30 Days of Sweat
30 Days of Sweat
1000 words a day everyday for the month of January.
Well it’s time for me to get back on track and write regularly. My baby is here, and I have no more excuses, but plenty of deadlines piling up in my near future. To make this work as a career, you have to do two things. Write regularly, and promote what you write. If you are missing one or both parts of the formula, your sales are going to suffer, and you will never get better. Craft is perfected by practice..
There are always reasons to put it off, family should come first. Then you have to prioritize. Money second or third depending—but if you’re writing to get rich—Ahem—you may be in the wrong field. This year we had a lot of setbacks personally, my husband went blind in his right eye, and had multiple complications like glaucoma and extremely painful migraines. I had gotten pregnant as well, and now have a newborn to care for. We had to replace the drainage pipes under the bathroom floor. I didn’t write much of anything. Most of my published books had been written the year before. My time, energy, and pocketbook has been drained, but I will always come back to my first love of writing despite the barriers.
I need to set some achievable goals to get my writing all done. So, for the month of January, I plan to make it a month where I write everyday. 1000 words a day will be enough to finish a novella—and more than enough to get my two major projects done.
Paris Bites rewrite ending lost on computer--20,000 words
Untitled (my first m/m story)—10,000 words
Some people are already doing great, writing 10 pages or more everyday. Others, may be lucky to write that in a month. You may set your goal higher or shorter. This is my goal, because I feel it’s the right amount and that my family won’t suffer for 4-5 pages a day. Fellow authors, please feel free to join me if you can. Tell me what you are working on and post how much you were able to write today. Being accountable to someone will help motivate you (and me).
I plan to post all the updates to my yahoo loop. So join me here:

Marley Gunderson is a sucker for hard luck cases. She votes independent, hires the local pothead with potential to DJ her class reunion, and pines for the boy she couldn't save.
William Patterson isn't interested in Marley's pity but her soft heart. Sexy and standoffish, Will's path has turned a carefree boy into a deeply troubled man with a serious helping of tragedy in his rucksack. The last thing he wants is to drag Marley into his personal cesspool, but the spark of teenage lust he felt for her blossoms into a raging inferno. Even the snarky voice of his dead friend, who resides in Will's own mind, isn't much of a deterrent for a few nights of solace spent in Marley's arms. But can he walk away again for her sake?

My book has been released!!
The day has arrived - my book, Beneath the Surface, has been released at Wild Child Publishing. Hallelujah.
http://www.wildchildpublishing.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/
Blurb for Beneath the Surface
Jo has the darkest of secrets in her past, which drives her to seek out the most traumatic of hotspots in the world as a war correspondent so she never has the time to confront what she did. A fellow reporter, Craig, accompanies her into war-torn Sergavia to recover rolls of film from a dead colleague and along the way Jo finds love and a reason to go back to the beginning so she can move forward.
Extract from Beneath the Surface
Branko’s eyes, unseeing, gazed up to the heaven I hoped he had gone to. What freakin’ heaven, for God’s sake? Who was I fooling? Out of the black sky, a wave of hopelessness thundered over me. For an instant a cavity opened and closed, but I had seen inside, and that image of empty loneliness scratched at my sanity.
I fell forward onto my knees by his side and touched an unblemished cheek. It was cold. This was the face Ana loved. I felt her sorrow, and tears threatened. I brushed his hair into place and rubbed at the dirt on that cheek. I had seen more death than most people see in a century of life, but this was Branko. He had a name. I had talked to him. I had liked him.
I heaved my pack onto my back, snatched up the rifle, checked the magazine and put the safety on. There was nothing I could do for Branko, but I could help save his family—if I could get to them before they reached the pass.
I turned around and faced the mountains. That was where I was going. Up there into the snow.

Hagitha is a just your ordinary witch in an ordinary coven. Nothing much special happens—in fact, things are so mundane that Hagitha spends most of her time cobweb gathering and wasting way too much energy on witchy salves and beauty spells. Until one day, when a strange applicant to the coven challenges her in a way she had never imagined, and Hagitha realizes perhaps her life is not so boring after all. Hagitha sets up shop as a detective, and soon discovers that with vampires, trolls, dragons, ghosts and more, she may have more business than she can handle!
