Snow!

Soooo...Chicago is getting slammed with snow now. I'm not gonna complain. I'm comfy in my pajamas and playing on my I-Pad (when I should be writing). Hey, life is great! The Chicago Blackhawks are having an awesome season, I self-published my second book, Merchants with Evil Intent, which is selling very nicely and I'm chillaxin' with my husband Roy!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

How do people find the time to blog and write a manuscript? I peruse blogs and Twitter and it amazes me that people have the time to do these things. As you can tell by my blog I'm a little busy writing stories with little time for much else. My bad!

I recently released my second book, Merchants with Evil Intent and I have to say, I'm pretty proud of it. The main characters, Camryn and Declan were so much fun to be with! I've pondered bringing them back into my next book, but I think I'll let them rest and maybe come back to them at a later time.

I've been asked about the song list I used to write "Merchants" and let's just say that I listened to a lot of U2 and Van Morrison. Near the end of the story, at a pivotal point, I played "Everyone Hurts" by REM. Hell, I even cried as I wrote that particular piece. Silly? Yeah, maybe, but it was some pretty deep shit going on during the scene. I wonder if readers felt the emotion that I did? I can only hope I conveyed it in writing as well as I played it out in my head.

I'm currently working on my third story...working title Wicked Game. It's another paranormal involving three wacky ghosts who interact with Emily, the owner of an antique shop. 

The story is almost completed and I've already sketched out my next story which I'm itching to work on. It's a slight departure from what I've written so far as there are currently no paranormal aspects to it. It's a hockey romance! Why hockey? Why not?

Go Chicago Blackhawks! #1 in the league!
