Just taking a break from writing/editing book 2 to give an update on how it’s coming along.  I’m loving the story so far. And I’ve also been in contact with my cover artist and she is set to create another masterpiece. Look for a cover reveal in November.

Aside from my love of writing, I’ve also been dealing with the technical aspect of being published. A newly polished edition of Sunset Rising is now with the printer and will be available soon in paperback. To help get the word out, SR is going on tour with Enchanted Book Promotions from September 23 to October 23, 2013, and anyone can enter to win a free paperback! Once I have a schedule for the tour, I’ll post it here.  It’s my first blog tour, so fingers are crossed (and toes too!) that all goes well. With the newly polished edition of SR now available, I’ve taken the book down from most ebook stores temporarily, so it is currently only available with Amazon. If this causes a problem for anyone, please send me an email.

In addition to the above paperback giveaway, I’m planning my very first free ebook event on Amazon! Sunset Rising (digital edition) will be available free on Amazon September 18 and 19, 2013. I would be so appreciative if any of you could give me a shout-out on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. It’s a great opportunity for those who have marked the book as a “to read” to get it for free.

I’ve written another satellite story, this time on Bron Llewellyn.  You may recall, she is the guard on the sixth floor.  She is introduced in chapter one of SR and plays a minor role throughout the book.  I hope you like the short story and, as always, I love hearing your feedback!

My hubby is still in Afghanistan, but we’re planning a family reunion in mid-October.  He’s been gone 7 ½ months (only 4 ½ months left to go!), so we are all very much looking forward to a family vacation.  I intend to make my daughters climb yet another volcano (took them to El Tiede a few years ago), maybe even two.  Mt. Etna is active and I can hardly wait!  However, I will enjoy it more if I’m on schedule with book 2… so back to writing for me.  Take care and thanks for stopping by!
