Slacking

Okay, I will be the first to admit that I have been severely slacking the last few months. When I lost Grandma, it definitely took some time to be able to write again. I can't believe she's been gone almost six months. That's a long time without my best friend...


Of course, there hasn't exactly been much time for writing either. With my daughter in hockey, I'm traveling every weekend, and then at practice another two, sometimes three, days a week. Thankfully, hockey season is winding down and her last game is approaching fast!


My little sister is also getting married on March 19th. Of course, that means Miss Crafty here is in charge of too much. Decorations. Wedding favors. Dinner counts for rehearsal and reception. Bridesmaid. My son is an usher. The little two are in the wedding. It's a lot! I don't remember being so stressed out for my own wedding!


Oh, that's right. I didn't get married in the middle of tax season and hockey season!!!


Speaking of tax season, after spending 9 years in the same office with a tyrant of a "manager", I changed locations this year. This office is much smaller, but so much closer to my house. The manager is amazing, and I get to work the hours I want! I'm also learning bits of the management work, and I hope to take over within the next couple of years. Maybe even next year!


I am still struggling to finish Finding Her Wings. After losing grandma, I didn't even pick up a notebook until January. Now, I am trying to make up for lost time, but there is just so much going on!!!

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
