Happy Midweek Y'all!
Working it out…
- I've been interviewed by Joanne Wadsworth and Judith Sullivan! Check it out (find out something I've never told anyone before) here and here. So much fun!
- Next Monday, October 1st, Harper Voyager is accepting submissions from non-agented writers. Hooray! I'm entering Running From Shadows.

| Riding the Ferry to Alcatraz 2011 |
- Things are coming along nicely for the yet-to-be-titled alien novella. I'm at 12k words. The goal is 40k. As I talk about the alien story, which takes place in San Francisco, California... I'll be posting some pictures from the trip my hubby and I took there last year. This pic is on the ferry ride to the prison (Alcatraz Island). In my novella this is where everyone on their 18th birthday is taken to be tested, and if you're a DNA Match--well, let's just say...you don't wanna be a match!
- I started Witch Way book #2 revisions!!
- Here's a teaser from book #2 I'm super happy with (as always, no spoilers to book #1 or #2).
- (Breena's POV)The gold in Orin's eyes sparked bright and alluring. She’d thought for a second she was over her swoony phase until he smiled at her. His smile was different from Myles’s. Still sexy, but more present…an in-the-moment display of emotion, almost as if this could be there last second together and it had to be perfect.

Zip line pix of me and my friend Kat... This adventure was terrifying at first because I'm afraid of heights, but the day turned out to be so much fun! I'd definitely go ziplining again! Our next adventure...indoor sky-diving :) Crazy? Who, me?
Here's a 55 second You Tube video of one of the longest zip lines at the park...here. It's not me tho; I'm still trying to get the video of me to play. Dog gone those Apple to PC conversions. LOL

| What the crap! Are we really doing this? |

| Ahhh! Really doing this! |
Love the zipline pix! Better you than me! LOL it does look like fun though. In another not-deathly-afraid-of-heights life, perhaps. Sounds like your usual hectic week. Go alien story!
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks Jenna! It was definitely exhilarating! :) I just kept thinking...please, dear Lord in Heaven, don't let this tiny wire snap cos I don't wanna die!! You shoulda seen our faces tho when we first saw what we had to do. Oh my! Can't wait to get that pic and share it. Priceless. Eep!!
DeleteYour zip line looks like fun! At least you were smiling.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheri! Yup, I smiled through the fear ;) lol I'm glad to have something marked off my bucket list!
DeleteWow you got a lot going on. You go girl! Love the zip line. My friend did that in Cuba and she couldn't believe she did it either. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mart! :) Ohh, I bet she had fun! It's good to try new things...even if they scare us...at least that's what I keep telling myself. LOL
DeleteContinued good luck on your queries. If you like zip lining, try spising. Where you hang from a hellicoptor on a line.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ella! Ohh girl, you are too funny with the hanging from a helicopter! ;) Don't think I could ever do spising...unless it was over a lake/ocean and the rope line was really low to the water in case I fell. LOL I'd be scared half to death. Eep! Thank you for stopping by and commenting :)
DeleteSo impressed with all the action happening on your end, Karen! 12K on your novella is awesome progress, and you still have time to have fun :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Dana! I appreciate that :) It was a lot of fun! Took us over 3 hours to make it through the entire zip line course. lol
DeleteSomeday I've got to try a zip line. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteI recommend it! Lots of fun! Thanks so much for stopping by :)
DeleteBusy. Busy. Busy.
ReplyDeleteteehee Always! Thanks for stopping by Daryl :)
DeleteYou are a busy lady for sure. And that zip line looks super fun! :)
