LOL

A huge whoppin' 70 cents coming from KDP thanks to one e-book sale.
Seriously...whoever bought a copy of 'Angelo, Texas'...thank you.

I'd like to think that if he/she likes it, he/she will consider 'A Good and Fair Trade' which is even better. :)

And on a totally unrelated topic, as I've been playing it a lot lately: Song of the Day:
'Bela Lugosi's Dead' - Bauhaus.

And the (Ramiel) beat still goes on...

As of May 4th: 107,250 words.
I am actually re-doing the last third of Ramiel's story; I don't like plot holes, and I found some, plus other little things that didn't seem right.
*sigh*
With that...I feel pretty good about what's going on with the book as a whole, and I am actually having fun!

I'm a busy bee. Finally.

102,700 words. And I haven't added the new Dashiel stuff yet. Still fine-tuning Ramiel's story. lol

Of course, the site and boards will make sense and be in some semblance of order if one is a Pinterest member.

Reading and reviewing.

As I've had a pretty active reader/reviewer profile on Goodreads since 2013 or thereabouts, I've decided to limit my reads on my author profile to books by other authors, particularly those who are or who have been members of the RWA, other Goodreads authors, history, and books - fiction, research - about angels, angel lore, etc.
With that, there has been and will be some of the same types of reads from the above listed on the reader/reviewer profile as well.

Asmodeus...

He is so much fun to write. So is Michael. The fact that they are on opposite sides - Hell and Heaven - they are both hot and totally batshit. lol

More writing of Angelo II...

Currently at 100,125 words, and that's after scrapping what little I wrote of Dashiel's story. I kept some stuff, but I didn't like the way it was going. Re-outlining. *sigh*
And I'm still tweaking Ramiel II...WTF? Why can't I just write?

Thanks, WoCIR!

The second book of my Angelo trilogy is now up on the site: A Good and Fair Trade. Yipee!

RWA Ballots.

I just voted for reps in my local chapter and nationals with the RWA. While I’ve seen no issues on the local level (I admit that I’ve yet to attend a meeting), the organization on the national level was a hot mess. I’m hoping that real change is on the horizon. We’ll see…

Due to the Coronavirus, I'm off of work for the week. So, I have no excuse in getting some writing done. We'll see about this as well. lol

Pinterest Board!

Just started a Pinterest board, which has a lot of inspirational quotes, representational images, and all things relating to my novels and short stories.
I've gotten about half of my collection of images up; will get the rest up tomorrow evening or over the weekend.
Here's a sample:
