May
and June
Okay, so things didn’t go quite as planned
during the merry month of May. I had been scheduled for hip-replacement surgery
on May 3, but I got a sudden, acute medical problem, and the surgery was
postponed until May 24. Therefore, most of June has been spent in recovering
from my hip operation and trying to figure out what’s wrong with my intestines.
I know. How disgusting. But it’s a problem, and I don’t know what to do about
it.
Anyhow, the hip-replacement surgery and rehab
are going well. I can tell the hip is much better because now my back pain is
killing me again. However, I do believe there’s something that might be done
about that, so I’m not in flat despair yet. Maybe later.
BRUISED SPIRITS, Daisy Gumm Majesty’s tenth
(it’s actually the eleventh, but who’s counting?) adventure will be published
August 8. Here’s the cover art and the Kindle link. I don’t think it’s up on
Barnes & Noble or the other places yet:
If you entered a contest of mine for either
May or June, please feel free to choose any old book you want of mine, and I’ll
send you a copy, providing I have one. You can see most of them on my web page
(which probably needs to be updated. I’ve not been good for much lately): www.aliceduncan.net
Also, Smashwords, on which most of my
back-list historical romances and a few cozy mysteries are published in any e-format
you want, is having a half-price sale during July, so you can snap up a copy of
any old book you want (of mine, I mean) here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/aduncanzianet
I’ll give away copies of BRUISED SPIRITS at
the end of July (or as soon as I get copies). I can send the e-book as soon as
August 8 rolls around.
If you’d like to enter my July contest,
please send me your name and home address as follows: alice@aliceduncan.net.

Okay. I’ll go away now. This is the
first time I’ve tried to send a newsletter over Mail Chimp, so I hope this
works!
Thank you!
