My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

Leave any prayer requests in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request or email me. If I forgot your prayer request, email me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays.

Comments
I've been going back having a look at the blogs I missed. The arm is still not good but not as bad as it was. I've been trying not to type too much and that's why I skip the blogs. If I read them, I have the urge to comment.
I finally saw the one with your grandma and you. Both of you look beatiful. How wonderful for you that you could wear something antique and so meaningful for your wedding. Is that all embroidered or appliqué? You look radiant on a wonderful day. And your grandma's red dress is wonderful on her. I love red too. Can't wear pastels because I look totally washed out in them.
I'm praying that you'll get your ms. back and that it won't need many revisions. I'm really eager to see your book. God bless you and prepare the hearts of the readers so that they will get God's message to them through your words.
And thanks for your faithful prayers. I always go through the list prayerfully as I read all the woes and thanks. It's terrible when people don't pay their bills or have some other sort of injustice done to them.
As a mother wrote on another blog: how do you explain to your third-grader why she gets punished for doing something she didn't do while another child does that and doesn't get punished?
I guess we all have to learn early there is no real justice in the world. The little girl got physically ill. And if you think of all the problems in the world, I feel ill too. That's one reason I'm not upset about not having my TV connected.
Except for missing 24. Well, as long as my friend taped them all for me, I can still watch it.
I can see other inconsistencies there. I think I'm still not fully awake and the kid upstairs is running a race or something. Not conducive to freedom from stress and mistake-free writing.
