Well, Amateur Queen Book II is fully underway with Book III in the developmental stages. As I am now working on Chapter 3 of Book II I am very pleased with all that is happening in the storyline. If I only had a few more hours in the day to myself I could probably hammer out this thing out! I know where it's going and what's going to happen. I am so excited for my readers and my characters, who are revealing their inner most secrets to me.
You know what would fun? Is if others posted pics of how they think the characters might look.
Please do so if you like and I'll take a look at them to see which I think came the closest.
Bye for now.

The world's a scary place...
Right now, it seems as if the world is a very scary place. There is so much violence and death, even on tv. Then there is a lot of political upheval. So many global earth changes, earthquakes, volvanoes. It makes you wonder what it all means.
I recently returned from a women's retreat in Chappel Hill, TX. It was so wonderful. You can feel spirit throughout the property. The love of my fellow sisters was also something to be valued. Then to have to leave all that love and openess behind, it was very hard to come back to Corpus.
A part of me is very very sad. I miss my sisters, I miss that feeling of being open, honest, loved, and vauled for who I am.
What do you do when you come home, only to find out that it's no longer your home?

It's finally finished!
Yes, I finally finished my book, and the title I finally settled on is Amateur Queen: Kathrine Meets the Pirates! It's book 1! I'm already working on Book 2!
My book will be published through Create Space and my proof will be here any day! Then I can put it for sale, and anyone can buy it! Also I entered the Breakout Novel Contest from Amazon.com and Create space. There were two catagories, general fiction and Young Adult. I ended up in leaving it in Young Adult. I think that's a good place for it.
On Feb. 25th they will announce those who go on to the next round, depending on my pitch. If I make it past that they editors will read my fist 5000 words. And if I make it past that round they will read my manuscript. If I win one of the two first prize slots I could be published by Penguin and offered a 15,000 dollar upfront royalty.
I'll announce if I made it to round two on Feb. 25th!
Wish me luck!

Helko out there. I'm finishing up my new website to coincide with my upcoming book which will be available through createspace in association with Amazon. I'm very exctied. Things are going well. I'm working on editting right now (the final stages) and am going to enter a contest on Create Space for the Breakout Novel Award.
Well we'll see how everything goes from here. For those of you who might want a preview of my novel you may get that on Facebook. I've posted up to eight chapters there and on inkpop.com, but have no inclination about putting out more than 9chapters. If you really like it you'll have to buy it from my createspace store as soon as I finish setting it up. Hopefully by the end of next week!!!
Wish me luck!
