New Addition

Posted on February 16, 2012 by

Not to be confused with New Edition (whose songs I have playing in my head now thank you very much)

When I first started blogging or trying to blog regularly, I thought that I would do a weekly feature on hot men, I called it the Hunk of the Week – well …. it didn’t last very long – mostly because I forget to do it.  However, one of my bestest friends in the WHOLE world sends me and some other friends pictures of hot guys at least twice a week soooo I thought why not have her do a hunk of the week post.

For now we’ll keep it clean(ish) no nudity unless that’s what you all want to see heh heh.

So tomorrow we’ll have our very first Hunk of the Week feature by Rose Germano.  Rose is perfect for seeking out hot men, she’s an avid photographer who, along with her hubby, has taken pictures for calendars, as well as landscapes and even wedding portraits.  She has an eye for beauty in all its forms so I hope you’ll give her a very warm welcome.

Also, if anyone is interested in doing a guest post on my blog, or has a suggestion for what they’d like to see, please feel free to contact me I’d be happy to hear from you.

Until Next Time!

Quick Update

Posted on February 1, 2012 by

Soooo I submitted Book 2 in the Dark Wolf Saga to my publisher for consideration and I got a request for revisions back. So I revised and resubmitted today. Fingers crossed, I’ll hear something within the next couple of weeks and have good news.

In other news, editing of the new book is underway and BOY does it need work LOL. What was I thinking? It should take me a couple of months to get it to where I think it should be then it’s off to my beta readers for their feedback and pointers and then I will decide what to do with it. I was thinking of submitting it to a couple of other publishers just to see if I can get more attention, the other consideration I was thinking about was self-pubbing it. I haven’t quite decided yet though.

Lastly, coming up the pipe is another contemporary, the 3rd book in the Dark Wolf Series will be plotted and hopefully begun by mid-summer to Fall, I will be releasing DARK MOON RISING in print as well and there’s a collaboration with a new website that I am involved with where I’ll be writing a serial.

Lots of good things coming in 2012 I hope!

Until Next Time!

1st Writing post of the year

Posted on January 4, 2012 by

Well I am happy to announce that the 2nd book in the Benandanti Dark Wolf Series is officially off on submission.  I’m hoping it is received well as it took FOREVER to finish – I NEVER ever take more than a year to finish a story I am working on, but between my dad’s stay in the hospital to start the year and my cat’s health problems to end it, it seemed like fate was throwing lots of curveballs in my way.

I feel good about this story, I like the characters, it’s not as heavy as the first one.  This one has a little more humor and is just a little more “me”.

So what’s up next?  Back to edit my contemporary.  I love this story and I am heading head first into edits.  I hope to have it finished by the end of February.  I may shop it around to a couple of e-pubs, but I’ve also been playing with the idea of self-pubbing it, just to see what that’s like.

For some of my inspiration, check out my Pinterest board by clicking here.

Well that’s all for now.

Has anyone heard of this?  I hadn’t until one of my best friends posted about it on facebook.  It is really cool, especially if you’re a visual person.

As part of my writing process I usually pick out pictures of people and places that inspire me or remind me of a character.  I keep these with notes in a binder and in a program that another friend bought for me that allows me to brainstorm and keep things like this in order.  Well Pinterest is a site where you pin your pictures to a virtual board.  I am loving the site. 

The website right now is running on an invitation only basis, but if it sounds like something you might like, why not let me know and I’d be happy to pass on an invitation to you.  You can check out my board here (I’ll also post a link on my links page).  Right now it’s at a bare minimum as I’ve just started to populate the pages.

Until Next Time,

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Posted on December 24, 2011 by

So did you guess that today’s song is Silent Night … nope.  Actually it’s from Celtic Thunder and it’s a song about a real life truce that happened during WWI.

Warning it may make you a tad depressed but I LOVE the song and the emotion it brings out, plus the guys aren’t half bad to look at and their voices are BEAUTIFUL.
