So what does one do after she has produced and published 2,000 blog posts and 42 books? In my world, she keeps on keeping on. I\u2019ve finished Book number 43 (look for it to debut next month), and this is my 2001st<\/sup> blog post.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also planning a blog tour to promote my growing number of cozy mysteries. I now have 3 in the Klepto Cat Mystery series published\u2014Catnapped, Cat-Eye Witness<\/i> and Sleight of Paw<\/i>. The fourth, Undercover Cat<\/i> is with the proofreader. The one common word coming from all of the beta-readers so far is, \u201cExcellent!\u201d And most are saying, \u201cThe best one, yet!\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a stopover point for authors on blog tours before, but this will be my first tour. I plan to post something or be interviewed or have my book reviewed at five blogs devoted to cozy mysteries and\/or cats during the week of Valentine\u2019s Day. I\u2019ll release my schedule as soon as I have it set so that you can join in with me for the fun. Yes, there will be prizes and give-aways.<\/p>\n

If any of you reading this have done a book tour, I\u2019d love to hear (and share) your stories, your successes, things that didn\u2019t work out and the results of your effort\u2014number of books sold, new clients, etc.<\/p>\n
