Part of the Process

This little comic strip depicts how I’ve felt the past few months. My normal writing schedule has been consumed by creating media streams and social roads, to bring people like you, to places like this.

I once heard someone say that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. It seems that way when you're very busy too.

This year has been a blur for me as I’ve spun, whirled and twirled around blogs, twitters, and sites to learn the authors' happy d...

Pinterest is the Best :)

I am totally hooked on Pinterest!  (Well, not really :) But there are so many beautiful things to see and to pin! It's like creating a collage of "who you are" or what you find beautiful. It sure is fun dreaming : ) http://pinterest.com/caroljmccormick/

Making Memorial Day Memorable :)

So there we were, Mom and me, hauling things from her shed. The lawnmower came out, and then gloves, a long lost water bottle, and small garden tools were emptied from the wheelbarrow so we could take it to my car. Being younger and more agile, I lifted the wheelbarrow with a youthful attitude and quickly backed it out of the shed and right up onto the lawnmower. I went down and my legs went up, as Mom with arms aflutter, yelled, “Are you okay?!” I was half laughing because I couldn’t ge...

Serendipity

I’ve been thinking about this whole book publishing and promoting business, and the most unexpected bonus that I have discovered is that there are some amazing people out there. Readers have written fantastic reviews that have truly blown me away. Twitterers have retweeted my tweets, and readers and authors have “liked” my facebook book page. I’ve been interviewed on one awesome blog, and read some others that are chocked full of information and encouragement, all of which have helped propel,...

Final Freebie of my eBook THE MISSING PIECE!

My (Christian-based) inspirational love story, The Missing Piece, will be free May 22nd and 23rd for all you Kindle owners. This will be the last time that my eBook will be offered for free, except in the future when I host contests and giveaways. I am opting out of the wonderful KDP program, ONLY because I would like to make my eBooks available to Barnes and Noble NOOK readers too (which will happen this weekend!).

So click away and tell your friends, and I thank you in advance : ) I truly do...
