New Cover Reveal - Where Will You Run?
Some
of you may know that I have been working on new covers for my Díon books. I wanted to wait until I had both covers in
hand and then do a big reveal for both.
However,
I woke up this morning and found out some awesome news! Where Will You Run?, my
first Díon book, has been nominated for The Harvey Award for the Book We Most

Blog Tour: Terra's Wrath by Meaka Kyel
I am
honored to be a part of Meaka Kyel's blog tour for her latest release, Terra'sWrath. I'm a big fan of Meaka's, and I've been waiting for this book to
come out. I mowed through it in two days because I had a hard time putting it
down.
Meaka
is going to be giving away a signed paperback of Terra's Wrath to a lucky
winner here on my blog. All you have to do to enter is leave a

Our Ghost Adventure at Preston Castle
Let
me just say first off that I don’t believe in ghosts. However, my best friend,
Shelbi, is a huge fan of Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, etc., and I have to
admit, I love to watch the shows too.

Cyber Bullying on Goodreads: Take 2
Wow…ever
write a blog and accidentally kick a hornets’ nest? That’s what happened to me
with my original Cyber Bullying on Goodreads post. The point of that particular article was that
Goodreads didn’t really respond to my questions about how they deal with people
who abuse their review policy. I have heard terrible stories about cyber
bullying (against authors and reviewers/readers alike) as I

Insanity Workout Update - Insane to Ridiculous
Ok,
for the few people who have been following my Insanity Workout adventure, you
know I should be in the second, more challenging month by now. At least, that
was the plan.
After
I finished the first 30 days, I was feeling pretty proud of myself. With the
exception of a conference I had to attend for work, I followed the exercise
plan as directed. I even made up the conference days. Then I

Guest Post - Ego/Fear by Scott Morgan, WriteHook
I
am absolutely thrilled to have Scott Morgan on my blog. I have been a fan of
Scott's for some time. If you haven't had a chance to check out Scott's work,
you are missing out. One of his favorite sayings is "Write for the Jugular,"
and he does just that. He is fearless when it comes to writing, and I admire
that. I recently finished his latest book, How To Be A Whiny Beeyotch: 71

High School Reunions and Ear Infections
This
morning, my husband reminded me that our high school reunions should be coming
up sometime this year. He asked me if I had checked on mine, and I said no. He
said he hadn’t checked on his either.
It
reminded me of my ten year class reunion - the only one I ever went to. It was
two weeks after we had gotten married. I was a drama geek in high school, so I

Working the Amazon System May Be the Key
If
you follow me at all, you know I released The Rustler’s Daughter on 2/14/13
(actually I uploaded it to Amazon and Barnes and Noble the day before to make
sure it was ready). As with my other two books, I had planned to work
diligently on Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, and was considering doing a blog
tour. I had information up on my website and had been talking about it on my
blog.
