Want to Read
There are so many books I want to read. I decided to cancel cable in order to spend less time in front of the TV and more time reading and writing. It's amazing how much more time there is in a day without being held captive by the flickering TV. I don't have a flat screen. I'm old school.
I need to clone myself. I hear that's possible now.

Reading is yoga for the brain
I accidentally read Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood too fast. Now I have to wait until August 29 for the third book in the series! I feel like a lost soul drifting in the ether and no place to land.
Don't you love it when a story pulls you in and takes you on journey? When it enriches and stretches your imagination?
When I read The Outsiders in 7th grade I was so bummed when it was over, I immediately read it again. And again. Like fourteen times. Yes, that's a bit obsessive.
While I wait for my editor's notes on The City Center, I'm working on the prequel to the series called The New Agenda. I have to say, I'm totally obsessed with the world I've created and I don't want the journey to end. I want to keep going deeper in.
As a writer, we can only hope others will love our writing as much as we love our writing. Who knows, maybe one person out there will read my books fourteen times in a row.
Read on, Goodreads!

The City Center
I'm down to the last rounds of edits and the book cover design for The City Center.
While my manuscript is with my editor I'm contacting bloggers for book reviews. I won't lie, it's not my favorite part of the process, but I've been in advertising for twenty years, so I know marketing is vital.
In a time when we're constantly being bombarding with information it can be tough to stand out. You just never know if your book is going to take off. But I know for sure that the best marketing tool ever invented is Word of Mouth.
And that is one tool nobody can buy.
