Paperback Writer has been giving a series of workshops on her blog, which are fantastic regarding writing and the publishing business. Check it out. The woman rocks.
Laura's new release Embers is available for pre-order from Amazon! Woohoo!
I splurged and bought the Saving Abel cd yesterday. I've wanted it for months. Awesome album. Every story I write has a theme song. The theme song for this book is 18 Days.

Finally!
Excellent writing session last night. My hero started talking to me. Up until now it's only been my herione. His name is Toby, short for October, and he's been floating around in my mind for at least three years, if not four. I have him in a short story I wrote three years ago. He's been standoffish. Aloof. Frustrating.
But last night, for reasons beyond me (but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth), he started talking and it was amazing. Telling me a bit about his history. Just enough for things to make sense. A HUGE part of the puzzle has slid into place. After I wrote the scene I felt as if I were just gazing at that piece in awe, for hours.
I was so excited that it took me more time than usual to get to sleep. I'm still stoked.
He's a man of few words, but what he does say speaks volumes. Here's hoping he keeps talking.
Congrats to Alexandra Sokoloff! Her short story The Edge of Seventeen won the thriller award for Best Short Fiction! Anyone who hasn't read any of her stuff really should. She's fantastic.
Okay, back to work for me!

Drive-By!
Super busy!!!! Work has been slammin'! My mother is here helping with the critter since my sitter is at Disney with her family, as well, so haven't had much time for blogging.
But just popping in and blogging from work really quick. Laura has a blurb and the awesome cover of Vicious Circle by Linda Robertson. I must have this book. God. There are so many out that want right now. So many books, so slim a wallet :(
Life's just not fair!
But go over and check ito out.
I leave with you with one of my fave pics taken on June 17th :) , taken by me. This is me and my little critter.
