One issue of this new world order of marketing ebooks at large online stores like Amazon and Apple iBooks, is that getting attention is harder than ever.<br />
<br />
If you already have a fan base, outstanding. You can send out announcements and people will preorder your book and you will sell well. But for most of us, that doesn't happen and so we have to be creative.<br />
<br />
One creative way to find potential readers is to offer your work bundled with a number of other authors, some of whom will have a bigger audience than you. Since your audience and theirs only partially overlaps, then there is a lot of potential for getting new readers. Also you can split the cost of marketing a group anthology, even taking advantage of ads and the like.<br />
<br />
I was invited to submit to a Science Fiction Romance anthology, and since that is one of my favorite genres to write in, I decided to put together my novella for the anthology as part of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those who aren't familiar with this.)<br />
<br />
I had been doing quite well on my story as this calendar will show:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://nanowrimo.org/widget/MyMonth/janetmfoo.png" /><br />
<br />
I had a few hard days where not much writing got done. That was due to not feeling well last week. But otherwise I've been working hard and while I might not make it to a full 50K words written for the month, I will at least get this story done. And yes, it is part of my Gaian series.<br />
<br />
So I'm not writing a long entry today since I need to get back to work and make sure those word count boxes fill up yellow and green rather than orange and red.<br />
<br />

Miller story coming out soonOn October 20 one of my favorite titles, Lady's Choice, a sexy outer space romance story involving a woman having to choose between two men, will be released as part of a new anthology of paranormal stories.<br />
<br />
As you can see I'm using a new author name for Enchanted Eternally, J.L. Miller. As I've said before, the Cricket Starr name was cute, but it stopped being a good name for sexier romances a while ago. Most books I sell are under my own name, so using my initials for the hotter content will help brand the books that I want to keep the bulk of the sex in. Sometimes you just can't remove the sex without losing too much of the story, and this menage story is one of those times.<br />

<br />
Actually the road to Mandalay is the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar (formerly called Burma) and there really isn't a bay along the river where China is due east for the sun to rise over. Also there aren't any flying fishes, merely dolphins that are rare enough so you don't see them much. For all that, this is an amazing place to be posting from.<br />
<br />
For our big vacation this year hubby and I decided on a river cruise along the Irrawaddy River with Pandaw River Cruises, a fairly small tour company that offers 7 to 14 day cruises in Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia that are a mix of comfortable air-conditioned cabins, tasty cuisine, plentiful local beer and spirits, and a guide who provides local cultural experiences such as visits to pagodas, monasteries, a real nunnery, schools, villages, and workshops like potteries, silversmiths, and weavers, with plenty of opportunities to purchase souvenirs, whether you are looking for them or not. Let's just say some of the mobile vendors can be very persistent, particularly if they have bicycles to follow your horse-drawn cart with.<br />
<br />
Days can be packed with activities. In one day I rode a bus, a truck, the aforementioned horse-drawn cart, and a small boat to glide up next to an old bridge to take pictures of the sunset. Then at the end of the day we ended up in a traffic jam due to a broken down vehicle between the bus and the ship, leaving us hiking along the road between the trucks, motorcycles and such to get back in time for happy hour. This turned out to be a highlight of the day as local kids and adults in the open vehicles around us cheered us on and mugged for our cameras as we passed them. Here, tourists are so rare, we become the entertainment with our light skins, light eyes, and light colored hair. I had one set of kids fascinated that my skin is so freckled that I have spots on top of spots rather than the beautiful even light brown they have. Beautiful children calling me beautiful with my frizzy blonde hair and freckles.<br />
<br />
Today is a quiet day as we move along the river, green on every side of us. The river is a little high due to the flooding in the North, so some of the land is drowned, people relocated to higher ground temporarily. As they move into the dry season this will change and they'll eventually move back to their homes, seemingly only moderately inconvenienced. That is life along the river, it goes up and then down. We have a visit to a village later this morning and this afternoon a lecture on how the changing political situation in Myanmar is affecting the country. Finally there will be happy hour, and an excellent dinner.<br />
<br />
This really doesn't have much to do with writing other than giving me a break from the real world, one I've needed badly. Time to let my mind and imagination wander while the boat flows gently down one of the great rivers of the world. Time also to remind myself just how lucky I am to be able to visit a place like this.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This weekend hubby and I are in Las Vegas, one of those places that you can seriously call an Entertainment Mecca. People come here from all over the world to gamble, see shows, swim in luxurious pools, and eat at restaurants run by famous chefs. You can spend a lot of time doing all these things and never need to do anything on this list.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So why do I have this list? Because my husband and I tend to go to Las Vegas at least once a year, don’t gamble, he isn’t into spending all day at a pool, and there is just so much time one can spend eating or going to shows. So this is a list of offbeat Las Vegas offerings that we’ve done over the years. Most of these things can be done in a few hours at most, as opposed to going to Lake Mead, or out to Red Rocks parks.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Of course there are the multiple galleries of art that are part of the Las Vegas hotel scene:</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/nov/16/top-10-galleries-museums-las-vegas"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/nov/16/top-10-galleries-museums-las-vegas</span></a></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">These are all relatively small galleries that don't take a lot of time. Just enough to kill part of an afternoon between pool, drinks, and dinner. Hubby and I have done some of the galleries when there have been special exhibits. At the moment there is a Picasso exhibit at the Bellagio and we might see that if we get the chance.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;">2. The Neon Museum - </span><a href="http://www.neonmuseum.org/"><span style="color: #0563c1;">http://www.neonmuseum.org/</span></a></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;">Have you ever wondered what happened to those old neon signs that decorated the outside of the hotels in Las Vegas back in the old days? Well it turns out that much of that old signage was actually rented from the company that made them, Young Electric Sign Company, rather than owned by the hotels. So when the hotels swapped out their signs for newer ones, the old ones would get returned to the company, which dumped them out in the desert in their “boneyard” to ultimately rot. But that seemed like an ignominious fate for some of these iconic signs so the Neon Museum was born. Some of the signs are restored and are now placed around the Fremont Street Experience, and a number of others are placed in the medium strip along Las Vegas Blvd near the museum. Guided tours will take you through the new “boneyard” where you can get close to some of these old signs, including many that light up. </span>Check out the following from Google Maps:</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes, that is the Pirate Head from the old Treasure Island display staring up at you!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;">3. The Atomic Testing Museum - </span><a href="http://www.atomictestingmuseum.org/pid12museum.html"><span style="color: #0563c1;">http://www.atomictestingmuseum.org/pid12museum.html</span></a></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the testing sites for nuclear devices was just north of Las Vegas, which makes this something of a local history museum. It is worth more than a few hours to explore the exhibits, including the “Ground Zero Theatre” that simulates what it was like to view a nuclear explosion (from a “safe distance” of course.) They now also have an Area 51 exhibit, which I haven’t seen so I might be heading there again soon.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4. Akhob – <a href="http://motherboard.vice.com/read/tripping-face-on-nothing-but-light">http://motherboard.vice.com/read/tripping-face-on-nothing-but-light</a></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And now for something completely different… this is an installation of a ganzfeld by artist James Turrell, a chamber of light that somehow tricks the eye into making your surroundings disappear. At the time of this posting hubby and I just got back from that and it was a trippy an experience as I'd been led to expect. You stand outside a chamber that is a large bowl shape and when the light goes to just the right intensity, the bowl loses its edges and just becomes this intense void of color that shifts shades from red to blue to purple. There are spots that seem appear and disappear and I'm told later there were the blood vessels at the back of my eye. Okay then.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So as you can see there is a lot to do in Vegas. Hope you all have a great upcoming month!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Cheers,</span></div>

I did re-do 3 books already with the titles I wanted and covers I wanted. And I did one more for the same reason (it had a cover I absolutely hated).<br />
<br />
But this last book is one I'm not sure what to do with. So I may just wait and get Janet's report when she comes back and see what she has to say. I'm not going to RWA, so I hope she'll provide a full report!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-3393134767594781242015-07-17T11:03:00.001-04:002015-07-17T11:03:24.865-04:00Reverting titles and heading to a conventionFor the past several months I've been cleaning up my contracts with one of my oldest publishers. My books had a good run there and the contracts have expired so over time I've emailed them asking for my rights back, pointing out that either the contract duration had expired (most were for seven years) or that they no longer met the minimum number of copies sold to be considered "in print". In the ebook world it is very important that a contract have clauses in it so that the book can be reverted. Life of copyright contracts don't make any sense for an author to sign given how fluid the publishing world has become. You never know what the next big push will bring.<br />
<br />
So I now have most of my books back and need to decide what to do about them. There are so many possibilities. I can do final edits, find a cover, and upload to Amazon, Smashwords, and the other ebook distributers' and that's what I have done for some titles with moderate success.<br />
<br />
But more recently I've simply sat on the titles, thinking that perhaps it would be better to come up with a real publishing plan rather than continue to roll books out without one.<br />
<br />
And so next week I'll head for the RWA national conference, where I'll sit in many seminars about the topic "what to do with reverted titles". Even a short review of the schedule shows many relevant seminars for me to attend and I'll be making a list of the ones I feel will be most interesting.<br />
<br />
Hey I might even talk to a traditional publisher about my work. Not expecting much there but it could happen. That's the point of going to a conference, to find out just what is going on in the publishing world. Accompanied by 2000 of the people most like me in the world, it should at least be exciting.<br />
<br />

Cover Reveal of FEAR LAND by Rolynn Anderson"I see fear in a handful of dust."<br />
So said T.S. Eliot, renowned poet, who, as it happens is a 'high-reactive,' a human beset with anxiety. How he became a profit-making, revered writer is another story. His sentiments about fear lead into my novel, FEAR LAND, a suspense story about many strains of anxiety.<br />
<br />
I'm giving you a sneak peak at my cover and blurb and can't wait to tell you when the novel will see the light of day. As you can imagine, a novel about anxiety...those who have it and those who treat it...is challenging enough. Add suspense and a truckload of villains and we've got major fun...and stress.<br />
<br />
Here's the cover and here's the blurb about FEAR LAND. I'll let you know when you can buy the book on Kindle and CreatesSpace.<br />

<br />
Just got back from a trip to the land of Oz. Specifically, from Kansas and a visit to the Wizard of Oz museum in Wamego, KS. Go ahead. Look it up. Or I'll help:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ozmuseum.com/">http://ozmuseum.com/</a><br />
<br />
This is an amazing collection of memorabilia that is a Must See for any Oz fan. Not just movie stuff, but interesting things about Frank Baum, the books (all of them, all 40 or so), those who wrote the "other" books (not the original 13 by Baum) -- in short, lots of interesting stuff.<br />
<br />
And let's not forget the Oz Winery, just down the street. Also a good spot to stop. I scored some Flying Monkeys Wine and Can't Find My Way Home White (sampled and they were good).<br />
<br />
So go ahead, click your heels and take a trip down the yellow brick road. You won't regret it!<br />

<br />
I've done drafts of novels... two in fact, but those haven't gotten beyond the draft phase. And I had a short story I was working on that stalled out. Basically I fell out of love with the characters and if I don't love them how can I expect anyone else to?<br />
<br />
But this time I finished the story, revised it a couple of times, and turned it in. This will be part of an anthology a group of us is putting together for the next RT Booklovers convention in Las Vegas, May 2016 and it will also be offered up for sale.<br />
<br />
Things are moving now so I'm real excited. I might even get one of the novels I drafted finished.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

He hates golf as much as I love it. What this means: twice a week (or so), I go off golfing on my own. When I'm home, I play with my women friends, but when we travel and I haul my clubs along, I play as a 'single,' rounding out a foursome with three men I've never met before. Two wonderful aspects of playing as a 'single:' I can play anytime I want to...and I get to play with very interesting people.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I played with two men from Houston and one from Atlanta. One of the fellows from Texas sells massage business franchises across the country. Recently he's added a lucrative bundle of franchises for glue-on eyelashes, a ballooning industry. What? I am not making this up! In fact, the man had to drop out of playing a couple of holes while he was wrapping up the sale of an eyelashing franchise. <br />
<br />
I gather some plot and character ideas from my golf partners, but I also grab readers. They are entranced by the idea I write suspense novels. They always ask for my card, quiz me about my writing process, and promise they'll buy my books (or their wives/girlfriends will). Some of my new golf buddies want to tell me stories I might use in an upcoming novel. They are tickled when I tell them about the next suspense novel I'll be polishing, which centers on golf and is entitled BAD LIES. Check out my works on my website: http://www.rolynnanderson.com<br />
<br />
Until I get that story out to you, you'll have to be content with my funeral planner series: FADEOUT, SWOON and FAINT (releasing this summer). The setting is a golf course community in Arroyo Grande, California.<br />
<br />
Here's the gist of the series: <br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14pt;">When their research upends terrible secrets about the dead, a boutique funeral planner and a hard-charging journalist confront danger and clash over how to protect the living.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></b>

This time of year always reminds me of when I was first starting out in publishing, and I'd go to conferences HOPING to snag that perfect interview with an agent or editor that would change my life forever.<br />
<br />
Heh.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong: I love remembering those old days. I had so much fun at conferences, and had so much fun being an aspiring author. My first books released in 2007 and after 25 books out, I still enjoy the rush of having a new release. This is the first year I don't have any books out (looking for a publisher for an 8-book series), and I'm enjoying the feeling of free time, promo time, and writing time.<br />
<br />
So to all of you who are embarking on the conference go-round -- have fun. It really can be a blast and it can be so energizing and fun. And who knows? I may surprise you and show up at one now and again -- maybe not this year, but next year, I think RT may get a visit from me. And maybe one other ... only time will tell!<br />

Today I'm posting from the RT Booklover's convention in Dallas, Texas. In the past couple of days I've danced at a number of parties, dressed in costumes, and attended several seminars on independent publishing. In general I've had a great time.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've also introduced myself to a number of people I've never met before, which means I try to tell people who I am. They know I'm a writer because my badge says "published author" and I hand out promo cards that mention what books I've written. But is that all I am?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am also:</div>
<div>
A software engineer who works at a large company in Silicon Valley.</div>
<div>
A wife and mother of two children who are now grown up.</div>
<div>
An avid gamer who plays social games with people all over the world, many of whom are much younger than I am.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love movies, good television, and books. Lots of books in lots of genres as I am a very wide reader. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that is only a part of who I am. I put a lot of me in all my books. My characters have been known to watch movies (albeit on a "holovid" rather than a DVD) and they make things that I have made myself. They play games and garden... I even have one character who is a romance author.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that who I am. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Who are you?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cheers,</div>

Over the second week in May, they're all gathering at my house to celebrate my birthday. Seven of these ten members of my family, have never visited me in California before. To say I'm excited is an understatement. To say I'm in a flurry of preparation? Oh yes!<br />
<br />
I'm wondering what you prepare when a crowd of loved ones comes to visit? Here are some of the foods I'm preparing before they all arrive:<br />
1. Banana Bread<br />
2. Yule Kake (A Norwegian sweet bread)<br />
3. Peanut Butter Cookies<br />
4. Granola<br />
5. Tapenade (variety of chopped up olives and garlic in olive oil)<br />
6. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies<br />
<br />
There's something about a trove of homemade stuff that says 'I'm glad you came.' What are your favorites to have on hand?<br />
<br />
Here's my standard (Quaker Oats) recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Simple, but yummy!<br />

What this means is that there is that a company puts out a request for a story that meets some criteria and I then figure out how to do a story that meets that criteria and still makes sense to me.<br />
<br />
For example here are a few of the story specs I've written to:<br />
<br />
1. An Ellora's Caveman story that involves one of the following: a heavyset heroine, a vampire, futuristic, or bondage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm9hDF4Ia8716DldMLegELT_zhvy7x2sxdlOipzqJmWhd0XtEc-h8rjHsGSUnz-jJP_ioFnYBfS4OVRIzjkOl5yRaa_-p2BJnZ7jKvodTeysIZi9X3kwjOHwYNtnveTOk7M50StAxse9Sl/s1600/EC_LT1_msr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm9hDF4Ia8716DldMLegELT_zhvy7x2sxdlOipzqJmWhd0XtEc-h8rjHsGSUnz-jJP_ioFnYBfS4OVRIzjkOl5yRaa_-p2BJnZ7jKvodTeysIZi9X3kwjOHwYNtnveTOk7M50StAxse9Sl/s1600/EC_LT1_msr.jpg" height="200" width="121" /></a></div>
<br />
Or as I put it "so if I write a story about a vampire who lives on a space ship and finds a heavyset heroine tied to a tree, that would work, right?"<br />
<br />
My editor said "Yeah, that would work."<br />
<br />
And it did work. The story was "Darkpilot's Bride" and it is in Ellora's Cavemen Legendary Tails, volume 1<br />
<br />
2. A story based on a Tarot card to be part of a card set put out by my publisher.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR25Bn0QK3jMzdrB55OAs-v7WBwKv1jDwTQw9cfnHV75ogQ_nTnBIpzhNlCapgalG9RysLulc36rvg8pGNKyCYf4RBWmjtFgwmRbYqOoPxkX-dnqcZykdFqkqClpfQc6s-B463YJSQr5f2/s1600/imperfect-judgement-copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR25Bn0QK3jMzdrB55OAs-v7WBwKv1jDwTQw9cfnHV75ogQ_nTnBIpzhNlCapgalG9RysLulc36rvg8pGNKyCYf4RBWmjtFgwmRbYqOoPxkX-dnqcZykdFqkqClpfQc6s-B463YJSQr5f2/s1600/imperfect-judgement-copy.jpg" height="200" width="125" /></a></div>
I wrote "Imperfect Judgment" and it was about an abandoned space colony that uses Tarot cards to make important decisions, and the "judgment" card featured prominently in the story.<br />
<br />
To date I haven't written another story in that world, but I really enjoyed creating it.<br />
<br />
3. A story where people ask Mrs. Claus for something that changes their life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEz2P4PsoZzo6GhUFF5u-HbyEQqmu9bZx8EvYdctk8Y7AC3q9AzqIi0J_io_qbGnJQSD9i6FWPAvsTPStGJtmx1_18ply6LPjW5vOzZEdPeQ0lS6tnmJyMjTrCWJOAYzFiQuyGwjwSz-p6/s1600/PerfectHero_sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEz2P4PsoZzo6GhUFF5u-HbyEQqmu9bZx8EvYdctk8Y7AC3q9AzqIi0J_io_qbGnJQSD9i6FWPAvsTPStGJtmx1_18ply6LPjW5vOzZEdPeQ0lS6tnmJyMjTrCWJOAYzFiQuyGwjwSz-p6/s1600/PerfectHero_sm.jpg" height="200" width="121" /></a></div>
<br />
In "Perfect Hero" my heroine puts on a white board at work her request to "Mrs. Claus" for a new monitor and gets a magic one the next day. When she uses it to design a game character she ends up with a"hero" that steps out of the monitor. He then goes on to ensure she has a magical Christmas.<br />
<br />
I've done others but you get the idea. I enjoy the challenge of taking a story concept and twisting it into something I want to write.<br />
<br />
Recently I joined a group of writers who are doing an outer space anthology. The concept is a short work, ten to twenty thousand words, set in a casino on a space station. Now there are all sorts of ideas this brings up but I've decide to do a story set in my Gaian world. So the story will be a Gaian man who finds his match in a woman working the equivalent of a black-jack table in a small space station. The tentative title is "a turn of the cards" and I've already gotten several thousand words written and the plot planned out.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty excited about it so watch this space for more information.<br />

It's about Cassie Whittington, a 50-something ex-software geek who starts a second career in the landscaping business. Along the way she gets embroiled in murder and romance and millionaires.<br />
<br />

That was my "second career" thought at one time until I realized how much intense physical labor is involved. But I enjoyed my schoolwork immensely, and the experience gave me three marvelous books...<br />
<br />
ONE OF WHICH IS IN A GIVEAWAY ON GOOD READS!<br />
<br />
What timing! Just in time for spring!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/130942-lilacs-litigation-and-lethal-love-affairs" target="_blank">Here's a link to the giveaway.</a> Sign up and maybe you'll be chosen to receive the first book in my Deadly Landscaping trilogy.<br />
<br />
The three books follow Cassie as she embarks on a new career and re-discovers romance. Of course, her new guy might be a murderer, but then again -- maybe not. She hopes!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-33930669832923239842015-03-16T04:30:00.000-04:002015-03-16T04:30:02.351-04:00Updating the backyardOne of the big things going on at the Miller house is that after over fifteen years of ownership we are finally doing something about the backyard. Over the years we've done some updating and maintenance, mostly when our hands were force like when the hot tub sprang a leak and the gazebo surrounding it collapsed under the weight of the jasmine that had grown up around it. Sadly the removal of these left a big sandy hole in the yard that we made several attempts to do something about until it became clear that the problem with the yard wasn't the big sandy hole...<br />
<br />
It was the whole yard and the lack of useful space in it.<br />
<br />
The pool was old and looked dated with rough white plaster on the bottom. There were vast amounts of old cement patio that was broken in places, uneven in others, and unshaded. You didn't want to lie in the sun out there. We had a nice table and chairs and an umbrella but that was the only real place to sit and there weren't any real paths other than the walk around the pool. Nothing about the space was real inviting.<br />
<br />
Basically we'd look outside and not feel like going out there most of the time. And to make matters worse, most of the back of the house has windows that look out on the backyard.<br />
<br />
So we got a designer who first made us look at a lot of landscaping books to get a feel for what we wanted. We marked the pages and went through them with her later on. That led to a bunch of decisions like wanting colorful plants, liking darker blue pools, and more naturalistic settings rather than formal gardens. A plan was made, contractors for the pool, new fences, and a landscaper were hired, and we've been living with a work in progress for the past few weeks.<br />
<br />
This is a current image of the backyard:<br />

As you can see there is the edge of the pool, the new slate patio, a big deck in the background, new plants every where, a large dirt area that will be some sort of low ground cover, and places where paving stones will be put. Every day the place looks nicer. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eventually we'll have seating on the deck in the back, and the dining table and chairs will be back in place. I fully expect to be able to sit outside to write a blog post in the future.</div>

Do not count your jewelry sets after you've read this article. I don't want to be responsible for your bout of depression.<br />
<br />
Okay, here's the deal for anyone who's lived half a century or more. If you're like me, you've got hundreds of pairs of darling earrings and scores of gorgeous necklaces. Yet I was rotating the same three or so sets every day. No more: I've vowed to wear the jewelry I've bought over all these years, accumulated treasures and memories, for sure. Instead of waiting for the right occasion or the perfect outfit to wear my precious gems or costume sets, I wear a new ensemble every day.<br />
<br />
I figure: jewelry doesn't take much room, but clothes do. So I've sorted through skirts, suits, fancy tops and sparkly bottoms and ditched most of them. Now I wear comfortable pants and tops and have enough dressy jackets to manage any occasion, from wedding to funeral. The rest of my unworn-for-twenty-years apparel goes to Goodwill. I dumped a dresser; my walk-in closet is all I need. Yay! I always hated that dresser anyway. Ashcan the headboard, too. Oak is out; dark cherry is in.<br />
<br />
Whew! Minimalist wardrobe and bedroom arrangement; lots of cool jewelry. I wear a new set every day, even if it's just to Starbucks; even if the gems are paired with jeans or a golf outfit. Surprising the number of compliments I get on my glitter from complete strangers.<br />
<br />
If you want to read about a heroine who has REALLY interesting attitudes about jewelry, meet Liv, in LIE CATCHERS. She's intent on solving two cold cases is Petersburg, Alaska, and she uses jewelry to catch lies!

As an author, I've used them a lot.<br />
<br />
I rediscovered how much fun it was to talk about writing all in the context of talking about gardening. I had a lot of audience interaction, and I was able to work in talk about my books while talking about gardening.<br />
<br />
Sometimes you need these "surprise" events to make you realize you're having fun. Now back to writing -- I have a new poison idea I want to explore.<br />
<br />
Just kidding. Kind of.<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-34648453673340698832015-02-16T05:00:00.000-05:002015-02-16T05:00:08.164-05:00Storytelling in other forms or... "I went to Disneyland!"Last Saturday was my son's 30th birthday... yes, he was born on Valentine's Day and no, it wasn't planned. But it was a happy accident that we've been amused by over the years.<br />
<br />
Since this birthday number was fairly significant, a bigger than usual celebration was needed so he opted to go to Disneyland. This is one of my favorite places so we all went, hubby and I driving down from the Bay Area to do so. We went on our favorite rides, sometimes more than once, and saw a show or two, and generally enjoyed being together and the way Disney tells a story. It is all about story there, just as it is in our writing.<br />
<br />
Everything about the park is about story telling. Most attractions tell some kind of story, be it the pirates looking for Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, or that sinister bride with her sequence of beheaded husbands in Haunted Mansion. They even had big signs on temporary walls hiding construction that told of how Walt Disney had planned out the attraction being modified... which was odd but kind of cool.<br />
<br />
One of the better examples of story telling was this little stage show at the Royal Theatre. For those who haven't seen this, the Royal Theatre is relatively new and is a part of Fantasyland, sitting next to the castle on the hub. Several times a day they have a short 30 to 40 minute live show featuring the story of one of the Disney princesses. I've seen them do Tangled and Beauty and the Beast in the past. This time they were doing Frozen.<br />
<br />
The cast consists of a piano player who performs the music, a pair of comic song-and-dance men, Mr. Smythe and Mr. Jones, and the princess whose story is being told. In the case of Frozen we had Queen Ilsa and Princess Anna. The princesses play themselves, Smythe and Jones do all the other characters, and there are four "damsels" dressed in medieval costumes who move stuff in and out, do props, chime in on the singing, and also work the crowd in the beginning to get the audience ready to participate, particularly the little kids sitting on large rugs in the very front, yelling huzzah or hissing the villian. If you've ever been to a show at a Renaissance Faire then this will be very familiar. Lots of interaction with the audience and participation is welcome. They even did a sing-along with the "Let it Go" song.<br />
<br />
And that is the brilliance of it. This is a wonderful way to introduce theatre to young children. Most already know the story, they are enthralled with seeing the "real" princesses in person, and the two gentlemen are so funny with the way they shrink a 90 minute plot into a thirty minute time slot.<br />
<br />
It was great fun and now I feel inspired to get back to finishing one of my new stories. After all, that is what a story-teller does, tell stories.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Who or what is eating the oranges in my fruit orchard?<br />
<br />
Every morning when I sit down to write at my computer, first cup of coffee steaming in my mug, I look out the window at the gravel around my orange tree and see a newly ravaged orange, skins clean of fruit, scattered a few feet from the tree. Mind you, these are sweet, delicious oranges, perfectly ripe, which are the envy of my friends and neighbors and well-loved by my husband and me. I don't mind sharing, but these thieves aren't asking. More than anything, I'm curious.<br />
<br />
Some animal, nocturnal, is coming into my fenced fruit orchard each night, removing a couple oranges from my tree, and chomping down on their prizes.<br />
<br />
Google suggests monkeys. Not possible. The internet is sure raccoons crave ripe citrus. But we don't see raccoons around here. Possums? Do they like oranges enough to pick them and eat them? I've seen a rat eat a downed orange, but how in the world would a rat remove an orange from a tree, shove it four to six feet from the tree and eat it? Google says roof rats, in particular, like oranges. I'm guessing a roof rat can hop on the top of my house, but climb a branch and snatch an orange...sounds far-fetched.<br />
<br />
I'd welcome your theory and/or a way to solve the mystery. <br />
<br />
Maybe I'm better at unsolved murders. I've got two of them in LIE CATCHERS, set in Petersburg, Alaska, where cold cases get downright frosty.<br />

of my Biggest Pitfalls is the same pitfall many people have in daily
life. You see the success of someone else and think, "Why can't I have
that?" <br />
For an author, it's "Wait a minute. She's
selling like hotcakes, how come I'm not?" Or it's "I know I'm as good a
writer as he is, so why is he the darling of the press today?"<br />
<br />
There's
no answer to this, of course. It's like looking at posts on Facebook
and thinking somebody else leads the perfect life. The whole author
thing could have a variety of causes. Better publicity; better word of
mouth; right place, right time.<br />
<br />
I remember hearing
Jenny Crusie talk once (Google her. She's an author and a damn good
one). She likened getting published to standing in the middle of a field
with a finished manuscript, holding it up to the sky, and having
lightning strike you. I content that "best sellerdom" is similar. It's a
lot of luck, right place, right time, and the right kind of promotion.<br />
<br />
I
have no idea what kind of promotion to do. I'm going to experiment this
year with a few things and see if anything makes a difference. And you
know what? If it doesn't make a difference, then that's okay, too. I'm
working full-time in a pretty stressful day job. There's only so many
hours in the day for me to work, write, and relax. Promo has to get
wedged in there somewhere. So I'll do what I can, and let the chips fall
where they may.<br />
<br />
I just have to keep reminding myself
that there are no answers to the Big Questions in Publishing, like "how
the hell did he sell that many books?" Ask the questions if you will,
but there really isn't a good answer...<br />

I can hardly believe it is January 21st and 2015 is in full throttle. I’m spending most of my time working on my next novel in the Highland Gardens time travel fantasy romance series, <i>Just Wait For Me</i>. I’m what writers call a <i>pantser</i>. I write by the seat of my pants—so to speak. Actually, the term means that I do minimal plotting before jumping in and letting the words flow.<br />
<br />
Words can be so much fun. The other day, while doing research, I stumbled across a new-to-me word in the <a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=fern-tickles&searchmode=none">Etymology Online Dictionary</a>. <i>Fern-tickles</i>. I just love the way the word sounds. <i>Fern-tickles</i> is from the late fourteenth century and means: freckles, spots or blemishes on the body.<br />
<br />
So, I just had to use the word in my book…<br />
<br />
Stephen meets Jillian for the first time in <i>Just Wait For Me</i>:<br />
<br />
<i>The lass standing before him must be the one of whom Munn spoke. Her garments were strange. Of a type of cloth unknown to him. But it was her face that left him spellbound. Dark lashes graced warm brown eyes specked with gold that made his insides shiver. And the tip of an impish nose sprinkled with fern-tickles—as if the lass was descended from the fae—begged to be kissed. And her lips—</i><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Now </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">if you know Spanish that translates into "The children of the night" and is a Dracula reference, clearly tongue-in-cheek. I was writing vampires and werewolves but I was writing humor as well and had a lot of fun creating my world. For example, my heroine works in a bar and many of the patrons are werewolves... so I provided bar snacks for them of puppy chow to go with their beer. It was meant to be fun but still a romance with my hero being a vampire who owns the bar, and my heroine a woman desperate enough for a job that she allows him to mark her as his companion. But he has demons, she has demons... the usual stuff that will get worked out over the course of the book.</span><br />

She meets a man who wants to be her companion and kidnaps her to get her to agree. </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">That book is a little sexier than All Night Inn but still a fun read. It garnered a bunch of great reviews and an RT Booklover's Top Pick and nomination for their Reviewers Choice Award back when it was first published.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18px;">Then I wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8H2LHC" target="_blank">Tasting Nightwalker Wine </a>about another vampire, Prince Sebastian and his favorite romance author, a lady who specializes in writing vampire books. I'm sure by now you can see how these books are really intended to make people laugh as much as sigh over the love scenes. One thing I loved was that I have a pair of werewolves in Tasting Nightwalker Wine, and the lady werewolf is pregnant... which means she's having cravings. But where my shapeshifters normally eat raw meat, she's craving vegetarian lasagna.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18px;">The last book I'm going to mention is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PE7761K" target="_blank">Ghosts Of Christmas Past</a> which I mentioned in my last post with the Christmas books. Again there is humor in that story, although it is less than in the novels. Sometimes a story comes out a little different. But the world remains the same, a bit of fun, a lot of romance.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">All four titles are available now at Amazon with the lovely new covers you see above and over the weekend I expect to make the novels available at other vendors as well. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">Since these are older titles in some cases they are a bit out of date. For example in All Night Inn a major plot point is that my hero and heroine don't have cell phones. This was because at the time cell phones were not something everyone had, and even if you had one the chances were a phone wouldn't work in a remote area such as where I located "Los </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Niños</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">". There just wasn't cell phone coverage the way there is today. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">I could have provided them with modern technology and found an excuse for the phones not to work, but instead I simply left the stories as they were. It was a personal choice not to update the story.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">So is anyone else resurrecting old titles? If so, what are you doing to them besides new covers and editing?</span><br />
