Doubt is a green eyed bitch
I am excited beyond belief. I finally got a cover for Razorback Hollow. This story is a romance that takes place in the mountains. It is not my first rodeo into romance writing, I actually have two other books.
However, something happened, I didn't expect. Well, a couple of things actually.
The first is...I don't know if I’m good enough anymore. Yea, that's right, the little goblin named doubt has shown up with fanfare and luggage. I printed out the Hollow, and I’ve been changing things but thinking it’s not good enough, it lacks this, it lacks that. I suppose my beta readers will tell the whole tale. If they say, take the story and shoot it, hang it, and stuff it six feet under, I’m not at all sure what I’ll do. I could still use beta readers even if you’re a shooter bury them one. All feedback is useful.
My second issue is learning to work in short time frames. My laptop fan is out, causing the laptop to shut off. So, I need to have the ducts cleaned, and I have to make sure my exterior fan is running.
Still ironic, I got used to writing for five or six hours and wanted more, and now, BOOM! I’m relegated to two, maybe three hours. Very frustrating. But I will keep at it.
So, for those who don't know my pen name, Rene' Moore, (my middle and maiden name), I am coming out with Razorback Hollow.
I might also pull my crime thriller AKA Johnny Elf and release it too. I haven't decided yet.
Under my regular name, Elizabeth Bell, I have available now on Amazon: The Hostage and The Oni. I hope to get my 3rd horror, Falcon Ridge accepted, through traditional publishers. Anyone with advice, I would love to hear.
Finally, looking through other projects, I get to pick from:
Ty’s Heart, an underwater romance
Aleya Horror with its own cover about those spooky swamp lights
Morty, a demon romance
Nemo, Dark Angel, an urban fantasy
Hell Cat, a young adult novel
The Lizard Chronicles is also its for young adults
I’m sure there are others in the vault, and it will be how close to being finished they are that will determine what gets released, where, and how, but stay tuned!
Remember, as a writer, it depends on what you can finish. You can’t be a writer if you don’t write!

The human factor
Sadly I lost a young man who was like a son to me and it has thrown off my writing horribly. I'm moving through the stages of grief and half heartily typing a word here an idea there.
I'm still releasing two books that will be back to back. My romance in April and AKA Johnny elf after that I may hold it till the end of the year so I can concentrate on managing Razorback Hollow.
Falcon ridge a horror is finished as a draft and I intend to look at it again in several weeks possibly months so I can go through and tighten it up and do anything I need to in order to make the story great for my supporters.
Enchanted is about 18,000 mark and this is were I'm chugging along like a old car with an engine that can't decide what part it wants to kick out first. I have the cover ( and thankfully a cover model release ) so that is one thing I don't have to do. I'm proud to share it. Alex Calder whom can be found on Facebook and the gorgeous model is Anhelina Sidenko in Ukraine 15.
