Starting Over
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday Blog Share. Today, we’re talking about starting over for military women who opt out of the service to raise their children.
One of the hardest things I ever did was decide to end my military career after being offered a stupendous assignment. But there was a price attached to this assignment that I wasn’t willing to pay—being gone from my very young children nine months out of the year. Even though I would have achieved the prestige my long years of service had given me, even though I would have been in a job I loved, my children had to come first. Every day, many women service members are faced with this same conundrum. Some have no choice but to take those long separations, others are lucky enough to be at the point in their enlistment where they can say no.

Riona’s life of self-doubt stranded her in an abusive marriage with four small children to raise. Her children and a successful career in the Air Force made her life bearable. She needed out—and Fate handed her a way.
Once, when she was younger, there was a man she thought good until he stood her up. She had no way of knowing that he had endured a bad marriage and a bitter divorce, leaving a teenaged daughter in the middle. He had never forgotten Riona.
Both their hearts were hurting. Fate would help them heal.
Excerpt
Riona hurried to finish dressing. Unable to handle the cold weather since the birth of her son, she wore a pair of cream wool dress slacks with a black sweater. The baby, Ricky, lay on the bed, ready for her to place him in the car seat she would have to carry down the stairs and hook up in the back of their mini-van. If she was very lucky, Hank might carry out the food, but only after she packed it into boxes.
“I wish we were staying home today, instead of going to the church supper.” Riona immediately felt shame for her less than Christian thoughts.
Raised Catholic in a family deeply embedded in their Irish roots, she had loved the holiday celebrations, until she married Hank Sanders and was forced to ignore her upbringing, his continual putdowns of everyone raised Catholic, and endure what she knew was very slanted Biblical teachings.

Don't Fool Yourself
Good morning. Welcome to Monday Blogs. Today we’re going to be concentrating on the editing process for your book. There are several ways to accomplish this, but many new authors don’t realize how important their participation is in the process.
First of all, congratulations on writing a book. You have now joined the ranks of millions of others looking for a home for that book. But you’re not quite ready to take that step yet.
Far too many authors think that finishing the book means they’re ready to look for a publisher. Yet, they haven’t taken the time to let their manuscript rest and then go back to it, looking it over with an editor’s eye, or hiring an editor to clean up their work but they’re unwilling to assist with the process.
You, the author, are responsible for every facet of your book. If you hire an editor, you must work with this person to fix your book. This requires as much or more time than it took to write it, especially on a first book. You may reach a point where you self-edit as you write, but you still need to do a thorough edit of your work before you submit. Otherwise, you will receive the dreaded “Thank you, but this book doesn’t meet our needs.” letter from the publishers you submit to.
Why is it so important to ensure your book is thoroughly edited? When you submit a manuscript to a publisher, you are applying for a job with this company. So, ask yourself, as you’re preparing to submit your unedited book if you would show up for an interview needing a shower, in casual clothes, looking scruffy and expect to be hired for the job. Your answer to that would be a resounding no.
Therefore, since you are applying to join this publishing house with your book, isn’t it as important to ensure the first impression you make is with a professionally edited, clean manuscript that shows you’re willing to put your best foot forward?

Women Serving Their Country
Welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Today, we’ll be talking about At Home Christmas. This novella incorporates an experience I had while in the Air Force, one that left me with the sensation that finding a good man and keeping him would be a near impossible task. It’s about discovering a man who is funny and sweet; someone you know in an instant is Mr. Right, only to lose him in a matter of hours, but not to another woman.
At Home Christmas
Military romance is a relatively new genre in terms of popularity. Strong women with a leading role who are in service to their country is even newer. The glass walls of women in the military, in serious and important jobs, were shattered back in the late seventies. Those of us who served during that time endured many, many slights against our decision to take a non-traditional job and had to prove that we were capable of those jobs on a daily basis. Losing a person we had come to care for a lot meant we couldn’t discuss that loss. We had to “suck it up” and get the job done. Our feelings could never be allowed to show.
Blurb
Christmas with the family. An ideal, sweet homecoming... Or the torturous reminder that family can be your worst enemy.
Cat Helmstead suffers a grievous loss while on temporary duty in Spain with the Air Force. Her heart shatters and she sinks into a grief so profound that she’s ready to join the man she loved so much. Until she’s sent home, to spend the holidays with her family and makes several important discoveries that will change her future forever.
Can Cat move on from losing the only guy she's ever been attracted to?
Excerpt
The NCO club was rocking with great tunes on the jukebox. I sat in a corner, nursing a San Miguel beer, watching others doing their thing. It was bingo night. Just about everyone was playing intently in the cover-all round, hoping to win the five hundred dollar prize. For some, that amount of money equaled more than they had in their pocket at any given time.
“Hi.”
The voice was male and I wasn’t interested. Men were my thing, as the saying went, but at this point in my life, I was still nursing wounds best left alone. I’d joined the Air Force five years ago as a way to escape a home that had become too tense to live in any longer. The oldest of six, I’d never heard “Great job” or “You’ll be a success one day.” No matter what I did, nothing was acknowledged until my seventeen months, twenty-eight days younger sister, Tina, had accomplished the same feat, and that was boasted about long and loud by our mother if she happened to do better than I had done.

Let It Go
Welcome to wwwblogs. Today, we’re talking about the time to stop writing and admit your book is done. Yes, we’re going to the stick a fork in it and call it done discussion, because far too many first time authors have no idea on when that happens.
All authors are loath to stop writing their book. They’re always questioning characterization, is there enough narrative to support the dialogue, have they info dumped when it wasn’t necessary, and mostly have they given the reader a satisfactory ending.
Yes, even I suffer this syndrome and I will soon release my eighty-fourth book. See, that’s my cure for thinking there is more to the story. I finish book and while waiting on my editor, or because I have some free time, I start on a new book or the next story in a series. But that wasn’t always the case. My first book, Softly Say Goodbye, had me going over and over the edits, muttering about things not being right, bugging my editor about should we add this and that. She assured me I had a fabulous book and to stop worrying, or better yet, get to work on the next one. That was the best advice I ever received.
Over the years, I have evolved my desire to dive right into my next book and am now dividing that time between developing a new story and improving my promotional techniques in addition to seeking out new places to place my books, so I can find new readers. To say that to me, writing is a full time job is a major understatement.
That is what you, the new author, must learn. You have completed your first book. It’s in the hands of a very capable editor. Now is the time to develop your promotional strategy, to start a new book, and search for events where you will shine, because you believe you are an author and therefore, so must everyone else.

The past changed the future … . . . the future must salvage the past.
Triplets DJ, Matt, and Elisa are as diverse in looks as they are in Talents. Travelers with abilities that astound the adults in charge of them, they have nothing more urgent on their minds than a spring trip to Peru.
Mysterious voices, Rogues bent on destruction, and typical sibling rivalry pull these teen apart at a time when they need to work together. Tragedy further lengthens that divide. Can they overcome their problems and become a team? Is the Traveling world doomed because they can’t cooperate?
Excerpt
He stood on the banks of the Coosawhatchie River. The man of many years stared across the small waves causing a rowboat at a pier to bob up and down. The boat seemed to represent his life, from the day he arrived, throughout his own education where he felt as if Travelers made up the rules as they went along, and into his own years actively traveling through time.
He had been graced with the name of Dennis James Sullivan. Dennis for his father, the greatest fire chief in San Francisco’s history, and James for his mother’s brother, a banker in the Midwest.
Both had contributed to his youth, but James, as he was called, learned more from the father he’d planned to emulate, until fate in the form of a Gateway changed everything seconds before the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906.
James believed that he had conquered the turmoil he felt at abandoning his mother. His duty had been to change Traveling, according to the woman who had approached him as he mourned for his father. He was always one to obey duty. His life had certainly been filled with excitement in the early years, but then he gave up his jaunts through history to raise his family and teach future Travelers.

Ode to NaNoWriMo
Good day and welcome to Monday Blogs. Today, I’m going to be talking about National Novel Writing Month, specifically NaNoWriMo, and why I no longer officially participate.
For many years, I looked forward to November and pushing myself to finish a novel of at least 50,000 words in thirty days. It was a test of my ability to get my story down in a very rough draft and complete within a certain time frame. Every year of my official participation, I may have worked through the dark nights, have tossed cans at my husband and son, telling them to “make their own meals,” and literally pulled out my hair, but I finished and received a winner’s certificate every single time.
That’s not to say that my work was publication read. On the contrary, this was just a beginning, where I had a lot to do to prepare my work for submission to a publisher. Of course, I diligently went over those books, rewriting, editing, proofreading, and then offering them up to my critique groups, in order to have them find the things I couldn’t. After all that, it was back to the rewriting, editing, and proofreading followed by another round with the critique group. Yes, I’m OCD when it comes to my work.
Along comes 2013 and I’m once again doing NaNo. As always, I prepare by doing as much research as I can, to limit how much time I have to take away from writing in order to get the job done. Once again, I finished my novel and after downloading the winner’s certificate, I decided to look over the stats, to see who wrote the longest book.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that two people had created their NaNo accounts that day and had uploaded and had approved novels of over a million words.
Okay, maybe that could be done, was my first thought. Until I did the math and discovered that they would have had to write over 33,000 words a day in order to achieve this monumental feat.
Well, maybe they could do it. More than 33,000 words a day seems like a lot. So, I broke it down, letting my analytical mind see the evidence this couldn’t happen, and I wasn’t disappointed to find my theory was right.
In order for someone to achieve more than 33,000 words per day, they would have to write about 1400 words per hour, for all twenty-four hours in the day. This means the individuals would have had to give up on sleep, eating, bathroom breaks… uh, they would have to be automatons in order to achieve this feat. I wasn’t the only person crying foul, but their work was approved through the check and therefore, they took the top spots.
From that moment on, my November marathon is against myself, in the privacy of my office. I am so disappointed with the obvious cheating that I will never again participate in the official NaNo competition.

Blurb
The adventure begins on an impossibly ordinary day. BD Bradford, intrepid head of Canoples Investigations, has nothing more than fun on his mind. Too bad for him and his crew, Canoples Station has a way of never staying calm for long. Soon, however he and his compatriots—Carl and Cassie Wills, Terry Ashley and occasionally Mick Anglin and Jack Simpson deal with all sorts adventures.
Whether it be tracking down space pirates, tangling with demented cloned animals, setting the record straight about their intentions, unmasking a man stealing children to perform in a circus, or discovering new friends, Canoples Investigations always dives into action without thinking about the consequences.
Life in the galaxy is anything but boring. And all BD wants to do is sit down and wolf down a Gut Buster pizza with his pals.
Excerpt
The bell pings eight times in succession. I am away from my learning center and out the door in an instant. Today, my dad promised to take me with him on a very important mission. We’re going to hunt for space pirates. Now that I’m eleven, he says I’m ready for some real adventures.
“Yo, BD!” Carl Wills, one of my best buds, yells. “Wait up. Where are you going?”
I stop and bounce from foot to foot. Dad made me promise that I wouldn’t breathe a word to anyone about our mission today. Still, I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean Carl, his twin, Cassie, and Terry Ashley. The four of us have always done stuff together. We’re the well known No Sock Brigade, always sticking our noses into situations no one wants us to know about, and we never wear socks. It’s kind of a trademark thing. We’re going to be galaxy-famous private space investigators when we’re older and anyone who is famous needs a trademark. Right?

Societal Trends
Welcome to wwwblogs. Today, we’re going to be discussing the effect of societal trends on the author. How those trends affect what we’re writing about and how we appear to our public.
Societal trends are those things that society is emulating, talking about, or showing their anger over. They are issues that we as authors can’t ignore but we also can’t publicly comment on them.
“Hey, hold on,” you cry. “What do you mean we can’t comment on them? This is important to me too!”
Yes, I’m sure you think commenting on these issues. Everyone has an opinion and we do like to flaunt them on social media. But for the author, that can be a tragedy in the making. As was learned during the last Presidential election, we have fans on all sides of an election and standing for one candidate over another vocally can lose you readers. Some may eventually come back, but the reality is that our fans create an image in their heads about what our beliefs are. We love our fans. We don’t want to lose our fans. Therefore, we must remain quiet on hot topics so that they don’t have their dreams crushed.
However, when it comes to writing about societal trends, the author is now working with fiction. Fans will forgive us a book that supports the underdog. Isn’t that what it’s all about, the underdog winning over someone for an issue people can relate to? It’s in how we present our ideas that will keep our book being read while our fans can nod knowingly and think that we’re exactly how they thought we were.
So, when it comes to societal trends, include them in your newest book, if that works. But don’t include them in your public postings.

Keeping Promises
Welcome to Tuesday Blog Share. All month long and through December, we’re focusing on books that have a holiday of spirit as part of the Holiday of Books promotion.
Today, we’re going to be talking about keeping promises, despite being separated across an ocean. Military families often suffer from the unknown. Is their spouse or parent safe in a war zone? When will they return home? Will they be different, changed? Even the military member wonders if a family reunited will be able to accept the differences in their parent or spouse.
Blurb
Tested by the winds of war...
Determined to keep a promise...
This couple holds on even when all seems lost...
A promise leaves them wondering about the future.
Summer Solstice of 1968 brings major changes for Laura and Mark. Each worries about his returning to Vietnam, even though he’s due to finish his enlistment in the Marine Corps in a little over a year. In a moment of madness, their decision to give in to their heated emotions leaves both determined to do the right thing.
Laura and Mark marry right before he returns to the war, each pledging to stand on a beach on the next Summer Solstice and dance in the moonlight. A year later, mere moments after they connect on separate beaches and keep their promise, their lives change drastically. A firefight ends badly and Mark is captured. Laura now has to raise their daughter alone, without any reassurance she’ll see her husband again.
Will each maintain their faith and be reunited under a Summer Solstice moon?
Excerpt
The moon hung low over the Hawaiian beach. We were listening to the surf and dancing to music, relaxing and trying not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow was when our guys would return to the war in Vietnam. Right now, in this moment, we were experiencing a beautiful forever.
Waves lapped up against the white sand, a quiet beat underscoring the music. Mark and I were slow dancing in each other’s arms, gripping each other tightly, ignoring what the near future held. I refused to believe that he had to go away for another year. For me, only tonight, the Summer Solstice, existed to remind me of the relationship we’d had for so long and how I wished it would last forever.

Interacting on Social Media
Social media, while important for the author, has its pitfalls. We’ve all encountered them at one time or another. Usually, it’s being relegated to Facebook or Twitter jail, or even having our accounts suspended for a period of time. Some of us give up and walk away once that happens, thinking it’s just too hard to keep up with the ever changing rules. At other times, a new problem will have us pulling out our hair and wondering what exactly we did to upset some person so much.
Social media has given millions the opportunity to interact without having to see someone in person. We have friends in every country around the world and can’t wait to start, boost, or end our day checking out what they’re doing and saying. It has become so normal that many people have no idea how to handle meeting a person face-to-face any longer. There’s a certain safety net we have on our social media pages, where we’re not in danger of running across bullies who make us feel less than capable to attack our daily issues.
Unfortunately, social media has become the perfect breeding ground for the cyber-bully. They lurk on our feeds, seeking posts they will hijack and rant on about how stupid you are, and how you should fall of the planet. Or they’ll jump into a diatribe about the latest subject of discussion, be it about gun control or politics, and give you the feeling that only this person is allowed an opinion and only their opinion counts for anything.
Of course, your first gut reaction will be to tell this person off and how wrong they are. That would also be your first mistake.
Social media bullies are people who live to attack from behind the safety of their computer or phone. They lurk and stalk their prey with practiced ease. Once they sense the person is in a vulnerable position, they leap in for the attack, fully expecting you to respond and give them more ammunition for another attack.
Fact: there is no calming this beast once it has been unleashed, except one thing. DO NOT RESPOND. Don’t click on the angry emoticon Facebook has so nicely supplied for us. Don’t respond on a tweet. In no way should you be involved with this person at all. Even reporting them to the proper social media isn’t going to help you. This only further empowers the bully. And if you block them, thinking you’re safe, you may soon have reports from your friends about new attack, possibly even screen shots of what the individual is saying from the safety of their own page, knowing you can’t retaliate. And they love you for taking that step to block them. They are now free to attack you without being shut down.
Bullies have always existed. Even in today’s politically correct climate that we shouldn’t bully people, they will exist—in fact, they will be stronger, far more ready to attack than if they had to come face to face with you.
