I really do need to update this blog more often. Well folks, it has been a long, hard winter. I'm busier than I think I have ever been, but somehow managed to work through editing my novelette length work, A Giraffe in the Room. I received an email from Amazon several months ago suggesting I give their self-publishing on Kindle a try, and I finally caved in. Which is great for all you readers out there!

A Giraffe in the Room is now available to download on your Kindle devices. It is merely a dip of my toe into the self-publishing pool as I try to decide whether I will pursue traditional publishing for my next novel or not. Please feel free to take a look at the sample pages available on Amazon if you aren't sure about purchasing. I think it turned out great.

To take look, here's the link: A Giraffe in the Room. And while you're over on Amazon, don't forget to check out my novel, Age/Sex/Location: Love Is Just A Click Away. It is still available as a digital download on Amazon, or you can order the paperback at Barnes and Noble (or download it to your Nook).

True Midnight Ramblings

Ah, July. Normally a time of constant celebration, this month has been especially trying and filled with sleepless nights and wandering days. I am looking forward to August when friends return from far off places, grief will be a little closer to subdued, and life will begin to return to normalcy (I hope). In a fit of sleeplessness spurred from a sorrow filled day on the horizon, a late-night emergency and lots of random thoughts and feelings I decided to hover around the internets a while until my eyes start to feel a little more heavy. I had received a notification that there have been some updates here on Blogger/Blogspot and so I decided to check them out now that I am left with very little to do for the next 8 hours or so. You may notice that this blog, as well as my other two blogs ( A Smaller Bottom and Meet Your Marker ), has received a sudden face-lift. I was really surprised at the new backgrounds and customizations on the templates toolbar, and ha...

Getting Ready...

... for my very first author appearance in November. It's exciting! It's nerve wracking! It's a great opportunity! It's terrifying! It's going to be a great way to kick off the holiday season! I've got some books on order so there will be copies of both Age/Sex/Location: Love is Just a Click Away and A Giraffe In The Room available for sale. This is my first step into taking my writing on the road - maybe 2014 will include a book tour if this goes well...?

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...
