Wandering Wednesday Wondering

Hello lovelies!  In case you missed it, we had some fun stuff on the tour this week! I had the first in a four-part interview with Nancy Christie and we did a Top Ten of Sam's Favorite books over at Live to Read. I also had a really great podcast interview with Soul Sciences Podcasting which was actually for the Goodreads Cyber Con, but it went so well that Charlene put it up early! Hope you enjoy checking out these stops! Whew,  it is Wednesday. I have had a hectic couple of months, and the

Poetry Corner: Glimmers

So far awayso uncertain.Another lifegleams through the curtain.  Distant memoriesof a past forgotten.Cling to fragments of a time unsaughten.  Tantalizing memoriesthat lead to clarity.Yet I cannot quite grasp and fail in disparity.  Clinging with desperationwhether fantasy or fact.Now that I've glimpsed paradise,I can't turn back. Whew, there is nothing like a bit of poetry to release some pent-up tension! Before I leave you, don't forget about the awesome stops for the tour.  Today there is the

Poetry Corner: Confused

I know what I want. I know where I want to be. Just can't find the way.  What is wrong with me?   Trying to find my way,  through this maze of life.

Keep looking for a way. Just keep on believing that you'll get there someday.      Thanks for letting me get some angst out with my poetry. The Hell

#Protip- When Things Get Crazy

Hello Lovelies!    Life has gotten crazy. (I know, my life, wha...!) with the book launch right around the corner, getting everything wrapped up for the tour (which is gonna be AMAZING!) The joy of contract work leaving me scrambling to pay bills because my main source hasn't started the new project that was supposed to be starting up in January, and teenage boys who have decided that homework is for everyone else....   I sometimes feel like a chicken with her head cut off.    One can only be
