It's Been a Few Days...

Hello my wonderful readers....while there are some of you who have stuck with me through this difficult time, these difficult years, I want to express my gratitude to you.  Those who are new, I say welcome.  I have changed some direction from the last time that I self-published.  I am more...deliberate, less...impulsive in my attempts to bring you the stories that flow in my head.  Perhaps that comes with age.  Perhaps that comes with the emotions that grief brings. 

I was always 'daddy's girl'.  I idolized my father.  Sure, we disagreed, we clashed a lot, but that was because we both have a penchant for being stubborn when we think we are right.  Who really knows?  Still, the loss of my father has brought about many changes in my personal life.  Life is an interesting journey full of so much, whether bad or good.  So, without further ado, here is a short unofficial synopsis of Winter's Echo: Mark of the Gods.  

Synopsis

When Eilif, a Viking warrior turned vampire in 899 AD, is hired by Raymond Astor to secure political gain, he encounters his next intended target—Linnea Johanssen.

Linnea, a recent arrival to the National Archives, brings with her unparalleled skills in Norse runes, Norse mythology, and historical analysis. Plagued by dreams for as long as she can remember, Linnea's new role as an archivist seems like the perfect escape. But her dreams hold the key to unlocking the truth behind the ancient marks that bind them to the gods.

Eilif, hardened by centuries of immortality and the guilt of having killed his beloved Anneli, is stunned when he meets Linnea, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Anneli and has the same birthmark—a mark that Eilif himself bears. Faced with this haunting resemblance, Eilif must grapple with his past and decide what path to take. Will he protect Linnea or use her to further his mission?

NaNoWriMo Day #9

I just completed 19,545 words overall on my NaNo Project.  I'm quite pleased and cannot wait to get through at least the first round of edits so that I can begin looking for beta readers!!!  I'm hoping to try to get this in front of a traditional publisher, but I will most likely get impatient and do it myself.  I already have a book cover design for it.  Who knows?

NaNoWriMo Day 7

Day 7 is really a 2 day combination.  Yesterday, November 6th, was voting day for midterms.  I voted, of course.  However, I work overnights, so my shift began on the 6th and didn't end until the 7th.  That's how I end up having to combine days.   I'm now at 18,686 words.  I'm hoping to hit the 25k mark very soon.  I realize this post is short, but there isn't much to divulge here.  I have my hands in a few projects, some legacy type projects, but I'm trying to NaNo.  I hope you'll forgive me for the shortness of this post.  Once NaNo is over with, I will be announcing a contest.  I hope you'll participate. Love you all and see you soon!!

NaNoWriMo Day #2

As you can see, I am making significant progress on this second day of NaNoWriMo.  First, I would like to thank everyone for their patience.  Two years ago on October 3, 2016, my father passed away from advanced stage colon cancer.  He defeated cancer once before, but this time, it reared its ugly head aggressively and quickly.  There was no time to fight.  Afterward, I tried to keep up with my writing, but I found my thoughts highly unorganized and unable to flow properly for a story.  Now, that I've had proper time to get back on solid ground, I have two novels on which I am working.  The first is my NaNoWriMo project titled, tentatively, 'Love, Lies, and Funeral Ties.'  Over the coming weeks, I will post snippets from it.  Please understand that all of the posts I make are protected by copyrights and intellectual rights laws.  The second will be a tribute to my father, though not entirely based in fact, will be loosely ba...
