Miss Me?

I know I've not been updating very regularly. I'm sorry, but it's been pretty busy here.  Isn't it always?

I've been working on writing a lot.  There have been other things getting in the way, though. Sewing, yard work, wool work, the like. 

I just finished writing 1,000 words on CCB3 today for a total of 16,000 words written in the book. What do you think of that? Pretty good? Not so good? 

Anyway, I'm off to spin some yarn of wool!

Away Again, Home Again

First of all, Blogger has revamped the look of its site where I type up these blog posts, and I don't really like it much. It makes me not want to blog, but I shall continue on. For your sakes. :)

No, no, I'm kidding. While I don't like it much, it's not that bad.

Anyway, I know I've been rather quiet lately, but for good reason!   I was away on a church service project for a week and had no internet access. Now I'm home again and have internet access and a computer, and I'm busily working away on Cantral Chronicle's Book 3 (CCB3).

I've reached 10,500 words and hope to reach 11,000 by this evening.

I will also be making blackberry jelly, if everything goes as planned.  I hope you all have a splendiferous day.

Home At Last

I'm finally home again. Arrived safe and sound on Wednesday after a 2 week stint in Georgia. :)


The wedding went well, Kate was beautiful, her dress was beautiful, no mishaps happened. Is all good.

I missed my turn on my way home and took the long way home, but it was a way I knew better anyway, so it was okay.

Today we celebrated my birthday.  I left for GA on my birthday so we hadn't had an opportunity until now. We went and saw the Hunger Games (better than I expected), had BBQ, and ate ice cream and cake and played cards (a game called Scum).  Good times, good times.


Not your typical 21st birthday celebration, but it was just the way I like it. :)




Now that I'm home, writing should resume once I finish a sewing project that's due on Monday. 

Almost Ready!

Noble Imposter is coming along well!

Reviews from pre-pub readers are coming in, and they're positive!  So that's always good. :)

I've been working a bit on the third book (CCB3)  and it's coming along well, too. Just introduced a new character.

I'm still in Georgia. We finished all the sewing except a hem, and that can't be done until the bridesmaid tries on the dress on Friday. So we'll call it even. ;)


Now back to writing!

Few Updates

Sorry for the few updates, but I've been rather busy.

Yesterday my editor and I went over the proof reader's comments and decided how to fix some things. That's one of the last steps towards finishing Noble Imposter. It should be released in July or August. Hopefully August. :)


Meanwhile I'm in Georgia. I arrived here on the 9th (my birthday, btw), and I'll be here until at least the 21st. My very good friend is getting married on the 20th and I'm staying with her family, helping get ready, etc. It's a costumed wedding, so there are costumes to sew, etc.

I get a chance, I work on CCB3 (Cantral Chronicles Book 3), and it's coming along pretty well.

Pre-Publication Readers

Three people didn't respond to my emails for pre-publication readers, so I will be selecting three more people from my list. Be on the lookout for an email!

The Pre-Publication Readers Have Been Chosen!

Last night I heard from my publisher that the pre-publication copies for Noble Imposter are in the warehouse!

These copies are called 'Advanced Reader Copies' (ARC). They informed me that I could choose my ARC readers, and I did just that!

I selected 10 people from the list I had created. It wasn't necessarily first come first serve, as I wanted a broad range of ages for readers. I sent emails out to everyone who was chosen, so they should have received them by now.

If you weren't chosen, don't worry. There's another book to go yet!  Also, the readers have until tomorrow to respond to my email or I'll pick someone else, so don't give up hope. :)



Meanwhile, today I've run a mile (wearing teddy bear socks. I know. I'm cool. ;)   )   and now I have to get to work on a sewing project. My friend is getting married this month, and I need to work on my bridesmaid outfit!

I also took a picture of our Jackmanii Clematis growing on our trellis.
