December

It’s December already. This year just flew by it seems. Time for me to get out my ‘Christmas Movies’, Die Hard and The Santa Clause. Christmas just isn’t Christmas without Hans falling from the Tower and Santa falling from Scott’s roof. 🙂

My T.L. Books should be in Ingram Spark before the end of the month. Got the ISBNs transferred. Sharon’s working on it.

Still running the naming contest for book 5 of Elemental Voice series. If you got a good name for a vampire matriarch, her vampire PA, her vampire head of security, a human villain, or a morally grey vampire assassin give it a try. You may win a signed book or a signed bookplate as well as being mentioned in the author notes. So put your email and the name(s) in a comment.

Bone Whisperer is still setting on that final chapter. My muse is just not cooperating. I wrote two sentences the other day cause I sat down with her and wouldn’t get up until something was down. So I’m going to have another sit down with my muse every night until I finish BW. That prequel vella can wait, though I do need to update my vellas. And get started on Ghostwolf 3.

Speaking of Vella, I got a nice bonus for October. 80% more than September’s. So I’m happy. I’m going to be playing more of the pay-to-play token promos this month. At least I’m going to try. See if I can get more reads. If I don’t play any promos I don’t seem to get any reads or very few if I do get any reads. I’m also going to do more of the ‘free’ promo groups. But I need to think of a good copy/blurb to use when I do that.

I’m going to try to go back to writing my blog every fortnight. Seasonal Affective Disorder has been affecting me, getting dark early and the cold. While I usually write more during the Winter, I still get more depressed and withdrawn during this time. My writing helps me as does reading books and watching movies to get undepressed. 🙂 But it doesn’t help the withdrawning. My best friend died this year and none of my other few friends are that close, either in proximity or emotionally. My pen pal is a help in that as we write little notes to each other every week. I love getting and sending snail mail. There’s just something nice about getting a note or postcard in the mail that email just doesn’t do for me. I wish I had more than one pen pal though.

Stay tune for my next installment.
