Long Time, No See?

IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER, you've undoubtedly seen my daily tweets about a book signing, and you're asking yourself: What is she talking about? Is she really making an appearance? It's WHERE again? Where has she been ALL this time, anyway, and what has she been doing?

Let me put your mind at ease.

Yes, I really will be making an appearance. I will be signing books, along with many other authors, at a local author signing event at the Mansfield Richland County Public Library on October 14th. Click here for details. Please come and support all of the creative local talent. I'd love to meet and chat with you about writing, life, food, your favorite pet, and anything in between. Two other author friends of mine will be there, too. The first is E. Michaels, who is about to publish a second mystery novel for children called, The Greatest Summer Vacation. Be sure to check out the cover and excerpt that was recently revealed. The second author, John Caldwell, is a super-nice guy who writes the popular Tom Price detective stories.

And, if you're looking for a good scare this Halloween, be sure to pick up a copy of my second novel while you're there. It's called, Haunted Voices from My Past: True Narratives of an Ohio Family. With well over forty haunting stories, I'll take you on an unforgettable journey through the paranormal, the macabre, and the unexplained. And, yes, they're all TRUE stories that happened to me and my family over the past one hundred years. If you can't make it to the book signing, you can grab a copy anywhere books are sold.

Back to your questions: 1. What is she talking about? Check. 2. Is she really making an appearance? Check. 3. It's where again? Check. 4. Where has she been all this time, anyway, and what has she been doing? 

*Sigh*

The answer is hard. The answer is simple. The answer is in the mirror. The answer is at the time clock. The answer is in the face of those you love. The answer is in the tiny frog who hangs on the screen and peeks in the window. The answer is in the way you wait for something, anything to happen.

Where has she been all this time, and what has she been doing?

The same as you.

A Long Haul

YES, I know I've been uncharacteristically quiet these past few months. I assure you, though, it's been with good reason . . .

I've been writing like mad!

(Big surprise, I know!)

So, now that I have that cleared up, I'd like to announce the publication of my third book, Nonessential: The Expansion Paradox. Yes, you heard me right! My thought-provoking sci-fi is now available to the public. This latest project of mine has been a long haul, and, for me, an artistic and literary achievement. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this release, and I hope you'll take the time to read the excerpt and watch the trailer before ordering.

From the back cover:

Times are changing . . .
And so is the world.

 
Times are changing—
Not always for the better—
And with that change comes need
And the desire for knowledge.
And with that knowledge
Arises the purpose of life and man
And the origin of want and waste.

 
NONESSENTIAL: THE EXPANSION PARADOX

Three Men. Two Agendas.
Only ONE Possible Future.
