Just Do It

Today, after a long estrangement, my treadmill and I made up. However, 30 minutes, 2.5 km and 250 calories later (what sadistic demon from hell designed that little calculation?), I'm rethinking the reconciliation.

Carla Doolin Hi, Dana! Hope you're enjoying this nice (finally) weather! My laptop has a sunburn now. ;) Still working on the next book for you, honey. Boy, life sure gets busy. Damn that day job! Keep reading, and maybe one of these days there'll be a surprise on your TBR list. :)

My summer was crazy busy, Dana! Hope yours was full of love and laughter. With any luck, the crisp fall weather and prep for hibernation will help me to get the new book out before the snow flies. Thanks for thinking of me honey!

Dana Carla I am so ready for your next book! Hope you had a great summer :)
