Finally Working On Writing

-


This is the new cover that Ida at https://www.amygdaladesign.net/ created for me. She does amazing work and has created several covers for me. 

This year got off to a rocky start, but the waters seem to be settling down. I've finally been able to work on some writing projects, including a 10-minute play that I'm going to enter into Emerald Theatre Company's annual contest. This will be my third time entering. My first attempt was successful, and they picked my play "Is She or Isn't She" to be performed. That play is available for purchase on Amazon. 

I'm editing Ridgway Moon, which is sort of a sequel to Learning to Love Again, and deciding if I'm going to put it on Kindle Vella. I've gone back and forth with it because I'm afraid it won't get a lot of reads there, but I want to put out something new. I'll be making my annual trip to Ridgway, Colorado, on May 26th, so hopefully, that will give me plenty of inspiration to finish the story and get it out there for the fans who are waiting for me to publish something new. 

I've also been getting to do some reading, finally. I recently finished Gerri Hill's The Apple Diary and am reading her book, Hunter's Revenge. It's the fifth book in the Tori Hunter series by Gerri. All of her books are amazing. I usually devour her books as soon as I get them and several I have reread a number of times. I know I'll revisit The Apple Diary, and I'm sure I'll feel that way about Hunter's Revenge. 

I also read The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur. This was the first book of hers I'd read, and it was a fun story. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books. 

I've also got Can't Fight Love by KC Luck on my Kindle app that I'm working on too. 

While 2024 has had some pretty low moments, it's also had some great highs, like getting to watch my youngest daughter, Michelle, graduate from college with her Associate in Science as she works toward her nursing degree. Here is a picture of me with Michelle and her older sister, Jessica, in Owensboro, Kentucky, in front of the Ohio River. 

My other serious distraction but a source of great joy is my great-grandson, Angel. He's a little clip of him practicing his screaming skills. 

 

I hope and pray that all of you are having a good spring and enjoying the beautiful flowers popping up everywhere. I know I am. Next month, I'll have pictures from the Colorado trip, which my partner Rosa is going on, too. She hasn't gotten to go on the last few trips, so I am super excited about her being out there with me. 

Until next time, I wish you all great joy and love.

  114341264   ©   Andranik Hakobyan   |   Dreamstime.com Welcome to a new year, my friends. I am very happy to see 2023 in the rearview mirror. 2023 was a lot of things for me. I learned a lot about myself, and I'm not happy with who I have become. I have become a very unhappy and angry person. Part of that is because I feel that my life has been spiraling out of my control for a long time. Taking control meant making major changes that I have been afraid of making. But sometimes, you have to make painful changes for your mental health and happiness, and that's what I'm doing.  I dug out my Melissa Etheridge CD Your Little Secret  , and I've been listening to four of the songs from it on replay for the past few weeks. Those songs are: I Could Have Been You, Shriner's Park, Change, and  This War Is Over.  Change , in particular, speaks very strongly of where my life is right now. The lyrics that strike me the hardest are: "And so it goes, this...

I'm revising Second Chances for publication and I'll be taking it down from the Royal Academy of Bards in the next month or so. So if you want to read the original version of the story, you'll want to visit the Academy site to see it. Also, as a reward for my fans who follow this blog, I'm posting Judge Not as The Judge on the Academy's website. So if you want to be among the first to read the full story, and read it for free, you'll want to head over to the Academy. There are only two chapters posted so far, but I'll have the entire thing up a chapter at a time. But it won't be there long.

She mad...

The official release date for Sheltered by Love is March 5, 2020! I'm so thankful for my readers who have been patiently waiting for me to finally finish this book. It's been a bit of an up and down road in the writing process, but I'm pretty happy with this story, and I hope all you like it. The story has drama, animal rescues, and a slow-building romance. Here's the blurb that will hopefully pique your interest in the story: Suzanne Jericho let her anger get the better of her, with the result being two hundred hours of community service at the Humane Society’s animal shelter. Chrissy Stein is working at the animal shelter as a vet tech so she can help her beloved animals.  Jericho, as Suzanne prefers to be called, comes from a rough around the edges, hardworking family. Chrissy comes from an uptight political family with whom she doesn’t fit.  Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they have a lot in common. They both love a...
