  I know I have posted a lot this month and I know not all posts have been very along or the best for everyone. I will do my best to get better posts ups for you wonderful people.   The last couple weeks have been a whirl wind of ups and downs, not all from writing or the publishing process which is the main reason for this post. But I want you all to understand that I am a real person with life issues like everyone else. So I am going to touch on everything from things in my personal life to my writing life.    I will start with some publishing stuff, I got my photo shoot done and just waiting on images to come back. I was asked to send in my author bio and synopsis of my book which I did. But will in the process of doing that my personal life got kind of in the way. You see my family and I had to end a friendship with someone who had been in our life for many years. He had lied to us for many months about something stupid. He was not keeping the promises to the...

That's right my kids have started school they are both now in high school. my beautiful daughter is now a freshman in high school, and my handsome son is a junior. I feel happy they are growing up and doing so well in school (my daughter is taking sophomore English, math , and science and my son is in welding and is getting college credits for it. he is also taking driver's ed behind the wheel.) but I am sad as well because they are growing up :(. yes I know they have to grow up but I miss when they were little.     To keep myself from feel sad(like I do at the beginning of every school year) I am trying to stay very busy which is really easy now that I am trying to promote my book I am in the process of having published. Lately I am work on trying to have professional photos done but it is hard when you don't have a lot of money to spend on them. I have a few places I am looking in to because they are not too much. I have also been working on a short story, but I wil...

Hi all I thought I would share the new title of my book. the new tile is New Life By The Full Moon. What do you think??? The main reason I am posting is I'm having some anxiety and 2nd guessing myself and I need to get this out. hopefully I won't be so anxious and I might actually be able to sleep. editing is pretty much done I am having a meeting tomorrow to talk about publishing. I'm scared what if I'm doing something wrong what if I shouldn't be doing this. I know people tell me my stories are great and they need to be published. Even my editor said it needs to be published. but I'm scared.  I'm tired of the grumpy people telling me that I'm wrong. I should do this or that I shouldn't have everyone support me the way I do. or that they should be the ones succeeding not me and I don't need to hear that. so I need the support I need the love and caring of my friends. I do not need grumpy people. I do not need jealous people. I do not need p...

 I am trying to decide to self publish or to traditionally publish there are pros and cons to both.  If I self publish, I have control over the title, design, and timing. But I will have to promot myself by myself. Which I am not great at to begain with. Everything I will have to pay for my self. If I try to get self published I would have help promoting if I get an agent. And it will not really cost me anything. But I don't have much control over the title, cover, or timing of it coming out. I am have a hard time deciding. So I thought I would ask you all so please comment about this and let me know what you think. Happy reading Happy writing
