Accessories for The Fourth Of July

In the 237 summers which have come and gone since July 4th, 1776, the date has increasingly become a juncture for white sales and auto dealer blowouts. In fact, lost amidst the mall madness and car lot carnivals is a simultaneously fascinating and pedantic period of committee meetings, assignations, rewrites, copies, messengers, vote-taking and gallons of coffee, ale and wine. As I currently scribe the fourth novel in my six-part, historical-fiction series of books, Savannah of Williamsburg, Independence Day takes on a more front-and-center appearance than usual as research takes me through the 1750s, well into the meaty burgeoning of colonial revolution.

I have noticed, most happily, an uptick in pageviews ici and, gloriously, a new follower!! Merci, merci Haute World!! (For those of you whom are unaware, please add Haute World to your lists! Marvelous galleries of high- and fantasy-fashion/decor, as most safely enjoyed and optimally viewed through the professionally lit looking glasses of some of Europe's most majestic grands-magasins and p'tites boutiques. If Audrey would have subscribed to something as prosaic as a blog, she would have followed Haute World ... and mine, I'm certain!)

Ainsi, as I am churning blog themes in my noodle, I thought I would conduct a wee experiment. As some of you may know, I am an author. I scribe pre-Revolutionary, historical-fiction set in 18thC. Europe and America: Savannah of Williamsburg. A little Redwall, a little John Adams, a little Emma, mine is an odd and unique series of three books thus far (1705-1735) with three more planned and leading up to the American Revolution. (I have also recently finished my fourth novel: a contemporary-fiction, only mildly related to the Savannah Series, but a decidedly non child-friendly and mature title set in present-day Orange County and San Diego, California. Finally, it is done and shall be available soon here on JennyPop for your eReader!!! Who would have thought pure-fiction would prove more difficult to write than historical-? Phew. C'est fini!)

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! She has finished The Darlings of Orange County!

Now, whilst I am most proud of my very loyal following, it is indeed small, yet devoted ... yet small. Yes, the Twilight books may have 7.6 million fans on Facebook, but I have 76. Mon Dieu!! That's almost the same number: just one nasty little decimal point in the way. To wit, my experiment ... I would like to see how many new fans I can add via this blog. C'est ca, c'est simple. I sincerely appreciate the fact that anyone would read my blog. I am also beyond-appreciative that folks would read my books. I am forever touched and amazed at books signings when I see readers plunk down real cash for my wordsmithing. Une mille mercis a tous!

 

Now, allons-y! Off you go! Like, thee, Savannah of Williamsburg!

Oh, do me a huge fave? If you do join, post a little note on the Savannah of Williamsburg wall and let us know from where you are viewing! I love seeing readers from the Netherlands and Slovenia, Norway and France, Ireland and Sweden! Joy to the World, n'est-ce pas?
