No Thursday Thirteen for me today, because I’m still not quite up to snuff. Did okay at work yesterday, but thank goodness I didn’t have to make any major decisions. Instead, I shuffled paper *g*.
Now I’m trying to get my head wrapped around what I’m gonna work on next…methinks the shifter book, at last for [...]

Feeling better, Release Day & good reviews
Posted in What's Going on With Me Wednesday, tagged book review, flu, release date, Sea of Dreams, word count on January 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sorry for the lapse Monday and Tuesday…I caught a nasty flu/headcold/chestcold…if you can call it any of that. All I know is that I slept about 40 hours over 2 days and finally feel human again.
Unfortunately, I slept through my own release day! Sea of Dreams was released on Monday, and I already got my [...]
Triscuits…quite possibly the perfect food

So I signed up with three other chickies to do a Biggest Loser thing on the base, and we started last Monday. As I do every year (at least for the past several), I take a few weeks to write down everything I’m eating (and drinking…I love my wine), so I can reprogram myself. Not [...]
Coming out of lurk and an answer to Harry’s questions…

Sorry for the disappearance last week…I was in one of those moods where everything I wrote for the blog sounded goofy, so I just decided to bag it for a bit.
In happy news, I finished Breath of Heaven! Yeah for me! It’s now in Pat’s capable hands for the first round of critiquing. I think [...]

As an Arrow, an elite soldier in the Psy Council ranks, Judd Lauren was forced to do terrible things in the name of his people. Now he is a defector, and his dark abilities have made him the most deadly of assassins-cold, pitiless, unfeeling. Until he meets Brenna… Brenna Shane Kincaid was an innocent before [...]
Yeah, it’s Friday!!

Not much going on with me today…I spent last night getting my first-round edits on Sea of Dreams finished and back to my wonderful editor. It seems that I have a new “favorite” word with every manuscript. This time it was “then”. One hundred and twenty-eight of them (in a 30,000 word manuscript) to be [...]
Thirteen books on my TBR shelf (January update)
Posted in Thursday Thirteen, tagged reading, Thursday 13, Thursday Thirteen on January 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, it’s that time again, time to revisit my TBR shelf. Now I get to include the books I got for Christmas!! I have to say, tho, that I’m not doing a ton of reading simply because I’ve been writing! Which is cool, but I’ve got basic edits for Sea back, and line edits for [...]
Going back to work (blech) and writing (yeah!)

I’m still creeping along with Breath, but considering I really started working on it in early December, this is still one of my fastest novellas to date, and I’m really liking it. I do have two pages of notes to go back and layer in stuff, so I’m actually closer to the end than my [...]

Once he had scorched the world… Once he had loved with such passion, his name was legend. Now, a thousand years later, a new threat calls him from the Fading Lands, back into the world that had cost him so dearly. Now an ancient, familiar evil is regaining its strength, and a new voice beckons [...]
