Goodbye Google Blog

I am done with google and their website and blog builders.  DONE!  Now that my new website is up and happily running, I've gone ahead and moved over my blog too.  I'm sorry to everyone who is following me here on google, but I promise you that weebly is so much better that none of us will regret it!

My New Blog is Located HERE.

Please join me!

• Writing has been going well this month!  I'm just reading through the last edits for Paint, Guns, Money, and Love before I go ahead and submit it to LT3.  I'll keep everyone in the loop about how this goes.  I've also been working on Memories of Blood for LT3's Vampire anthology.  It's going well, but still needs a lot of work.  I should have it done in time! 
  
• I am happily participating in LT3's Way To Your Heart Bloghop!  I get to post about things I love here on my blog and I believe I will be hosting a giveaway too.  I have a few more days to figure out what, exactly, my plan is.  Check out the pretty banner for more info!

• I have seen the very first draft of the print book of the Dragon's Hoard.  LT3 really does an amazing job putting these books together.  I am so impressed and happy with the result and I know you will be too.  The release date will either be 6/05/13 or 6/12/13 depending on how quickly everything makes it through the publishing process.  Either way, it will be gorgeous! 

News: Cover and Release Dates

3/13/13

• I have a brand new cover to show off and release dates to announce!  I waited months and months for any word on my story for LT3's Rocking Hard Anthology and I watched (and envied) as volume one came out on serial.  Now, I finally know where and when My Truest Love will appear. 
  
  Check out the cover below!  And be ready on July 3, 2013 for My Truest Love to hit LT3's serial section!  That's a tentative date, subject to change, but still something concrete.  The ebook will be available February 12, 2014! 

• I have started writing my vampire story for LT3's Proud to be a Vampire Anthology.  It's called Memories of Blood and I'm liking it a lot so far.  I've actually got two stories in my head right now that would work for this collection.  If there's still time when I finish Memories I may write the second story too and let LT3 decide which one they want.  You can follow my progress in my current projects section! 



• Paint, Guns, Money, & Love is almost complete.  I'm currently writing the buildup to the final action scene.  I hope to get the story close to 40k words, which means I still have 10k more to write.  It's an exciting challenge for a very exciting book!

    Was my story, The Oracle's Flame, accepted by LT3?  Sort of.  They told me they loved it, but it wasn't quite right for the If You're Reading This Anthology. They still want to publish it, which is awesome and exciting.  I'm looking forward to fleshing the story out a bit more now that it's to be a full ebook!

    Melting the Ice Witch is back with my editor.  This is the hardest editing job of all four books because it's the last one and I want to do it right.   I think it will turn out to be excellent!

    Have you seen the new cover for Road to Revenge? 

Have a look!  Do you see how shiny it is!

    I'm writing a lot right now, but not for the projects I need to be working on.  Isn't it funny how that works?  I have an excellent idea for LT3's Vampire Anthology and I haven't even put a single word on a page because I've been working on Paint, Guns, Money, & Love instead.  PGML is an old story I've had kicking around on my computer for years.  I've added a little here and there every so often, but this time when I popped it open a couple thousand words erupted.  If I finish writing it within the next week, yay, but if not it'll have to be forced into hiding for a while longer so I can work on things with a time limit first.

• I have a new website!  I finally got fed up enough with google sites that I dumped them and moved to weebly.  Check it out! 
  
• The Oracle's Flame has been submitted to LT3's If You're Reading This Anthology.  I'll let you know if they accept it or not, but I'm not worried.  The story has pirates and twins!  How could they not love it?!? 
  
• I'm working hard on the edits for Melting the Ice Witch.  It's the final story in the series so I really want it to go well.  Keep an eye out for it in June!

• My blog tour and giveaway was a huge success!  I really enjoyed visiting other blogs and the giveaway had a great response.  Thank you to everyone who participated! 
  
• I am so close to finishing my submission to LT3's If You're Reading This anthology, The Oracle's Flame.  I have a final scene to write and the editing to do.  Can I finish it by the deadline in eight days?  Well, I'm certainly going to try really hard! 
  
• The edits for Melting the Ice Witch are sitting in my inbox right now!  I've made an executive decision to finish The Oracle's Flame first before I tackle this next big project, but they're sitting there taunting me. 
  
• You can now follow me on Facebook!  Please stop by!
