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).

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.

Traffic and Triumph

The spring and summer are always really hectic for our family. We own an outdoors-focused business, and unfortunately that means that when the sun is out there is hardly time to write anything. My neighbor yesterday asked how "that journaling stuff" was going, and I must have looked absolutely dumbfounded. "Journaling?" I asked. "Yeah, you know, writing in books or whatever." Long story short, it gave me instant lessons about two things. First, that my neighbor doesn't really pay attention or remember the details of any conversations that we've had over the years. And second, that I need to find the time, no matter how crazy life is, to put some focus back on my writing. My third book has been sitting, half edited, since March. It's about time that I got back at that monster, and what better way to do that then to do what all great writers do when they have a project looming... procrastinate by updating this blog. I'm glad I did log...

Books, Babies and More!

Life in the Kawaii household has been a maddening whirlwind of changes, events, growth and expansion. Age/Sex/Location is now deep within the publishing process, and I am very excited that Brighton Publishing is handling the grunt work in making the novel ready for the commercial market. Right now it is being combed over by an editor or two, and I look forward to getting recommended edits back in the next few weeks. Along with the new novel in my life, it appears that there is a new reader on the way too! Mr. Kawaii and I are expecting our first little reader, and he/she should arrive sometime mid-May. Trying to figure out pregnancy, what kind of parents we want to be, and how we are going to juggle kids and managing our own businesses adds a new set of weights to an already delicate balancing act. Hopefully we'll figure things out and come out the other side no worse for wear. I hope that all of you are doing well in your own lives and that you are growi...
