MIA? Nah, Just BUSY!

Happy Memorial Day / Monday Everybody,

Again I find myself apologizing for the silence on this blog. I really have been super busy.

This past week was the last week of school for offspring, so I had that going on, as well as getting back to full speed after having a virus AND infection the week before.

Now of course, you'll have to pardon more silence on my part as I prep this week for some family events I have coming up next week! I'm hoping after June 9th to be able to keep up better with the blog and every other "every day" thing I do. Life has been incredibly busy (some good ways, and some ways I could do without; i.e. virus/infection), but I have not forgotten my loyal readers! Not at all.

The Lone Star Contest is coming to the deadline for entries (deadline is June 9, 2012). Please check it out and get your entry in. The prizes are really great, and an opportunity to come out to our annual conference is NOT to be missed (believe me, this is my 4th year going to the Conference and I can attest that the other 3 years were AWESOME!)

I've been working on one of my WIP manuscripts (Work In Progress) and there's some tweaking and stuff to do, of course, as well as finishing the manuscript. I like the story; although, Surreal still occupies a particularly special place in my heart. I'm going to have to learn some Blogger stuff so I can create an area for my characters so you can get to know them better--that's one of my goals is to have that up at some point (don't know when, though).

I'm also going to be working on setting up more author interviews. I haven't been doing that because there's been so many other things demanding my attention, but I have a few ideas of people I'd like to ask.

Dreamless by Josephine Angelini comes out tomorrow and I've already ordered my copy which is supposed to ship tomorrow YAY!

I hope all is well on your end and you're having a happy and safe holiday.

I will try to post again before June 9th, but if I don't get to, look for me the Monday after!

Have A Marvelous Monday!

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I&

Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

Happy Tuesday All, ****CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**** In honor of my birthday (that was on Oct. 15th) I am doing TWO give aways! The FIRST one is TODAY!  Today's give away is a copy of Kerrelyn Sparks' Sexiest Vampire Alive . Kerrelyn, being the awesome person that she is, has agreed to give a signed copy of the novel to ONE lucky commenter on my blog.

ONE entry PER person : If you choose to email in your entry: Email to this email ONLY .  Your email should state who your favorite vampire is.

It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire. You don't know Kerrelyn Spa
