A little bit of news.

Things are looking good with the potential new publishers. There are actually 2 of them, I'm just trying to decide which one to got with. I am also working on "Christmas at Windhill" tree. A little short story about Faith and friends at Christmas time. I will let you all know when and where it will be available.

I move along.

"A Leap of Faith" is currently at a stand still. Possibly a new publisher (will find out this week), book 1 and 2 combined into one. Making it much longer, new chapters in the first part, much more detail. Will be done soon and hope to have it out before christmas.

Big changes for Faith!

So after spending that time with the kids in Sacramento I began to think what I could have done to make "A Leap of Faith" not only more interesting but more helpful. So after pondering those thoughts and taking some time off for my son's beautiful wedding, I have decided to make several major changes. Not only will the title change slightly, I am adding a prologue, at least one new chapter, and several new pages to some of the other chapters. Much more detail, more adventure, and more depth to everything. All of the revisions have to be done by the end of the month so that

I can have the new edition to my publisher in time to have it published so it can go to the international bookfair in Frankfurt in October. I might go with it but not sure yet, we'll see. I have a good feeling for the second edition and know it will reach much further than the first one did. I will most certainly let you all know how things are coming along. The new title is set, and half of the prologue is written so it is moving along nicely.

I will be starting on a slightly different venture this week. I hope this will increase the interest in "A Leap of Faith". There will be another chapter added and several other chapters will have additional pages. Hope it works as well as I hope.

Silly question

Whoo-hoo, "A Leap of Faith" is now on Amazon/Kindle for 2.99 that is really awesome.

Now, the silly question, what is the point to blogging when no one reads this stuff?

First review is in

I got the first review today from Apex reviews. I am so excited that it is 5 stars. They added their review to the amazon site. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks.

So I don't know about posting anymore comments, does anyone even read them?

The days are running away from me.

Where are all my followers :(

Not a single comment yet. Wonder how long it took Julia to get comments? Guess I should read the book to find out.

Anyway, busy with three new book and lots of cake orders.

Working on Pitch letters for 3 books and looking for followers, the 100th follower will receive a free autographed copy of the first edition "A Leap of Faith". Come on people follow.

It's Sunday again.

I got my new laptop and have been spending the last two days transferring everything from one to the other. It's a royal pain in the ass. To top it off I didn't put my iTunes stuff on anything as I had thought I did so I have to manually reload 70+ CD. I am also going to put each and every single Cd containing pictures in here to put on photobucket and make one mean screensaver. Once all that is done I can go back to writing. I have noticed that I have allowed blogging to take the place of my journal entries. I don't like that. I am writing those journals for my children, grand childeren etc. so I need to get the journal caught up as well.

Book website is up, Hurray

I just thought I would check and see if the website is up yet and much to my surprise and huge excitement it is. My son want's to be the first to order a copy so he will do it first thing in the morning and I am so thrilled. I can't wait to do book signings and other things. Most importantly being able to give to Phoenix Children's Hospital and the LiveStrong foundation.

It is a day for action

I will spend the better part of this day writing on the sequel to Faith. I will skim over the first 5 chapters and then dive into working. My breaks will consist of taking my daughter to the mall, going to the bank and the grocery store, that's it nothing else. So for the next twelve hours I should be able to get a couple chapters done.

I am happy happy happy lalalala...

All the stuff happening now with the book is marvelous. I love it. I can't say the last time I was so excited about anything, I mean literally jumping up and down and all of that. It's awesome. So anyway my publisher is going to give my regular blog (this one) my book blog, face book, twitter and mySpace a "make over" so it will be all book oriented which totally rocks. Today or tomorrow my book website will be up and people will be able to purchase the book from the web site. I guess it may be the end of next week before it's on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. I'd rather sell books through the website for now. The sequel is well on it's way and should be finished by then end of September to mid October.

THE BOOK IS OFFICIALY RELEASED AS OF FRIDAY 8/21/09. WEBSITE WILL BE UP BY TUESDAY AND LISTING ON AMAZON.COM AND BARNES AND NOBLE.COM WILL BE UP IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS.

BOOK CAN BE ORDERED FROM MY WEBSTE UNTIL THEN AS WELL AS AFTER THAT.

I AM SO EXCITED.

Can I have 48 hours in a day please

Why does it seem like I'm running from the minute I get out of bed till I get back in it. Preparing for the launch of "A leap of Faith", working in cakes, fondant figurines, gum paste flowers, making business cards, working on "A leap of Faith - What happened to Sam" which is under review by Arthur Levine at the moment. Keeping the house spotless as usual and.....it just seems like I could use another 24 hours in each day to get it all done. I need to add a full time job to the list so I can pay my bills in a more respectable manner.

Hurray

I have been busy for the better part of today making gum paste roses and I have a little over a dozen now, they are peach, orange and white. Very pretty.

I am so tired and can't see straight anymore, that may explain while I constantly have to make

spelling corrections, ha.

Well good night fellow bloggers. Sleep well.

TGIF

Hello fellow bloggers,

I actually made it before midnight. No word yet from my publisher as far as the launch date. I had hoped to know today. Two very stressful days behind me and I hope the next two will be nothing but wedding cake, sugar roses, and tamale making heaven. Bussy week next week, looking forward to it.

Am I twisted?

Another day doing my update after midnight, what gives. I will spend the weekend making one if not two trial wedding cakes for my son and his fiance, make a buttload (as my grand daughter would say) of tamales and then on sunday night eat the whole mess.

Come Monday I will return to Starbucks to my daily dose of book work. Plan on having the sequel to "A leap of Faith - A new beginning" done in two months. I want to focus on "Aliese'a". I found a great artist in Sweden who is doing the art work for my weapons in Aliese'a. He send me a rough sketch of her sword...it is incredible.

More tomorrow.

A rare rainy and cloudy day in AZ

Rain and clouds in Arizona. A perfect day to read and write...and make 40 white sugar roses for my son's trial wedding cake.

A new day

Literally, and I know it will be a good one. I took the print proof copy of the book over to my oldest daughter last night. She looked at it for a bit and read some and then she started crying. She said that I have been talking about making this dream come true for almost two years and now it's finally happening. She admitted that her and her husband had gotten to the point of thinking I am a bit nuts (which I really am) cause I kept believing in my dream and now it's become real. She said maybe there is something to positive thinking and believing something special can happen and no dream is to big.

That's true my sweet girl, I think I proofed the point.
