New Book
It's done, Tenth Stem is done! I'm pretty excited. I hope it does well, I'll just have to wait and see. I hope everybody loves it as much as I do. It was a very emotional writing experience for me. But, then, I'm an emotional person. Now if only I could get more beta readers...

Keep Keeping On
Sometimes the world may like to get us down. Don't let it. Use what has happened and turn it around. No matter how bad it is, there's a lesson or some way to help someone else.
I could choose to sit and wallow in self-pity, or I can say no, not today, not me. Sitting and wallowing in self-pity will get me nowhere. So, I pick up the pieces and move on. Maybe God will see fit to put one person in my life that can benefit from the tragedy that has befallen me. If I can help one person, just one, it is worth it.
Remember, there's always someone out there who cares. You just have to look up long enough to see.

The Voices...
It seems more and more I'm awakened by the voices of my characters wanting to get out of my head and onto paper.
There's Tansy who wants to jump onto the pages and find her retribution, and yet celebrate the wonderous world she has discovered.
Then there's Tracy, poor little Tracy who has taken a back seat to first Lok'Toria, and now to Tansy. She's wandering the ticket, seeking answers to questions that have yet to be asked.
And we mustn't forget the outgoing and playful Lok'Toria, waiting for her final story to be written.
The worlds combine to keep me jumping. Who's fate will fall upon the pages today?
Only time will tell.
