Last of May

This month is almost gone. Another week and it’s a new month.

I’m almost finished with Emergent, a book in the Time-Lost series. I hope to get it done before June but it may be a little into the month when I do finish. Then I have to wait 30 days before I can publish it as an ebook/book on Kindle. I’m also moving along on book 2 of Bone Whisperer. Book 1 of OF Curses and Gods is coming along too. IF nothing else Vella helps me write more on a timeline than just winging it.

Speaking of Vella my bonus was not so good for April. Of course I didn’t have a lot of reads nor it seems a lot of reader participation so I’m hoping I get more this month. But as I said before whatever I get is gravy. I’m getting paid as I write so that’s a good thing. Am I disappointed? Yes, but at least I’ve gotten something.

Two weeks and I’ll be at Between The Pages Writer’s Conference in Springfield, MO. Can’t wait.

Hopefully I’ll get my new glasses this week. They said two weeks and Tuesday the 28th will be 2 weeks. My normal pair broke. I’m wearin’ an old pair right now. I’d be nearly blind without them. I can read without glasses but anything past my nose starts to blur. I can’t even see the chart on the wall, much less that big E without glasses. The frame is pretty but it was hard for me to tell if they really looked good on me since I can’t SEE. Mom liked them so I guess they will do.

I’m gonna have ta see about a new author photo. Can you believe my old one is over 20 years old? And with new glasses coming I think I should do a new one. I may get one at the BTP conference.

Have you read A Playground of Bones yet? It is a mix of paranormal murder mystery and paranormal women’s fiction. She is not a 20 something nor is she in her 60’s but she is an woman in her late 30’s, early 40’s with some life experience behind her. I added a bit of local history to the mix of folklore I used for this book. If you’re looking for your next read, try out my book, A Playground of Bones.

Still running the naming contest for book 5 of Elemental Voice series. My Muse is as I said being fickle and only giving me bits and pieces right now. Which is going in the book bible. I am looking for inspiration into their personalities through names. Are they pompous, pretentious, practical or precocious? My muse is givin’ me some vague ideas right now. I’d like to flesh them out a bit. 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 whichever you choose as well as being mentioned in the author notes. So put your email and the name(s) in a comment if you think of one.

Stay tuned for the next installment.
