My Writing Life Nov. 2023

 Writing has slowed down a bit. I am now only working on one novel. I have a couple other stories in the planning stages. only one more anthology is yet to be released, Snowflakes and Sleigh Bells (November 24, 2023). Ghostly Rites 2023 was published on November 1, 2023. It has a temporary cover for now, but I will be sure to post once the cover is up and ready. 

I also sent a story in for another anthology. Currently waiting to hear back from them to see if it will be a part of their anthology. Either way it was a fun story to write and if it's not accepted I can always make it longer. 

Now for the stories I am planning. There will be 6 stories about taking creepy paths. These stories will most likely intertwined in some way.  At least, that's how the planning is working. I am also planning to put together a series Bible for The Blake's series I am working on. 

I have been trying to work on a website and newsletter. Key word there is "trying" lol. My technology challenged brain is struggling a bit getting them together, especially the newsletter. Good thing i don't give up on things easily. Anyway that's an update on my writing time!

Later Days and Happy Writing!

What's Going On In My Writing World: An Update

 What have I been up to in my writing life? Plotting, editing, and writing. Making teasers and promos for the anthologies I am in. Oh, and even more writing. 

First I want to update everyone on the anthology front. Surviving The Unthinkable and Second Chances are now out in the world. From The Beach, In The Valley, Up The Mountain is coming November 3, 2023 and Snowflakes and Sleigh bells on November 24, 2023. We are currently voting on a cover for Ghostly Rites 2023 and it will be released soon after that. 

So, what am I working on now? I am currently working on another short story to send in for another anthology called Vixens Of Horror. I have been editing The Hunt For Amanda and prepping for NaNoWriMo. I will be working on a story for The Blakes series. As you can tell my writing life hasn't calmed down all that much. 

I am off to do a little writing. Have a wonderful evening and as always Happy Writing!!!!

Book Reviews of 2023 Part 5

  Now for an update on my reviews before I lose control of them again. 😂😅

Here's goes:

First we have  Harboring Shantae by Elizabella Baker

A marriage of convenience isn't what they had planned, but it was the only way to keep Shantae safe. Now they wait to see what will happen next while trying not to fall in love. Panther and Shantae's story is a slow burn that's worth the wait! I love this series and this book is as good as all the others.

Next is Almost Poetry by R.B. O'Brien

A quick, enjoyable read!

Third is Revenge Sewn Mean by Ashby Frost 

A short story that is definitely worth the read. I can't wait to read Sewn Mean. This was a terrific story!

Targeted In Silver Creek by Delores Fossen takes us back to The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch series

This is a new generation of the Ryland clan with all the surprise twists and suspense as the Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch series. An action packed thrill ride that keeps you turning the pages late into the night. Jesse and Hanna's story is a wonderful and amazing start to this latest series from Delores Fossen.

Deserving Maddie by the amazing Elizabella Baker (yes, again!) is the fifth book on today's list.

The final book in the Bravo Team series is a thrill ride you can't afford to miss. Ray and Maddie's story will leave you wanting more. Gabe and Charley were the perfect addition to the story! And let's not forget the surprise twist at the end. Wow! I did not see that one coming. This was an absolutely amazing series!!!!

And Debra Webb also with Murder At Sunset Rock

The second book in the Lookout Mountain Mysterious series is a definite must read. Action packed from beginning to end. Olivia's and Huck's story was a breathtaking page turner. I loved the surprise twists and all the danger. Can't wait for the next book!

HOT SEALs, Independence Day by Elle James

Another great book from an amazing author! This is a wonderful story. I loved that it meshed the worlds of the Brotherhood Protectors and the SEALs in Paradise.

Jack is going on his vacation, alone. Or so he claims until Anne decides to come along for the ride. He wants nothing to do with anyone except the fish, she's running from an ex. Can the two of them overcome their pasts and save themselves and one another? This is one story you don't want to miss!

Danger In The Depths by Addison Fox

A terrific start to this series! I loved the story of Wyatt Trumball and Marlowe McCoy. Add in the surprise twists and it makes for the perfect book! Filled with action and secrets along with wonderful characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

And last but not least for this round of reviews...

The Boxcar Children (the original classic)

The Boxcar Children has always been one of my favorite book series. I read them all while I was in middle school. Reading this one again after a lot of years has definitely brought back some wonderful memories. I love the adventures of Henry, Jessie, Violet, Benny and their dog Watch. I will always be a fan of these books!!!
