Today, I had an urge to look up one of my favorite authors. It's been so long since the last book in her mystery series that my belief was she had ended it, but what the heck, I checked, and there's a new book in the series! Only paperback, no Kindle, and the listing looks very new, so I'll wait and see. The author is Susan Conant and her cozy mystery series features amateur sleuth Holly Winter and her malamutes. This has long been my favorite dog mystery series, and while my own Rottweiler Rescue is different in tone and approach, one of the reasons for writing a dog mystery was the hours of pleasure I have had from reading dog mysteries, not only from Ms. Conant but also from Laurien Berenson (poodles) and other authors.

And on the listing for the new Susan Conant mystery, Rottweiler Rescue is shown as first among the "Customers Who Bought This Also Bought" and is offered in one of Amazon's buy these two books together deals with the new Conant book! Seeing my book linked with an author I've long admired made me feel very good.

I got an email this morning saying that Rottweiler Rescue is going to be featured on Daily Cheap Reads - http://dailycheapreads.com/ - tomorrow and will be on the site at noon Central Time. The note said it will be the "top post" for two hours but I don't know if that means right at noon.

Anyway, I'm excited. I know that's a site many readers follow.

Today is the two-year anniversary of the start of my indie publishing career, and it all started with the upload of Rottweiler Rescue, a finished novel that had won the mystery division of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers annual contest and attracted interest of agents and editors but had also made me realize I didn't want to pursue traditional publishing.

I did that upload without the trepidation that affects a lot of indies but without much expectation either. Selling a few copies would be better than letting the book rot on my computer hard drive.

As it turned out that was a decision that changed my whole life for the better. I'm now working on a sequel to Rottweiler Rescue, admittedly belatedly as I got distracted by my romance novels. But I am determined to get that sequel, Rottweiler Railroad, out soon and not to be diverted again.

Looking forward to it!
