Insanity Workout Update - Still Insane
So I’m seventeen days into the 60 day Insanity Workout. I’m
very proud of myself for sticking it out this far. Honestly, I’m a little
surprised. I don’t think I’ve ever stuck with a workout regimen this long.
Seventeen days may not sound like much, but then you don’t know Insanity.
In the schedule, you take the fit test the first day, and
then every two weeks to monitor your progress.

Investing in Self Publishing - Getting Serious
Yay! It’s finally here! I published The Rustler’s
Daughter, my historical/western romance. The ebook is available now on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It will be available in paperback next month on Amazon.
This is the third book I have published. However, I realized that
I am a writer, not a publisher. That’s a problem. This last year, has been a
huge learning experience for me. One of the

Keeping Promises - A Book Dedication
Sorry I haven’t been around much, but for those of you
following me, you know I have been working on my website(www.mefranco.com), and finishing up the
final edits and formatting for my new release, The Rustler’s Daughter. Since it
is a historical/western romance, I thought it would be fun to publish it on
Valentine’s Day. Cheesy? Absolutely J
I dedicated this book to my Papa. I know

How to Make a Website for Technogoobers Like Me
The dreaded author website…
I knew this was something I absolutely needed to do if I wanted to look professional. As a technogoober, the whole creating a website thing had
me curling up in the fetal position, looking for my teddy bear. Sure, I could
pay someone to do it and not give it another thought, but, as I’ve said before,
I hate paying people to do something I’m capable of doing

Insanity Workout? Me in a Bikini? Clearly, I've Lost It
I shared my writing resolution with you for this year,
but what I didn't tell you is that I made yet another resolution to lose weight
and get in shape. I know, I know...not again. I have struggled with my weight
my whole life, and I can't tell you how much money I have wasted on diets and
exercise plans.
So how would this time be any different? That was my
challenge. I was chatting with a

Cover Reveal!! -The Rustler's Daughter
I'm not sure what it is about getting a finished book
cover that really gets me excited about publishing. I think it's because it is
almost the last step, and the cover makes it real. As if I don't believe my
story is going to be published until the cover makes it a tangible thing.
I am in the final phase of editing for my new
historical/western romance, The Rustler's Daughter. If I haven't

Author Spotlight - Valerie Haight
Imagine getting your dream job after college. You're
happily married, but hubby's feeling a little left behind. On a business trip,
you get attacked. Your husband isn't there, but your hot co-worker is. He saves
your life and now the two of you share a bond that threatens your marriage.
This is the basis for the book, Happenstance, by Valerie Haight. I just read
it, and absolutely loved it. I

The Next Big Thing - The Rustler's Daughter
I was incredibly honored when I was
approached by Stacy Claflin to take part in the Next Big Thing blog hop. Read about her book, Deception (The Transformed, Book One) here. I love
finding out sharing information about new authors and books, so I was more than
happy to join in. The point is to give published/unpublished writers a chance
to share their work and then pass it on to two others who

I am always happy to host amazing authors on my blog, so
I am honored to have K.R. Jordan. (River Jordan) back. You may remember her
from a poet spotlight blog I posted in May. I absolutely love River's writing, and
I am very excited to share information about her latest release, Riftglade.
