This one is easy. I have only SEEN one movie :) and it was Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief. Not bad as flicks go, seeing as how I had never read the books. Now that I am reading the book, eh... not so much.

I am sort of liking some new music by Christian artists right now, names escape me. And books? Oh my. Don't get me started. I am in LOOOOOVE with the fabulous Catherine Bybee, but a new Nick Valentino with his Thomas Riley ranks right up there. I am soooo wanting to try my hand at steampunk!

So. I got the PDF of my very first cover flat yesterday from my art director. OMG. I am so in love with the cover! Of course, I am in love with the whole book, but that's another post.

I never believed I would get this excited over my book, but I am. I totally understand other authors and all those squeee!s that they post. Consider this my squee!

I am thrilled with the fact that it is Friday too. I hope I get a ton of writing *yes, and housework* done this weekend.

If anyone comes up with the answer to how to make a cut away on LJ so I can do that and cut down on lengthy posts that no one wants to read, I am thankful for the info.

Off to tweet on Twitter-have a ton of #ff to do!

I am the worst sort of blogger. I have trouble keeping up in here for some reason. Now I am paying for it.

I do not remember how to do a cut so that I can post a REALLLY long post and everyone doesn't have to scroll past it forever. Anyone ? helllp!

Okay. No one told me that cons were these great big affairs with people in costume and panels in every room and readings going on in subdued corners and musicians playing in places where you could just go to sit and absorb.

I have major brain drain from this weekend but I am going to be doing a lot of talking about the con in days to come over at my blog. Join us! Writing Space

WOot! I am so excited about getting to go and be a part of this tradition! I didn't know this, but Midsouthcon has been going on in Memphis every year since the 1970s! Talk about a regular deal!

So, if you have been to a con this year or recently (or ever) and want to advise me on what to do at this one, please post away! I am a total con virgin.

lol what a strange question! but okay, it is for breaking a block... and well, i dont have that at the moment so... but still, i love TOASTED peanut butter sandwiches. you have to assemble it right though... toast the bread, spread butter on it and let it soften and melt, then slather on peanut butter.... ohhhh yeah. Think I may go get some right now!

My good cyber bud, Naomi Clark, is on book tour for her book Silver Kiss. I hope you will follow her around cyber space! She is giving away goodies on some of her stops!

SILVER KISS TOUR STOPS

Come out and join in the fun!

I am struggling. I have a dang fine idea for a YA fantasy, but I keep over thinking the opening. I have written and rewritten about five times now. I cannot seem to get past the first twenty pages. This is crazy. I don't think I have ever had this problem before.

I could blame it on the fact that I have been sick for the last month and it is getting really tiresome.

I doubt that is my problem though. I think I am too stressed about getting some writing done. Maybe I should just lighten up. It isn't like I have a deadline or anything. I just HAVE THE DESIRE to write.

sigh.

Thanks to my recent book tour with Pump Up Your Book Promotions, my article was picked up by the Chicago Sun TImes. I am very excited!

My blog, Writing Space has undergone a transformation for "LOVE DAY". I hope you will check it out and I also hope you have a lot of love on Valentines Day!

It has been a mad mad Monday. First we woke to snow! Yes! finally we got a great big wad of the white stuff and I took a ton o' pics HERE (look under WINTER 2010) and most of them are the crazy dog, Padfoot, dancing and jumping. She was SO excited about the snow.

Then I got to go into work late, and that was great. I actually got a little writing done beforehand.

And! Tonight! I got an email from the editor at Moongypsy Press and my YA A Mirror in Time is getting ever closer to being a real book! This is what it felt like to Pinocchio when he knew he was finally going to be a real boy. It's so EXCITING!!

Do you ever have days where you just cannot bring yourself to the writing chair? It's too warm, too sunny, too rainy, too cold? Maybe it's that you have too much housework, too many guests, too much shopping? For me it is always some of all of that. Some days any excuse will do.

Today it was a trip out of town. Not a long trip, only about an hour one way, but it is bothersome that I didn't take some writing along. I am using the "don't have a battery/car charger" for the laptop excuse for this one. Not really an excuse -- totally the truth-- but not a good reason. I could have taken ye olde paper and pen.

I did take along a book to read. It is purty good too. I needed a good one to read. Reading sometimes whets my appetite for writing.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with books that you have collected for one event or another and now no longer have room on the shelf for? I am thinking of donating... if anyone wants free books, message me!

My good friend, historical romance author, Dee Julian, interviewed me recently. She has graciously placed it on her blog here Dee's blog and I would love for you to stop by and say howdy.

Has ads always jumped in before you could get to your profile, or is this something fairly new? It is annoying as all get out. I want it to stop!

Today is the last day for the book tour. I have had a blast! It has been a lot of fun, and I am only regretting one thing. I GOT SICK! I have developed a terrible cold in my chest and sound like a bullfrog. I keep coughing too, so that is not a good thing.

If you wanna join me on this last day, go here Razlovers

I am also here until Saturday!

After this month long tour, I am going to go quiet for a while. Believe me, I have more more more coming!

I am here today at Working Writers but I am down sick with a cold. I have slugged coffee, tea, water, and everything in between to keep the scratchy throat to a minimum. I fear the fix is a doctor's office visit soon. Sigh.

Come by and say hi over at WW !

Today begins the last week of Virtual Book Tour 2010 for Buried Angel, the second book in the Shannon Wallace Mystery series. If you haven't gotten yours, go out to my site The Official Website and check out my sites. There are some giveaways going on and you could get it for free.

Today I am here at Beyond the Boooks and I hope you will join me!

Here we go!

On the book tour today, I am over : Personovelty and I hope you will join me!

I am over at One Pushy Broad today and I hope you can stop in and chat for a bit. I am getting down to the last of the week's stops and it has been a lot of fun!

I am over here at Mason's blog and we are talking writing. I love the layout theme of this blog and I think you will too. There is music, so be warned in case you are at work. I sort of enjoy listening to music as I read blogs so it didn't bother me, but wanted to let you know!
