To new things...1/16/2019 It’s 2019, and hopefully this new year brings great new things to you and your’s. It’s a normal phenomenon that the new year ignites a desire for improvement and I’m not immune, as an writer, a mom and wife, even just as a person I want to be better. I’m working on the second Dragon Chronicles book, and the third and forth. I want them to be the best they can be. When I start my stories, it’s with a burst of creative chaos that I let guide me, which is lots of fun. Planning out a series of books is a different kind of fun, organizing my brain’s chaos and it takes a bit more time. Still I’m hoping to make good progress now that the tornado of holidays is over.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

The eve before...9/2/2018 My book launch party is tomorrow and I am excited. I've always had this predilection to write, and people have been telling me for years to try to get something published. I don't want to count the number of unfinished novels I have, or mediocre poems I've created. But now that I'm finally able to call myself a published author I find that in some ways, I'm glad I waited as long as I did. Sure most of the time, you want to see success in your life as soon as you can. But maybe that is the point. I wasn't ready for success before. Or maybe I'm just trying to defend my procrastination. :)
Life is often that way, you don't see the value of your work or suffering at the time. But later on it's those very life experiences that push you through to the good parts. I love writing, and I'll always be a writer. but now I'm also an author...and it makes me hopeful for the other things I could become in the future. So here's to a relaxing Labor day in the States, a great party on my page, and a cold bottle of wine in my fridge. Cheers my friends, because life awaits.... The Attack Release8/27/2018 I've been working on my Author website for some time now, and I feel like I'm finally finished with posting this first entry to my blog. I'm planning my Book Launch release Party for Facebook this week. I'm also planning a fairy party for some adorable kids and helping my siblings plan a 50th anniversary party for my parents. So the excitement and tension factor is a bit high, but since these are all good things I think I'll just count my blessings. At first I admit to feeling very clueless about planning a launch party, but I've done some research and realized I like my novel, and I like parties so I thought of some fun ideas and I'm excited to put it all together for your enjoyment. I don't want to reveal too much, but I'll have quizzes, and give -aways, and a chance to win a free version of my book. Even though, for me at least, the end of summer always comes with a bit of melancholy this year feels different. My new novel is here and I'm thrilled to embark on this new path that I've opened, curious what other wonderful things can come of it. See you on Monday!
