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 ...

April

 April has been busy; not all was book or writing related. I still did get writing done with everything I have going on. I also got some really good news just yesterday (April 29th) I want to share with you all. I have done my self edits of book 4 and started book 5. 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. I will be fine, just need to figure out what's going on and what I need to do to feel better. I have amazing news! All of April my third book has been being recorded. As of yesterday (April 29th) it has gone live. book 3 Life By The Blue Moon is now an audiobook. It can be found on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes. here is the link to the Audible  https://www.audible.com/pd/ B0F6VKTPNN now I need to get back to work happy...

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...

January

 January was a very long month, it seemed to take forever. I did get stuff done last month. I am sorry I didn’t make this post sooner. I was working on getting everything done and together for the event I took part in on February 8th. I will go into it in the February newsletter/ blog.   I took part in a weekly writing prompt from hold my pen promptcast. Julie Defisher started last year. I have added to the list of wips I need to work on. I wrote on a few wips I need to get done.i am trying to get a backlog of manuscripts at different stages of the editing, formatting, and publishing stages. Mainly so I don’t feel rushed to finish the books I am writing.   I made more buttons/pins for February 8th, and I ordered author copies at the beginning of January. I was told they would be here January 24th. Then it was moved to the 6th of February, after like 5 chat conversations I got them on the 7th of February. That was last Friday and the day before my event, and we’r...

December recap

 Hi everybody, I thought I would just post the recap for December and something that I’ve been thinking about lately now December I wasn’t super busy with events.  I had one event at the beginning of the month that did not go as well I was as I was hoping. But I did sell a couple books. I have been writing more, but most of my writing has been on these writing prompts for this month, but I am still writing. I did re-release a book called Nirvash, A Vampire‘s Tale. It’s going OK, I’ve sold a few copies. I am promoting everything as much as I can. It’s only been about a week. Now to what I’ve been thinking about lately. I’ve been thinking about the fact that there are people out there who think they’ve lost their chance to create to write to draw whatever And I saw something in a video just now that reminded me that I haven’t given up on my dream. Everyone who has a dream shouldn’t give up on it even if they’ve had to put it aside for a short time or a long time. The best exampl...

November

 November was a quiet month, I did some writing on some on going W.I.P.s and some newer ones. I didn’t have any events planned for the month. The most exciting thing was an issue with my mother in-law’s stove.   The on going W.I.Ps are book 4 of my Ann Smith series it’s about 40,000 words and I am hoping it’s the last one in the series. I am working on formatting Nirvash, A Vampire’s Tale for re-release I am hoping to have it out by the end of  December. I am working on Lovebug’s story to have it out sometime next year. The newer ones are not titled yesterday but most of them have a few hundred to a thousand words each. But I am hoping to get them out in the next few years.   Now the most exciting thing being issues with my mother in-law’s stove. The weekend before thanksgiving her oven stopped working. My husband took her out to get a new one, and it was supposed to be delivered the Wednesday before thanksgiving. It wasn’t delivered, and to this day it’s still not b...

October

      October was an interesting month, the first weekend I was at Archon 47, and I made 10 sales and was a panelist at like 5 panels. It was a really fun weekend; I met lots of awesome people. I have been working on getting Nirvash, A Vampire's tale ready to be published hopefully by the end of the year.  so, I was working on everything for that. I added 3 to 4 works in progress in October.      Archon 47 was the only event I had in October I made the 10 sales which is not the amount I had hoped but it was good. I believe that my panel schedule was not conducive for making book sales. I have decided that I will not be a part of panels next year to see if my theory is correct. I got to talk to a lot of awesome authors and artist that weekend.     Nirvash, A Vampire's tale has been edited and I have just finished the work on the book cover today. I am hoping to get ARCs out soon. there isn't much else to do before getting it published, which s...
