New pet, the start of school, and some explaining

First we have a new hedgehog her name is luna, she is a sweet little hedgehog and very active when she is awake.

School started Monday (August 11th) which my kids are very happy about which means I will have more time to write during the day as soon as we get used to the school schedule again.

I know my blogs can get boring for some of you and I am trying to keep it from getting boring, but I am a stay at home mom as well an aspiring writer. So there is not a lot of the fun or excitement to post about as an author who has been traditionally published with book signings and book tours. I do my best to post things that might be interesting to you as well as posting the progress of my writing, querying and what not.

With that said I will update you on my writing and such. I have been writing late at night when I can't sleep. I do have 3 stories I am working on, I am trying to get one finished before really working on another so I don't get the story lines mixed up. So far all the query letter I sent out for The were I have became ( working title) have either gotten no reply which is a rejection or rejection letters. I may have ti rework my query letter again and try querying agents again. I thought about querying publishing houses but I have heard very few will look at new work with out an agent. I know I need help but I can't afford to get an editor or pay proof readers, so I am trying to do all this on my own.

On a happier note I will be taking part in a writing workshop at archon this October so I will get some input on one of my stories and see if I can apply what they say about that story to my other works. I will post more about archon when it gets closer to that time.

It's 3:25 am right now I need to see if I can get some sleep before my kids have to get up for school.
Happy reading
Happy writing

April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the ...

May

  So far May is going well, my first event this month was on the 4th, it went well I sold 11 books and got to talk to interesting people. my next event is on May18th, it is taking place in Maryville IL. I am doing this event for the first time; I am hoping it is a good event for me.     I have been working on redoing my vampire book which was pulled from print years ago the title is still Nirvash, A Vampire's Tale. I finished up doing the self-edit and adding some details all on paper. I need transcribe it to the document on my laptop. I am going to try and get it out by the end of the year so i can possibly get Lovebug's life story out the following year.   I don't have a whole lot more to say at this time. I hope you all have a great day happy reading  happy writing

June

 This June has been going well. I am having my books being made into audiobooks right now New Life By The Full Moon is in that process. I had a couple of events this month. and I am working on so many w.i.p.s  I am hoping to get some of them finished at least the first drafts if not finished to be published. First, I will talk about the audio books. I started the process at the end of May and will hopefully have New Full By The Full Moon will be done at the end of June. the narrator is wanting to do all 3 books in this series. I am so very happy that this narrator is working out so well.  the two events I had were small and not super busy, so I only sold a few books, but I had fun talking with the other vendors. I do not have any other events this month my next event is July 13th. the next event should be busier. Now the w.i.ps I have at least 5 going right now. One is the 4th book in my Ann Smith series, one is the vampire story I wrote years ago, and the companion story...
