Catching up…

I was out of town for a week, unfortunately not for a fun reason. My grandmother died. She was 93 so this wasn't a shocking death, but she was one of my last connections to my home town so a passing for me in more than one way.

Still, it was nice to get home and spend some actual time there. I also got to see relatives I haven't seen in over 20 years. That is when you realize you are old—when you can say things like that.

You also realize you are old when your sister is constantly bumping into people and exchanging grandchildren stories. Or seeing "old people" walk into a restaurant and realize you might have gone to high school with them.

Yep, old.

Still, like I said, it was really great to get home and see people and despite the sad occasion I am glad I had the chance.

Unfortunately, it put me behind on life though.

I am, however, catching up and if you volunteered to be a beta reader you should find a copy of Found, 2nd in the Lost series, in your inbox.

Next on the writing agenda is a full length vampire romance that I started a long time ago, but was advised not to write by my then agent because "vampires were out."

Uh, yeah.

The book needs a LOT of work, but it has a fun, bad female vampire and a sexy disillusioned male vampire and then the actual heroine and hero. She is human, and he is a dhamphir. I also did some flashbacks, so that is different for me and fun to write.

It's been a while since I had time to work on it and I'm really excited that soon I'll have time!

How about you? What have you all been up to?
