HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's hard to believe another year has slipped by. On January 12th it will my blogs first anniversary,and much has happened since then. My first novel, Wickedly They Come has been published by Black Opal Books. With my second novel, TALLAS to be released in February. Black Opal Books is a small press and they are wonderful to work with. And they are accepting submissions.

 I have been extremely fortunate to be represented by The Belcastro Literary Agency. My two fantastic agents, Sharon Belcastro and Ella Marie Mohan Shupe have helped me tremendously with my writing. (Ella Marie--love your suggestions. You and Sharon are always right-on)

 I am a writer. I am truly humbled to be an author. I am working harder to become a better writer than a year ago. For me writing doesn't come easy. It's a process of exhaustive mental contemplation. 

 I am very grateful to have met so many online, supportive friends over this past year and hope to meet many more. I feel like we've become a great, big family!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


If anyone is interested in helping me with a a cover reveal during the month of January, please let me know.

      Alex, actually it's been 6 months since the release of my debut novel. But time flies. Thank you for your help.

    Happy One Year Anniversary Blogging! It's been great getting to know you this past year and I wish you all the best in 2014. I'd love to help with a cover reveal. I see two others have already offered - I don't know if you do more than one, if so, let me know :) Or you're more than welcome to visit my blog to promote your new release any time you'd like.
