I Got Another Contract Contract!!!

GOOD NEWS: One Last Kiss Goodbye has been picked up by Silver Publishing. I have already started on the edits and as soon as that is done I will start on the Blurb and the Cover Art request... I am so fricken stoked it is unbelievable. I honestly thought I would have to wait the full eight weeks to be given a yes or a no. I can't wait to see what the cover will look like.

If I read the contract right it is being released in June on some date that I can't quite think of and am too lazy to go back and look up right at this moment.

BAD NEWS: Is my cell phone blew up - well not so much blew up, it just kind of fizzled out and died, and because of what generation it is I can't get it fixed or reconditioned - so I bit the bullet and went and got a new one... A touch screen - man I hate those sorts of phones, but the ones with normal buttons the numbers were too small so I have to learn a whole new way of doing crap now - it took me 3 months to learn how to answer the last one and now I somehow  have to master a new one. I did the smart thing and got one exactly like my daughters so she can teach me. Regardless I will probably end up in some weird places and call numbers that I have no clue how I done it... so if I have your number and I don't answer TXT MSG or I don't answer then you know I probably screwed something up.

Will You Catch Me When I Fall?

I woke up today feeling inspired and never wrote a damn thing mind you it is only 11 am for me so I still have plenty of time.

I have been thinking a lot lately about falling. and I don't mean the everyday tripping that is just a given for me. My whole body is a map of bruises some days - sad but true story - I have an inner ear balance thing  happening.

What I am talking about is the feeling of having your whole world ripped apart who will be the ones standing there to pick you up and dust you off. Will it be who you expect or someone that shocks the shit out of you... This is what is running through my head of late. I know there is a story in there somewhere... I am just trying to figure it all out in my head before I fill you all in.

I think I would need to come up with a title or an inspirational picture before I even attempt writing it. But I just wanted to share that with you. If any of you have ideas or an inspirational picture, or even a title please feel free to share them with me.

PS... I have been think about On the Flipside of Reverse - Or more to the point my character Tucker - the drunken witch.

Kylfa is not going to have a clue when Tucker walks into his life and turns his  world upside down.

Could you imagine the havoc Tucker could cause in our Viking village - Brislaine is in for a shock when  Tucker winds up in it midst.

What's Up!!!

Okay not much has been happening of late. I have just been taking it easy since I finished both Father's Day stories.

Though yesterday I went and had another tattooing session and had all the outline put in for the final part to my Halloween sleeve - one of the guys that works in the tattoo shop picked it out it is called the pumpkin princess - I think - at least it will match all the other stuff I have going on with lots more bats. I will post a picture as soon as Rodney emails me the photograph so you can all see what I have going on. I didn't even realise I was getting tattooed until I saw it on my calendar but all is good.

What's next on my agenda  in the writing world - well Emily has put in the request that I write The Diamond Rose and the sequel to my freebie Shadows on the Heart - so I have pulled out On The Flipside of Reverse - to work on Tucker & Kylfa's story. I was going to extend SOTH - but than thought no I will leave it as the freebie short story. I don't really want to mess with it and screw it up. - though for Emily I am extending it... LOL.

The Diamond Rose is actually a story where Emily helped me come up with the characters and plot ... she even came up with the title - so if you ask her the whole story is hers and I am just the writer. I have been told that I have to dedicate the whole thing to her.

Out of Time...

Okay I have run out of time to do my blog story today - Real life has a way of taking over when I think I have enough hours - then poof! They are gone.

I have been a busy little person trying to catch up on everything but something had to give and today it is the Blog Story Wind Walkers I will have to get it done for tomorrow.

We have had a full on day of doing yard work and washing so I am completely bloody knackered. Not as much as the poor Hubs and Emily though - as they got most of the outside chores.

I am off now to fold up the mountain of washing and watch a DVD while I do it not sure what yet - Em says I have to watch Part 1 of Breaking Dawn... if she is helping me than I guess that is what it will be.

It's Done...

I have finally finished the MLR Father's Day story and have sent it off to the Beta Readers. Hopefully it will get back sooner rather than later. so to celebrate I am gonna play you a song... and tomorrow I will get around to doing my blog story... I may even change blog story day to Sundays - not sure yet. When Souls Collide ended at 23,470 word count but that could change in editing.

Seriously I prefer the other guy singing for the Goo Goo Dolls, but I do love this song.

Just because Jacob Dylan is fricken HOT!!!

Loved this guys voice - he died too young.

This one is because I lost my Tonic CD and can't find it.

I suspect somebody borrowed it with the intent of keeping it.

For Nancy

When Souls Collide.

Updates...

Today I have just passed the 16 K mark on my MLR Father's Day story - When Souls Collide. I am trying something different with this story as I am writing about cowboys on a ranch in Texas. Seriously finding it hard to think in American for the spelling.

In this story we meet Noah Johnson - owner of the Triple H ranch. 25 years old. who takes in an Australian man -Riley Stuart  22 years old and Kai -  his two month old son .

I have really been enjoying writing this one, though, I think my poor editor might have a heart attack as it is half in Aussie way of spelling and half in American. I will have to swap the computer to American spell check at the end and just go through it before I send it to Kimberly.

when I finish it I will post the blurb here for you all to have a gander at.
