Guest Blog: How My Obsession Fed My Writing

I am a Halloween junkie. For those of you who have known me for longer than a day, you are well aware of this. As we head closer to my favorite holiday, I felt it was appropriate to write a blog about it. Today, I am running a guest post on Seven Scribes about my version of a ‘Permanent Halloween’.

Come take a gander. See what the OCD is all about!  To read it, click HERE.

The Fledgling Release Day!

Hello and welcome to release day for the Fledgling! Can you believe that when we started this self-pub journey in January we would be here already, releasing book TWO of the Mind Sweeper Series? So what am I doing today? Well, I am actually going to work. Yes, you read that correctly. I am heading to my day job. But I am celebrating my release with enthusiasm! If you remember for my last release, I wore a tiara and carried a wand around (check out my Mind Sweeper Release Day blog if you don’t believe me).

Today, the tiara is back out and will be worn as I drive to work. As evidence, I have attached a picture of said tiara, said author, and said car. See…I am not making this up! I did decide to leave the wand at home however, since holding it while driving is hazardous to my health and those around me! And of course attempting to work at my computer while holding the wand would be problematic as well.

But even if I did decide to wear my tiara all day long, I don’t think anyone at work would mind. I don’t know if that says more about the acceptance of my co-workers or the fact that they expect a little ‘crazy’ out of me :)

Maybe a little of both, right?

So join me in celebrating my release. Hold up a glass of virtual champagne and toast with me. Another dream has come true for me today. Tiara or no tiara, that makes me feel like a princess…and a rock star… and a very happy and lucky person who has the support of friends, family and you, my followers!

Enjoy today, I know I will!

Guest Blog: What Influenced Me to Write Paranormal

Before I post my first countdown teaser, I want to let you know about a guest blog I am on today. I am visiting Zombie Girl Shambling where I talk about What influenced me to write paranormal. The site specializes in horror fiction, and since I think of paranormal as a cousin of horror, I am dropping by for a visit!

If you have time to stop by for a quick read, then check it out HERE

Also, I have a Goodreads giveaway going on for The Fledgling as well, so hop over on over to Goodreads and sign up HERE

 

Ask and You Shall Receive…Teasers are Coming!

You read it right, in celebration of The Fledgling release on Monday, I will have a five day teaser countdown starting tomorrow! It was funny how many people have been asking me where the teasers for the new book are…well, ask loudly enough and you shall receive.

In the meantime, I have started a new Pinterest board for The Fledgling as well. Take a quick gander at it. There are some fun, 80’s flashback things on the board. And of course, the teasers will be showing up there soon as well!

The Fledgling Book Release – One Week and Counting!

I got my print proof for The Fledgling today! Can you believe that in one week my next book in the Mind Sweeper series, will be released? Wow. The days are flying and I had just a small amount of time to savor the release of book one! Hah!

But remember, my followers, I want to release books so that hopefully my readers will finish my first book and go searching right away for the next one. Good philosophy, right? And as you know, I have been working diligently to make that happen. While all the hoopla was going on in preparation for book one, behind the scenes I was also working on the next two that will be released this year.

Book two is a novella about Jean Luc, Kyle’s noble and seemingly unflappable vampire teammate. The novella gives you a sneak peek at his past. Not too far back…but a fun time period nonetheless. It takes place in the 1980’s and if you think Misha is a character in book one, wait until you see what he is doing in this book!  I hope you have been enjoying my stories so far.

And before you ask…when I got home today, I ripped open the delivery box like it was a Christmas present and there my BEAUTIFUL book was! Hee, hee…the thrill of holding it doesn’t grow old!
