    Saturday Showcase – Upcoming Releases!

    I\’m so excited.  I\’ve been emailing around the interwebs and am tickled pink, purple, and yellow to report that I have TWO surprises for you coming in October!

    October 19th, author Tina Holland will be coming to KK to talk about her craft of scrapbooking.  Tina is a trip – she lives on a self-proclaimed \”hobby farm\” in Minnesota, writes sexy romances with the tagline, \”Have You Been Naughty Today?\” and hopes one day to open a bed and breakfast with her husband, a pilot and something of a mad scientist himself.  My kind of people!

    When I asked Tina what crafts she likes, she said none.  None?  NONE?  Well, scrapbooking.  It\’s really her aunt\’s passion, she told me, but from the sounds of it I think Tina qualifies as a crafter.  Have you seen some of these scrapbooks?  But I want to know more about why she focuses on writing and what niche it fills for her in terms of creative expression, and how that ties in with scrapbooking.  I can\’t wait.

    On October 26th, author and textile artist Maddy Barone will be coming to play!  I so want to marry Maddy and hide her away as my kept woman to write books and make stuff.  Multi-talented, she can design period clothing, knit, write awesome books, and I wouldn\’t be surprised to find out she can do magic too.  We haven\’t yet managed to meet in person, though we\’ve talked on the phone, but one day I will make her part of the Noonypod.

    Noonypod.  I just made that up.  I love it!  ðŸ™‚

    Now, don\’t be like that.  You won\’t be assimilated, silly!

    At least not until October…  o.O…

  • One, Two, Three, FOUR!

    I moved recently. If you\’ve read my posts recently, this will not be news.  If you\’re new here, welcome!  ~waves~  I\’ve moved recently.

    Yeah, I said that already.  Stress makes me repeat myself.

    I moved… Just kidding.  But as part of that move, I got all out of whack with myself and my promotional calendar.  I\’m in the process of climbing back on that horse and, apropos of that, have been wandering around the interwebs, looking for places to share the luv.

    Well, today I hit the jackpot and have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR posts to share with you!  (I know I sound like a late-night television ad – \”Don\’t wait, call now and get TWO widgets for the price of one.\”)  So, in an effort to spare you my move-inspired sense of humor, I shall get to the links:

    First up, my friend and mentor Tina Holland invited me to be on her blog and I jumped on that one with all four feet!  Hell, I even borrowed feet to jump on it with.  With which to jump on it…  Whatever, I\’m there.  I\’m so excited!  She wanted to know more about what it\’s like to write with a partner.  Come on by!  The Clog Blog

    Next up, we have my regular monthly post for Beyond the Veil.  I have to laugh – I started to write it and realized I\’d started writing to next month\’s theme.  Oops.  I went with it, though, and give you \’Dem Bones, \’Dem Bones…

    As rarely happens, my regular post for Torquere Press\’s LiveJournal coincided with my Beyond the Veil post, which is why I have FOUR offerings today instead of one.  Lucky you!

    My first journal post is about searching for the magic formula that makes a short story something special.  (Wow!  Look at that accidental alliteration.)  Seeking Short!

    My second journal post is about music, writing, and inspiration.  I share some of my favorite musicians that inspired the Persis Chronicles.  The Music of Persis.  Check it out!

    Thank you for visiting!
