DONE!

I finished Book 3- Keeper. Now just some editing and it will be ready to start the round of test readers. I finished reading it today. I liked it. But it isn't my opinion that counts, it is my reader's opinions that count. I hope you all like it.

Tonight's the night

I will finish Book 3- Keeper! I can't wait to read it!

So Close!

I have either 1 or 2 chapters and an epilogue to go before I am done with book 3. Yay!

Chapter 18 is here!

I only have 1 bad guy to deal with now, so I think that maybe between 1-3 chapters left to go (plus an epilogue) and this will be book 3- Keeper in the bag. I can then start on the second set of this series, Books 4-7. I think that I am going to take a little break in between the end of this one and the beginning of book 4. Not to worry though, I still hope that Fated will be available to purchase next month and around 6 months later Guardian will be, so you will be able to re-read those.

Bad guy # 3 is about to bite the dust

That means only 1 bad guy and a couple of other things (like that surprise I mentioned) to go and I will be done with Book 3- Keeper. Which is good because I really want to read it!!!!!! LOL

On to Chapter 16

Setting up to take care of villain # 3. Only 1 more to go after that. And a couple of other things to tie up and Book 3 will be a wrap as well. I hope that you all will enjoy it. I decided to throw in a surprise very close to the end. I think that you all will enjoy that one since it is a good surprise. It is something that you may have wondered about at the time but have likely forgotten about now. LOL. That is all I will say. You'll have to read it to find out what it is. 

More editing

After taking a couple day break I am back at editing Book 2- Guardian.

I have been working on Book 3- Keeper. When last we left our hero and heroine they were looking to dispose of something evil and our hero was about to experience something that he will never forget, nor probably ever want to experience again. Trust me, he won't see this coming. LOL.

Hubby & I spent 2 hours filling our kid's pool up with air with a tire pump

Let me tell you . . . I am going to feel that one in the morning! Not to mention that it just wasn't very fun. But at least it is done and the kids appreciate it. It was too late tonight to use it by the time that we got it done, but they are looking forward to using it tomorrow. And it is supposed to be a hot one too.

Now I am trying to get back to writing book 3. I feel like I am getting close to being done . . . FINALLY! So far it has taken me 3 months to write this one. Same amount of time that it took to write book 2- Guardian. I think another two or three weeks should do it. Of course, I could be a little off so don't hold me to that. =o]

Editing fun

I am currently in the process of making the edits that my editing guru suggested. The power flickered and I hadn't saved all the changes so I had to go back in and see what had and what hadn't saved. Grrr!! Oh well, lesson learned.

On a bright note, once I have these edits finished I can then focus more on book 1- Fated, when it comes back from the editor and I estimate that I should only have about 5-7 Chapters (give or take) to go before I finish book 3- Keeper. My hubby helped me to solve a problem that I had been mulling over for a few days that should help me move along, perhaps a little faster. I do, however, have 2 more bad guys left to do something with in book 3.

Created the cover for book 6 tonight

I have also decided to change the name. It was going to be renew but I am going to go with something different now. Not going to say yet what it will be.

Let Chapter 14 begin!!!!

I got about a half a page into Chapter 14 done today and all of Chapter 13. If I feel like it, I will go back to writing tonight after the boys go to bed and try and finish chapter 14. My goal this weekend is to try and get through Chapter 15 and into Chapter 16. Interesting things are about to happen, 1 bad guy down and 1 is about to be found out. Then the truly strange happenings begin, that is where villain 3 comes into play. Don't worry, it will all make sense in the end. . . even if it is a strange kind of sense. LOL

Chapter 13 continues. . . .

After a couple of days off so that I could rest my brain I am back to work on Book 3 and hope to finished Chapter 13 tonight. I can honestly say that the brain break helped because I came up with a good idea for book 7 today! Still so much to go in this book that it isn't funny. I will keep plugging away. I'm taking it one chapter at a time. eventually it has to get done, it can't go on indefinitely. This one is my book with the largest amount of villains, and that makes for more fight scenes and more time having to be spent in setting up their exit- or continuation- in the books. I think that you will all be pleased with the finished product when it is done, though. I can't wait to read it cover to cover!

Back to work, not sure how far I'll get.

I'm not really feeling like writing for too long tonight. I just thought that I would get a little farther along in Chapter 13 since I spent last night working on creating the book cover of Book 4 instead of writing. I'm really hoping to finish this book by next month when I hope to bring the first one out. I'm setting up the downfall of the second bad guy in this chapter though I don't think that the actual downfall will happen yet. Then just 2 more villains, a prophesy to fulfill, and more of those surprises that I like to give my readers to sprinkle in left to go. You know you like those surprises, that is what keeps you coming back. LOL

Copyright paperwork

I received the official registration paperwork from the copyright office for book 1- Fated- in the mail today. Happy day! It's pretty plain looking, but it's a work of art to me. Yay!

Book 4

I finished creating the cover for book 4 last night. I already had finished designing the cover for book 5 so now I just need to come up with ideas for books 6 & 7. Any ideas?

Decided on relaxation instead of writing tonight

I think that I will just kick back with my hubby now that the boys are in bed and watch Forest Gump and who knows what else now that the t.v. is able to be used for something other then Nickelodeon.

That means that I will not get any further and it will be Chapter 13 in Book 3 still until at least tomorrow night. Sorry all, but I need a night to recharge my brain's battery power every once in a while. Tonight just happens to be that night.

Anticipating the debut release of my New Era Series

I hope to release book 1 of New Era Series next month- August. I know that it is much later then I had originally planned but I have just been trying to make it a better book for my reading public. I think that you will be happy with the final result when it is published.

Book 2 is out with another test reader and I think that she is enjoying it so far. I have had basically good reviews on both books so far from all of my test readers.  

Some are asking that I hurry and finish Book 3 that I am writing now. To them, I say that I am working on it. I just wish that I could write as quickly as my readers read. LOL

Progress on Book 3

I managed to get to Chapter 13 in book 3 yesterday. I hope that I can get even further today. . . we'll see.

Books I read

I just finished the second book from the Midnight Bay series by Janet Chapman. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I can't wait until the next one comes out! Until then I am reading a couple of books by Karen Ranney. I like her series because they are about Scotsman . . . . I can't get enough of reading about Scotsmen. LOL

My favorite author of all time is Diana Gabaldon and the Outlander Series. Intense read, but very good. And of course, no romance reader can ignore the incomparable Nora Roberts. My face has enjoyed many hours of being buried in her books in sheer romantic book reading pleasure.
