Big thanks to AUDIO IN BLACK (my bad y'all I said Audio in color! Close but not the same site)  and my friends in the Diem’s Diamond mine for featuring the bookcast. I so appreciate the love and attention and pumping not only this podcast but the books as well. Love you, mean it! 

On Episode 75, we talk a little bit of reading and a LOT of writing! I share about the process of beginning AGAIN on The Pearl- I am officially writinggggguh. I'm also sharing tips on getting past that  place where you pounded out some words and don't know where to go. For this Pantser, it means planning.

I'm still not happy with the sound... but it's leaps better than last week! We'll get it figured out before next week.  This week I talked about the usual suspect- Books I read, and plant to read,  books I'm (not) writing and plan to write, and a bitty rant about reviews from an author perspectve- namely, where you can put opinions about my books. I was nice, promise!
I talked about the following books in today's episode:

Alone by Lisa Gardner
If She Knew by Blake Pierce
King: The Life of Martin Luther King by Jonathan Eig
The American Queen by Vanessa Miller
The Quiet Tenant by Clémence Michallon
The Love That Remains by Tasha L. Harrison
Mrs Soul Crusher by Jessica Terry

The author I referenced in my review rant : Natalia Hernandez
The app I referenced to track my writeoffs and expenses: KeeperTax

This week's episode is flawed and lightly edited. I lost my mic about 30 mins in so I cut out a part that was just me complaining about return to office. I had a brunch date, so I'm back to update with the usual info. 

This week I chatted about my reading progress toward my annual goal, what I read, what I plan to read and what I put down. I also gave an update on my writing (or NOT writing, as it were) and I talked about my efforts lately to increase social media postings and ongoing efforts to increase visibility for my work as an indie author. 

I talked about the following books this week:
King: The Life of Martin Luther King by Jonathan Eig
The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry
The American Queen by Vanessa Miller
Mrs. Soul Crusher by Jessica Terry 
The Amish Wife by Gregg Olsen
