The Mind Entangled
I have finished Part One of The Mind Entangled, a short story series that I started a couple months back. It came out pretty good and even longer than I expected it to be. Of course, it still needs to go through a final round of editing, but I'm very happy with the results.
My intention is to have it up and available to the public for download on May 20th. Watch my blog, my tweets, my fan page, etc... for more updates.
The Mind Entangled
After living what seemed to be a perfect life with the perfect man, Adrianna makes a life shattering discovery. When his supposedly dead family shows up, disturbing truths come to light. Everything about her life was a lie, especially her husband. Through powers unknown to her, Torstein controlled every move she made, every thought she had.
With her life falling to pieces around her, could only focus on one thought. Not who her husband was, but what...

Socks for Japan
In my previous post, I mentioned that I was attempting to get others to donate socks for the folks of Japan.
Since that time, I was able to convince my boss at work to allow me to see if any of my coworkers wanted to participate with me in sending a collection as well. Many have agreed and I'm excited about sending them out soon.
Just yesterday, the GM brought in a big package and let me know that the company has agreed to pay for the shipping so that I didn't have to do it out of my own pocket. This was a huge relief because it was going to be expensive but I didn't mind at all.
After I received that bit of news, my coworker informed me that because of me, she got her entire girlscout troup to participate as well. Each of her 34 girls are getting their parents to go to their works and collect more for the donation pot as well.
Today, another coworker informed me that he found a big box of slipper socks (48 pairs) that he's going to bring in on top of what he already donated.
This show of support really touches my heart and makes me so happy. It's one thing to give money. It's another thing to give a bit of love and kindness...
Please visit the site, Socks for Japan, and show your support as well! It's much needed and greatly appreciated!

Donate some words or socks!
I'm trying to encourage fellow authors to donate a few words or some socks for the victims of the most recent tragedy in Japan. Both words and socks are quite comforting and appreciated in such terrible times.

My Book Blog is up...
and running! That's right. I've started up a book blog for indie authors. I love supporting other indie and self-published authors. So far I've had a few authors ask me to review their work and I enjoyed their books very much. I'm working on getting some more right now. Drop in and follow my journey into blogging. (It's my first time so be gentle!)

R. A. Evans, author of Asylum Lake approached me to see if I would be a guest blogger on his site. I reluctantly agreed, having never blogged a day in my life. I did put together a little something on how to break past writer's block. Check it out.
