For Goodreads

Oh, clever me. I've found out a way to include my own photos in a Goodreads blog post. You can only link to photos from the Internet, so if I post them here I have access to them there! And you get to see them. That's good too. But if you'd like to see my other blog (it's ok - Blogger and I have an open relationship) then follow this link! Here's the photo I need. Enjoy.

The Battle for Liberty

Here's a sneak peek of the cover and a drawing for my new book The Battle for Liberty! It's also fantasy. This one started out as an adaptation of The Nutcracker and took off from there. Barely any bit of my original premise exists; just a few snippets in the first two chapters. Hopefully it'll be published by the end of the year.

Masquerade Ball

Masks are terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future. That's why we all have masked balls, is it not? Well, here are some pictures from a recent masquerade I attended. No one's wearing masks, however, because it seems they all got tired of wearing them. I guess they're not all that comfortable after all.

Texas Visit

I took a trip to Texas recently with my husband. We got to hang out with my parents as well as my sister and her husband. They moved to Austin after getting married. The group of us traveled all over - Austin, Brazos Bend, Kemah, Enchanted Rock, Kennard...and you don't know most of those places even existed. That's alright; you'll get to see them now.

The Calm Within the Storm is on Amazon

Well, the Kindle version has been, but now the paperback version is available through Amazon! Yay! The link is here. Enjoy. :)

Highland Games

Have you ever thought about what instrument is the least flattering? Me neither really, until I watched a bagpipe competition. I don't think you can take a good photograph of a piper. These photos prove my point. Well, the girl in the last photo looks cute as can be, but she isn't playing the instrument quite yet. She gets a pass.
