Upcoming Events

The Creating Picture Books class will be at the Salem Public Library on Thursday afternoons, 1 to 3, June 19 & 26, July 3, 10 & 17. People are coming!

Cardua: Ship Nineteen arrives in February in the novel. Time flew by. Now I’m focusing on taste testing.

“Life’s Rules” has taken a new turn. A little romance?

Dent County Flora is visiting the spring wildflowers. The lovely pictures invite a picture book?

Opal and Agate: Partners in Adventure have illustrations started. Someday.

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

Next year will be busy with six books in progress.

Hop Tree flowers
Hop Trees are closer to shrubs in size. They do have clusters of these four petaled flowers in May.

Planting In the Rain?

Clouds covered the sky all day. I ignored them and tackled the weeds in my flower section. There were lots of them.

Once the weeds were pulled, I was ready to plant some zinnias. It stared to sprinkle. I got soaked, but my zinnias are planted.

Weeds are determined. I clear a bed. A few days later there are more weeds to pull.

Warm weather is trying to move in. I’m a third done working my way around the garden. There is little time for anything else as those seeds must go in soon to have enough time to grow.

Everything will get done. Enough, maybe. Even my writing will happen sometime.

Nubian doe Nina
Are you following me? That’s great as there’s lots of good things ahead, says La Nina.

I am presently reading “Humboldt’s Cosmos”, “The Complete Sherlock Holmes”, “We’ll Prescribe You a Cat”. There are more picture books, “Anything” and “Plants That Never Ever Bloom” 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 three 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.
