Running Out Of Lies Book One

I'm so excited! I think I like it! I am about to lose control….

 
Yep, a lyricist I am not. But the excited part true! After weeks of looking, and hoping and praying, I actually took the plunge and bought a strapless dress. Excited yes. If you follow me on Facebook, you know I had reduction surgery last year and this has been a forever dream of mine. I want to look fierce in a strapless dresses.
Well, I am kicking it up a notch and adding a strapless jumpsuit to that list. I am still amazed at how smooth and classy I look. Just a little off the top changes my whole look. Tata for now.
I am going back to being excited.

Dr. Erik Liam Plez Character Interview

Dr. Erik Liam Plez Character Interview

(This interview was cancelled after Dr. Erik refused to cooperate)

I arranged to meet with Dr. Erik through unofficial underground channels at a secret location. I arrived at a small private undisclosed airstrip a little after midnight. After being blind folded and searched by three heavily armed men who confiscated my cellphone, I am placed in an unmarked black SUV. I soon fall asleep. I awake on an overstuffed couch, look at my watch it is half a day later.


Looking out the big window in front of me, I see mountains all around the cabin. The view is spectacular. I’ve been to here before, it’s Silverton, Colorado. The Million Dollar Highway has to be close. I see the hunky guys and the SUV, the guys must be patrolling. Taking it all in, I stand up and look around the cabin which is full of Marine motif.


I hear the sound of drums coming from upstairs. It must be Dr. Erik. He sometimes plays or use to for the Marine Band. As I prepare to climb the stairs the whistle from the Durango-Silverton train startles me.


Losing my footing, I scream as I fall into the arms of a very sexy brown eyed man. Dr. Erik, I presume. Another shirtless man appears at the top of the stairs. I don’t recognize him. My scrambled thank you does not impress the doctor. He only nods and points me to the kitchen table.


The long hand carved kitchen table has the Marine insignia in the middle and is set for Afternoon Tea. A tall muscular man with brown eyes pulls my chair out and offers me tea, sandwiches, fruit and cheese. Tackling the food he puts before me, my stomach grumbles. I don’t know who he is, but, I get the feeling he’s got a story to tell.


Turning back to Dr. Erik I study him. Dressed in a red T-shirt with faded yellow lettering, Marines can still be recognized. His jeans look snug. Though Dr. Erik is relaxed as he sits back in his chair, His rugged face is worried. He looks a lot different then when I first wrote him. His sandy locks are now dark brown. Yet, he’s still handsome as he yawns then sips his tea.


Abigail: Dr. Erik thank you for meeting with me.


Dr. Erik: I thought it was time we meet.


Abigail: Why


Dr. Erik: Lady, you’ve been on my tail for years. Now that you’ve told my story I think it only fair people hear my side.


Abigail: The books not out yet Dr. Erik


Dr. Erik: I know


Staring at each other, there is an uncomfortable silence, so I sip my tea and nibble on a tuna sandwich with walnuts and cranberries.


Dr. Erik: Look Abs. I’ve got a 100 men on my sixes.


Abigail: I thought sixes was a Navy term? I thought you were a Marine.


Dr. Erik: It is. Dalton’s, a Navy man. He nods to the chef who smiles. Stay around Dalt enough you’ll say it to.


He says nothing else. The stubborn alpha male is in residence and I had better grab hold of the reigns or my interview will be over. I’ve offended him.


Abigail: You’re literally running for your life. Why?


Dr. Erik: I was in the Young Marine Program for more than a decade. Then I decide to leave and become a small town doctor and all hell breaks loose. I am running from lies Ab’s. The only people I can trust are the four men here. I can’t even trust my parents.


Abigail: What about Amelia?


Dr. Erik waves his hand and two of the three guards come in.


Dr. Erik: This interview is over Abs. My men will take you back to the airport.


Dalton hands me a bag of goodies with a smile. Dr. Erik disappears. I guess this means the interview is over?

A pint of ice cream, In Like Flint, Coffee and great Oatmeal Cookies.

Ice Cream and pastries are my guilty pleasure. Coffee and oatmeal cookies are my seducer. In Like Flint? Only the greatest secret agent movie EVER!

Sunday mornings at The Abby are busy these day. I am putting the final touches on my blog tour, trying to figure out which excerpt to include as a teaser and trying my dandiest to get my characters ready for prime time. Sugar Honey Ice Tea! The eclectic life of a writer.

Abby.

A pint of Neapolitan ice cream, The Italian Job & Johnnie Taylor.

I am tired of lying, peeping and hiding, I am running out of lies, lies, and it's hard to think of an alibi -Tyrone Davis, Running Out Of Lies Lyrics

A pint of Neapolitan ice cream, The Italian Job, Johnnie Taylor and a nap gave birth to a book. A nice dessert liquor and a piece of chocolate cheese helped me write it!
   

Everything’s Better With Bluebonnet On It!

Everything’s better with Bluebonnet on it!

Just not the computer.

I use to love the old Bluebonnet commercial, always made me wish for Bluebonnets, bonnet or hat if you will. Speaking of hats……In the last couple of weeks as my book “Running Out of Lies” begins to it journey down the birth canal of publication, distribution and into the hands of fan. I am reminded of my desire to wear Bluebonnet hat. As an Indie Author I am both the author and a one woman PR team. Overwhelmed is not a big enough word for what I am feeling. I am so ready to give birth to this little baby. Oh, the joy and anticipation!
I use to watch the old Superman shows from the 50’s. Perry White was always trying to “put the paper to bed”. Yelling “Great Caesars Ghost” there was always something that almost stopped the presses and had Clark, Lois, and Jimmy rewriting or making the paper better for the morning addition.
Sitting at the computer this morning with a nice cup of hot chocolate, dresses in my finest Bluebonnet while yelling “Great Caesars Ghost” I am smiling. I almost have my blog tour locked in, the redesign of my blogger is moving along nicely, my  new website should be unveiled next week and as for me I am as cute as  a button eating a piece of toast with Bluebonnet on it! ~Abby~

Tasiilaq, Greenland

Tasiilaq, Greenland in winter, is a beautiful place. I turned on my computer this morning and my screen saver of a snow-covered Tasiilaq jumped out at me. It’s so beautiful.
Work has consumed me these days and I have so little time to post on FB and  until I’ll take a break and enjoy the spectacular beauty of what looks to me like heaven on Earth wherever I can get it.

Abigail Book Roll Out Part 1

  So it has begun. Today I began the planned roll out of my new book series. Running Out of Lies (No Alibi Series Book One).  After what seemed like years of planning, my roll out began to spring forth and take on a life of its own. It’s really nice when a plan comes together.
  Nobody ever told me it takes a lot of planning to launch a book, website, blog or an author’s page. My book is due out in July, so, I plan to spend the next couple of months utilizing what I have learned about this particulate part of my craft. I want a Release Party, Book Trailer Release, eBooks etc. In the last couple of years, I have enjoyed accepting invitations to lots of awesome online events.

 I look forward to the coming weeks and months as I embark on a new adventure. My favorite part of any Book Release is the Release Party.
