New Layout - Need Opinion!
Hey guys, I messed with my layout a bit and went from a triple column to a double. What do you think? Should I switch back? Should I try something different? Is this easier or harder to read? Let me know what you think I need or would look better!
I appreciate the help a ton!
This was me and hubs a couple years ago. I think I was preggo with #4 at the time. Hugs

This Friday! Because There Is Hope Event
I'm fortunate enough to be a member of the IECRWA chapter of the Romance Writers of America.
This weekend they are sponsoring a table at the Because There is Hope event in the Authors' corner for members to sell books and do signings.
I'll be there Friday from 9 until 2 pm with copies of Into the End and swag as well as books by Rebecca Zanetti. When I find out what other authors from the group will be there, I will OF COURSE post them.
I hope to see you there, if you're in the vicinity. It'...

What is Your Fear?
Rachel Parker in Into the End can IDENTIFY fear, she can DEFINE it, but she doesn't feel it. Not anymore. Not since the tests.
Her inability to feel fear may be the reason why the rest of America is screaming in terror.
Into the End is not a paranormal story. It's set in science and psychology and the need to be prepared.
What are you afraid of and how do you define fear?
Also, go here for a link to my special Anti-Chili recipe - you can make it with food storage items or fresh. Either way, i...

I'm Disturbed At the Reasons People are Visiting My Blog
I went to my statcounter.com as well as the stats button on Google and discovered what sites are referring my blog. Um. Porn sites. Seriously? I don't do anything that has any relation to those kind of sites and I don't support them.
Not sure what is being found on my blog or site that would lend itself to that ideal, but okay. Here's the thing. The "worst" my stuff will get - including my books - is mild language. I have some gore - it's true because I write thrillers and romance - but for t...

Into the End - A Thriller
So I said I had news and here is some of it!
My apocolyptic thriller is out (print will follow in the next week or two)!
Into the End is the first in a three book series that kept me on the edge of my seat while I wrote it. I gasped in parts and cried in others, all the while shaking my fist and pumping the air when the characters succeeded or did something that enraged me.
I've had it compared to "One Second After" and told it's like "The Day After Tomorrow" with a splash of terrorism. Both m...

Does An Author Changing Genres Make or Break You?
Most authors are readers, or should be.
So if you're here and you're one or both of the above, will you please answer this question? I'm very curious about the response.
Does an author you like turn you off when they switch/try out a new genre?
For instance, when Nora Roberts tried out the J.D. Robb thing, did you follow because she's NORA or did you try out J.D. having never read Nora (WHAT!) and now you do?
Is changing subgenres within a genre a no-no?
The thing I couldn't understand about ...

Letterboxing... Do You?
My mom told me about a fun little scavenger hunt that actually isn't so little. It's free and all over the US. It's called Letterboxing North America.
After looking into, I'm very excited to try it. In fact, this Friday, the kids and I will do our first one.
What is it? Well, you have a book - think passport style - where you collect stamps. You have your own stamp and your own "trail" name - "you" can mean an individual or a group/family, we are doing each kid and then me and Hubs will...
