What I’m reading…
I’ve had an ereader for years and was talked into getting an Amazon kindle. (We won’t mention that I was the one who did the talking.)
Anyway, I get emails every day advertising free books. I download the ones that catch my attention. Now, I have way more books on my Kindle than I’ll ever be able to read. Out of nearly a thousand books on my kindle, I’vepurchased only around ten. It’s sad.
So, I’ve decided to read from my kindle this week. There are so many good books waiting for me, it was har...

Stalking the new release….in video form.
As some of you know, I have a little problem with books.
I buy way more than I read. What you might not know is that videoes come in a close second. I watch them all, but I buy way more than I should. I signed up for NetFlix a few years ago, and it has helped tremedously. But sometimes, I backslide when I see a good deal…or something I just must have. lol
So, I ran across some good deals in the last few weeks.
These are on my want list:
I haven’t seen most of these yet. I also have two horror mov...

Interview and Giveaway!
I’m at Melissa Limoges’ blog today talking about my latest release The Demon Within. (Click on her name to follow the link.)
Not only did she do a wonderful interview, she gave a glowing review of my book! If you love books, this is a great blog to follow. She writes wonderful reviews that always make me want to run out and buy the book. Bad for the checkbook, but good for the little book worm in me.
I’d love for you to stop by and check it out. You never know, you might find something new abou...

What I’m reading…
Both of these books are urban fantasy.
One I purchased becuase I vaguely knew the writer, the other because the blurb caught my attention.
Here are the blurbs for this week:
Silver~

But the lone Were he’s tracking doesn’t smell or act like anyone he’s ever encountered. And when he catches her, it doesn’t get any better. She’s beautiful, she’s crazy...

Progress…
Progress is slow, but I have been making progress on my writing.
The book is taking shape, the uphill climb to the end is drawing near.
Dog and I are still exercising every morning. Well, mostly the dog, but don’t tell him that. We throw ball ever morning at 6:30. He’s sort of myalarm clock. When he drops the ball at my feet, I know it’s time to get off the computer or I will be late for work. I ignored him once and it was a close call!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and good...
