Thanks VIKLIT |
Yesterday the washing machine broke and flooded the laundry room floor.
The cat had a major hairball event.
The puppy ate the orchid.
The sink clogged.
Today I’m Celebrating that my husband has “fixed” the washing machine.
The cat is in the sun, grooming and smiling as cats do.
The puppy is well and home with his real mom.
The sink. . .well, it’s slow, but sure.
And then we have to give a huge
HURRAH
to
Tyrean Martinson
as we
REVEAL
her
COVER!
THE SECOND BOOK IN THE CHAMPION TRILOGY |
About Champion in Flight
A year after she won the battle for Septily, Clara feels trapped in Skycliff by the Allied Council. As the last pieces of information about the Healing Caves fall into place, Clara is attacked by an assassin. Covert Drinaii mercenaries and the Council aren’t going to stop Clara from her quest to heal her broken blade. As Champion of Aramatir, she must act.
Meanwhile, in the joint kingdoms of Rrysorria and Wylandria, the youngest and still cursed swan prince, despairs of ever being whole again. In a moment of anger and desperation, Liam discovers a blood link between him and a dark sorceress.
Clara won the battle for Septily, but her battle isn’t over.

I hope your weekend is perfect: that all your machines function properly, that your cat/dog/hamster/rabbit is happy and well, that all your sinks remain unclogged, and that you Celebrate every single moment.
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Hi Lee .. oh oh .. thank goodness for a husband and I sure hope all is recovered by now .. and that sink is less clogged – such an irritation when things happen …
Cheers Hilary

This is so much like my life. Usually, the disasters happen as soon as hubby goes TDY. A chicken disappears. The neighbor returns the escapee 3 weeks later. Yea! Turns out it's been hiding and laying its eggs under the neighbor's house. Upon rejoining the flock, the roaming chicken teaches all the others how to fly over the cuckoo's nest. They've escaped every day since. But they still return at night. Yea!
Our cabinets arrive. Yea! But they don't match. After a week of me pleading with the cabinet company, they decide to reorder. Yea!
Storms help our new orchard trees and garden grow. Yea! The road into our neighborhood floods and the septic tank backs up. Oh, wait, the last one happened before hubby left but before we could get it fixed. How can you fix the weather? Still yea!–for the blueberries ripened by the rain. Let it pour!

I'm sorry, but your first few lines made me chuckle. Life has fed me similar sour milk, lately. Here's to things getting better for you!
Michelle Wallace says
Congrats to Tyrean!
I still have her first book on my Kindle, waiting to be read…
Carrie Butler says
Great reminder, Lee! Sometimes we just have to keep a 'this too shall pass' mantra going. 🙂
Congrats, Tyrean!
Medeia Sharif says
That's a lot of things all at once. I'm glad things evened out.
Congrats to Tyrean.
Nas says
Oh, great on getting the washing machine fixed!
Congratulations on the new release Tyrean!
Karen Jones Gowen says
Congrats, Tyrean! Wishing you all the best with your new release.
DEZMOND says
your cat smiles? My usually just plots devious plans on how to assassinate My Imperial self by tripping me….
Stephanie Faris says
Ugh! Sorry to hear about your washing machine, but it's great that you have a repairman on hand.
Shannon Lawrence says
Glad everything worked out in time for you to celebrate the small things! Was it the only orchid?
Tina says
Wow, a supernova-trifecta of events…Glad you're recovering and can actually celebrate. Love me some good attitude!

Great post! Thanks for sharing! Following!
Yep, washing machines can agitate and put you in a spin when they don't work. Hopefully, it really is fixed. Might be a good idea to remove the cat from the sun. It can get pretty darned hot on the sun. Puppy goes home and had done it's work, kinda like The Littlest Hobo. No more feelings to make you sink, I think.
Yay to Tyrean. Another one of Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar's adoring fans. All the beast, um best, Tyrean. And living in the Pacific Northwest is neat. Quite often wet, but neat nonetheless.
Time to sort out my widescreen microwave…..
Gary, the starstruckest fan of Lee, yes that Lee, not that one obsessed with the alphabet, Lee!
J.L. Campbell says
I hope things are even better now. Our challenges do seem to come all at once. Congrats to Tyrean.
Old Kitty says
Glad all is well again! Phew!! You've conquered and triumphed over these adversities! Yay!
All the best to the amazingly named Tyrean!! Take care

So sorry to hear about all the things that went wrong- but I love how you turned things around and focused on the positive! 🙂 Hope Saturday is filled with sunshine and happiness.
Congrats to Tyrean.

Cathrina Constantine says
I've had such days, Lee. They're never pretty, but tend to work themselves out, so glad yours did. A big congrats to Tyrean!! Her book sounds wonderful.
Angela Brown says
Three cheers for Tyrean and her latest release! YAY!!!!!!
And glad to hear that the not-so-great things turned around to be worthwhile things to celebrate 🙂
Southpaw says
My oh my, yesterday sounds trying, glad today is better.
Sherry Ellis says
Cat hairball events and broken washing machines are never good. I'm glad things are getting fixed!
Beverly Stowe McClure says
Lovely book cover. I'm happy most things are working again at your house. Some days are so frustrating. Makes us appreciate when all goes well.
Zoe Byrd says
Now its just a matter of keeping the wind at your back!
Lexa Cain says
Is it dreadful that I laughed at your misfortunes? Especially since they bore a close resemblance to my last comment to you. The only thing you didn't do was get the runs from the black berries. Yay! My sink clogs every day. I've become a champion plunger-er.
Speaking of that (champions, not plunger-ers), congrats to Tyrean on her new cover! 🙂
Caffe Maggieato says
Gotta love those celebrations. Have a great weekend.
Melissa says
Puppy at an orchid! Eww. LOL
I hate major appliance breakdowns, especially wet ones. Poor you.
Congrats, Tyrean! 😀
Michael Di Gesu says
HI, Lee,
Thankfully all worked out well! YAY, LEE!
A HUGE CONGRATS to TYREAN! I had the pleasure of introducing her first book last year in the A-Z… WAYT TO GO! ALL THE BEST TYREAN!!!!!
S.K. Anthony says
Congrats to Tyrean!!
Oh boy . . . I sure hope your husband doesn't "fix" things the way my husband does. If he does, I hope the plumber is waiting outside the door lol
Let's Celebrate!

All fabulous things to celebrate!
Hugs and chocolate!

Tyrean Martinson says
I'm so sorry about your washing machine, cat, puppy, and sink.
At the same time, I'm really glad that all are good now – even the sink is at least running, right?
I hope you have an amazing, excellent, wonderful, joyous weekend and rest of the year!
And thanks for helping with my cover reveal!
C. Lee McKenzie says
So pleased to help. I know you'll do well with this book.
Mere Joyce says
My goodness…glad to hear things have settled! Here's to a calm, relaxing weekend, =)
C. Lee McKenzie says
Me, too!
Al Diaz says
Glad puppy, cat, and washing machine are ok now. Slow sinks might try our patience but still better than totlly clogged ones. Happy weekend.
Congrats, Tyrean!
Tyrean Martinson says
Ditto on the gladness!
And thanks, Al!
C. Lee McKenzie says
It's always something around a house, but I'd rather those things came in ones.
Elizabeth Seckman says
Poor puppy! Good thing you realized, I've heard orchids can be lethal. I once had a cat who ate an African violet. So weird.
C. Lee McKenzie says
And why I ask. We had bowls of organic, non toxic food right there for the taking. The orchid required work to reach.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Cover just pops, Tyrean!
Did the cat at least hurl on the flooded laundry room floor?
Tyrean Martinson says
Thanks, Alex!
And eww . . . that would be the kind of thing that would happen to me. I'm so sorry for the rough day, C. Lee. I'm glad today is better.
C. Lee McKenzie says
You're right about the cover. Unfortunately, you're wrong about the cat. That kind of perfection only happens in novels.
Shah Wharton says
Little celebrations make big smiles. Have a great weekend and congrats to Tyrean on the cover reveal! 🙂
