Book Making

Hello there readers!

It has been a long while since I last blogged, and you may have thought I'd forgotten about all of you, but truth be told I have been buried under a long list of projects and have only just had a moment to come up for air.

One of the big developments has been the interest in getting my first novel, Age / Sex / Location, published.  I have been working with a great group of people who are encouraging the project and right now the only thing holding up the train is coming up with the capital to produce the book.  To learn more about this, check out my Kickstarter page here.

Another great piece of news is that a segment of my unpublished novelette, A Giraffe in the Room, is going to be coming out in the upcoming issue #4 of Periscope Magazine.  The issue is titled, "Grin and Bear It" and I'm very proud that my story of a man trying to make the best of a very uncomfortable situation has made the final cut.  I'm not sure what date the e-issue will release, but I'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as it is available!

Well, unfortunately that is all the time I have for show & tell for now.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and that your reading, writing and relationships are all in full bloom this summer!

Don't Wait

I awoke Friday morning to a message from someone whose name was only vaguely familiar. Laying in bed, scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone, I opened the message. It was a quick note from a woman who was good friends with a woman who I have been close to for over a decade. I read it, and reeled with shock. My friend, a woman who had been with me through the best and worst of times, is gone. Taken from this life because of a driver who didn't stop at a stop sign on a country road. "Accidents happen," many say. It's true, but it isn't right. We never know when our time is going to be up. Today might be your last day, or mine. There's no way of predicting what will happen tomorrow... this evening... fifteen minutes from now. There are many tragedies stemming from this simple accident. First, a mother with fierce love of her two teenage children was stolen from them. A woman who was a pillar of support for so many has fallen from their list of who to cal...

S.E Anderson's Celestial is here!

I am so excited to tell you guys about a series I've been reading! The Starstruck series follows a rather disorganized mess of a girl as she traipses across the multiverse with aliens. Sally gets into SO many interesting situations, and these novels are packed with snark and wit that keep you turning pages and wanting more. Celestial, Book Four in the series will be released October 9th, and I'm SO blessed to be a part of S.E. Anderson's launch team! In Celestial, Sally is still trying to get back to earth with her friends Zander, Blayde and Nim but something goes horribly wrong and they end up lost on a strange world where Sally is mistaken for the local's goddess! I can't wait to read and review this latest installment in the Starstruck series. S.E. Anderson is a young writer brimming with charm, and I know if you pick up her books you'll fall in love.

Only Two Weeks Left

Well, I've made it through the first month of fundraising for my novel, Age / Sex / Location  and the fundraising process continues to surprise me!  Through the generous backing of 8 individuals, $600 of the $5,000 I need has been raised so far and I've been told that there are more people waiting for the suspense to build a little more before adding their donation to the mix. The project has been humbling and inspiring so far; reconnecting me with old friends who are interested in what "that crazy Denise" is up to and prompting others to make steps toward realizing their dreams as well!  It is wonderful to know that whether this fundraiser is a financial success or not, there are people out there who believe in me and who take comfort in knowing that they are watching me as an encouragement in their own projects. There is still another $4,400 to raise, and my Mom has offered to get purple highlights once the fundraiser hits the goal as an incentive to anyone who...
