Through the Flames Cover Reveal!

I am so excited for this book to come out. It is #2 in my Into the End series. Through the Flames. I have been beaten and left for dead writing this thing and I hope when you get a chance to read it, you'll be as affected as me. But better.

What do you think?

Stay tuned for the blurb!

Camping Time!

I'm AWOL over here, have you noticed?

With rain and sun in the Northwest, it's perfect camping weather and yep, we're taking advantage. But camping is hard with a 7 month pregnancy stomach and aches. lol.

I don't have much to contribute to the blogosphere today except for a top 5 list of what NOT to take camping (especially in Northern Idaho).

  1. A BB gun. If you're taking a gun for protection, take one that will do damage. A BB gun will just make animals or attackers mad.
  2. Anything sticky - not alot of sinks with soap available. Yuck.
  3. A phone. Who would you wanna talk to? You're CAMPING!
  4. A computer. Seriously. Unhook and enjoy the nature around you.
  5. Anything silky. Omw! Sticks and stuff will rip that material without another thought.
I'm taking marshmallows, my writing stuff, kids, dirtbikes, and of course water. What else do you need?

Something Drastic This Way Comes...

Good morning or whatever time you're visiting.

And how are you? What do you have planned for today?

Okay, here's my question for you on this potentially glorious day.

Your town is bombed (where did the glorious part go? Jeesh) and you're not home. What do you do? Where will you go? Who do help or seek out? Are you prepared to be stuck somewhere or in your car or?

Go!

And have a great day. I hope no bombs go off for you unless they are good news bombs dropped in your lap!

Can You Handle Changes?

I'm dealing with a ton of changes right now that apply to my writing world and everything else. Wanna hear?
  1. Baby is almost here - have 14 weeks left and yes, that's not nearly enough time.
  2. Fatigue seems to be my new besty! Grr.  I always have some level of fatigue, but this new level is unreal!
  3. Work has opted on using a new platform and since I've started that it takes me three times as long to get my work done - this is frustrating since I get paid on production and not by the hour.
  4. My 2-year-old doesn't like to leave my side - oh, wait, this isn't a change. This has been the case since he was born. Can't get rid of him lol. He literally freaks when I leave the room. This makes it very hard for me to take baths or relax when he is up. Any advice?
  5. I've chosen to change up the release dates of my upcoming books - Through the Flames (#2 of Into the End) will still come out in a few weeks, but instead of releasing the second book of the Barely Alive series, I'm going to finish the Into the End trilogy first as well as release the novella of that series. Then, once that is done, I will complete the Barely Alive series - this makes it easier on my brain so I'm not story hopping and can fly through the series.
  6. While so many are saying the recession is over, I'm feeling it now more than ever. I hope everyone else who is having difficulties with the economy has a respite soon.
  7. My son turns 8 this weekend. My first born.  He will baptized in July, but before that, he joins Cub Scouts and all kinds of things. I'm kind of freaking out a bit. *Tear*
  8. My CPs have upped their games which is awesome. We are all cranking out the word count and pushing each other as hard as we can. Woot!
I think that's all that's going on right now besides the normal daily hoopla. What's going on in your neck of the woods? Do you have any hurdles holding you back or any nitro pushing you forward?
