My very long, revealing and bumpy path to publication is up at The Deadline Dames today. 🙂 http://www.deadlinedames.com/?p=4547 Edit!!!! You must check out the new book trailer for my critique partner’s new book! ALPHA comes out in a couple of weeks and FINALLY I’ll be able to talk to other readers about it. <g> [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjRJKmo61CA&feature=player_embedded]

Going to write today. The house could use some cleaning, but I don’t care. I feel like escaping deep into a fictional world of my creation. Feel like following the stream of light that takes me away from reality and let’s me experience excitement, challenge and maybe a little romance. Three chapters (and a working synopsis) of Unnatural…

So, we named this cat Poe for several reasons. At the time, we couldn’t tell if it was a boy or girl–it’s hard with long-haired cats and well, everyone deserves a bit of privacy.  Poe worked for a boy because I love the writer and it worked for a girl because I love the singer. Plus,…

Quick post here. Today’s my day at The Deadline Dames and we have a winner and new image up for our Readers on Deadline. This is a popular monthly feature of the Dames, so check it out. Who knows? You could get a book idea or two. Prize up this month is Dame Keri’s DESTINY…

I mean, how could it not????

Yes, I gave you screaming girl in the last post. Sorry ’bout that. There are days when being on submission makes you feel a little like that and then there are days it feels more like the picture above. Like you have this glowing dream almost within reach. Honestly, I’m still pretty excited about a couple of…

The Deadline Dames are sharing paths to publication over the next two weeks. Mine may come later because the Readers on Deadline is my next post. May switch it up and do the ROD later instead, though. These are very interesting stories. Hope you enjoy them. Sorry for the slow posts lately. I’ve been busy…

So, even though Unnatural Selection (US) isn’t complete, I decided to go ahead and polish up the first three chapters to give to my agent. I did this with Foretold–back when it was called Wyrd, The Turning. Not only was that original title all wrong but Miriam let me know the style of book wasn’t…

Thought I’d try out audio books and what better time than now? Why you ask? The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is offered as a free download this week. I’ve wanted to read this book for some time. http://www.audiobookcommunity.com/page/sync-link You do have to sign up and download their software, but I’ve been curious about audio…
