Happy Chuseok Day! Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncake Day.

I like the ones with pineapple or coconut. Lotus paste is nice. I’m not too fond of the egg ones but I’ll choke those down if I’m forced to by one of my aunts.

Since I can’t give you a real mooncake, I’ll give you a virtual one instead.

Oh, you probably want a real one. Okay…fine.

I’m just going to leave this here. I need to do more research on this.

So today is Release Day. Dirty Secret is out to the masses for accolades and rotten tomatoes. Strangely enough, there’s really nothing I can do at this point. I had a small panic attack that I spelled chigae wrong last night but I checked the text and it’s okay. You can also spell it jjigae but that’s a quibble.

Nope, nothing to do but make coffee, bleed the cat so I can see how his levels are and reek of mackerel. It’s what Tam’s decided he wants to eat today. Yoshi is stalking his leftovers and the dogs are patiently waiting to go apeshit over the mail man in a couple of hours.

All in a day.

I keep saying thank you. Well, I mean it. Thank you. Pretty much thank you. Yep, I am a wordsmith.

There are a few giveaways going on. The Novel Approach has one for both ebooks and I’ll be doing a paperback giveaway on Goodreads.

Once again, the word of these getting out to the general m/m reading public has been your doing.

You all are the ones buying and reading the books. I just write them. Dreamspinner has graciously published them… I owe them a huge thank you as well but really when it’s all said and done, these books are yours. You make them happen and I am forever grateful for that.

Now if I could just stop smelling like mackerel, I’d be delighted.

But honestly, I’m working on Dirty Laundry. And a pint of coconut flan ice cream. What are you all doing?

I’ve done multiple blog posts and an interview. I’ve been scheduled for a talk and have had guests at the house for dinners, visiting and coffee. Life’s been full.

But more importantly, I have to remember ONE thing about today…and tomorrow.

To say thank you to everyone here. I owe you everything. Thank you. Many cookies, cupcakes and many cups of love.

Thank you. From the bottom of my heart and the top of my keyboard.

Which has cat hair all over it but it’s the thought that counts.
