After posting my thoughts this morning on my blog, I had an idea to extend my blog into Google+ and Goodreads. This afternoon, I created a Google+ Community and a Goodreads Group where you can read a post then open discussion at either Google or Goodreads. Starting today, after posting an article or post, I […]
Thoughts on Social Media Part #4
Google+. I will be the first to tell you, I am not using Google+ properly. It irks me. Every morning, I sign on line, check my site stats, tweet out my love on Twitter, then check Goodreads, Facebook, and Google+. Facebook I get. I see the back and forth replies, but Google+ is ISOLATED! I […]
Thoughts on Social Media Part #3
So then what is Social Media for? Is it really just another vast room where I can enter to shout across the Cyber lines? Honestly, it all seems so primitive to me. I want to do more. It has so much more potential. It really does! So here is what I started building. I have […]
Thoughts on Social Media Part #2
Social Media. Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Goodreads, Instagram, Tumblr…my god…There really are a lot of them today aren’t there? I still remember waiting for the dial up back in 1996 on our Tandy 1000 that accepted floppy discs. Did your brain just explode with nostalgia? LOL Mine did. It seems such a waste to just sign […]

Linguistics over breakfast
I am working on edits this morning and found a bit of a research issue I have to go back on. I figured I would walk you through my process. The line is: Gudrun eased her grip on the Seidr staff. My editor wants me to change this to Gudrun eased her grip on the […]
Casting the Roles
I’m working on my interviews and one question was “If you had to cast your characters for a Hollywood movie, who would they be?” Oooh! I just had to share! So! Portraying my strong headed Kallan is the lovely Emmy Rossum! And for Rune…the sexy Clint Barton! And for Bergen… Wait! I want to see […]
Update on Dolor and Shadow #4
I just finished editing a grueling chapter. Not hard, just tedious. I am getting ready to start Chapter 57 of 66, but I feel the “Slush Brain” setting in. I am grabbing lunch before I finish this up to recharge and postpone the Slush Brain! I adore this part of Dolor and Shadow because it […]
Exploring Genre
Okay, so it’s 10:36 and I haven’t touched Dolor and Shadow yet, but it’s my birthday! I’m allowed to blow off work today if I want. I have so much yummy things happening and I’m just so excited! First, I found this yesterday on Twitter. It’s paranormal romance. I read every genre and LOVE […]
