Good day to you lovely readers! As you can see, I've already managed to slip into near non-existence on this site only because I've been busy with edits and beginning new writing projects. Oh, and I've managed to pinch a nerve in my back that has actually prevented me from being able to be at the computer as much as I normally am. Sigh... getting old is not fun sometimes! lol
So, first, an update on Vivication (Annals of Ellie #1). The manuscript is completely edited and ready for publication. However, I'm going into a bit of an unusual route with regards to publishing this latest work. I've decided to check out the Kindle Scout program and see if I have what it takes to be selected. Since I'm still in the process of coming up with a synopsis, I've not yet uploaded this manuscript to Kindle Scout for consideration. But as soon as I do, I'll be back on here with a link and a pleading request that each of you go check out the link and put in your nomination for the novel to be chosen for publication through Kindle Scout. More on that in the coming days.
Second, I've begun the manuscript for Book 4 in the Galactic Dynasty series which I co-author with my Muse and husband, E. M. Lohr. The first chapter is complete and it's already taking on an intense feel that I'm really liking. Death, intrigue, and aliens abound... yeah, it's going to be a wild ride and we're eager to get the manuscript written so we can bring this latest installment to our fans! I'll be posting a progress bar on this site so you can keep up with how we're coming along and I'll also drop the occasional updates as more is written.
As for the pinched nerve... yeah, I've not been a happy camper these past couple of months. This happened in early January and I've been fighting with it ever since. I've been on drugs (the prescribed kind ;)), I've done physical therapy, and still having issues. So my next step is a neurosurgeon... hopefully I'll be seeing one in the near future so I can find out what to do now to get this nerve to calm down already. I'm hoping it won't lead to surgery, but one step at a time. Anyway, because of this, I've been limited to how long I can sit in front of a computer. And in fact, I've literally had to move my office to a new location in the house to help with posture and whatnot. Long story!
Anywho... that is what's happening in this author's life right now. I hope everyone's having a great new year and reading lots of awesome books. I've been in a James Patterson and Sue Grafton kick lately, plowing through the Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club, and Kinsey Millhone series like a madwoman! Fortunately there are a ton of books in each of those series, so it's going to take me quite a while to read them all. And that makes me happy!
What books are you reading? Have you read any of the books I mentioned? Feel free to comment away below... I love hearing from you guys!

Teaser Tuesday: The L Section
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
•Grab your current read
•Open to a random page•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
•BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
•Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week's teaser comes from The L Section by E. M. Lohr:
The L Section is one of what seemed to be an endless number of sections in Purgatory. Souls are assigned to a specific section based on some evaluation that is done as they arrive. And the ‘L’ in L Section stood for Liars, Losers, and Leeches. Not the most glamorous collection of souls, but definitely an interesting bunch. The ‘L’ may explain why I got assigned to the section but it certainly doesn’t explain why I was made the Administrator. I think it is my penitence for all my years as a government employee. (p. 1)
This is a very unique take on Purgatory with an incredible twist that keeps you thinking long after you've finished the book. With lots of humor, quirky characters, and sprinklings of interesting stories of how or why various souls were in Purgatory, this kept me turning the pages to find out how this story was going to end! And the bonus... my hubby is the author behind the imaginative insanity!
Have a teaser for me?
Leave a link below and enjoy your Tuesday!

Wuz Up?!
Morning, all!
First, I'd like to congratulate Sheri on winning the signed paperback of Starward! Cressen Books will be hosting more giveaways in the future, so be sure to check them out and like them on Facebook so you'll know when the next giveaway is taking place. I'll also announce future giveaways on here and other sites because I love my readers and followers and want you guys to have all kinds of chances to win awesome books!
Second, I'm making progress on Vagar, the second book in the Galactic Dynasty series. I'm hoping to get the last few chapters written in the next week or two. Then it's deep edits and cover designs and hopefully, if all goes well and my characters are being nice to me, this book will release by the end of summer!!! YAY!!
And last, but not least... whatever happened to The Soul of Arial series? Prophecy Revealed released back in December 2013. When's the next book coming out? Good question. I'm trying to get through Vagar at the moment. Once I've finished writing that manuscript and edit it with my co-author, E. M. Lohr, I intend to pick up with the second book in the Arial series tentatively titled Two Worlds. So, that's the other reason I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get Vagar out to the masses by the end of summer! Wish me luck!
Okies, back to my writing cave. I'll check back in and let you guys know the latest when I come up for air again. Or coffee. Or both. :)

Yes, I'm still here....I think
Good morning, all! Yes, I know it's been forever since my last post and I do apologize. Things have been so crazy and then add vacation on top of that and it's a wonder I still remember my own name! lol
Anywho, I hope everyone has been doing well. I had a blast in Arizona and felt as though I got my head screwed back on relatively straight. Vacay was definitely in order for me. Now I'm back (actually I've been back for a week but have been ridiculously swamped with things I've been trying to catch up on) and am ready to tackle my writing projects with gusto!
So, first up is The Butterfly Connection (The L & L Mysteries #4). I know, I know, I've talked on and on about this book for quite a while now and no, it's still not done. But, I am happy to report that there are only 3 chapters left to be verbally edited. Then it's final formatting and I can FINALLY publish it!!! I will be doing some major victory dancing when this book publishes!
Second, I have made some major progress on Starward (Galactic Dynasty #1), which is being co-written with my Muse (aka, the hubby). We've had some major changes come about, realized we didn't have an entire book to write before the one we'd already drafted, and have taken several introductory chapters and added them into the almost complete draft we'd already done for Starward. It's confusing, but in the end, this is going to be an amazing sci-fi/adventure series and Starward is going to be an awesome beginning to this series!!
Once Butterfly and Starward are off my plate (i.e. published), it's on to The Soul of Arial. This book may be the first in a series but that's still up for debate. I'm at the halfway mark on the first draft of this novel and look forward to diving into it some more once I free up my time from the first 2 projects I mentioned.
So, with that, it looks as though I may have 3 books published by the end of this year...woot! Go me!
As for the business, it's going very well. Two of our authors have already published books in January, A Veil of Shattered Dreams by Rachel Stark and Naked Lady Dreams by E. M. Lohr. Both of these books are amazing, so definitely check them out! Aside from myself, we have two more authors who are finishing up their draft manuscripts and will be submitting those for technical and content editing within the next couple of weeks. I'm so excited to see how they have fleshed out their novels...should be awesome reading!
Whew...so yeah, I've been a busy bee! lol But I prefer to be busy, so it's all good. I need to get back at it, so I'm going to leave you all with a few pics from Arizona. I hope everyone has a great week and I will try my best to get back on here soon with more updates!
