What's Happening...

I've just finished the 2nd round of edits for Fireborn Publishing on HIDDEN HEARTS 1: Harder & Harder To Breathe. I've done and sent them back to Jamie D. R. 

I was going to end this series with book 2: One Last Kiss Goodbye, which is really the first book I wrote in this series (This title was previously released through Silver Publishing, but has had a major rewrite and extension). Hopefully everyone one will enjoy this version as much as the last.

During these edits my wonderful editor has been giving me ideas to extend the series as she'd like to hear Travis's story. Let me know if you feel the same way... and I'll work them into my writing schedule.

I've heard back from Annette S from MLRPress about the galley on THE LINES OF MARSDEN 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces... I should expect galley next week after Kris J gets back from GRL. It will give me plenty of time to get it done before the release date. Speaking of MLRPress, I'll be working on a lot of my next books in 2016 in these series: 

Experimentals

Lancaster's Way

Sons Of Evenmore

The Lines Of Marsden

Toowoomba Boys

Pissed Off To The max

**RANT ON** Why is it when you tell a fricken company you don't want to change your broadband network... they just swap to a different number and start calling you again.... in the last week they have used 4 different numbers on me... I'm going into see Telstra today to see what can be done about it as my mobile (cell) number is on the DO NOT CALL register. I'm going to be cranky as a twice cut snake if I have to change my number just to get rid of the calls. **RANT OVER** Thank you for listening.

My Thoughts...

These days I have a lot on my mind. Sadly most of it has nothing to do with writing. My home life has taken over control and won't give me peace until they're damn well ready.

While the husbands been home I've been getting all the jobs done that needs doing. we are building a fence, (mind you, I've left that one mainly up to my husband). But we have also been working on the renovations in my home office... plus my hubs built me a rolling pin hanger, (I have one with skulls on it and two with bats) for me they are merely decorations as I neither cook nor eat sweets.

I also had to buy a new TV and a new washing machine. Why is it all the appliances seem to go at once? and my husband built me a box to sit the bar fridge on so that it stands as high as my normal fridge and freezer. We're trying to get everything set up before my husband goes back to New Zealand to work as he could be gone for six months.

Tomorrow night I have to be at the high school for my son to choose his electives for next year... he's going from grade 9 into grade 10. I think he's going to pick the more hands on electives like automotive, engineering, and HPE. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow night.

Emily is studying like a trooper as she has to sit uni exams in 2 weeks. mind you she is changing her Bachelor after the exams have been sat... she will be going from business to nursing (mainly because she struggles with the accounting parts of business). With the amount of times she has been in hospital she should be pretty good at it.

It's been stinking hot here and it's only spring. If this is a portent for what summer is going to be like then I don't want it... Mother Gaea please take it back. Another job we've accomplished is adding another tank to our place. Hopefully we get enough rain to fill them as I hate switching over to town water as it always smells and tastes like chloride.

I have been taking it easy for the last two days (besides edits of course) working my way through the Harry Potter movies. The amount of times I've watched these things there are parts I swear I've never seen before. Mind you it's good to see how the characters grew up. Mind you I think of the Slytherin people changed completely in different scenes. I'm enjoying them non-the-less.

EDITS & Other Things

I've spent most of the morning doing 1st round edits for Fireborn Publishing on my series HIDDEN HEARTS 1: Harder & Harder To Breathe. I've done and sent them back to the Amazing Jamie D Rose.

Also I've applied to attend a convention here in Australia on the Gold Coast, so only about 2 hours away from where I live. the convention is Readers & Writers Down Under. I'm just waiting to hear back from them to see if I got in or not.

I'm still waiting on MLRPress to send me galley proofing on THE LINES OF MARSDEN 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces. The book is due for Release on November 6th. I'm hoping to receive them over the next couple of days.

BAS Is Done & Other Things

I have one major lot of BAS still to do in the beginning of 2016 for: October-December 2015. and then that will be the last of it until EOY tax time in July... I can't wait. I feel like I have been doing taxes non-stop since 2007.

The hubs is getting gear together to take back to New Zealand with him when he goes. Big job, but it has to be done. At least we got some of the renovations done around the house and about a third of our fencing put up. Mind you he's here for another 2 weeks.

I have a major arse-kicking headache today, which I'm assuming is basically from spending all day doing Taxes yesterday... Except for the two hours where I had to go to Officeworks in Toowoomba and buy a flatbed Canon: CanoScan Lide 120 just to be able to scan all dockets and crap for my book keeper to deal with.

Today I'm still working on sorting out the files on my computer so I can make a fresh start in 2016. Some stories I've just deleted while others I've made notes on and filed them away in my BACK BURNER file. These are the stories that I'll eventually get back to one day... I don't have a set plan for 2016... but I'm hoping to at least get 12 books out to you all.

For the rest of 2015, I'll be concentrating on NaNoWriMo (Somebody Told Me: 30K, & Day Walkers 1: The Real You 20K) and finishing off The Connelly Chronicles 2: Beautiful Goodbyes. Hopefully I will be able to get it all done and completed on time... WISH ME LUCK.

Em's Turn...

For Mum because I skip over them

 whenever they play in the car.

ENJOY!!!
