Fantasy, Family, and Publishing. What could go wrong?

July is quickly slipping away and school is right around the corner... W-W-WAIT!
I'm squeezing in a vacation!! Yeah! Me and the boys are at the beach! Time to take a break, relax, actually get to finish reading a few books, and maybe sell a book or two (I'm doing an experiment. I'll let you know how it works out!)

But, that doesn't mean I'm neglecting my BROKEN BRANCH FALLS Blog Tour! Here's the line-up for the week (and I will have more time to visit you all, too!)

Monday 7/28 - My Dr. Faerie Godmother and yours, Rena Rockford is interviewing me about Publishing!


Wednesday 7/30 - I'm stopping by Mary Pax's normally sci fi pad and flowering it up with Fantasy! Looking forward to yet another release from her soon!

Then, NEXT Monday 8/4 - Dana invited me to her sweet, sunshiny blog and I'll be talking about Fitting writing into a busy schedule!



And I want to share with you all Elsie Elmore's awesome cover! I was just at her place for my blog tour, so I'm happy to return the favor - then again, when it comes out in Sept! It sounds awesome!

THE UNDEAD: Playing for Keeps by Elsie Elmore

Genere: YA Paranormal

Publisher: Curiosity Quills

Cover Artist: Alexandria Thompson (gothicfate.com)

Release Date: September 3, 2014

Sixteen-year-old Lyla Grimm has a new talent - resurrecting the dead. Which draws the attention of Eric, a Grim Reaper with a guitar and a chip on his shoulder. While Lyla navigates the gossip-ridden school halls, Eric works to gain her trust and discover why Death’s clients aren’t staying down. If she passes on her gift, his death-messenger destiny might be altered. But the closer he gets to Lyla, the less sure he is of his plan. The dead are way easier to deal with than the living.

Gossip explodes, the Grimm family implodes, and desperation goads. Death wants the gift and a soul. Lyla and Eric face hard decisions with hidden consequences. Sometimes life’s choices aren’t really choices at all.

Bonus - First Line: My stomach drops when I see the dead woman lying on the table.
