The life of a mom that is an author

  I wanted to write this to basically show that my life is not perfect or easy. the last week or so has been so hectic with my youngest preparing to graduate high school and getting everything set up for them to go to the college they are going to. I have not really written on my current W.I.P or promoted the books I have out. 

    My youngest graduated on May 14th and was in the top ten of their class. They are proud of themself and has been getting their things together to go to college in Aug. The main reasons I am not writing or promoting like I should be is because of me taking my youngest everywhere they needed to go. And I have been dealing with my emotions about my kids growing up and not needing me as much.

    I am getting back to my work, but I am still struggling with it all. I will be fine. I want you all know its OK to not be OK. It is ok to take a break from creating if  you need to for whatever reason. It is OK to stop working on something that is not working the way it is suppose to and work on something that is working.

    Now I am going to spend the time I have with my family while they all are still at home.

happy reading

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 ...

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

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
