After a week of being too sick to write, I am back at it, working on Drifting Sands my next original m/m romance mystery. The story takes place on the beaches of Beaufort South Carolina. This picture reminds me of Justin's need to be near the ocean and watching the sunset from the lonely balcony of his lonely room. I will be posting more as the work progresses.

Today  you can find my interview with the amazing Charlie Cochrane, the author the Cambridge Fellows Mysteries as well as many lovely m/m books over at her blogger. http://charliecochrane.livejournal.com/247277.html?view=2340589#t2340589

All the exciting fun of the blog tour is nearly over and now it's time to get back to some writing. Today I'm picking up at a pivotal moment in my new work "Drifting Sands". I call it DS for short. Two murders have already happened and a third has just been discovered on the beach again. Will it be the same M.O. as the others or is there something different and why? So many questions to be thought through and answered. God, I love this part of writing! 

Valentines Day was especially nice this year. My wonderful husband of 37 years, Dave, sent two dozen lovely red, white and pink roses to my office the day before Valentines and gave me a gorgeous brandy snifter filled with strawberry cream and chocolate Dove heart shaped pieces and a tiny bottle of rose wine. He made this week even more special than it already was with the release of "A New Dream".  Thanks Sweetheart.

I'm going to be hard at work this weekend on "Drifting Sands". I have about 5K in handwritten notes to type up before I can move on and I am so ready to start writing again.

The "Love Sucks...Until It Doesn't" tour continues on through the weekend and into next week. There still  lots of info and give-a-ways too! Be sure to check out the rest of the blog tour here http://www.bottomdrawerpub.blogspot.com.au/p/book-tours.html.

And you can now find me in "Goodreads" here http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17342768-a-new-dream.

It's starting!! So excited. February 11th the first stop on the blog tour is A Little Fiction of Every Flavour with Mel Kendall at mkendallauthor.blogspot.com. There will be info on the 4 books being released in the "Love Sucks...Until It Doesn't" promotion.

Here is a little bit about me:

I live in southwest Ohio with my very patient husband and two encouraging children. My heart however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where I hope to retire to some day. The mountains have always provided me with inspiration and they are a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.

The dream of writing my own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner of life until my son introduced me to fan fiction and encouraged me to give writing a try. I found that my passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than I had ever expected.

Having my first book, "A New Dream", published has been an amazing experience. I am thrilled to be a part of the Bottom Drawer Publishing's growing family of authors. 

There are lots of wonderful surprises and gifts to be won during the upcoming blog tour. Check back here for a list of blog stops and little peeks at the other books coming out during the "Love Sucks...Until It Doesn't" Blog Tour starting February 11, 2013.
