Fighting Back

It takes a concerted effort to start -- 'fill in the blank' -- again.

This has been me. 2013 was the year I allowed everything to get mired in the mud. 

• my weight loss -- I've regained more weight than I care to admit right now
• my writing -- I stopped writing. I was at a "why bother" stage in my life
• my crocheting -- in 2012 and the beginning of 2013, I crocheted over 13 afghans. Major Burnout.

I was burned out on life, so I simply gave up. I did nothing in 2013. 

Well, I did write a couple of picture books, but I have no idea how to write picture books, so they don't count.

Giving up, my friends, is the easy way out. 

I'm too hard-headed and have never been known to take the easy way . . . well, okay, sometimes when I see others make the mistakes, I'm too smart to repeat them! But, in general, I will try to forge my path. 

In honor of kicking my butt into gear, I'm offering . . . 

For FREE!

Click the book cover, or this The Fast and the FAERIEous hyperlink. 

Poor faerie is stuck in a pickle jar! How did that happen?

So what changed? 

I did. Slowly. Since the beginning of 2014, I crocheted 2 afghans and I'm working on a third. 

I wrote yesterday. Considering I've been staring at the same words for almost two years, I actually put new words on the page-- 1605 of them to be exact. It's not a huge amount, but it's a start. 

And I read one Amazon review on FOR WHOM THE BELL TROLLS. . . 

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved all three, but... March 1, 2014

Format:Kindle Edition

PLEASE tell me there is more coming! Been waiting over a year. There is so much left in the story that needs to be finished.

With that kind of patience, how can I disappoint a fan? 

It's time for me to write, DRAGON DAYS OF SUMMER. . . and find a cover artist.

Later, Peeps!

To Gnome Me is to Love Me

Book one, The Goblin's Apprentice

Amazon Kindle
When Kyte Webber finds a very real garden gnome, her life will change forever. Gnomes aren't supposed to be real, are they?

FREE! Lost Leprechaun Loot

On tomorrow, Friday March 16, and Saturday March 17, I will be giving away Lost Leprechaun Loot on Amazon. So if you missed the freebie last week or you want to share this link with a friend--DO IT!

Though it isn't a St. Patrick's day story, it has leprechauns in it . . . and they aren't very nice at all! Yes, this is a Kyte Webber short story. It actually takes place between FROM WHOM THE BELL TROLLS and the unwritten and unnamed book four--all I know is that #4 involves a dragon . . . or two.

Three leprechauns need eleven-year-old Kyte Webber to find their pots-o-gold, but this adventure isn't as straight forward as it seems as the leprechauns want their gold and the reward they promised Kyte, too. They will try every trick in the book to deceive Kyte, but she has a few tricks up her sleeve and plans to beat them at their game.

Enjoy!

And come back to visit on Saturday--I'll have another surprise for those spring breakers who need reading material!

Lost Leprechaun Loot Freebie!

Now that St. Paddy's Day is here, I'm still giving away free copies of Lost Leprechaun Loot!

It has leprechauns, though they aren't the typical leprechaun that you think about when you think of St. Paddy's day. 

It has a dragon, and I have to admit that Zinzara is a little different than your typical dragon.

And it has pixies, lots and lots of pixies.  If y'all are familiar with Star Trek and the Borg, then you might have a little insight into my pixies.

Amazon won't let me give away freebies, so you have to go here, click BUY (pdf is best), and enter this code: XD43F

Later, Peeps!
