Broken Computer, Lyme Disease, and other excuses

Yes that's exactly what they are: excuses.

My computer is finally back up and running after a child managed to break my monitor.

I'm on the mend from Lyme disease, although these headaches are murder. I don't wish them on anyone. The pain from a migraine isn't as bad as a Lyme disease headache, and the fact that I have had NO relief from it since it started over a week ago isn't helping my opinion on them.

It seems like every time I get on here, I am coming up with some excuse as to why Saving Avalon is not out yet. The book is finished. It's edited. It's mostly formatted. Why am I not releasing it yet?

I don't have an answer for that. This will be the first book published since I lost my grandma, but I don't think that's it. It's not the fact that I'm worried about what a turn to fantasy would do to my book sales either. I'm not entirely sure why I am stalling.

I have so many things going on right now. I'm trying to be supportive of my son playing softball, but I just can't get into the game. It's so boring! How did I manage to play it for years when I was a child?

I'm starting to get back into crafting since I noticed that my craft page had well over 100 new likes on facebook since the last time I had posted anything. It's too hot to work on blankets, so I have been spending time working on American Girl doll clothes.

This headache makes it difficult to concentrate on anything. I feel like I'm constantly in a daze.

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
