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.

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...
