This past weekend was chock full of writerly goodness. I attended 2 writer group meetings. There is something so rejuvenating about hanging out with others who love the same things you do. If I've hit a bit of a slump, I always come away motivated to write. And there's always something new about the writing world that I learn. The 1st meeting was my multi-genre group. The speaker, author William Bernhardt . He spoke about the business side of writing. Specifically, the trend toward self-publishing. Lots of charts showing the numbers between traditionally published writers and indie authors were passed around. I have to say, indie publishing does seem to have control of the market for the most part. Though I still would prefer to start with traditional publishing, I'm definitely not opposed to eventually self-publishing my books. Maybe. It seems for every 1 indie book I read that is amazing, I get hold of 5 that shouldn't have been published until they'...

I announced last summer that I was asked to write as a contributing author for the Shine miniseries by William Bernhardt. You've seen the promotions for the first novellas released in the series as you've followed me the last 6 months. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that my Shine story, Shine 7: Lost Haven will be published on Amazon as an e-book in April 2014. Coming April 2014 Please check out Shine 1-5 on Amazon and stay tuned for more news on my upcoming contribution! I'm participating in the Moonless Book Release Blogfest celebrating Crystal Collier 's paperback release of her novel, Moonless.

Hmmm, well, I'm honestly not into the arranged marriage thing. I love the man I picked very much. So I'm going to pretend that I'm 18 again, many y...

Woohoooooo! I woke up to my phone ringing at 5:30 in the A.M. and I. AM. PUMPED. (Can't you just hear the sound of Kesha's Tik Tok while you happy dance? LOL) I know, I know. Not the usual reaction to something so wrong, BUT...it was my kiddo's school calling to say school is canceled. Which means, my darlings, that I am up writing and I'll get an extra hour while the hub and kiddo sleep in. *fist pump* Before I move on to the actual writing part of my day, I'd like to share my new favorite meme: I've been using this endearment since forever. How awesome to find out it's meaning is spot on. I hope you day begins as fabulous as mine! Before you go, have you checked out The Shine miniseries by William Bernhardt? The first 5 installments are available and the 6th will be out on March 10th. You'll also be supporting your's truly as I'm writing in the series and will have my work published as installment #7 in April! Eeeekkkk! Pleas...
