Ready for some progress

As you may know, I've had nothing but problems with my computer. Crash after crash has made me lose data and an incredible amount of patience, and worst of all, it has made it extremely difficult to actually get any writing done. Even though I've attempted to write and have had a few days of luck with writing down some of these storylines swirling around in my head, the fact that I never know when my computer is going to crash again has made it more than difficult to keep up the writing.

Well, I'm so happy to say that after my most recent computer crash a few days ago, my husband and I decided it was time to give up on that computer and go get a new one. I still need to see if I can rescue any of my most recent progress that I'd achieved before this last crash, but with any luck, I will have some confidence in this new computer and I'll actually get some writing done. I've got a Guardians book, a Legions book, and a new project that are all ready and waiting patiently for me to write them. Guess I'd better get crackin'!

10,000 reads? Holy crap!

When I woke up this morning, I groggily logged on to my computer and did a few checks to see how everything in my author world is going. When I checked out WattPad's site, I couldn't have been more surprised that The Highlander's Curse hit over 10,000 reads! For only posting a little over 2 chapters of the book, I couldn't be more blessed that so many people have given my book (and by default, me) a try. With the incredible feedback I've gotten about the book and the support everyone has shown me, I want to give a big shout out to WattPad's readers. You guys rock!

And to make my week even better, earlier this week, I hit Amazon's top 100 best-selling list in Canada for time-travels. Seriously, so blessed that so many people have bought and enjoyed The Highlander's Curse.

You'd think I would have learned by now

I won't even start off by saying I'm a slacker. I know well-enough now that I've started a lot of my posts that way. However, I will say that I'm pretty much an idiot. After my computer crashed and I lost a lot of hard work, I've had one heck of a time getting back into writing. I think it's because in my mind, I know I've already edited and perfect a lot of that particular book, so now now my brain and my characters are on strike for that story. I want to finish it, I really do. I want to have storyline and edits I already did already appear in my document and be ready to put some finishing touches. Is that going to happen any time soon? Well, I'm starting to think "not so much."

Why, you might ask?

Well, I'll tell you. I think it's because I'm trying to force myself. I don't know how many times I've told other upcoming authors that they can't force anything, and here I am trying my best to work on that book because I feel it's those characters' turns for their story. Alas, I just don't think it's going to happen soon. I've got to work on what is speaking to me at that time, otherwise I'm not going to get anything worth doing done. So, instead, I'm proud to say that I just completed my outline for the second book in my Legions series. Between that, the Guardians novel I want to write again, and a number of other ideas dancing our in my brain, I have plenty to think about. Now all I can do is have all my WIPs open at the same time and let my fingers fly for whatever book is talking to me.

It's the hap-happiest season of all

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas is always my favorite time of the year. Not only do I get presents (who doesn't love that, right?) but I get to see family more often. If I can get over my hatred of driving on ice-slicked roads, I even love snow...especially when I get to play in it. :)

In honor of the hap-happiest time of the year, I've decided to offer my newest release, The Highlander's Curse, for a discount. During the month of December, you can get The Highlander's Curse eBook for $1.99 ($1.00 savings!) and the paperback for $8.99 ($2.00 savings!)*.

You can find the discounted prices for the eBook at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The paperback is available at Amazon and Createspace.
*Availability of eBook and paperback depend on your market.

I hope you enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Best-Seller list in Germany!

So excited. Last night I browsed online, only to stumble on Germany's Amazon site. I was more than a little shocked to see that The Highlander's Curse (Legions of Fate™, Book 1) had made the best-seller's list for Time Travel. It's updated hourly, so who knows when I made that list or how long I'll remain there, but just the fact that I even made it on that list is truly a blessing.

 Something else that made me jump for joy was seeing the authors that I share(d) that best-selling space with. I just can't believe that my highland novel made it on that list, especially since it only released earlier this month.

Lots of squee's going on in my house. ♥
