ONE HELL OF A RIDE by Seanan McGuire
JONATHAN HEALY AND FRANCES BROWN(circa 1928-???)

With the last of the blood mopped up and the locals none the wiser, it seems he's just a train ride away from getting his wish.
Of course, there are a few small complications. Like the lovely and occasionally violent Miss Frances Brown, former star...

Zombie Dreams & Mind Clutter
Today, I woke up with the very vivid and graphic images of a zombie dream still inside my head. Or are those classified as nightmares? lol. Either way, I can still see everything that happened. It was pretty horrific, spooky, and downright creepy. I should write it all down, because this is definitely something I would like to turn into a story.Then, hubby showed me the latest Avengers trailer. OMG. It's amazing! I can't wait to see this movie. It's gonna be... explosive. So cool.
Well, I...

Another week, another month
Yep. That's right. Today is the last day of February. Although I've gotten some stuff done, this month wasn't as productive as January. Oh well.
I did get the second edit of A PATCH OF DARKNESS done, and emailed back to my editor last Friday. So I got to enjoy the weekend. It was also great to have hubby home on Monday, though it was sad to see him go back to work yesterday. :(
Oh, and speaking of APoD... it's now listed on Goodreads. Cool, huh? I love that cover a little more every time I...

Her debut leap into adult fiction lands her in the small community of Claysville, a town where the dead walk free unless their graves are not properly tended. Into this eerie maelstrom, Rebekkah Barrow descends as she returns to a place that she once believed she knew. I really enjoyed this book! I liked how it started with the mystery of what happened to Maylene, then introduced Rebekkah and Byron... before I got thrown into the weird and bizarre world of Claysville and the land of the...

Hello, remember me?
LOL.I can't believe I've been MIA all week. But I had no choice, I've been super busy working on the second edit for A PATCH OF DARKNESS.
I'm having a great time with it. And although I did reach the end this morning, I still have a few things to do before I can email it back to my editor. Firstly, I'll go through all the changes and comments I've made, then I'll address a few notes I jotted down while I was editing.
It's very exciting! I can't wait to have this done and sent back, because it m...
