November was kind of busy at the beginning of November I had Flirty in Iowa. I've had several doctors appointments and I have been writing some. Flirty in Iowa went well I sold I think six books and I got to meet Aspen Winters and PJ Spark two of the authors I've been talking to online. I was totally giddy and fan Girling. I completely enjoyed every minute of it and I would do it again. The doctors appointments are for the same issue I've been having for a while. It's just I get to see a whole bunch of them now I saw my primary care. Had to go to urgent care twice for allergic reactions. I get to see my doctor this week for a check on a med I'm taking. Next week I get to go see an allergist. I'm hoping and praying that I get some answers. I have been writing more and I think it has something to do with the medication that I want to help with my migraines. It also helps me sleep so I'm thinking more clearly than I used to. So I've been writing a bit mo...

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 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

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 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 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 ...
