It's A Writer's Life...

Happy Friday All,

I know it's been a long time since I've written a post. I do apologize. There is A LOT going on.

I'm working on edits based on critique given to me by my critique partner, Tess St. John.  This is for my New Adult Romance--book 1 in a series. I've got around 20 pages left to finish today, then I have to go back over it to check on what I've done (and there's a few things I put into my head to have a closer look on). I'm hoping within the next 2 weeks to get it back out to Tess and to my new critique partner

I do plan to do a giveaway. Not today, but soon. Kathy with Beadmore Designs has made another All's Fair In Love & Lion Monroe Necklace and has agreed to send it to one lucky winner. I'm working on the details for that giveaway, so I'll let you know when the time comes.

Meanwhile, I'll give a little rundown on my New Adult Paranormal Romance.  Immortal Dreams Book 1:  Dream Weaver centers around two 18 year-olds:

Laney Alberts is a typical high school senior. She has a weakness for powdered doughnuts and loves musicals. What she doesn't bargain on is Erich.

Erich Magnus is a descendant of the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus. Erich is a dream weaver whose job is to make the dreams of young women come true. However, when he gets assigned to Laney he has NO idea exactly HOW different this assignment is going to be.

New Adult usually refers to the age group that is around 18 to 25. I kind of look at it as the genre right between Young Adult and Romance. I discovered I really enjoy writing this genre and have planned a total of 3 books in the Immortal Dreams series, as well as a spin-off series that will take place 3 years after Immortal Dreams, and will center around Cupid (Eros) and Psyche's son (who has a twin brother). 

While you're out and about on the internet today, check out the very special fund raiser my author pal, T. Lynn Odom is having. Hurry, though. This fund raiser ends TOMORROW (September 7th).  T. Lynn has agreed to donate $1 to Lone Star Boxer Rescue for every copy of Never Pick On A Jaguar Princess she sells. At the moment, the book is only available on Amazon Kindle. But, hurry, like I said, the fund raiser ends tomorrow!

What are you all up to these days?

Have A Fabulously Fun Friday!
