So, here’s the deal. After a restful week of visiting friends, working around the house and doing my best to piss off the literati establishment, it’s back-to-school time here in lovely Marietta, Georgia. Since we also just voted to have Sunday alcohol sales (in the afternoon only – no drinking in church), parents in these parts have multiple reasons to celebrate.

I have mixed feelings today, because both Monkey and my little Fozzie Bear are going to preschool three days a week starting this fall. It’s a wonderful little religious preschool where Monkey has always been happy and Fozzie is going to be snuggled and kissed all day, so I know they’ll be fine, but somehow it’s so much harder dropping my baby off in a new place than just sneaking out the front door while he’s playing with the nanny in our living room. I’m getting more time to work, and write, which is great and empowering. But still.

How do I handle mixed feelings? Well, it’s too early in the day for vodka (or at least, too early to publicly admit to drinking vodka), so I’ve decided to distract myself with a free book promo. Or two.

That’s right, my lovelies. Both books, free, now. today and tomorrow only (until midnight-ish Tuesday the 14th), you can download The Marriage Pact free for your kindle AND Regrets Only, the sequel. If I had a third book, I’d give that one away, too, just for fun, but I haven’t started writing that one yet. So this is going to have to tide you over for a while!

Think of it as my back-to-school gift to you. Or an end-of-summer gift for those of you who haven’t started back yet. Or a “this doesn’t impact me” gift for those who don’t have kids in school. Think of it however you’d like, just download, read and enjoy, and please do post honest reviews about either or both if you get the chance.

In the meantime, I’m just going to curl up with a couple of my kids’ stuffed animals and have a good cry. And maybe just one screwdriver, for courage.

Get The Marriage Pact here (normally 99 cents): http://www.amazon.com/The-Marriage-Pact-ebook/dp/B0055LH79Q/

Get Regrets Only here (normally $2.99): http://www.amazon.com/Regrets-Only-ebook/dp/B008QD09P4/

I’m predicting there will be very few promos for Regrets Only, so share the love with others while you can!

xoxox,
M.J.
