My new book is about to go live on Amazon!  Here’s the synopsis!

The book is called Seeing Red and is the second in the series I’m writing.  Stay tuned for more news!

Beautiful, hardworking, Desdemona Murray doesn’t see herself the way others do. She only remembers the awkward teenager she once was. The talented landscape designer is hired to install a custom deck at the home of star football player, Ethan Samuels. When she catches the eye of the handsome professional athlete, and he begins to pursue her relentlessly, she is at first, flattered and amazed. However, her heart belongs to a man whom she believes only considers her a friend. Adam Quinn has always been a ladies man, not one to settle down, or so she thinks. Little does she know his feelings for her run much deeper. When Des finally sees both men for who they really are, the choice she must make is obvious. But when she chooses, Des finds out how dangerous it can be to break free from a man who can’t take no for an answer.

Talon: A Wicked Word Challenge

A short story in 42 words:

His transformation incomplete, he sank to his knees exhausted.  With one talon extended, he scratched in the sand:  “I am still a man.”  The pain began again and he cried out in agony as the rest of the talons erupted from his fingers.

Getting down to business and getting back to writing!

So this blogging thing is a lot of fun, wouldn’t you agree?   You get to meet new and interesting people, have a few laughs, hopefully get some insightful comments and genuine support from your blogging community.  Fun aside, however, there are reasons for blogging that are practical and possibly career building.  As a writer, my aim is to connect with potential readers, to let people see a sample of how I write by posting short stories and other mini projects.

I also hope to connect with other writers, to learn about the publishing process, share their experiences and maybe some tips from writers who have gone through both processes of self publishing and/or traditional publishing.  I’ve set some goals for myself for this month, not just for the blog but also for my work in progress.  My second novel is in the very final stages of editing and I hope to publish by the end of September.  I am determined to make that happen!  Watch for a synopsis (coming soon) and a link to the Amazon site!  (This is not the final cover by the way.)


In the meantime here are some goals I’ve set for the blog:

1. Have a guest post or interview on my blog within the next 30 days (let’s say Oct 15). If it goes well, perhaps I’ll make it a monthly feature.
2. Follow at least 10 new blogs in the next 2 weeks and hopefully gain a corresponding amount of new followers along the way.
3. Increase average daily hits by 25% by the end of the year.

Now, the first 2 of these are a bit easier than the third. In fact I’ve already started following some of you lovely people! For the second goal, I am working out the details to interview a new writer who has just published a debut novel. But the third one is not so straightforward. I have to figure out how to accomplish this. Better post titles? Yes. Tags and categories more trending? Also yes. What else? I’m open to suggestions! Thanks guys! Hope you all have a great day!
