The Only Thing to Fear is --
Ducklings!
|
This week I'm celebrating:
1) My regular internet connection came back 4 days after the giant rain storm, so I won't have to go to their office and complain. Yay!
2) Even though it might seem I wasted my money paying for another connection when I only needed it for 4 days, there was no way to tell if the regular connection would come back after 4 days or 4 weeks.
3) If it would have happened on a Monday, maybe I wouldn't have freaked out. But it was on a Thursday when I write my Celebrate post! I treasure all the Celebrate The Small Things members and all those who stop by my blog. I love reading everyone's posts, and I feel like I'd let you down if I disappeared and didn't post or visit. In Jan 2015, when I took over hosting the Celebrate hop from VikLit, I wrote her: "Unless I'm in the hospital or dead, I promise to post every Friday and do my best to visit other participants." And I've done so every week for almost 2 years -- and no giant rain storm will ever stop me!
My sincere thanks to eveyone who visits my blog. You keep me motivated. You keep me going. You make it a pleasure to be in this blogging community! :)
There are 2 NEW RELEASES this week:
A murder enveloped in pain and mystery...
When Canada's retired Minister of National Defense, Leland Warner, is murdered in his home, the case is handed to Corporal Danny Killian, an aboriginal man tortured by his wife's unsolved murder.
The suspect, 60-year-old Sally Warner, still grieves for the loss of her two sons, dead in a suicide/murder eighteen months earlier. Confused and damaged, she sees in Corporal Killian a friend sympathetic to her grief and suffering and wants more than anything to trust him.
Danny finds himself with a difficult choice—indict his prime suspect, the dead minister's horribly abused wife or find a way to protect her and risk demotion. Or worse, transfer away from the scene of his wife’s murder and the guilt that haunts him...

She lives with her husband and their two cats Marbles and Shasta on beautiful Cluculz Lake in central British Columbia. They spend their winters in Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico.

Blake Herro is a cop in the Cleveland Police Force. Ever since he was a child he wanted to do right by the city he loved by cleaning up the streets and protecting its citizens. Red, a notorious mobster, has other plans.
On a bitter December night, ten police officers are drawn into a trap and killed by Red’s followers. Blake wants to bring down the Mob to avenge his fallen brothers and to prevent other cops from being murdered. Except the only way he can do that is by infiltrating the Mob.
Every minute he’s with these mobsters he’s in danger. Around every corner lies the threat of coming face to face with a gun. Will he make it out of the Mob alive or will he be their next victim?

I'm glad you got your internet back! Have a great weekend!
You know, I'm old enough to remember life without the Internet and remember how excited I was when it first appeared. I went to the sole Internet cafe in my area weekly to do some research for my first couple of books. I wouldn't want to be without it now. :)
Yay for reliable internet! While I remember the world int he days before internet or cell phones or anything, I really can't imagine it now. Although it would occasionally be nice not to be contactable at all hours of the day and night….
Glad you have your internet back, amazing how much we rely on it now isn't it! I had a few days recently without it and it can certainly make things difficult! Thank you for being a fantastic host of the celebrations hop, Lexa. Happy weekend.
Now I know, you are crazy dedicated. Hey, unless I'm dead, I'm posting for the IWSG.
Big congratulations to both Joylene and Chrys!
You have marvelous dedication! I so look forward to this Friday Celebration too! I love the ducklings chasing the cat :)
Congratulations to all the new releases, they look amazing!!
It's always a pleasure to stop by here and see what's going on! And congrats to Joylene and Chrys! Have a great weekend!
Your celebrations make me smile!
If it happens any day of the week, I freak out.
Thank you for featuring Joylene's book.
Love the little ducks chasing the cat.
Congrats to Joylene and Chrys!
Glad to hear your net is back to normal. What a pain that must have been. And your thoughts on this blog hop or so sweet. But this is a wonderful group of people.
You are certainly dedicated which can be rare these days.
I love those ducklings and the cat - so cute! Yay that your internet connection is working. It's so disappointing when the internet goes down.
LOVE THE DUCKLINGS!
Lexa, I'm glad to hear you have internet connection again. We're fortunate to not lose ours very often and when we do it's usually only for a few hours, not days. Have a funtastic weekend, my friend and thank you for hosting the celebration fun!
I would be going stir crazy if the internet went down for 4 days.
Hard to believe a big cat would be so afraid of little ducklings.
I totally get it. That's a terrifying prospect to be disconnected, and I feel the same obligation to my readers/the authors I feature. Speaking of, thanks again for the listing. I appreciate it so much!
When my Internet connection is down, I panic. I'm glad you got it back.
That's a lot of awesome freebies! I got Heart Stopper a few days ago. I can't wait to read it.
Congrats to Joylene!!!
And thank you so much for including 30 Seconds Before and my sale! I really appreciate it. :D
Thank you so much, Lexa. I wasn't expecting this. You are so sweet. Glad to hear of your blessings. Love the ducklings. Glad your internet's back. Thanks again! Congrats to Chrys!!!
Glad you got your internet back! Have a great weekend :)
I'm glad your internet is working again. It's really terrible without it. We all depend on it.
I"m sure everyone loves stopping by to see what;s going on with everyone who follows your blog. Hope you have a fun weekend.
Hi, Lexa,
SO happy your internet has been returned. I certainly remember not having access for weeks once a few years ago and I went nuts.... especially since it was during the A-Z challenge. I had to post every day at the local McDonalds... ugh. LOL HAPPY WEEKEND!
Just wanted to say how much your dedication is appreciated by us all but I was rather worried about you risking life and limb last week to ensure we could take part in Celebrate! Remember we are here for you too if you do need help but so happy that everything is back to normal :) Enjoy your weekend, Lexa.

I was floored when my internet went down this week. Thanks for keeping this bloghop going. I don't post every week, but I try to keep up when I can.
Yay for internet! I hope you had a great weekend, Lex!
Yay for your internet connection. The ducklings vs. cat video is fantastic. Congratulations to the authors on their releases.
Yay internet connection!!! And congrats to Joylene and Chrys!!
The universe is conspiring to test your mettle! You've risen to the the challenge and won! Yay for you.
And yay for Joylene and Chrys!
Congrats Joylene and Chrs. Glad you are safe and sound Lexa.
Wonderful to see two blogging buddies here today with their new books. Congrats to both of them!
So happy for you that your internet is back up and running. You are awesome for your hard work on your Celebrate post and for getting to people and commenting every week. Simply awesome! :)

Happy Days are back with the Internet.
Congratulations to Joylene and Chrys
Have a great week.
Wow, talk about dedication! Glad to hear your regular internet connection finally returned, and that you didn't have to do any complaining for that to happen. I had to deal with some pretty headachy customer service last month, so yeah, I can just imagine how relieved you must be to avoid something similar!
You never disappoint with the gifs! I wonder if this cat will ever be able to live this down? If any other cats were around watching I know the answer is not a chance.
Congrats to Joylene and Chrys!!
Haven't visited in awhile. Also haven't posted for Celebrate the Small Things lately. I guess life has intervened. You always have the most entertaining gifs - where do you find them? Thanks for highlighting new releases. I always learn about a few new authors from your posts. Visiting from the IWSG. www.dianeweidenbenner.com
Don't worry, next week you'll be feeling like the biggest hero ever because you'll have all the scenes sorted out and they'll be spectacular. Then you can pat yourself on the back again. :)
