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 :)
