A Writer Writes

A writer writes, or so they tell us. They forgot to add in the fact that a fiction writer is haunted by their characters day and night, and that they are unable to keep up with all the story lines in their head.

I just sent Imperfect to VHP for editing this week. I have to get started on its sequel, and a certain someone who shall remain nameless (you know who you are!) encouraged me to write a suspense book. Me? I didn't think I had it in me. Then, I looked at pictures of Jason Statham. I'm a visual person, and this is not the first time a movie person has stirred me to write.

Well, lo and behold, I'm typing the hours away on a new suspense book! Thank you, Mr. Statham.

Obviously, it's very early on. This book may never see publication, VHP and I have NOT discussed anything regarding this concept. For right now, they and I are focused on Imperfect and the sequel.

I'll tell you, though, between JUST finishing Imperfect, needing to continue that story line, and now this new one, I am a writing fiend! It's insane! LOL. It's extremely difficult for my little fingers to keep up with the images and movies that play in my mind.

I didn't have this problem when I was a non-fiction/historical writer. Now I remember why I gave up writing fiction in the first place! LMAO.

If nothing else, it's a new endeavor for me, and I'm excited to see where it may lead ;)

I would like to congratulate the THREE winners of this week's competition.

Major kudos to:

Kristina
Barbara
and Synthya

You will all receive your autographed copies of Loving Her in the mail soon! :)

I held a SPECIAL on all the copies I have in stock. Yes, you can still get Loving Her personally autographed - and at a GREAT price too! $10 because I was feeling super-generous like that. The book normally retails at $13.
95, plus shipping is God knows what, and some authors will charge you ridiculous amounts just to sign the book! I am giving YOU all of that $10!!!!

But, it was fast!! I want to thank all of you for spreading the word and participating! I am OUT OF STOCK of Loving Her! Woo hoo!

I'm so glad that you're all so excited about my first book.


Just wait till Imperfect comes out!! :) I just sent the final copy to VHP for editing! :)

I'm sorry that so many of you missed out, but there is good news. You can order my book at the regular retail price on-line from amazon or directly from my publisher. $13.95 is NOT expensive for a book, thankfully!


Check out the links below to order your copy today!!

I've decided that I will start the on-line book discussions starting on April 1. I suggest you read Loving Her in its entirety, and then go back & read the first section (we're going to do this section by section). This way, if there's anything you missed, you find it; a new question may pop up, etc. Then, on the 15th of every month, I'll host "Ask the Author" where you can ask me anything, whether it relates to Loving Her, where I get my ideas from, or whatever peaks your interest.


SO....Start reading so we can get into some good discussions! :) Happy reading, everyone!!! :)
