Congrats to a winner

I had a chat at Novelspotters yesterday and ran a drawing for a nice little gift basket.

Several people responded with the correct names of my books and their names were put in the hat.

Becky from Wisconsin won and I want to congratulate her. YAY!

I had a great time at the chat, even though the emails were late, or nonexistent, but heck, that's Yahoo.

Well, I have to get back to moving.

Have a great day.

Promo-ing

Woohoo!

It looks like both MBaM and Loose Id are back up and running so I'm out there promoting my books. Or at least going in to groups and making my signature lines available. I call it Subliminal Promoting. I actively post in the groups and most of the time, that's all I need. I've changed out my sig lines to show that my books are available and the links (cause I know I'm lazy and if I have to work for it, then it might not happen). I mostly post in groups I at least monitor on a regular basis. I'm not a crasher... much. I try not to, anyway.

Writing's going well, sorta, and no matter what, I'm going to finish writing Auras before I go on to the next three books I have in the outline stages. :) Hey, I have to get one story out of my head before I start another or the characters drive me bonkers.

School starts on Tues the 5th of Sept... I suppose I'll be starting to pack then. We probably have until Oct in this house, but heck, why wait until the last minute? I want everything we don't use every day, packed neatly and in the garage. That way, all we have to do on move day, is move.

Okay, I'm going back to work. Have a great weekend.

Sitting here, wasting time

Not really, Okay, yes really, but my e-mail has all been gone through enough to get on with my day, and I'm thinking of heading outside, where it's quiet, and write for a little while before the teens all wake up. The youngest is already awake because we had her orientation for school today. The orientation consisted of getting up and being at the school by 8 am, then her picking up her schedule, then getting her books. We left the school at 8:18 and she's watching tv in the living room. :)

There is still a lot going on at my house. We received official notice of intent to sell from the landlord, so... I guess we are definitely going to move. Wish me luck. :) But for today, or at least this morning, I'm going to try to write.

JBuL Has A Blog

All right.

You hear about my CP and the gang. This weekend, we started a blog. We call ourselves JBuL, which stands for Just Between us Ladies and include several great writers, some great writers who will be famous as soon as they get off their duffs and get published, and me.

LOL

Check it out...

JBul Blog

Not sure yet, what we are going to do there, but heck, it can't be anything but interresting. LOL

Keep on trying

Not sure of the updates on either the MBaM (which is the company that Samhain sells through), or the credit card function of Loose Id.

I can only suggest, keep trying.

I know you want to read my story, and I REALLY want you to read it.:)

I'll redo my promo work once I know for a fact that the sites are up and running again.

I must complain about this month. It's been a doozy. LOL

I'd rather just get it over with and not have to repeat it.

Anyway, I have to write, so, good luck with the sites.

Don't forget to buy!

Yes, I know that MBaM where Tree Sprite is available is down. Darn it. They are changing servers, so I can't sell books.

Yes, I know that Loose-Id where Howling In The Moonlight is available is down. They have a credit card malfunction that they are working on, so I can't sell books.

Hopefully, these two servers will get back up and running before you forget my books are on sale and can purchase them.

Yes. I am pretty upset about this situation, since it's been going on for days. Can you tell?

Here I am out there, bothering the readers, promoting my toucas off, and I get readers saying they are unable to make the purchase. Sigh.

Well, I guess I'll just have to keep bugging the readers once the sellers are back up.

Howling In The Moonlight Released

Going Nowhere 1: Howling in the Moonlight

Brenda Bryce

Genre: Shifter Paranormal

Length: Novel

Price: $5.99

Purchase NOW!



Lannie Michaels has had enough. She leaves her home in the city for a nice, quiet stint of sculpting in a small town called Nowhere. When her mistrusting almost fiancé catches up with her trying to get her back, so does a killer of unfathomable evil, who wants to keep them apart.

Kyle Sylia is only in town to get his mate back after a catastrophic misunderstanding. He will do anything to make her his permanently. An upcoming showing, a crazed werewolf killer, a skeptical and angry sheriff, a hunter, and hyped up pheromones, are not the way he expected the reunion to progress.

During a showing of her artwork, Lannie discovers something new about herself, and Kyle is to blame. Who knew her boyfriend had kept so many life altering secrets from her? Oh well, the sex is phenomenal, but the tail will take some practice.

Now they just have to clear the area of terror, before Lannie loses her temper and bites someone.

Oh man... I'm super jazzed about this release. HITM has a special dedication to my readers, and MUAH! Thank you for not letting me give up on it.

Great Writing Site

My critique partner musta been hinting at something, cause she sent me this great site.

The Cache is
Tracy Duckart's Instructional Website at Humboldt State University and has great information on things like Point of View, characterization, setting and all kinds of other writing information.

Check it out, I will be.

Now... Tree Sprite has gotten a great review. Check out my Tree Sprite Page and Check out the Two Lips Review. I'm quite happy with it, and MUAH to Frost.

Howling in The Moonlight will be out the 15th. Tuesday. It's a werewolf story, contemporary, and I sure hope you like it. This was my first completed manuscript and danged if it didn't get rejected MANY, MANY times.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you that so soon. LOL. Well, I still hope you like it.

I'm still working on Auras, but since it was *temporarily* rejected (I'll be doing rewrites until it's accepted, believe me), I have taken a little pouty break. I'll be cranking on it next week. Sure would love to finish it soon.

Hm, OH! I'm going to have to move. After 11 years, the landlord has decided to sell the house, so the teens, hubby and I are going to be looking for an interim place. I told hubby that internet is a must, otherwise, I don't care where I live. We are supposed to be looking at a state move soon, so this will only be a temporary stop. Sigh, if it isn't one thing, it's another. I'll keep you updated. My Flylady blog will be my "how does an author with three teens move?" diary, so if you're interrested... I'll be starting it today. We have about 60 days at least, to do this move, so, it should be interresting.

Well, that's it for now.
