October

This month went pretty good. the only events I had was Archon 48 and Books By The Arch. I also had Life By The Eclipsed Moon come out on Oct. 15th. the rest of the month has been preparing for November and one Dr. appointment. Archon 48 went ok, I sold abook, a book box, and a blind date with a book. A bunch of people did scan the QR code on my dot card. one young lady got book one on her kindle while we talked. I also got to see people I haven't seen in a while and I met some really awesome people. All in all I say it was a good event, I can't wait til next year. this was the first year I did Books By The Arch. It went well, I sold 2 books and 2 book boxes. I met some new readers and authors, everyone we really nice. I would do this event again in the future. I had book 4 Life By The Eclipsed Moon come out Oct. 15th, it was the first time I had a book come out on my birthday. so far everything is going ok, I created and ordered all the swag I needed for this book. i re...

September

September has started good, I went to Lexington Legendary Book Bash as a signing author. It went well I sold 4 book boxes and a copy of my vampire book. I met so many wonderful people, I was at the table next to Micca Michaels and across the way from Evie Black. All the readers were so kind and fun to talk to. I plan on doing it again next year. The rest of this month I am working on reorganizing and making sure I have everything I need for the next few events. I am going to be at Archon 48 from Oct. 3-5. Archon is an awesome scifi convention that takes place in the St Louis area. I enjoy going every year, I get to see some awesome cosplays. I also get to see some friends who I don't get to see most of the year. The event after Archon is Books By The Arch Oct. 11th, this will be the first year for this event for me. so I don't have any idea of how it will go, I am hoping for it to go well. I will update on the these events next month. Happy reading Happy writing

August

This month I didn't have any events. I spent the month of August writing and preparing for the event I have the first weekend of September. Lexington Legendary Book Bash is Sept. 6th in Lexington KY. After that I have nothing until October, but I will get into those events another time. I have been trying to get book 4 in my Ann Smith series done and ready to be published. I also have been working on book 5 and trying to get lovebug's story done. I have also contenued writing prompts from the Hold My Pen Promptcast. I really enjoy that, it helps get so story ideas flowing. This is the first time I will be signing at Lexington Legendary Book Bash. I am looking forward too it. I get to meet/see other indie authors I know from TikTok. I will write more after the event. I will spend the rest of Sept. like I have in Aug. preparing for the events in Oct. and hopefully get more writing done. I need to get back to work happy reading happy writing

July

July was one of the months I didn't have an event where I did a book signing. But it was still busy, I edited book 4 of my Ann Smith serises. Before I gave it to my beta reader who is really good with all the english stuff I am not very good with. I did some writing done on more than one story. I also took part in the weekly prompt from the Hold my pen promptcast. Lets talk about the editing process. For me its self editing to catch as must as I can. I self edit at least four times before I give it to anyone else. My beta reader is my mother in law to be honest. She loves all the things that deal with english, which is helpful to me. I am dyslexic, so I am not great with spelling and grammar. She goes over and reads my stories ensuring everything looks good. She is a huge help to me. My muse has been a busy bee and has me working on a few stories I have written at least a few pages on. I also have written on a few new story ideas, the only thing I haven't worked on was...

May and June

May was uneventful I spent all of may and most of June getting ready to go to Getting Witchy With it in New Orleans. I will get in more detail about the event in a moment, I want to give you all some idea of what it took for me to get ready. First let me say we had already had our room resereved last year for the end of June. I spent my time making button/pins,magnets and I had to order some book marks and busness cards. I had to make sure we had everything we would need for the event and the 4 days we would be gone. I made sure our son knew how to take care of my birds and that he had food to eat while we where gone. We left early Friday June 27th it was a 10 hour drive, we got to the hotel early that evening. we rested most of the evening /night then hung out with some fellow authors who also were selling books at Getting Witchy with It. that Saturday June 28th my husband and i went to sign in and support authors who would not be there Sunday. We spend a few hours there, we ...

A lot of books 5 so far has been written with writing prompts that was share om Hold my Pen Promptcast. That happens every Saturday night on twitch. I also got the book cover for book 4 done. now I have had some health issues interrupt my work. Nothing life threating like cancer but rather bothersome.

February and March

 February  Sorry this is for February,I have been in a writing fog for a while. I had an event in KC MO. Feb. 8th, it went ok. I sold some books and buttons, I met lots of nice people. I finished book 4 and started editing, I spent the day with my husband on his birthday at the end of the month. Nothing else really happened in February. March I finished editing book 4 and started transcribing it into the computer. I started writing book 5 I got some of that in the computer as well. I have been taking part in a writing prompt cast for a while now so I write on those as well. I went to the dr. Nothing bad just wanted to figure out why I keep having allergic reactions to everything. She ordered some test to be done. All but one was allergy related, a few days after my appointment I got a call that the results for the non allergy test came back and it doesn’t look good. I have to she a few specialists. But I am sure I will be ok. But since the phone call I haven’t been able to con...
