Busy, But Hopefully Back

Happy Monday All,

Whew! This summer has proven to be more eventful than I planned.

Offspring was supposed to be in swim lessons for 2 weeks (4 days each week). Unfortunately, even the best laid plans go awry at times. The first week, offspring got sick after the second day of lessons (I had my own health problems that week, too). He had to miss 2 days (well, they canceled the second day due to weather issues, but he would've missed anyway due to his health). The second week I started off with a sinus infection (no problem, I got antibiotics), except Tuesday afternoon I felt foul, then in the evening/night ended up sick! I had to go off the antibiotics, and lay in bed for 2 days. Friday I finally started getting my energy back. Then Saturday I started a new antibiotic, which I finally get to finish today.

This past week was pretty good, though. We made it to a nephew's birthday party, and I got some writing done on my WIP, and an idea for another story (I've got several stories waiting in the wings to be written). I'm hoping husband, offspring, and I stay well for a long while now.

Other than family and my health, there's a bunch of books to be released soon...here's a few I'm looking forward to:

Debut author, Katie McGarry has a YA novel coming out called Pushing The Limits that looks good! Should be out very soon. I'm looking forward to reading it.

The awesome Christie Craig is bringing out her next book in her Hotter In Texas series, Blame It On Texas coming out in August. Considering it's a Christie Craig book, it should be lots of fun to read. 

YA Fantasy author, Lesley Livingston, got my attention with her Wondrous Strange triology. I'm excited to see the Fennrys Wolf from that series will be back in her newest story, Starling.

The wait is nearly over...Shanna Swendson will be putting out book 5 in her Enchanted, Inc. The much anticipated Much Ado About Magic will be available in August. I've been waiting a long time for this one.

So, how is your summer going? Any fun/exciting adventures happening?

Have A Magical Monday!

Glad you and the Kiddo are feeling better ,Bethany...that is no way to spend any time, let alone summer vacation!
Things have been very up-in-the-air here.The game-plan seems to change all the time and I don't remember being issued a book(!)
I submitted a play to a couple of theaters online, will mail it out to a couple of others that will take unagented full scripts. I have a commitment from the editor of a national magazine to print an article of mine in an upcomming issue.I should get more 'out there', but I have put the family first;personal choice. I hope all stay well and if your Offspring has school coming up,I hope he has a little more time.The kids here start school on Wednesday.

Tonette,

Wow, y'all start EARLY. Some folks around here don't start until mid-to-late August.

It's amazing how fast it all seems to go at times, isn't it?

Best wishes in all your publishing ventures! That is so cool about the magazine and play. Hope it all goes through.

Thank you for dropping by and commenting :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

By
Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
