News: Writing and Happy Holidays!

12/26/13

• The holiday season is ending.  I hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely Christmas and that everyone who doesn't celebrate, like me, enjoyed their day off from work.  I saw Frozen and American Hustle this past week, so I've been spending my time wisely.  Okay, I've also written a lot too.  The third section in Magnified is quickly drawing to a close, which is good because the fourth section is where all the fun starts to happen.  I'm looking forward to sitting down and planning it all out. 
  Ge-Mi is also starting to take shape, and I don't mean just on paper.  I'm still slogging through all the tough introductory stuff that happens whenever I create a new world I need to build around the character, but the foundation is really starting to form.  The next step is the very beginning of the romance.  The non-paper/writing development is the title.  I have a beautiful vision of two separate covers, which means there somehow must be two different books.  Therefore, the series must be called Ge-Mi (or Genetic Mutation) and book one must be called A Kitten's Claws.  I honestly have no idea what plot idea there is for a second book, but I'm going to try! 
  
  
• The next big holiday is New Years.  I always go to First Night with my family, which is amazing fun.  This year I have two big things to look forward to.  First, my third, seasonal job will be ending which means less money in my bank account, but more time for writing and other fun things.  Second, the submission dates for LT3's Satisfaction Guaranteed and DSP's Juicy Bits are coming due.  That means I'll soon hear yes or no for the stories I've submitted to each.  It really is so very exciting! 
  
  
• My last bit of news is the cover for Wings of the Stars is finalized.  It's to the right, so please have a look.  I know the artist and LT3 worked very hard on it.  Hopefully I'll soon have the cover for The Oracle's Hatchling to show off too!
