Big Changes!
After careful consideration and some not-so-careful jumping into things due to unforeseen situations, I am transitioning When in Maui and Immersion to a new publishing label, Blue Deco Publishing.
...My new label.
... I am starting a publishing company.
This will be a slowly but surely process as I get my bearings, but we've got a great start already, and I'm sure things will come along nicely as we move forward. And thankfully, I get to bring all of my own books over to the label, even the Writing at the Ledges anthologies!
So watch out for Blue Deco Publishing to show up in your feeds soon!

Mo' Writing! Mo' Writing! Mo' Writing!
Ok no, the title really had nothing to do with what I wanted to write about in this blog post, but it made me giggle... and probably dated me slightly for those of you that know where that's from.
So, it's September. The summer has calmed to a dull roar as it's on its way out, and I am starting to get my mind wrapped around writing once again. This summer was especially crazy with life stuff. So, I'm exceptionally itching to write some more now that things are calming down... time to clean off the desk and get the laptop back into place!
For those of you that won the giveaway, I should be receiving those copies soon and will sign and send them your way asap! I hope you enjoy reading When in Maui as much as I enjoyed writing it!
My next novel is still being first edited by me... summer slow-down. However, I'm back to working on it and will be submitting the first three chapters to a different publisher soon; one that asked (excitedly) to see it. Which, I am just as excited to see if they will take on the book and run with it like I see it going. I KNOW you all will love it!
NaNoWriMo is coming up. A month and a half away, and I'm starting to toss around which project I want to focus on for the month. Start a new project? Finish When in Maui 2? Finally take "The Long Summer" into a full length novel like it's fans have requested? Finish one of the projects I have sitting in line? Decisions, decisions! Ok... someone come over and scan through my folder of writing things and help me decide! Hahaha!
Anyways... time to keep working. Don't forget, if you have a blog and a decent number of followers and would like to review When in Maui (thus receiving a free e-copy), let me know! I'm compiling a list to have my publisher send out copies!
Happy Reading!

The Starting of a New Blog
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...
Here we go... the starting of a new blog. I did a little blogging of my thought a while back, but I didn't really keep up with it. However, in order to keep you all updated and informed, I'll do better on here :)
My adventures in writing... right now? When in Maui is going out to book shelves and on site shelves around the world. I feel like it's gaining popularity, and currently, I'm looking for a few reviewers and bloggers that are active and have a decent audience. My publisher would like me to bring them a few names so they can send copies out for reviews and blogs. Also, there's a giveaway of 6 signed copies on Goodreads. If you sign up for that, i wish you luck!
I just submitted a short story to Silence in the Library's Athena's Daughters II anthology. They emailed back and said they accepted to read it. So I'm looking forward to hopefully hearing that it's accepted into the book!
My next novel is finished... well... first draft. I'm running through for first edits. Then... ON TO THE PUBLISHER'S!!! It's a tech thriller. I'm still toying with the name though.
My next project? Finishing book 2 of When in Maui. I'm about 150 pages in, and I would LOVE to keep telling Alice and Vivianne's story. Plus... many of you that have read it have asked for more.
The writer's group that I belong to, Writing at the Ledges, I've linked two of our anthologies on my author profile. Copies are available. If you like a variety of things from poetry, short stories, comedy, memoir, etc? Check those out! We have an idea we've started working on for our next anthology, and I'm VERY excited about it!
An online writer's group I belong to, we're working on an anthology of sorts, too! It's the first for the group. About 18 authors all writing a bit that will become parts of a full book story when put together. I'm super excited to get a little further in the project so I can tell you all more!
Ok... that's probably enough updating for now. Happy reading. Happy writing. Enjoy!
Good night :)
