Killing It

Wow, what a month it has been! Adaline is selling at a record pace, and has already surpassed my 5 year sales goal. I am so very excited to see where things are headed, and looking forward to putting some more time into Adaline 2.0 this summer.

I've also been working on some promotional / sample cover art for "S is for Serial" by my alter-ego D K Greene. Check out my "other" Facebook page for a peek at what is coming! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a fall 2015 release on that one. Mr. Kawaii has started reading the manuscript and it is creeping him out. As long as the plot doesn't cause him to move out of the house ("What the hell is wrong with you?" he shouts), I call that a big success!

I've also been reading, which is amazing. In the last few weeks I've read The Martian by Andy Weir and Kill You Twice by Chelsea Cain.

Despite my love of Adaline, I don't read much Sci-Fi. The Martian gripped me tough, though. Funny, dangerous, and overflowing with "cool" science, I think The Martian should be required reading for kids who are "blah" about math and science. Weir has turned his geekery into a gripping story.

And then there is Kill You Twice. I cannot express enough how much I love Chelsea Cain's twisted series about Gretchen and Archie. Kill You Twice is book #5 in the series, and shows us that there actually can be someone out there that is more gruesome than Gretchen.

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...

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...
It has been years of writing, months of editing, and a lifetime of wishful thinking... and finally the dream has come true. Age/Sex/Location  is now available in e-reader format on Amazon.com , Smashwords.com , and will be coming soon to BarnesandNoble.com . It is very exciting, and I feel truly blessed to have come this far with my dream of becoming an author. I sincerely thank all of you for your encouragement, support, and cheer-leading. You each have helped this writer's dream become reality.
