My life has been filled with constant changes over the past nine months, but especially over the past few weeks. I’ve been so busy with preparing for the arrival of my son, my book promotion and writing the next book in the series that I hardly have time to jot down whats going on in my blog. First of all at this point in my pregnancy I am ready to have my baby and somewhat return to normal. The nights are the worse for me. It is so hard to get a decent nights sleep. My son plays and wiggles around like he is having a party or something. It starts around ten. He will settle down for an hour or so and by midnight he is all over the place. I will watch tv sitting up and close my eyes when I can, before I know it, it is around four in the morning. This is the time when he really comes alive with so much energy. It seems like the best sleep I get is in the latter morning hours between five and eleven. I’ve done a lot of research and most of the books and internet sites say the same thing. They say that most babies in the womb start the show their newborn patterns during this time in the pregnancy. If that is true I will be working hard to put my baby on a schedule as soon as I can.
When it comes to my book Swept into the Darkness, I am doing everything I can to get noticed as a serious author. I am now a goodreads author and have my book and profile all set up. It is still a work in progress. I never realized how challenging promoting yourself on goodreads could be. Its one obstacle at a time but I will do my best to make it work. I published the book through KDP so now my book is up live and available for purchase on Amazon Kindle. I am so very happy that worked out because I was a little worried when I found out that smashwords was having some distribution issues with Amazon Kindle. The links to purchase my book can be found on my Book Page on this site. I am still waiting for Barnes and Noble to have my ebook stocked and available. I have no idea what the delay is but I am getting very frustrated over waiting and checking the status and not seeing my book up. It is so very important to have my book available to the major channels so that everyone has the chance to get it on whatever reading device they have.
Book two in my Chronicles of the Celestial series is progressing very well and at this point I will be able to soon start entering it into my laptop. I will be working on preparing book one for the paperback edition to be released early this fall, so I am looking forward to all the new changes, improvements and developments that this summer will bring inaddition to the fall.
Happy reading and Writing

Babies get active when their mummy gets to bed, because you’ve stopped moving. A small walk can rock the little guy to sleep inside, and perhaps you’ll enjoy some rest, but yes, babies wonder what is going on when all quiets down outside. 🙂 God Bless! “)
Thanks so much for the advice. Tomorrow is my due date and I hope the baby gets here sometime this weekend.
