I’ve offered many books as free eBooks over the last few months. I’m debating whether to offer the others.
Upcoming Events
Terrell Creek Huckleberry, a Nubian buck, now lives at High Reaches. The weather is complicating his arrival.
Cardua: Ship Nineteen arrives in February in the novel. They arrive during an ice storm and we may have just that in January this year so I can check my descriptions.
“Life’s Rules” is consuming my writing time. One way to cut words is to stop acting like I’m teaching how everything is done. Teachers never seem to give up.
Dent County Flora is waiting until it’s possible to go walking anywhere.
Opal and Agate: Partners in Adventure have illustrations started. It’s back to research for now.
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.
Cold and Snow?
The forecast makes me cringe. It’s hard to keep the house warm when the outside is below freezing.
My goats will be wearing sweatshirts again. This will be another new routine for Huckleberry.
My garden will be buried in mulch once I can clean out the goat barn. At least the chicken house did get cleaned out.
The tomato and pepper seeds need to be started in another week. The potting soil is frozen. I may have a problem?
My lazy chickens seem to be laying just fine, just not in the hen house.

I am presently reading “Famous Last Words” and “Writing With Pictures”. I do have a bit of extra reading time and have succumbed to a desire to reread Sherlock Holmes, the complete 4 novels and 56 adventures. There are more picture books, “Henry Hikes to Fitchburg” and “Silverlicious” 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.
