December 2009

» The holidays came early for me this month! Believing Is Trusting will be released on December 4th. This story was a lot of fun to write because I work in the wine industry. Bach's last name is based on a grape variety used to make wine in Greece.

November 2009

» Congratulations to Kimmy Lane! She's my winner for the Halloween Hide and Seek contest that wrapped up on the 31st. I have to do that one again next year, we had a lot of fun with it.

» This is going to be a busy month for me. Mainly because NaNoWriMo started on the 1st. This is a big writing challenge I've enjoyed for the last 4 years. In fact, Believing Is Seeing was my very first NaNo project in '05. While I like to think that I can write a more polished first draft now, November is all about crazy, organic, free-form writing. There aren't many rules aside from 50,000 words in 30 days. I don't have to watch my was or were, and I can use as many fragments as I like. My internal editor gets locked up tight and I shine a light in all the tidbits stuck in the corners of my subconscious. Trust me, I have some strange, multi-coloured blobs of information stuck in there.

» I can't believe how time has flown the past few weeks! I've been floating a few inches off the ground ever since Believing Is Seeing released. My first contest draw is almost here. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter and be automatically entered in all my draws.

August 2009

» Believing Is Seeing has a cover! I'm so excited. It's designed by Jinger Heaston and she did a beautiful job. I don't want to say too much, but what looks like Northern Lights have a special meaning in the book. You'll have to wait to find out why. Believing Is Seeing will be out on August 21st.

» I've set up a Yahoo group for a monthly newsletter and contest news. First drawing will be on September 21st.

July 2009

» First off and most importantly, Believing Is Seeing has a home! I've been contracted through Siren Publishing. I've been over the moon excited since I got the call. It'll be out early fall, when I have an exact date I'll post it here. I can't believe how time has flown in the last year. I'm learning so much about the business end of writing. My second book, Poseidon's Tear, is almost finished and will be submitted by mid-month.

September 2008

» After many, many, cups of coffee and a bit too much chocolate, I've finally finished my first book Believing is Seeing. It was a finalist in Passionate Ink's Stroke of Midnight contest and finished with a Honorable Mention. I couldn't be more excited. It's been submitted for consideration. Please join me in crossing every available finger and toe. I'll be crossing my eyes too.

» I'm continuing to work on Celtic Treasures and the sequel to Believing is Seeing (featuring Bacchus).
