8 Crazy Things by Paty Jager

Blaze
Being the first Monday of each month, I usually have the privilege of starting the month off with the topic picked by the Blog Queens.  This month is Crazy 8s Blog-o-Versary. Yes, this blog has been going for 8 years and I've been with it every step of the way. It's been fun and I enjoy sharing things with those who follow the blog.

So to start off my 8 Crazy Things:

1) I have been a member of this blog for 8 years!

2) I have published books in 8 different genres.
Contemporary and historical western romance, Native American historical paranormal romance, Action Adventure, cozy paranormal mystery, police procedural

3) I have been a published author for 13 years.
Crazy to think I've been publishing that long when it feels like just yesterday that I held my first book in my hands.

4) I will have 40 published books by next month.
Book three in the Silver Dollar Saloon series will put me there! Crazy!

5) I love living in a rural area.
Living rural means less interruptions of people stopping by and lots of creative scenery.

6) I'm an introvert and my husband is an extrovert. He goes a lot of places alone. ;)

7) I'm excited to be taking my 2 mystery characters to interesting settings. (more on that later)

8) I had a new website made this year and I love the way it looks and how easy it is to navigate.

That is my list of 8 crazy things. This month will be busy for me. I have an event with 4 other awesome authors at the Asotin Library in Washington. The event is in conjunction with Cowboy Poets and Country Songwriters event it's being called Women Write the West and I'll be discussing voice and word choice. Should be fun. And I will do my usual three day sale event at the Sumpter Flea in Sumpter, Oregon over Memorial Weekend.

Have a great May!

Time has flown by as your post shows, Paty. And thanks for sticking with us! 40 books is Awesome! Of the 8 things you mentioned, the one that was the most surprising was #6. Not the you being the introvert, but that your husband is an extrovert.

Judith, I'm glad you and Sarah invited me to the blog when it started. And yes, my husband had to drive ten miles to the "local" cafe and have pie and coffee so he can visit with the neighbors and the tourists traveling through. LOL

Wow - congratulations on 40 published books!! I just published my eighth so I guess I have some catching up to do, hehe.

Hi Luanna, I guess you could say writing is my passion! Thanks for commenting!

Paty, you are proof that opposites attract. Though, on the brief passing conversations I've had with your husband I would not have tagged him as an extrovert. Driving the local cafe to chat is right out of Andy Griffith to me. :) I think he must be the best type of extrovert. Loves people but isn't a person who has to be the center of attention.

We will definitely need to find a way to celebrate your 40th book next month. When is your third Silver Dollar Saloon book scheduled to release? I want to mark it on my calendar.

Maggie,
Well, he doesn't have to be the center of attention is a people person and will talk to anyone. I on the other hand, prefer to hide and not have to talk to anyone. LOL

I hadn't thought about it but 40 years of marriage and my 40th book, it would make a great way to celebrate the book. The release date is on hold. I'm waiting for a photo release for the cover.
