I note here that the Kindle version of Marjorie Liu's book Tiger Eye is free this week. Dear Author lists them by publisher, and it's Avon. It was a hard one for me to find in paperback when I started collecting the Dirk & Steele books. Now I have another novel I can read on my phone.
I ventured out. It was damp and windy. It wasn't terribly cold, though. I picked the biggest bud from 'Duchesse de Brabant'. It has a notch out of the side of it, but the inner petals should still be okay. The sepals are well down, and the bud looked just about ready to open. I put floral preservative in the vase, so that should hopefully keep it good for a while.
I did some editing. This week it's a superhero romance.
Looks like my biggest completed accomplishment today will be laundry. Mom wanted to go to Macy's, and I did not. I told her she was welcome to go herself, but she prefers shopping with people to shopping by herself. I didn't think today would be a good day to go to the mall.
If it's relatively nice out on Friday, I'll probably go to Longwood Gardens for a while. I don't know how busy that would be, but I'm sure much quieter than the malls. They're equipped to handle a large capacity of people, like they do in the Christmas season. It's a bit odd to me that Christmas seems to be their busiest season, but the lighted trees and decorated conservatories are pretty.
Added: The Courage to Love by Samantha Kane is free as a Kindle book. I don't know for how long, or what kind of promotion it is. Some of my online pals are big fans of the Brothers in Arms series. The reviews said it was a wallpaper historical, so I'll see if I can go with the suspension of disbelief.
I found a couple of free stories from Bonnie Dee on Smashwords, after looking around. The titles are Four Kisses and Shifter P.I.: Werewolf Detective. I know her as a Samhain author, but she's got a few more books on Smashwords. A couple look pretty good. Next time I go shopping there, I'll have to keep her in mind. I read Shifter: P.I. It was pretty gory. I think the Samhain books are much milder than that.
Later: I read Four Kisses. It was a contemporary, and mild in a good way.
I read Avowed, by K.C. Beaumont, one that was on sale from Rainbow eBooks. I kept thinking, "A woman wrote this," because of the style and tone of the romance. It was a pretty classic star-crossed young lovers story.
