The Vampire Diaries ...
I just had to share this news because I am sooooo EXCITED!!!
After looking into the rules of writing FanFic through The Vampire Diaries...I knew it was something that I had to try. Know the plot, where the story lies in Mystic Falls and who the key characters are is amazing. Getting to bring in new characters/beings into the already suspense filled small town is something that snagged my thoughts without a doubt in getting involved.
Susan McGee, a young girl from Mystic Falls who is very much a loner and a person who has a love a taking photos of old headstones, bumps into a tall stranger who she at the time...does not know will be using her to find a certain werewolf that made Mystic Falls their home. Question is...does this strange mean harm or is his there to warm the one he is looking for?

I am sooooo proud to say that all issues have been taken care of and AOTP has a brand new cover and publisher...ME!!!!
I would like to say that I am so very sorry that MY book went out the way it did a few months back...but I can also say that after some hard work NOW being an (Independent Author) it is looking good with no format or other issues.

Just Catching Up~
Hi all...This has already been one hell of a long week..LOL
I came up to Alamogoro to help my hubby move some rooms around so that my mother in law could have a more comfortable room to do her bills in. She has wanted the office movied to one of the back bedrooms since pop passed away, so that was our chore today. The furniture is so heavy that my back will be bitching me out for at least a week..LOL BUT...Momma finally has her new room all set up the way she wants it and can relax and be happy. Poor hubby has a hard time getting all the things done in this big....can't say old...just really big home. It's right at 4000 square feet, all spread out with enormous rooms from the game room to the master bedroom. So very glad to have been able to help and give momma a room that is more lady like and not a man's office...and a place she can sit in peace and do a little paper work.
There will be more to do tomorrow...we now have to make room in the garage for the huge desk that we removed from the house today. It was pop's desk and he loved it so we are going to keep it. I think we are all hoping that one of hubby's brothers will need and want it so we don't have to move all of the many things around to find a home for it..LOL Momma found her an antique desk and it just fits much better to her liking, in her newly decorated room.
After we did all of that, which was after I cooked a good breakfast...I then hopped in the kitchen and made her a full meal deal supper that she ate with a smile. Anything that we can fix that she will enjoy, I would gladly fix until my finger bled and my back actually broke. The chemo treatments are wearing her down and we would all do anything to make sure she has a healthy home cooked meal as often as she wants it....and whatever she wants! i wish I could tell all of you that she is doing great and the treatments are doing their job...but I'm afraid her body is just to weak to handle those harsh treatments and it shows. She has lost down to 111 and has been having horrid headaches, along with TIA's that are coming to often and has us all a bit worried.
I will be heading home on Wednesday to take care of things around there...and do whatever my mom needs me to do so they can take a little trip to Texas. I truly do not see myself being in one place very long, but I do crave planting my feet and saying I am home to stay..LOL I will keep making this four hour trip, one way, for as long as I am needed. My work and all else will be here when I get to that place where all is at peace for a time.
Hubby was grateful to have my help and I could see it in his face. He is so tired he has lost almost 25 pounds, but it's not hurting anything, being he needed to lose a few pounds anyway. ; ) However, I can't help but to worry about him and all he has been through. Lost his dad to cancer 6 months ago and now has to deal with the thought of possibly losing his mother to the same horrid thing. My heart goes out to him and his brothers...they have been through it and have a long way to go!!! I will be here doing all that I am able for as long as they need me....then I better get a few steaks on the grill and at least one or two back rubs..LOL From hubby that is..LMAO Better set that straight. ; p
Well, that's about it...other than i have a load to write, edit and create...I do plan on taking the time to do nothing but write when my folks head out of town when I get back home. I am so over-loaded right now and will be happy to get caught back up. I have two new novels to start and at least two of the seven I have in the making to complete. My editor is busting it and will be sending me one book after the other to get done and sent back to her. Gonna be a very long few months...then I am going to take a vacation and go to Texas myself where I go to write in my Bloodbreeders series, and I am going to write book 5. Sounds like pure joy to me..LOL
Have a great week all...Big Hugs~

Happy New Year and a lot of Jabbering..LOL
Hi all and are you ready for the New Year? Me...I don't even care to think about it. I don't make promises I know always seem to fall in on them selves. I'm gonna do this or I'm gonna do that, when in the long run I do just what I say I am not or don't do what I say I'm going to work so hard to do. However, I do see how the New Year pushes people to put the gears into over-drive on all the things they have been slacking on the prior year. One can only do what one puts their minds to at any given time. BUT...if that burst helps, then by all means. ; ) I personally had my mind made up what my future goals were months before this coming 'very soon' 2013...My files are full of work that needs to be as sharp as I can possibly get them, and believe me, that is going to take some busting ass. The one thing I should have started doing months ago was dig deeper into the world of readers and peeps who like the genres that I work in the most. Find like minded people who want to share, spread and create more lines and links for that very said work to be found, or at the very least, read about. But, my husband's family has been dealing with a great deal of illness and death, so all was put on hold and for good cause. Even with my hubby having to be gone so far away, taking care of his mother who now has cancer and going through treatment, he is always looking into things that we might be able to do around his home town and surrounding area. 'Makes my heart overflow'... I do have a signing gig up in Ruiodoso New Nexico after things calm down after the first and then will be doing some talking for a spring gig down in Texas where my Bloodbreeders came to life......so what will I be doing? LOL As for me and what my so called resolutions are for 2013....Not one single thing! I have enough on my plate to add even one more thing..LOL When the ball drops, I will be sitting here in my cave with my critters texting my hubby a kiss...then either back to posting Happy New Year on my sites to my peeps or watching one of my favorite horror movies, curled up under the electric blanket with my critters. I will go ahead and say: Best Wishes and Happy New Year Those two of us that come in here to read this blog of mine, know it could be a day or two before I make it back..LMAO
Many Blessing and Have a Safe and Happy New Year~
Dark Fantasy, Paranormal Vampire, Intrigue/Suspense....Looks like one of those lovey, dovey romance reads from the covers, so I have been told...but I give you my word...It is not!!!
Bloodbreeders Living in Darkness (Book 1)
Bloodbreeders The Revenge (Book 2)
Bloodbreeders Seeking Others (Book 3) Coming Early 2013...for those who have been so very kind to wait and ask through emails, this book should be out no later than March. I know I said late January, but one never really knows with so much going on. And we all know how easy it is for something we have no control over to pop up. BUT...It will and is going through the ropes of getting to the press. ; )

Why I Dig It~ 10
Well, this may be my last why I dig it because I may just start posting really stupid shit...I know, what was my last ten post if not stupid shit, right..LOL Maybe we just have to do what we want to do no matter what the end results look like, no matter who...or if no one is looking. I say if we enjoy what we're doing with our free time then to hell with what the rest of the world thinks! I for one am tired of worrying what others think...I am too old, been there and done that and am now going to start doing things my way. Life should not be more difficult than that.
If you make it to the age that I am, raised your babies, have grandchildren, worked your fingers to the bone and given your all to others...then what you do with the rest of your life and how you do it should be up to no one but yourself. My thing is I love to write. I love to create different places, people, plots and everything that goes in between. Just a few years ago I didn't care if anyone else out there read any of my creations, but now that I know in my heart that this is my true calling, all that I want to do is share it all.
In this day and age writers can carry their dreams out on a river of avenues. Any person with a little smarts can open a company or simply self-publish. Others take the longer road and send their work into already established sites. I say if you have that dream and you love what you do it doesn't matter how you get there...just get there. The world doesn't have to love your work, 10k doesn't have to have faith and follow your dream. We as writers are the only ones who can bring our dreams to the light, whether that light be on a publisher's desk...or in the future of our own hands. I would think the same would go with any other dream that people would have as well...as long as it gets done, right. ; )
Thank goodness there is so much help out there and all one needs to do is reach out and grab it. Had I not had a wonderful editor, I would have been burning crotches and rubbing genitals lovingly over arms. My typos are some of the best. But with a little help even I am getting better with my skill...a little! (Please forgive typos in all post...no editor, just me..LMAO)
My mind has gotten so bad I couldn't even set here and name off the titles of the books and short stories that I've completed, not without opening all of my files..LOL That's the hardfast truth. The book that I'm going over right now before I send it in to my editor, I wrote a few years ago, and I'm having a hard time remembering the tale. ; ) I guess I went so hard in such a short time that everything I have written got all mixed up in the old brain pan..LOL I really need to slow down on creating, and break down on getting all my past work to perfection. Then and only then should I jump back into going mad with my short stories and starting new novels....which if the truth be told, I have about 5/7 in the making, none too far. ; )
Well, that's about it on why I dig today and my final dig it post. Who knows what my next post will bring. I have to do something to keep myself from being bored to death...and don't even ask why people keep telling me I need this silly thing??? But, since I have had it up for so long I reckon I'll keep, keeping myself company and in a year or so come back and laugh at all my typos and the stupid shit I posted..LOL
Have a rockin' Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year....That is if what the Mayan's say doesn't come true, and if so, I guess we all better start bending over and kissing our backsides goodbye. ; ) See ya on the flip side~
HAPPY HOLIDAY'S TO ALL~

Why I Dig It ~ 9
Now I really dig today's blog because I get to share an author friend's book that is also FREE on Amazon until the 18th. Savannah Rayne's 'Oh, Deer' is on the market for free for this first time since its release... so ya better snag it while you have a chance!!! Just click on the book cover and it will take you there. : )
Jacob Ellis and his wife Donna live in the north woods of Wisconsin. Like most young couples, they have hobbies they enjoy. Jacob likes the outdoors, choosing four-wheeling and hunting as his forms of relaxation. Donna loves cooking, but her true passion is working in her flower garden. That is until her labor of love becomes nothing more than a colorful, tasty treat for the white-tailed deer, who share their surroundings. One night the pair experience more than the typical four legged visitor to their yard. The evening sets the path for Jacob’s decision to go against nature. After hearing a legend passed down through generations of the Chippewa Indian’s, Jacob must now decide if it’s just a myth or a lesson in the balance of law and justice— between people and nature.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS 'DEERIE'

So pay no mind to the seasons in this post and that is why I dig it...because it doesn't make any sense what so ever!!! ; p
Just an odd little mix of some of my favs...only because I need a nap and didn't really feel like doing too much to my blog today..LOL The one thing a person can do without a doubt on their own blog is....Be Honest!!! ; )
Happy Holidays... Yes, Yes...Happy Holidays!!!

Why I Dig It~ 6
I guess I should make todays post as the 'I can skip a few days of posting if I feel like it!' LOL Honestly, I just don't have the time to create a blog on a daily bases. Yes, a great deal of the time I am just being lazy but the rest of my time, I am either on the road or playing with my beautiful grand-babies.
I have an enormous amount of work to do. I'm editing book three in my Bloodbreeders' series which is much longer than the first two at about 370 pages. Book four is all but complete due to the fact that I never finish a book in my series unless I am ready to start the next book??? Just a fruit-loop I guess..LOL However, in my BB series every book is like turning the next page since the first 5 books is just one long tale, told by the main character: Renee (Crocker) Lebrun. Though, all of my characters have a POV when the time comes. I want my readers to see the whole store as if they were in the mix of things, so to speak and not just waiting to see what is going to happen when the main peeps are in the picture.
I am also working on the sequels to several of my short miniseries, all horror based and with an erotic flavor. One will find me at all times writing some sort of horror short even while I am working on one of my novels. They just seem to relax me??? I have a new script in the making and more than a few books to read for others.
At least once a week my grands stay the night and as long as they can the next day and my laptop is never opened when they are here. I live and take care of my elderly mom, while driving twice a month, four hours to go visit my hubby who is taking care of his ill mother...where he has been for six months.
So you see why I do not have time to create a post every day of the week..LOL And this is why I dig today's post. Who cares if I have a new read up everyday...Would you guys really want me to have that boring of a life that I had nothing to do but sit here and blog about something you've more than likely read on another blog. ; ) *Snicker* I sure hope not!
Hope you all have something more to do than just read blogs all day....and are enjoying life as much as I am....And believe it or not...I am a very reclusive person. ; ) It's how we fill our days that matter, not how much we can shove in it!
Happy Holidays Babies~
