It's ROAD TRIP time!!!!
Hey all,
Another Friday, another blog. We are now settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina and are enjoying a few days off before Jonathon goes back to work. We're going to take a trip out of town, and we've decided to visit Mar del Plata Beaches, and if we have time, the Valdes Peninsula. One will be a fun vacation town and the other a little slice of out-of-the-way paradise.
You can google each of these if you want to know more, but I'll stop back with a blog on our trip later on. I act...

Dreaming For the Future
Hey all,
I know I've been teasing you with the idea of some great news lately, so I thought I'd tease you a bit more today. Not in words, but in pictures. Maybe you can figure out what we're doing with these visual clues. :-)
I still can't tell you everything, but this blog might at least point you in the right direction. :-)
Until next time...

A Little Bit of Weird
Hey all,
Sometimes when I've got a blog due, I have to go wander the internet to find something to jabber about. I don't have to do it often, just when my brain stalls. But you know it's going to be a strange blog when you have trouble finding ANYTHING to talk about.
Seriously...even my usual Huffington Post site had slim pickin's this time. I could rant about the stupid article where it talks about females promoting Donald Trump by writing his name on their boobs. (yeah...tha...

Don't Forget To Dance!
Hey all,
As you read this, I'm getting ready to move back To Buenos Aires, Argentina. We were there in 2014 and it's one of the South American cities I really enjoyed. Not only are there great museums, parks and shopping, but there is a lot to see in the surrounding areas. We're hoping to do a lot of traveling around the country this time.
We're in Argentina for almost two months, so we'll have plenty of time to do what we want to do. Especially since we've done so much last time.

Hey Ho, A Packing I Go
Hey all,
I'm packing today...my least favorite part about being on tour. I swear, things breed in our suitcases, and I always have more than I thought I did, even when I haven't done any shopping.
Over the next couple weeks, I'll be on and offline. Doing our usual moving from one city to another. I really hate this part, and I sometimes wonder if I'm close to being done with this lifestyle. I love seeing new things, but I miss having my own place.
So how was everyone's Easter? Ours w...

To Love A TV Show Or Hate It
Hey all,
I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do, it's usually something suspenseful in some way. I've never been into sitcoms, though there are a few I've enjoyed. But I'm more into dramas and shows that take me out of my normal every day life and into something exciting and new.
And I love it when a book I've enjoyed is taken and made into a series I love.
Now there have been a lot of books that have been turned into movies or TV shows. Some movies are outstanding (Lord of the Rin...

Doing The Happy Dance!!!
Hey all,
Last Friday I wrote how difficult my writing was going because of the migraine. It wasn't easy, but I didn't give up and eventually fought through it. Yet I realized even with my head pounding, that the headache wasn't the only reason I was having difficulties.
As you may know, I've been working on the sequel to my Christmas dragon story, Dragon Games: Snip! Snap! Dragon! You met Lucina and Ryuu in that book, and I'd been looking forward to telling their story.
But Dragon Gam...

A Bit of Fun, A Bit of Fluff
Hey all,
Since I don't have any releases until the middle of next month, I thought today, I'd do a fun log with some of the humorous memes and pics I've seen lately. Enjoy!!!
Every dog owner understands this!
In honor of Saint Patty's Day
A total hoot!
*snort*
Obviously any time is a good time for a Snickers break!
Hope one of these made you smile. Have an awesome Tuesday!!!
Until next time!

Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired
Hey all,
It's been a tough week. I've been down with migraines most every day. Not sure what's going on, but I'm ready to toss in the towel and say, "I GIVE!!!"
For those of you who aren't prone to this illness, it's a special kind of hell. I've dealt with them my whole life, and I have to tell you, it REALLY gets old.
Mine--the doctors say--are a mixture of physical and stress related. And if I do something stupid, like eat the wrong thing or don't get the right amount of rest, I'm totall...

Looking Back, But Looking Forward
Hey all,
One of the hardest things about my work these days is the way publishers open and close their doors so quickly. Even the strong and well run independent publishers are having difficulties. Amazon is so bent taking over small publishing, its really hard for anyone else to make headway in the changing market.
I've had several publishers close on me, and while some desperately needed to close, a few of them were doing the right thing. Knowing that and having them close anyway makes this b...
