Okay so after finding out that there are still live bodies at Live journal who are still reading posts and posting posts, I think I will be in here a little more often. I need a REAL journal damnit! This posting happy bright giddily-colored posts everywhere for the sake of my reading public, or my photography clientele is killing me. I need dark people, dark and dreary, and woebegone. At least I do right now.

I am still looking for a job in this God-forsaken economy. It is not fun, let me tell you. If you even so much as conceive the idea to quit your job, DON'T! The grass is NOT greener. I have about two more months before I will be in dire straits with house payments, and credit card people.

I have tried the garage sale thing, to no avail. i swear people do not want to buy anything! they want it for FREE. F-R-E-A-K-I-N-G Free! I couldn't give stuff away. Maybe it's just my sucky life right now. I never said I was a salesman.

The only bright spots at the moment are, Crooked Angel is slated for publication in like May of next year. And my editor is working on my edits for the next YA fantasy, Loran Rudder and the Secret Key, as I type. Woo hoo. Go me.

So post up in here and tell me your tales of woe. I need to take my eyes off myself for a little while.

is anyone still out there using LJ?

... so where have I been for these last couple months?...

1. not writing
2. working my hum hum off
3. struggling with working at a place that didn't understand me
4. most recently, giving notice to the place that employed me but didn't understand me
5. finding a new job

Yanno, giving fifteen long years to a place and then leaving it is reallly a tough call. Thank God that He in his infinite wisdom knew to send me some place else.

I am now gainfully Re-employed with a great new place, with awesome computer loving people and tada! WORKING FROM HOME!

yayy me.

Actually, a vampire hunter. They get to wear such great gear and hang out with really bad-mean types. Of course they are always on the run and end up in the most awful circumstances...

I am so glad it is finally the weekend. The only trouble I see is that it is supposed to rain. Guess that means I am going to be writing!!

... and yes, my second mystery, Buried Angel is going to PRINT! whoo hoo!

.. well, so -- when is a NEW book coming out from me? TBA...

and yes, life is GOOOD!

my latest short story is now available for reading at http://www.cafeofdreamsbookreviews.com -- it is a type/sort of romance... at least it will be if you read between the lines... it is called Anchors Away and I hope you enjoy it!
