Celebrate The Small Things AND Champion In Flight

By

Thanks VIKLIT
Yesterday the washing machine broke and flooded the laundry room floor.
The cat had a major hairball event.
The puppy ate the orchid.
The sink clogged.
Today I’m Celebrating that my husband has “fixed” the washing machine.
The cat is in the sun, grooming and smiling as cats do.
The puppy is well and home with his real mom.
The sink. . .well, it’s slow, but sure.
And then we have to give a huge 
HURRAH
to
Tyrean Martinson 
as we 
REVEAL
her
COVER!
THE SECOND BOOK IN THE CHAMPION TRILOGY

About Champion in Flight

As the last pieces of information about the Healing Caves fall into place, Clara is attacked by an assassin. Covert Drinaii mercenaries and the Council aren’t going to stop Clara from her quest to heal her broken blade. As Champion of Aramatir, she must act.
Meanwhile, in the joint kingdoms of Rrysorria and Wylandria, the youngest and still cursed swan prince, despairs of ever being whole again. In a moment of anger and desperation, Liam discovers a blood link between him and a dark sorceress.

  1. Hi Lee .. oh oh .. thank goodness for a husband and I sure hope all is recovered by now .. and that sink is less clogged – such an irritation when things happen …

    Cheers Hilary

  2. This is so much like my life. Usually, the disasters happen as soon as hubby goes TDY. A chicken disappears. The neighbor returns the escapee 3 weeks later. Yea! Turns out it's been hiding and laying its eggs under the neighbor's house. Upon rejoining the flock, the roaming chicken teaches all the others how to fly over the cuckoo's nest. They've escaped every day since. But they still return at night. Yea!

    Our cabinets arrive. Yea! But they don't match. After a week of me pleading with the cabinet company, they decide to reorder. Yea!

    Storms help our new orchard trees and garden grow. Yea! The road into our neighborhood floods and the septic tank backs up. Oh, wait, the last one happened before hubby left but before we could get it fixed. How can you fix the weather? Still yea!–for the blueberries ripened by the rain. Let it pour!

  3. I'm sorry, but your first few lines made me chuckle. Life has fed me similar sour milk, lately. Here's to things getting better for you!

  14. Great post! Thanks for sharing! Following!

    Yep, washing machines can agitate and put you in a spin when they don't work. Hopefully, it really is fixed. Might be a good idea to remove the cat from the sun. It can get pretty darned hot on the sun. Puppy goes home and had done it's work, kinda like The Littlest Hobo. No more feelings to make you sink, I think.

    Yay to Tyrean. Another one of Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar's adoring fans. All the beast, um best, Tyrean. And living in the Pacific Northwest is neat. Quite often wet, but neat nonetheless.

    Time to sort out my widescreen microwave…..

    Gary, the starstruckest fan of Lee, yes that Lee, not that one obsessed with the alphabet, Lee!

  16. Glad all is well again! Phew!! You've conquered and triumphed over these adversities! Yay!

    All the best to the amazingly named Tyrean!! Take care

  17. Sorry about your flood, but I'm glad that your husband was able to fix the washing machine! Hope the puppy, cat and sink have also recovered. Congrats to Tyrean!

  18. So sorry to hear about all the things that went wrong- but I love how you turned things around and focused on the positive! 🙂 Hope Saturday is filled with sunshine and happiness.

    Congrats to Tyrean.

  20. Three cheers for Tyrean and her latest release! YAY!!!!!!
    And glad to hear that the not-so-great things turned around to be worthwhile things to celebrate 🙂

  25. Is it dreadful that I laughed at your misfortunes? Especially since they bore a close resemblance to my last comment to you. The only thing you didn't do was get the runs from the black berries. Yay! My sink clogs every day. I've become a champion plunger-er.

    Speaking of that (champions, not plunger-ers), congrats to Tyrean on her new cover! 🙂

  27. Puppy at an orchid! Eww. LOL
    I hate major appliance breakdowns, especially wet ones. Poor you.

    Congrats, Tyrean! 😀

  28. HI, Lee,

    Thankfully all worked out well! YAY, LEE!

    A HUGE CONGRATS to TYREAN! I had the pleasure of introducing her first book last year in the A-Z… WAYT TO GO! ALL THE BEST TYREAN!!!!!

  31. I'm so sorry about your washing machine, cat, puppy, and sink.
    At the same time, I'm really glad that all are good now – even the sink is at least running, right?
    I hope you have an amazing, excellent, wonderful, joyous weekend and rest of the year!
    And thanks for helping with my cover reveal!

  33. Glad puppy, cat, and washing machine are ok now. Slow sinks might try our patience but still better than totlly clogged ones. Happy weekend.
    Congrats, Tyrean!
