Happy Memorial Day

God bless our great country and the brave soldiers who fight for it. While celebrating this day, whether that be by hanging out with the family by the grill or just sleeping in and enjoying the day off of work, please keep our soldiers, past and present, in your thoughts. Also, think of the families who are going through their first Memorial Day without a husband, father, brother, wife, mother, sister, cousin, or other family member or friend who gave their life so we may enjoy our freedoms. Say a prayer for them and hold them in your heart. Be safe and have a wonderful holiday.

New David Cook Cover - Kings X

OK, so it's not "new" but it's new to me. I'd really love a whole hard rock album from David ... and one of all ballads... and one of all covers ... and one of all originals.. and ... well , you get it .

Enjoy.

I Wanna Go Camping!

Well, writing has been slow due to me basically just lounging around stuffing my face and crying. Oh, depression, my old friend, you suck ass!

BUT... I have decided I don't like being like this... and my jeans are getting too tight... and I haven't completed a new novel or novella since May 8,2010 ... and that is just unacceptable so I am focusing on the good stuff in life and moving forward with the things I want and actually have control over.

One of those things is my desire to go camping. I have wanted to go camping since I was a little girl but my parents weren't campers and I just never got around to it after I got old enough to go myself.

I'm going camping! Not immediately, but within this year. I'm super-psyched about it. I can't wait to sleep in a tent and fish for our dinner! We are going to try to "rough it" as much as possible, no buying food from the grocery conveniently located by the campground for us. No sir. No portable tv's and no laptop. We will be cooking hot dogs on a stick our first night and catching our own dinner (we hope!) the next night.

I will, however, make one concession: We will be using a campground that comes with bathrooms. I just can't deal with using nature as my toilet.

Other than that, totally ready for the whole "becoming one with nature" thing.

If anyone actually reads this blog (which let's face it, isn't likely due to the fact I have barely updated it this past year)and has any camping stories or advice, I would love to hear it!

Progress on Lucky's Story

I'm doing it, people! I'm writing the second Cook County story and yes, it is Lucky's story. Turns out I had the wrong girl for him so I had to trash the six or so chapters I'd written and start fresh but I am rolling through now! The deadline for this one is January 1st if I want a good start at completing my goal of writing a total of 9 new works this year!

Slayer's Prey Revisions... DONE!

I finally finished revisions on Slayer's Prey today and sent it off to my editor. I can not wait to share Jake and Nyla's story with the world!

I can't recall if I've shared the cover yet so in case I haven't, here it is!

And now for the ritualistic clipping my fingernails down to the quick so I can type like a madwoman as I embark on creating new material! ;)
