Working and sipping my Carmel Iced Coffee


I'm back to writing! I've been distracted with a lot of things. The kids started school. It's great! I get three hours a day by myself! No human jack in the box, up and down, chasing after small children for those hours, so I can really concentrate on the latest book I'm writing. I'm working on a third book to Ral. I've hit the half way mark in the book. I always have the hardest time at that point. You can take it to so many places and I have a wild imagination. LOL. I get too many ideas and that's the problem. I finally 'felt' where to go with this one so I'm typing away! There is light at the end of the tunnel!!!


I love writing. It's my escape and my 'special place'. A friend of mine goes to a park when she needs an 'escape'. I don't have to drive anywhere. It's right here at my desk. LOL. I don't have to worry about weather, about how many people are going to crowd my 'space'. It's all good. Between writing I'm checking my emails. You know, people are just so darn nice. I forget that sometimes because I'm at home. My world is kind of small since I'm an at home mom. It revolves around my kids, my husband, the few other people I see in my day when I take breaks to take in some fresh air on my porch, or when I'm playing taxi to the kids. I read the news which is usually grim.
.
Since Ral was released I've gotten quite a few emails. I am actually stunned by the amount considering I was told to expect 1 or 2 at most. Every day since it's been released there are always a few. I'm shocked at the amount of comments and ratings. I've blinked back tears just so touched that people took the time to do that and some of them...WOW! It's up to 19 ratings, 12 comments at EC! I'm just... floored. Seriously. As a new author, first book out, I never in a million years even dreamed that I'd get such a response from Ral's Woman. I have no idea how many people have bought Ral's Woman but I'm just so darn overjoyed at hearing people tell me they loved the story and some of the wonderful things they said. Even the ones who had a complaint said nice things. How great is that???
So... I'm back to Zorn. LOL. Thank you to everyone that stops by to read and to comment. I appreciate it.

  1. You are sooo on a roll! Kudos! Feel I'm finally settled in my schedule and a little orgaziation helped tremendously. Now it's back to the WIP.

  3. It's not often that I come across writers that I get excited about, I think I have about 10 that I pre-order books for. I've added you to the list. And by the sound of this email I'm not the only one that thinks you have that something special that makes readers sit up and take notice. I hope you will always be pleasantly surprised with all your books.
