Coming Soon!
This week we’re talking about our coming soon books for the year and giving you some excerpts. I’ve got a bunch of them coming out, so I’m just going to go for blurbs and link you to excerpts. You don’t want all of that thrown at you, ya know?
Here goes!

IT’S RAINING MEN

The Five Year Plan.
When I started this weird and wonderful journey of writing with the intention of publication, the Redneck and I came up with a “Five Year Plan”. He said it was like any business and we had to anticipate working at “a loss” for five years. We agreed that to “show profit” would be [...]
Where Oh Where Will I Be?
Wow … after reading Loribelle’s blog post … it got me to thinking about my kids as well. In five years, my oldest daughter will be 17 and my youngest daughter will be 15. It terrifies me to think that I’ll be thoroughly ensconced in …. …. teenagers. Boyfriends, dates, driving, proms … [...]
Still writing I’m sure
Where will I be in five years? Since my girls will be in 11th and 12th grade then, probably institutionalized lol! My hope, of course, is I’ll have a nice lucrative career. A couple books out a year, hitting all the lists.
For years, Army Guy and I have planned on buying a boat when he [...]
Where am I going – am I here yet?
One of my favorite Billy Myers songs goes:
Wrote a letter
to the future
Asking for direction
It came back to me
Return to sender
Where am I going? Am I here yet?
I always felt it truly applied to me. Even if I get where I want to be NOW…when I get there, will it still be what I want?
So today, [...]
I Can See The Future…
This week, we’ll be chatting about where we see ourselves in five years. Ups, downs, and sidewaysies. We’ll chat about it.
The fantasy/dream me: I’m on top of the bestseller list–USA Today, New York Times–yep, I own all of them. I’m rubbing shoulders with Nora Roberts, smacking J.K. Rowling’s butt as I pass her, mmhmm. I [...]
When Characters Attack…
Once upon a time, a completely innocent author was minding her own business writing normal, understandable characters. But her peaceful existence was about to shattered by the annoying prattle of an insistent character. Oh, and said character has no name.
Yep. This is how the story “The Mask She Wears” was created. [...]
I Hate You…You Hate…Me?
Eh…not so much. At least, not with my already published works. I have to admit that I’ve liked all my heros and heroines thus far.
Now…my current work…not so much. I’m beginning to think that this is the story that just WON’T end!! It’s turning out to be the longest story I’ve written [...]
Love to hate ‘em
Unfortunately, there comes a point where I’m sick to death of my characters. They don’t listen, they don’t behave, don’t do as they’re told…they’re like un-house-broken puppies.
However, I start most stories with at least a little affection for them.
Madi – I rather hated her from the first. She’s been in storage (aka on Time Out) [...]
