I have a blog? Say what?!

*blows dust away*

Damn I forgot this thing was here!  Not really, but you know what I mean.

Today a loved one pointed out I haven't updated in 6 months and I realized I have been a very, very bad author!

So let's see, an update. Well crap! I don't know where I left off so let's just do some highlights of the last 6 months, shall we?

• Talk to the Moon is now available at all ebook retailers, which I am super stoked about.  I've linked it for you of course. 
• Moon over the Bay released May 31st over on Amazon! It will hit other retailers the end of August.
• Secrets of the Moon is almost finished!  Not sure the release date yet but soon!
• I'm working on a book for Decadent Publishing's Beyond Fairytales line. Imagine a Grimm fairy tale but re-imagined and retold?  Cool right?! 

I think that's it on the author front.  

On the personal front it's been busy.  School starts on the 4th around here any my middle child is headed to kindergarten.  I am not sure how I feel about this.  That leaves the baby, who is 4 and not really a baby since she'll be in school next year, and the hubs home while I go back to work part time.  Crazy times I tell you!!

So other than being sick with envy over everyone being at the San Diego Comic Con this year because my bff and I weren't able to get badges, I've enjoyed a quiet summer.   In all honesty it's just too damn hot to do much hear except be in a pool.  Even then it's a danger because, hello sunburn! 

But now it's back to getting everyone on a schedule and no more late mornings for me.  *cries* 

Oh I gave up sugar and soda.   But we aren't going to talk about that.  Because that's just an awful idea, in case you were wondering. 

So how is everyone else's summer going?  Everyone ready for school?  Can I see a raise of hands for cooler weather already?! 

Stay cool!

Happy New Year... oh nevermind

Let's just start off by saying, I totally suck at blogging.  I admit it. I do.

Phew. I feel better now.

Now on to the good stuff.  Have you all read my first novella, Sunrise?  If not you should.  It's not so bad.  Honest!

Besides, it's free so why not?  =)

So it's 2014.

Really?! Already!

If any of you are like me, you can't believe it's already a new year.  I wish someone could explain to me how time can move so fast and go so slow at the same time?  If you could explain that to me, I'd give you a treat. A cookie or a cupcake.  Your choice.

For the new year I've decided to live better.  Which is just code for 'lose weight' but I feel that term has a defeatious stench to it that I want to live better.  I've given up soda, my one true love.  OK, total lie.  But it's up there.  I am on day 9 of no soda and it's not been so bad.  Last week I had pizza and I REALLY wanted to cave but I didn't.  I was good.  *pats back*.  This week I am going to keep that up and start my yoga.  If I can do yoga 3 times this week I will be very happy.  I should have done it yesterday but the oldest, who is 9, got front braces and it was a rough night.  Yoga was not on the mind.  Wine was.

With the help of my bestie, who is now a fitness freak and you should check out her blog over at The Hungry Latina, I am setting small goals and when I meet them I will reward myself with something non-food related.  If I can meet my goal for this week, next week I am going no white sugar.  Yeah, that is going to be a fun week.  But I think I can do it.  It'll be hard but nothing is ever easy right? Well.. except gaining weight.  That shit is easy to do. -_-

As for my writing, big plans this year!  I've got four,  that's right FOUR releases this year already scheduled.  On top of that I have several stories in the works and hopefully will see the light if day soon.  I've got a few other voices bouncing around also, wanting to come out and play.

Which totally sounds creepy, but ask any author and they will say that too.  ( I hope. >.< )

In the meantime I've got a few trips planned this year.  First I'm going to Los Angeles for a weekend of Shakespeare and writing with my other bestie and a much needed break.  I'm still trying to decide if I should head over to RT 2014 in NOLA for a day.  San Diego Comic Con is coming up in July and hopefully I can get a badge for that too which I should be able to.  And lastly, I am hoping to sneak in a trip to Disneyland with the kids this fall.  I prefer to go in October because of the Halloween theme, and it's typically less busy.

Other than that I'm going to be super busy with my upcoming releases and keeping you guys up to date.  Also, I plan updating my blog a bit also.  I want to change the look of it so that it expresses more of who I am.  Should be good times. =)

So what do you guys have planned for this year?

Happy New Year anyway!
