Me as Grandma Bear

Date: November 4, 2023

Author: Bobbi Holmes

I’m back from the short visit with my daughter and grandkids. Her hubby was off on a hunting trip, so I only saw him the first day I was there. While the trip was brief, I enjoyed myself. I even joined the grandkids for some trick or treating around their neighborhood. I borrowed my son-in-law’s costume. So instead of the Three Bears being a papa, mama, and baby bear, we were grandma, mama, and baby bear.

My new book, The Ghost and the Twins, came out last Monday. During the first few days, it earned a Top New Release banner at Amazon in ghosts, and a bestseller banner over at Barnes & Noble. It currently has 274 ratings at Amazon, with a 4.8-star average, and 121 ratings on Goodreads, with a 4.9-star average.

The audiobook for The Ghost and the Wedding Crasher came out on Halloween, and The Ghost and the Twins audiobook is coming in January.

Since returning home, I’ve been working on my social media and marketing. The first thing I’m focusing on—my newsletter. I try to send out a newsletter every two weeks. But I’ve been a little flaky the last few months. Yet I promise to get back to every two weeks—and in each newsletter I have a raffle.

Hello World!

I periodically go MIA from my blog when I get involved in projects and life in general. But now that I’ve wrapped up the 31^st book in my Haunting Danielle series I can take a breath and catch you up on what’s been going on.

We enjoyed our first summer in Oregon. Taking care of my 94-year-old mother, who has vascular dementia, has kept me somewhat homebound. So we didn’t do much exploring. But there was much to keep us busy on the Holmestead, such as tending to the vegetable garden, watching our son and daughter-in-law’s house go up next door, and do projects around here to make this our home.

My next book, The Ghost and the New Neighbor, the 31^st book in the Haunting Danielle series, comes out on November 22, 2022 in eBook format. November 22 also happens to be my birthday! I am turning 68! (Egads!!!)

The paperbacks—regular print and large print—are already available on Amazon, and the eBook, published by Tantor Media, is slated to come out in January 2023.

Before anyone asks—this upcoming book won’t be the last Haunting Danielle book. I’ve already put Book 32—The Ghost and the Wedding Crasher—on pre-order. It’s slated to come out March 29, 2023.

I have been having fun over at TikTok, posting book related content—and sometimes videos reflecting my personal views and giving a glimpse of my life. Watching the videos over there has been interesting—an insight to the younger generation and other cultures.

In other, more personal news, I’ve scheduled my knee replacement surgery for January 25, 2023. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with mom while I deal with my knee. My sister has offered to come out for about ten days to take care of her, but I’m not sure what I will do after that. But now that I have The Ghost and the New Neighbor wrapped up, I can focus on arranging help for mom.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season. Be kind to each other.

Over on Amazon The Ghost and the Bride got one of those little orange banners. It showed up the day of the release, on Saturday. The Ghost and the Bride made it to number one in Ghost Fiction at Amazon. I’ve been getting positive feedback on this newest release. One reviewer called it both funny and sad.
