Go Hawks!

The week is halfway over. My daughter's musical is over. The performance last night was definitely cute, but she was upset that the girl cast as the lead messed up her lines (of course that was the part that my Hayleigh wanted).
Tonight, I have awards night for my older two children. I am excited to see what they will walk away with, but I regret to say that I will be glued to my cell phone during the ceremony.
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Play-offs is tonight. 
As a hockey family, we take the sport very seriously. My children know that I will be preoccupied with the game, but I will put my phone down to take pictures of their awards.
Speaking of hockey, we have less than two weeks before my daughter's summer hockey league starts up. As much as I'm not looking forward to waking up at 6 am two days a week and dragging out five children for a 30 minute car ride to spend an hour in a hockey arena when the little children will be monsters, it's important to Hayleigh, and I will support that.
Despite the busy week that we have had this week, I do believe that I have finished Self Inflicted, and started on the next book in the series. As I approached the end of the book, I decided I would turn it into a series. Book Two, which is tentatively titled Scars Fade, is off to a good start.
I still have a lot of editing to do on Self Inflicted before my deadline of June 16, but I will be able to complete it in time. I just hate the editing process.

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu

The Fate of Saving Avalon

When I first ventured into the world of fantasy with the Saving Avalon series, I admit I was skeptical at first. Although fantasy is usually my chosen genre when I am reading, I had never written something like it before. Everything was new to me. Finding Her Wings didn't sell as well as I had hoped. Yes, part of it is my fault because I am so horrible at marketing. Then as I sat down to start on book two, I decided that the antagonist in Finding Her Wings is not such a bad guy after all. Most of book two was spent redeeming the past actions of this character. Of course, a demons actions cannot be redeemed in only one book. He will constantly be trying to prove that he has changed. Now I am struggling with book three. I thought I had a title and general plot figured out, but now I am not so sure. I'm missing writing about my social issues. I miss the characters in my Self Inflicted Saga. I think I need to revisit them for awhile. I need a break from Saving Avalon.

From the Corner of Her Eye is available for presale in the Kindle and Nook store! Release date is tomorrow! When I first started seriously writing in January, I never would have believed that I would already have THREE books available in just five short months. I already have a start on a brand new one! In addition to writing, most of my time is spent with my children. There are five of them, and every single one can be a handful, but put them all together and I go insane! My two year old is well into her Terrible Twos, and now has the nickname the Madi Monster. It's definitely fitting. Yesterday, I was scribbling down some ideas for Self Inflicted, and she decided to stuff a rubber duckie down the toilet. Later in the evening, I had given her a bath. While I was cleaning up the bathroom floor from her splashing mess, she decided to head out the back door of our house...butt naked.  I love her to death, but is it too much to ask to get her to take a nap so I can get some work
