Chapter One – Relative Unknown

Eden Braverman hoisted the laundry basket on her hip. “I’m so glad you’re home.”  She looked into the green eyes of the man who was her entire world.  “Did you mean it when you said you were done with the DOD?” Wolfe leaned on his elbow and fluffed his pillow.  “The Department of Defense is in Wolfe Holmes’

OK. I Failed!

My grand idea was to write write write today and also do my classes. But, something got in the way. Oh, I know what it was. It’s called March Madness! And, the worst part, is none of my teams won… Probably, karma for not doing what I needed to do for my writing career. Since

What To Do….What To Do

Anyone who knows me, I’m a big sports fan….. March Madness….Illinois is playing. what to do. Watch the game. I will get to my classes and social media today.. just not now.

Just Got Back..

I just got back from taking my granddaughter to her doctor’s appt. I forgot my iPad so I couldn’t continue my classes, but I’m home now, so off to my class, in a minute. Oh, I just had to cancel my first meeting with the local writer’s group. I’m really disappointed and hope they won’t

I’m Torn!

I just got an author page on Goodreads and now have a blog there, too. I will continue to write on this blog, but also, take a look at my blog on Goodreads. It advertises my books, gives me a path to follow to more exposure, and helps with marketing. Today has been a busy

Just Got Out of Class

I just got out of my “marketing my novel” class with John Fox. It’s daunting but I’m taking a new look and direction about it. Marketing needs to be challenging but fun. I plan on doing just that. I sat back long enough. I have 3 novels that can be purchased through B&N and Amazon,
