USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart

With the growing popularity of online retailers it seems as if everyone and his Uncle Lou has a website, a blog and is peddling something on the social networks. I feel like I spend half of my online time anymore un-friending/ un-following people who have no interest in me, my books or anything except my money. Joke's on you, sucker. See the moths fluttering out of my wallet? They are not just for show. Every so often, I need to stop and take stock of just how much cyberspace I'm inhabiting and consider whether the mass has enough gravitational pull to actually interest people or if I'm two steps away from the fiends pushing aides for erectile dysfunction. Twelve through eight are the promotional loops, review sites and other blogs I hit up, pimping my books, both old and new. Yeah there are that many.

Just received word that Swept Under the Rug , book two in my zany Laundry Hag series will be available on June 22! Mark your calenders, folks. What better way to kick off the summer than a few good laughs? Look for an excerpts later this week, plus new recipes, and info on Hag Swag giveaways! Crime and grime are everywhere, at least in Maggie Phillips’ opinion. Deep in the throes of a New England winter, Maggie’s still adjusting to her new role as confidential informant for the Hudson Police Department.

On the home front, her twelve-year-old son is growing up way too fast, while her brother is back with a few surprises destined to wreak havoc on the household. To frost the whole crappy cake, her best friend’s marriage is falling apa...

I don't know how much its worth, but I love my temp cover for book two in the Stellarverse series, almost as much as the first half a chapter I've written.

As you can see, I fully intended to make this one a little more intense I promised myself a break; I've already completed two novels this year, but the truth is, I really don't want one. All I do is think about the next project and if I'm already devoting my brain power to it, I might as well write it! I'd fire me from household duties if I could. But I live with three boys and a beagle and they sure aren't going out of their way to tackle the to do list. Next life, I'm coming back a man or a dog.
