Correcting A Frustrating Mistake

 Hopefully I’m on time here this week—despite how unusual that is these days. I’m still busy with the edits to my second book in my upcoming K-9 Crime Solvers series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. But life goes on, and my time is often interrupted by things both important and not so important.

 Earlier this week, I had to spend a long time resetting a password for a Yahoo email account. My husband and I received an invitation to a neighbor’s party that required putting some information on the site to RSVP. We checked with the neighbor, and she said it was legit, so I went ahead and entered the info—only to be told by the neighbor that she’d been confused and there was no party. The invitation was apparently a scam to get information that otherwise wouldn’t be provided, which I’d unfortunately done. I had to delete and change some information without knowing how to do it, so I had to contact a Yahoo person—very nice, and he walked me through fixing the issue. 

But that was time-consuming. Plus, frustrating, since I’m always assuming things are scams and therefore avoiding them—but not this time. 

Okay then, it’s hopefully fixed, and now I’m back to my edits, feeling somewhat foolish for falling for that scam.  

Oh, well. At least all seems okay now.
