Boredom Isn't On My List by Brenda Whiteside

Before cleaning and trimming

There hasn't been much time to write lately. I remember reading an interview of a famous author...wish I could remember who but can't. He said writing is what he does when life doesn't get in his way. The way I figure is, if a male can say that, then I'm really lucky to get any writing done right now. Sorry guys, but judging from the men in my family, men can be very linear and get what they want done regardless of what's going on around them.

You might know I live on a small family farm. My son the farmer has been off the

Cleaned and boxed

farm more than he's been on lately, so my husband and I are working double time. I've always been the first in line to weed, but now I water and harvest on top of that. Thankfully, he didn't plant as much as the last three years. The main time eater is garlic. The garlic is cured and must be trimmed, cleaned and boxed for the wholesaler. I think my carpel tunnel is threatening to return.

Although I've gotten only a few new pages written for book number four, The Power of Love and Murder, in my Love and Murder series, there's plenty going on for my author persona.

Post-War Dreams, a 1945 vintage romance, is complete and a release date should be announced anytime.

Book three in the series, A Legacy of Love and Murder, is on my editor's desk and I should be getting those edits soon.

The contract is signed with Amazon for a re release of book one in the series, The Art of Love and Murder. Next month, the book will be released under the Encore imprint with Amazon. This is rather exciting. Amazon requested the rights from my publisher and I agreed. With Amazon, so many more readers will be aware of the book which should open the door to the series.

Between garlic and the varying stages of my books, my head is spinning. Boredom certainly is not an issue
for me!
