Bad Blogger (Who me?)

A few people have commented to me recently that my blog has been, well, less than active. (I'm pretty sure they mean absent, but friends have a way of putting things so nicely, don't they?). So what's been keeping me from posting? What could be so all consuming and important? Well, lots of things!

First and foremost, I'm excited to announce that my husband and I are expecting our first child! While the baby won't be here until March, it's been a little overwhelming and tiring. Silly me. I thought I could just do it all! However, I'm constantly reminded how much work blogging really is and I again commend the pros for their planning, dedication, and consistency. I'm working to be better and if I could just get a few more hours in a day, I'm sure I'd be successful, but I'm not giving up just yet. I still love to read and I still love to talk books.

I've also been working full steam ahead to finish my manuscript, Crossroads, the first book in the Crossroads Academy series, and prep it for publication. I've partnered with a wonderful designer and we are very close to not only introducing my blog makeover, but launching my website http://www.jjbonds.com/! I am so excited and can't wait to share her work with you all because it's awesome!

I hope to have my book published and the new site launched by Halloween. If you want to grab a sneak peak, check out my link on GoodReads!

In short, I know I've been a bad blogger, but I'll be working with renewed focus in the coming weeks to keep things fresh and up to date!
