Already Off To A Good Start...

Can't believe my editor is already done with Knight Angels: Book of Revenge. And from the text, email and second email all containing the term "OMG!!!!!!!" I think it means she really likes it. It's always tricky when you're writing a book to know if it's still good after having read and re-read it a million times. So, hopefully once we get it into circulation this fall, you'll be able to tell me what your opinions are!

THE GREAT DIGITAL VS. PALPABLE GAMBLE...

The Setting...
BUNCO NIGHT(and lots of sangria)
The Debate...

The Split...
50/50
As a writer, I can't help but love a book... a palpable, paper filled, good smelling, one pound miracle with a raised color cover. BUT there are those out there that LOVE their new Kindles all the same. I see nothing wrong with loving either because each has a slew of valid arguements, of which I won't begin to list because by now, we all know what those are.
What I'm interested in is a vote!
I've seen what direction...

More International Interest - Turkey

On Friday I was made an offer to bring the Feather Book Series and Knight Angels Series to Turkey! I was very excited, and find the opportunity another unique advance in reaching the world with my stories! I haven't yet signed any contracts, but plan to. The publisher is Artemis:

They have a lot of great titles, a beautiful site, and the chief editor is very nice!
Just another exciting opportunity!!

Knight Angels II Book Cover

A Few Changes
I changed just a few things as I always do when I get close to publishing the book. I added interest to the cover with butterflies and blood. Who doesn't like the combo?? There's a deadly innocence about it, and that's exactly what this book is going for.
The back cover reflects that as well, but I'm keeping that as a surprise!

Knight Angels: Book Two - PREVIEW!

- BOOK OF REVENGE -

Prologue: 1942



"Max, I'd love a rose."

Avery's voice was distant. I turned to her, wondering what it was she'd said. "Hmm?"

She sighed, her brows pressed together with annoyance. "I said: I'd like a rose."

I snapped out of my trance. The sensation of her arm hooked with mine flooded back to me, sending a tingle of warmth over my skin. The wind blew, tickling the white fur on her lapel. Her frosty blue eyes shimmered in the moonlight, so full of lig...

Vegetables As Creative As Me!

One of the best parts about having your own garden is the way the vegetables turn out! I got a curly bean yesterday, and a carrot with legs! We ate them, of course, horrific as it seems. I had to fight my husband for the curly bean off his plate...
it was good.
Off to a wedding this weekend. Back to Bremerton and yet another horrifying ferry experience (not a big fan of cars over water). My best friend is pregnant, so I get to go visit her, too. The best part about that is that it keeps me...

Hitting The Green...

So. I've been working really hard to learn how to golf for a while now. My wonderful husband tries his best to teach me, but needless to say it's difficult - I'm stubborn.
He video tapes my swing then tells me what to change. I have no clue whether it's a good or bad swing, or what a good or bad swing even looks like. All I know is that on the golf simulator at the golf shop, I supposedly hit 80mph, and that's 15mph more than most women...
weird.
Told my friend that, and being that we're both G...

Throwing Magick Around Manhattan...

I went to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice last night, and I loved it. Really, I liked that Nicolas Cage, as much as I love the man, didn't have a 'too' major role (as in, wasn't the main character). I loved the main character, Jay Baruchel. I loved him in Out of My League, and I loved him here. He makes a good nerd, and for some strange reason, I actually think he's cute!! It was classic Disney all the way with the mop scene and all, but they did it well.
Definitely recommend you go see it!

Dreaming in Color... Why I Won't See a 3D Movie & Why You Should Go See Inception.

On Friday I went and saw the movie Inception and loved it, just didn't love the seats at the theatre - Bum Breaker!
I think about dreams a lot, and I myself dream almost every night. I dream in color, but I've come to understand that not everyone does. I always remember my dreams because of a certain color, like last night it was red for blood. My cat is dying from Kidney failure, and sad as it is, that's what I dreamt about.In Inception, a person is loaded into their dream world where to...

So Excited! I'm Done... Well... Sortof...

I'm elated...

...Because yesterday I finished Knight Angels: Book of Revenge! This is the second book, and I've been working on it for what feels like forever! I got so distracted with the fun of Knight Angels: Book of Love that I fear I let myself slow down - not good!
Writing is tricky in that it's the one thing you want to do, but the one thing that's super easy to be distracted away from. Take Ste-eve here (above), he was one of my distractions. Being published in Brazil was another. Then t...
