Update
Hello friends,
Well, things have just been going right along here lately. Staying busy running the business and keeping up with housework. Ahhh, the exciting life of a writer, right? LOL
Every week I look forward to hearing my daughter perform on Friday nights. It's a new thing, only a month old, but we're having trouble getting the word out. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how we can let the county know? We've sent out flyers, advertised in the local Christian magazine and I tell just about every single person that walks into the store as well as handing them flyers. I suggested they get on the radio and announce it. Our local Christian radio station will let any Pastor have 30 free minutes for announcements. That should help, plus we're getting in touch with Pastors and asking them to mention it to their congregation. I hope and pray it starts picking up. We're in direct competition with county rec ball season. That's pretty big around here and they have games every Friday night.
Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On another note: I'm so excited! I read Jennifer Murgia's book Lemniscate. It was awesome. I recommend it to everyone. When I got to the last page, she had written an acknowledgement and in it not only did she mention my good friends Lacey Williams and Tom Xander, but me as well! I couldn't believe it. She's such a special woman and I consider it an honor to call her friend. Thanks Jen!
I've been monitoring the progress of Her Sanctuary on goodreads and I had over 900 people who had put it on their "to read" list. Suddenly, and I do understand that people have read it and rated/reviewed it, but the numbers have gone down. It's at 894. What the heck is going on? I hope there's not someone out there encouraging people to take it off their list. I would be crushed if that were the case.
We can get those numbers back up if each of you would recommend it to all your friends. Please, I need as much help as I can get.
That's all the groveling I'm doing today. LOL
I'll be moving into a new house in a couple of months and it is my dream house. I've been kinda hesitant to tell people. It's nicer than any house I've ever lived in and I guess I just can't believe it's finally happening, after 30 years of struggle, failure and disappointment. Please be praying for us. Something could still happen to mess it up. You know, Murphy's Law? I'm very familiar with it. LOL
Well, I'll sign off for now.
God Bless you all!!

Update
Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't written lately. Very busy with everything. You know how it is.
I had the pleasure of hearing my beautiful daughter, Roxy sing last night at the "Friday Nite Live at the Old Dixie Cafe" and she was amazing! I was so proud. She is going to Nashville in a couple of months to record her first C.D. That's right, you heard me. She is recording a Christian C.D. (heart swells with pride)
Everything is finally happening for her and I think I'm more excited than she is, if that's possible. LOL
The venue was country gospel and though it's not really her favorite, she will sing anything if it means she can stand in front of an audience and perform. She was born for the stage.
Okay, okay, I know I'm gushing. I can't help it.
I've just been busy trying to drum up business for my store. It's coming along, slowly but surely. Haven't been writing much though. Reading seems to be all I can muster right now. Too many interruptions to be able to get "in the zone". You fellow authors out there know what I'm talking about.
Anyways, gotta run. Love you all and please, if you haven't read Her Sanctuary yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. You can buy it on ebook or Kindle or Nook for the low price of $6.00.
Take care! :)

Hello Everyone!
Jeeeez, I am about the sorriest blogger ever!
I can't believe how long it's been between posts!
I apologize. I have just been soooo busy; what with running a business and a household. I haven't had any time for writing and when I do have a spare minute, I usually end up falling asleep on the couch.
I am following "American Idol" though. I know, I know, but it's my guilty pleasure. ;)
I hope that 2011 is being very kind to you all and that it will prove to be a much better year than 2010.
Just remember that God is in control and he will not put on you more than you can handle....with his help.
I don't force religion down anyone's throat, but those are encouraging words to live by, don't you think?
Not much happening in my writing world. If you look at my profile, you'll notice that over 890 people have put Her Sanctuary on their TBR list and I've gotten 71 ratings and 41 reviews with a 3.99 average rating, which is almost 4 stars. That's pretty good, huh?
If you get a chance, please help me by recommending it to one of your friends, okay?
Gotta run for now. I'll be back with more updates later.
Love you all!

Help
Hey guys! I need your help. I'm sure that most of you have added a friend here and there. If you've read my book and liked it, how about telling one of your new friends about it. I'm trying to get more people to pick it up and give it a try.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
I've been extremely busy running the business and have been remiss in marketing and promoting so interest has waned somewhat. I'm hoping this will get things started again.
Thanks to all of you and I love you all! You're the best!! :)
Have a very Happy New Year!!!

OMG! Has it been that long since I posted an update? WOW! Time flies when you're "Busy as a one legged shit kicker"! LOL
I've just been working my butt off. Christmas is the craziest time of year for small shipping companies and I am not immune.
I haven't had time to write anything but am hoping when things chill a bit, I'll be able to pick up where I left off.
Thanks to all my friends and fans who are continuing to spread the word about me and my book. You guys are the best!
I wish everyone a joyous holiday and Merry Christmas to you all!!!
Love you!

Ramblings
Hey guys!
Man, have I been busy with this new business venture. I've been working very hard every day and therefore, my promoting and marketing for my book has really suffered.
Today was a day straight out of the bowels of Hell. I had my computer guy, the copier guy, the tech guy from UPS and my UPS rep on the phone or in front of me or messing up my computer all day! I swear to you, I've never seen a "Murphy's Law" day until today. Everything that could go wrong, did.
It was horrendous and all I want to do now is crawl into bed and pray it won't be like that tomorrow. I'm still having issues with my account but I have confidence it will get resolved before the end of the month.
Things are getting geared up as the holidays approach so my tech problems have got to be resolved quickly.
Haven't had much time to read or write, but I did manage to write a couple of paragraphs between customers yesterday.
Please, be praying that tomorrow will go off without a hitch.
Thanks guys and remember to tell your friends about Her Sanctuary. It would make someone a very cool Christmas gift. :)

WINNER
Hey friends and fans (who are also my friends),
My short story, "Rider's Bones" came in third place in the Book Freaks writing contest!
Even better, my daughter, Roxy Glisson's story, "Death Becomes Him" came in second!
I'm so very proud of her!
Don't have much time. Gotta get to the store. Roxy and I have been running it going on two weeks now and we are having a blast! Still have a few kinks to work out but it's amazing how much we've learned in such a short amount of time.
I'll try to keep you updated and when I have a spare minute I'll be working on "Fairy" for all you devoted fans.
Love to each of you!!

Hey friend and fans!
You have got to check out this book by a new author friend of mine, JoAnne Kenrick, "When a Mullo Love a Woman".
