The Return of the Wayward Author

Happy Sunday, all!  I know it's been quite a while since I last posted and I apologize for that.  I've been pretty busy lately with the publishing company side of things.  Which means, the author in me has been MIA for far too long.

Hopefully I will be changing that this week, though.  My game plan, as of today, is to finish editing the first chapter of Dangerous Moves with the Muse and moving on to final edits of chapter 2 of that book.  I also hope to do some writing on Book One in the Galactic Dynasty series I'm co-authoring with the Muse.  And, if my writing flow is cooperating, I may even get back to writing on some of the other projects I've got open.  Yep, I can definitely feel the words wanting to flow from my fingers to the keyboard, so I hope that means that this week will bring my author side back into action!

For those who are wondering just what I've been up to these last few weeks, here's a quick breakdown:

Finished redesigning and uploading the new website for Cressen Books LLC;

Finished content and technical editing on a super-secret project that I hope to soon make a public announcement about;

Worked with the wonderful Rachel Stark, our intern from Shepherd University, on her novel in progress and got to see an amazing cover design for her novel (it totally rocks and I hope to have a cover reveal on the blog here soon);

Rachel has also been helping us edit the Muse's upcoming novel, Naked Lady Dreams;

And I just finished a two week Sparky-ism Campaign on Facebook to help promote the Muse's novel, The Drill Sergeant's Women.

Whew, yeah, a lot going on that has kept me busy and away from my story writing for a while now.  But, as I said earlier, that will hopefully change this week!  Besides, everything I've been doing the last few weeks has actually been a lot of fun and has given me a much needed break from writing that I didn't realize I needed until I was already waist-deep in these other projects!

So, writing this week, some editing, and maybe even some work on the cover design for Dangerous Moves.  Should be a busy but fun and productive week all around!

And, on a closing note, tomorrow October 15, is my birthday....yay!!!  I have already been told what my b-day present is and have even ordered them (yeah, that's actually plural).  But, I want to wait until they get delivered to tell you all what the present is because I want to actually post pics of these beauties!  I'm so excited, I can barely contain myself!!  Unfortunately, I still have to wait another 2 or 3 weeks before they can be delivered....sigh.  But, I know they are going to be well worth the wait!

Anywho...have a wonderful week and I'll try to post again soon!
