A Real-Live Romance That Lasts Pt2

Last post, I talked a little about how Hubby and I  met and were married. I intended to get another post in before today, but time hasn’t been my friend this past week. Besides getting everything ready for Hubby and I to renew our marriage vows, my mom’s brother fell critically ill and passed away suddenly, and a long-time family friend passed away suddenly too. Those were on top of the one-year anniversary of my step-dad’s death. So the post I’d intended to post earlier will go up in a few days. Today, right after our regular Sunday morning church services, Hubby and I renewed our marriage vows. We kept everything really simple and casual and enjoyed family and friends who couldn’t be with us the first time, while we missed those who couldn’t be there this time. My dad. Hubby’s mom and dad. My step-dad. Our minister from the … Continue reading

A Real Life Romance That Lasts

On Sunday, May 19th, Hubby and I will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows. It won’t be a big fairy tale wedding, but our friends and family will be there, so it will be perfect. I thought it might be fun to do a couple of short posts about some of the things we’ve learned about relationships and making them last. We’ve had ups and downs over the years, though not as bad as many couples, and there are reasons for that, and we’ve been extremely lucky. Love at first sight? When we met, Hubby was a career soldier and I was a college student. He’d come to campus to visit his brother, and I’d stayed the weekend to cover work for a sick friend. I had recently ended a serious relationship and had no interest in starting a new one. He was career-minded and on orders … Continue reading

They Say Good Things Are Worth The Wait

In my opinion they are. I KNOW this one is! I’ve been mostly absent from the site for a LONG time. Between health stuff and writing, I’ve neglected everything else. But I have good news on both fronts… I’m getting my gall-bladder out, which will take care of my newest batch of symptoms. No date yet, but as soon as I can get it done. We were supposed to have “Summon Dorn” out on Valentines day. Didn’t happen. Damn gall bladder took a LOT of writing hours from me. Sick kids took a BUNCH more. So we rescheduled for March 1st. Also didn’t happen. Somewhere in there my laptop died so I bit the bullet and replaced the one I really liked a LOT. With a laptop that runs Windows 8. Lost 3 writing days to getting everything moved from backup – yes, I backed up, Thank God! – and learning … Continue reading

From Hell In A Handbasket To A Cabin In Alaska!

We’re rapidly closing in on March 1st, (*panics*) the release date for “Archangels Creed 2: Summon Dorn”.  While Azure and I are busting ass to finish up, we’re also working to get word out about the series. A few weeks ago, I stopped by Kriss Morton’s Cabin Goddess blog, and asked to do a guest post. She gave me one of her amazingly innovative Fourth Wall Friday spots. Fourth Wall Friday is one of those concepts that’s so basic you wonder why everyone isn’t doing it. FWF posts give readers an inside look at how writing works and what it means to each author. It gives a rare glimpse into the author’s mind and thought processes as the story is formed. Stop by Cabin Goddess to see our 4th Wall Friday and see how Azure and I work with such powerful characters. While you’re there, make sure you Like and Share the post, … Continue reading

Over Feb 13th and 14th, I’ll be posting regularly with info and excerpts from all my books. This event also marks the beginning of our gearing up for the official release of “Archangels Creed 2: Dorn”, so my posts will have exclusive excerpts and info that won’t be posted again, anywhere. In order to reach as many readers as possible, I’ll be pasting some of those posts here, as well … Continue reading

Delayed Release of “Archangels Creed 2: Dorn”

I’ve been a BAAAAaaaaaadddd Blogger! No, it’s true. I haven’t posted in… well, a long time. And I’m behind on writing. Like seriously behind. Behind enough to delay the release of Book 2 in the “Archangels Creed” series. There’s a reason, but it doesn’t get the writing and editing done. So, rather than put out less than our best work, Azure and I have decided to delay the release of “Dorn” until March 1st. As much as we want it in readers’ hands, we want to do it justice and write the best story we’re capable of more. I’m mentioned chronic health problems a few times but haven’t given many details. Since it’s such a limiting factor in all I do, I should probably elaborate more. But for right now, suffice to say, my health has recently cut into my work time, enough to significantly effect my output. I’m feeling … Continue reading
