Sandra S. Kerns’ Blog – Sock Munkee’s Journey Continues

Good morning, everyone! I finished edits (hopefully the last ones) on my next release, so I decided to get another installment of Sock Munkee’s journey out for you.

I’ve got Sock Munkee on the line early today so we can give you another installment before I go to Lamar’s for my free doughnut (it is National Donut Day) and he goes to Dunkin’ Donuts in NY for his. Believe me, Sock Munkee LOVES donuts (he prefers devil’s food chocolate glazed if you were wondering).

So, we promised you the lowdown on their first night in a hotel at the end of the first installment. Here we go.

Traveling Kitty

If Sock would slow down and roll down the window just a little I know I could squeeze through and be FREE!

They got through PA. That was an accomplishment with the kitties in the back screaming about their ‘jail cell’ all the way. Actually, Diz (the older of the two kitties) didn’t stay in the cell long. Sock Munkee said Diz is quite the escape artist. It took herless than five minutes to escape the harness the ‘humans’ put her in for walks on the way. Then, they barely got the car door closed before she was sitting in the window planning her escape from the car.

“I will not slow down or roll down the window,” Sock Munkee  told her, “So, hush and deal with it.”

OOO, OOO, me, take my picture.

Sock told me you have to be firm with the kitties or they think they can run the show. Now the flamingos on the other hand, are just silly.  He didn’t have to worry about them running off. They just wanted their pictures taken every time they stopped to fill up the truck.

 

SM on Facebook

We FINALLY made it to the hotel. The Lil Bit (the younger kitty) is hiding under the bed and Diz is prowling. The mingos are preening in the mirror for their next photo shoot. I swear Joy and Pete spoil them.

At the hotel Sock finally got some quiet time. He visited with friends on FB. He gave me his post that night, so I put it with the picture. It sounds like it’s going to be a LONG trip for him.

I guess it was difficult to get Bit out from under the bed the next morning. You know they close in the bottoms of all those hotel beds, so they had to take the mattress and boxspring off to get her out. Crazy Cat.

SM Nite Nite

Nite Nite

All in all it was a quiet night. Everyone was worn out from the excitement of starting their trip. The beds were comfortable and Sock Munkee did manage to get some good shut eye. He would need it for the next couple of days on the road.

Stay tuned for the next installment that will include their experience at McD’s before finally arriving in CO.

Now, off for our free donuts!!!

 

Sandra S. Kerns’ Blog – Apology to Sock Munkee

Late last night, I received an urgent email from Sock Munkee requesting a change to my blog post yesterday. I was so embarrassed. You would think as long as I have known him, I wouldn’t spell his name wrong, but there it is. Posted incorrectly for all the world to see. My apologies Sock Munkee. I’m just thankful you have agreed to continue your series with me.

Sock Munkee also wanted me to let you know he has his own Facebook page. I’ve added the link and his FB picture so you know you have the right one.

I hope you will all go and let him know you are enjoying his visit here.

Fellow Inklings Agency Author’s Cover Reveal

After reading the blurb, and who wouldn’t love this cover, I can tell you I’m putting this book on my by-as-soon-as-it-comes-out list! This amazing cover was designed by Wendy Chan over at Orbit! Read to the end for a chance to win a galley copy of Charming!


CHARMING will be released in September 2013 (Orbit). Want to know more?

Here’s the blurb:
John Charming isn’t your average Prince …

He comes from a line of Charmings — an illustrious family of dragon slayers, witch-finders and killers dating back to before the fall of Rome. Trained by a modern day version of the Knights Templar, monster hunters who have updated their methods from chainmail and crossbows to shotguns and kevlar, he was one of the best. That is– until he became the abomination the Knights were sworn to hunt.

That was a lifetime ago. Now, he tends bar under an assumed name in rural Virginia and leads a peaceful, quiet life. One that shouldn’t change just because a vampire and a blonde walked into his bar … Right?

Look for more Charming stories to be released soon by Orbit Short Fiction, too!

Want to win a galley copy of Charming? Simply share this blog post on Twitter, with the hashtag #Charming. At 12:01 a.m. Tuesday March 12th, we will put all the #Charming tweets in a hat and draw for the winner!
