebook to point it out for me, in all honesty. It’s right in your face, but I just couldn’t see it. LOL

THE LAWMAN’S RUNAWAY BRIDE is in stores now, so pick up a copy! I think you’ll like this one! I really do!

Harlequin has this fun social media game they play called Cover Vs Cover, where people can vote for the cover they like best. This time around, they chose my cover for the honors! 🙂

I know it’s probably a bit silly at this point, but I get a kick out of having my books used in Harlequin promotion. It’s just part of the fun!

By the way, I’m now on Twitter, too! So if you’d like to find me, this is my handle: AuthorPatJohns. I’m probably the last person on earth to finally join Twitter besides the Amish, but I’m there! 🙂
