You Need An App For That?

There's an app for everything these days.  But walking, seriously?  Call me old school, but I thought all you had to do was lace on, or in may case slip on, a pair of sneakers and put one foot in front of the other.

Until I tried the free versions of MapMyWalk for iphone.  I won't even go into all the bells and whistles because I'm not there yet.  Last year all that rebound weight gain stressed my knee (yes, only the one) and I had to stay off my feet for six wee...

Indie Authors: Premade eBook Covers only $29 (Cover 004 The Bride) #brides

004 BRIDE $29Last week I mentioned the Lifeguard as one of my favorite covers, topped only by this cover the Bride.  I could have sold her this week.  The author was just as enamored of her as I am.

But after an exchange of emails with the potential client, and changing the Bride's hair color to blonde, I realized we were both trying too hard to make this elegant creature fit into a romantic comedy.

Six months ago writing full time was little more than a dream.  So what's the reality now that I've had time to settle in to a routine?

Routine, what?

I'm in my chair most days before I'd even be leaving for work at my old job.  I'm still here most night right up until I go to bed.  I'm working on those boundaries, trust me.

It feels like...

Indie Authors: Premade eBook Covers only $29 (Cover 002 Bridal Steps) #runawaybride

002 BRIDAL STEPS $29
I love the timeless elegance of this image.   The angle of the pose adds a little intrigue that makes me wish I had a story to go along with it.
Is she waiting for someone, ready to run...
Or perhaps a marriage of convenience that will turn her world upside down or set it right.

New Book, New Look!

Meet my new virtual assistant, skinny me.  It's not that I don't appreciate mini me.  She'll still be around for Q&A with her quirky sense of humor and for some diet and exercise tips.  
We're planning on writing a weight loss book together.  First I have to lose the weight, again, and this time keep it off.
Speaking of which have you voted to send me to campreboot?  Competition is fierce.  I've fallen from #33 to #36 and there are only a few days left to vote....
