Editing Complete

Editing had to be done by Oct. 27. It was finished up this week. Until it's released, I am going to be concentrating on my next novel. Still haven't decided what to finish next. There are a couple of possibilities. Also, we'll be moving soon. This is my first major move. I hear relocating can be quite stressful. I'm not panicked yet since I'm a procrastinator. I procrastinate even when it comes to worrying!

Winning Dawn

I completed Dawn's story this weekend and submitted it to my publisher. It's titled Winning Dawn. Next it will go through editing. I don't know the exact release date of yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

So I'm taking a mini break and reading some other writer's works. But I have several other exciting stories in the works. I can't decide which one to finish next.

Light!

I composed my last post on my phone. We got lights the next day. Not having lights really cuts you off from information. When we were finally able to see the news, it was all about how many of us were without lights. Ironic. As miserable as we were, we were very lucky not to have lost anything more than food. I know others were not so fortunate.

As we enter our fourth night without electricity, I've come to realize how horrible television has become. I don't even miss it. This is a truly appalling statement if you know me. My sister once thought I'd never date as my TV schedule wouldn't allow it. Before we had cable, I was our family's TV guide. I knew what was on every channel at every hour. Now so much of television seems to be about selfish behavior and cruelty. Reality TV seems strangely staged. And good scripted shows (I still miss you Moonlight, Reaper, Pushing Daisies, and Good Guys!), don't receive the chance or the opportunities they deserve.

Cover of the Week

The cover of Friends was chosen as Cover of the Week at this interesting blog I discovered tonight. It's called Interracial and Multicultural Books. Check it out at http://www.irmcbooks.com/ The cover art was supplied by my publisher. I really appreciate the mention.

Forgetful Me

I came to post a week ago and realized that I couldn't recall my password! This is sad since I changed my password only a few weeks ago. Today, I finally recalled what it was. I actually write my passwords down, but since I have a toddler, they often get hidden on my desk or tossed into the trash.

Anyway, I'm sure no one wants to hear about my constant state of forgetfulness. For fans of my book "Friends," I do want to let you know that there is a sequel in the works. I'm so busy these days, that finding time to write is difficult. But don't give up hope. It's coming. I haven't settled on a title yet, but I've decided on the basic plot. It continues to evolve.
