Yes, it’ll be happening soon. 1-800-CallLoki is currently being set up as a hardcover. I’ll let you know when it’s available.

It … Continue reading Loki coming to hardcover

Covers

I spend the afternoon working on the final cover for Palladium as well as mockup covers for the trilogy I’m working on. And, I can tell it’s Wednesday. I haven’t gotten a whole lot of writing done today. What is it about Wednesdays? Well, now that I’ve come to really think about what day of … Continue reading Covers

Nearing the completion of book 2

I’m hoping this week to finish up with the second book in my super secret trilogy. Okay, so it’s not super secret, but yes, I am still keeping it under wraps for the moment. I figure I have 2-3 more chapters to write. Then I’m onto book 3. Even though I’ve had a couple of … Continue reading Nearing the completion of book 2

1,000th blog post

Cheers! This is my 1,000 blog post – if you haven’t already caught that clue (grin!). If someone had told me that I’d actually stick with writing a blog long enough to get to 1,000, I’m not sure I would have believed them. Yes, I’d love to write a 1,000 books. But blog posts? If … Continue reading 1,000th blog post

If only it were easy

I thought it would be easy to get back to writing today. Boy, was I wrong. I sat in front of my keyboard (usually with my phone in hand) doing everything but writing. When I did try to focus long enough to tap at the keys for a moment, I would get one or two … Continue reading If only it were easy

Christmas Show day 2

Finished the show today. So many kids (especially some of the vendors’ children) are pretty awesome. There was one parent (attending, not a vendor) I had during the show who walked up to my booth and told his son to look at the books. The kid swung his arms, slouched his shoulders forward, belly out, … Continue reading Christmas Show day 2

Christmas Show day 1

My booth is upstairs in the barn. Here’s a picture I took during one of the lulls in the show. I was so glad to have a few quiet moments. It allowed me to go around and chat with some of the other vendors, which is always fun for me. Thank you to all the … Continue reading Christmas Show day 1

Hwy 93 Indoor Christmas Vendor Show

A long time ago, my oven element broke and I couldn’t get a replacement. I was down to my toaster over. That certainly wasn’t going to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving, let alone a chicken. So, my boys and I decided to have Cornish Game Hens instead because I could (barely) fit three in there. … Continue reading Hwy 93 Indoor Christmas Vendor Show

In all things

I’m writing this the day before Thanksgiving, but since I won’t put out my next post until late tomorrow night, I wanted to wish all my U.S. readers a Happy Thanksgiving now. May you have a good day full of cheer. Okay, I wish that for everyone, whether you are in the U.S. or not. … Continue reading In all things

100 Days

***Trumpets blowing loudly*** Yes, that’s right. I have been blogging for 100 days in a row now. For me, that is a huge accomplishment. I am the type of person who once I set my mind to do something, I do it. However, consistency has never been my thing. I let myself get weak and … Continue reading 100 Days
