Supernatural Smack Down

2013-05-06T10:04:00.002-07:00

Oh, I think I've "got" the gist of the Supernatural Smackdown. Here are the first two contenders: Thaddeus Sharpe from Steven Harper's newest *The Havoc Machine* and Kyden from Stacey Kennedy's *Werewolves Be Damned.* Both characters are introduced here and there are voting button (giggles). I think Amelie will be posted for battle on May 11th. Dark Faerie Tales

Event Alert!

2013-05-06T07:52:00.004-07:00

This should be very fun. Dark Faerie Tales is hosting a "Supernatural Smack Down" which will be fought in rounds. If I understand this correctly, a bunch of writers have entered their characters and supplied stats and motivations, and a new character "enters the ring" each day, and then people visiting the blog will vote on which characters should move up to the next round. I entered Amelie! Since she's just a little mortal human with a dagger and a sword, I doubt she'll...

COMING JAN. 2014… A Wind in the Night

2013-05-01T17:21:00.001-07:00

It has been some two weeks since we shared anything out of NobleDead.org. Shame on us! The cover and the description for the next volume of the Noble Dead Saga were recently finalized by our publisher and shared by editor. So we thought we would share with you as well. Do not get too eager, as there are still 8 months to go before the release of this next volume. Drop by the site and head into the “Books” section. We will update the listing there and notify you if anything changes. And...

Gardening

2013-04-28T08:58:00.004-07:00

Part of the reason that JC and I chose Oregon for a destination was that we could grow a lot of our own food. Right after we bought the house, he planted two apple trees, two pear trees, three grape vines, and six blueberry bushes. Then we ripped out about a fourth of the back yard lawn (we did this ourselves), and he built me a "bricked" veggie garden. I love it. This time of year is one of my favorites as we are planting and getting things going.

The "Mom" Stamp of Approval

2013-04-27T06:50:00.001-07:00

So . . . my mother called me from my folks' farm up in Washington State yesterday to tell me that she'd just finished reading The Mist-Torn Witches (I sent her one of my author's copies) and that she loved it. She said, "This is the best thing you've written." So, now, when people ask me if the book is good, I can honestly say, "Well . . . my mom liked it." Bahahahahahahahaha!

Mid-April

2013-04-17T07:13:00.000-07:00

Gosh, quiet week around here for the most part. We're getting the garden ready for serious "veggie planting. The apple trees have blossoms. JC is working on a story for the Tales project, and I've been attempting to do some promotion work for The Mist-Torn Witches. As the publishing industry changes, it's getting more and more difficult to get a new book "noticed." My biggest worry is that the novel will be released on May 7th . . . and no one will know.
