New Book Next Week

One more week is left for claiming your free eBook copy.

cover for "Waiting For Fairies" by Karen GoatKeeper

What creatures come out after dark? What do they do? One way to find out is to go out and sit quietly in the dark.

Many are interesting, even beautiful. Some come out after midnight.

What about the fairies? Be sure to look in the illustrations.

The free eBook is available until November 1st through Smashwords using coupon code LXLLT. You can use the button on the book page to find it.

Upcoming Events

“Waiting For Fairies” is no longer available as a free eBook download.

Cardua: November approaches. My tentative plan is to finish the draft over that month. Not happening I’m afraid as I’m working on Life’s Rules.

“Life’s Rules” takes place in late spring and again that December. So many things are happening in these few weeks.

Dent County Flora is so time consuming. Over fall and winter the pictures get sorted and plants identified.

Opal and Agate: Partners in Adventure entices me with new ideas. The first book has a draft. the second is in planning as they are a pair.

Chemistry now has the shelf and light. Now I need to get those experiments done.

Fall is almost as busy as spring.

Indian Summer

After killing frost, the weather warmed up into a lovely time of warm days and cool nights. The leaves in the Ozarks have turned color.

All the fall garden plants are growing eagerly in the warm weather. They like having their enemy bugs hiding or dead.

Indian summer doesn’t last very long. The old blankets and plastic are ready and waiting for when winter moves in.

Weeds are leaving and cardboard is going down in the garden. Soon I will clean out the barn and put down mulch on the garden beds.

The chickens miss having bugs to chase. They are settling for trimming the grass. That’s fine as I won’t have to mow.

Breeding season is in full swing. Opal is a very loud goat when she is in season.

I am presently reading “Cinnamon Skin” and “Tombstone’s Boothill”. There are more picture books, “The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush” and “Diary of a Spider” this week.

You can keep up with my reading and reviews on Goodreads. As I finish each book, I take the time to write a review on Goodreads. Picture book reviews are on my Goodreads blog. It would be nice if those reading my books would do the same.

Finding My Picture Book Reviews

My picture book reviews are on my Goodreads blog. This seemed the only way to do them. Usually there are two new ones on Tuesdays and on Fridays.

I am very hesitant to add any outside links to my website. So you can find me on Goodreads under Karen GoatKeeper.

About GKP Books

I normally sell books through Amazon, Kindle and Smashwords as their sites are secure. Some books, and these are noted, are only available through me. Amazon and I have an ongoing dispute over listing “Asclepias” or any new books. Somehow I am not authorized to list anything new under my name? Some eBooks are too large or complicated for the other sites.

All of the links should be working. If you find one has decided to go on vacation, you can contact me through the now working Contact Page.

Thank you for Stopping By

Keep checking back as the topics on the two posts change every week, weather permitting. Impassable roads can delay things.
