Goodbye 2016! Pleas Call me Out cry.

It has been a mixed year, with good and bad. Life and bad health got into my way of my writing. I bought a house and my work life is at a great peak with bonus and awards.
But,,, then I lost my beautiful father due to cancer. The cancer demon follows our family. I have battled it once and prepared to battle it a second,, third time.
I been thankful to have two more beautiful animals that came into my life, Lucy Lou, a Chihuahua, and Nova, a beautiful tabby cat. That makes my animal family a total of four. (Victoria, cat, & Little T, pug)
My goal for 2017 is to get back into my writing, which I promise my father I would do. So, I have an angle keeping me accountable. So, if you can help me stay accountable; please call me out by posting to this page, either inspirational or in-my-face statements.
Thanks to all of you.

Needles That Work

These needles are great for anyone that spends a lot of time crocheting. These needles are light and help ease wrist pain. Love them!

My First Middle Grade Book.

I am so excited about this book. It is the first in a series: Bad Fairy Club. The title of  the first book is Sister Games.  http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Fairy-Club-Sister-Games-ebook/dp/B00G3ET3WI/

Please check it out!!
Thanks.

Eva is a plump, spunky eight-year-old fairy that wears the funkiest tights. Eva wants two things so bad. One is to learn magic, forbidden in their home. The second thing was to get revenge on her older sister, Selma, at the school dance.

Selma is a slender fashionista, nine-year-old fairy that wants nothing to due with her magic side, but wants everything to due with fashion.

Eva’s adventure to get revenge on Selma causes more problems in their dysfunctional single-parent home. Eva has to find some magical spells to make sure the school dance is a disaster. In her search for these magical skills she comes upon a hidden family heirloom, a powerful grimoire- spell book that has been silent for years until it feels Eva’s touch.

Eva’s first attempt on revenge fails and Selma benefits from the results, this forces Eva to step up her skills for learning magic so she can seek her revenge.

Will Eva get her revenge, and at what cost?

By the end of this magical adventure, Eva gets her revenge, and accidentally helps Selma discover her desire to increase her magic skills, too. Eva discovers that she has the portal to the world of Annebella and the tiny fairies that her grandmother had talked about for years. Eva learns how to transform herself into a tiny fairy to enter that world.

My Girl is In The Tabs again

My Marilyn is in the tabs again. We all knew she was murdered and who was responsible for it. But, again the Kennedy's are mixed up in this secret, along with the mob.

Go figure!

I think they did a terrible thing and I would loved to have known her.

Missing Marilyn

Working on Another E-book

I have been working on another craft e-book. It is Re-Rock Your Old Bangles: 6 Bangles Renewed With Crochet and Felt.

I have been struggling with creating covers. My cover looks great in Word, but when I upload it to the Amazon page, the colors turn to a completely different color.

I have a lot of graphics inside which retain their colors, but not the cover.

It will be published in a few days, with the blue color, instead of by orange.

I guess you have to pick your battles.LOL!

My First Published Kindle

I have created and published my first new kindle book, Inspiring Tunisian Crochet. I have been putting this on my goals for the year and never did it. Now, I have!

Having Fun Writing

I am having fun with the two on-line writer's conferences. The GUTGAA and SYTYCW. I have met so many great people and they have gave me so much inspiration and advice. Here is another great writing event: October Blog Challenge it starts Monday September 24. You can read about it at: http://janeannmclachlan.com/3/post/2012/09/why-join-the-october-blog-challenge.html#comments I think this would be great for building characters. I am going to try and use my character from one of my books. Anyone have a great writing books. I want to start a list of writing books list on my blog that writers use constantly.

I am working hard on my book and making sure my pitch is ready for tomorrow. This has been such a great adventure and learning experience. I found two other great blog that a friend sent me. Check them out: BootCampDigital.com and Girlfriendology.com (50,000 women networking) Awesome girl power!!

I can't believe I won a great prize in a great writer's conference. I never win anything. I get a 30 page critique by a great person in the field, Stephanie Pace. I can't wait to meet her. Plus I get to shop for more book. I known I probably don't need anymore books since I have 350 books and my electronic collection (new) I have 23. BUT.. I will take and love some more books. So, Thanks Ink In The Book. Thanks to All!!
