Autumn

I'm not certain what happened -- other than life speeding by faster than a F5 hurricane -- but one minute it was February and now it's the first day of Fall. The old cliché: In the blink of an eye comes to mind.
I visited a local retail store yesterday, here in my hometown, and was surprised to discover their Christmas displays were out in full force. Really? Snows I'm looking at you.

Meanwhile, I've been busy with writing, working the day job, fighting the snarls of summer traffic that comes with living on the coast of New England, and trying to stay focused and organized. Never easy.

The first order of business -- start posting on my blog again! So here I am.

Check back soon (very soon!) as I present some of my favorite authors and many of their new books. :)

Another New Release

Check out the newest middle-grade novel by Kimberly Newton Fusco! Beholding Bee features eleven-year-old orphan, Bee, who struggles to find a loving home and hiding the birthmark on her face. Set around the time of WWII, this heartwarming story is also infused with a touch of magic.

Kimberly Newton Fusco is the author of two previous novels for children -- The Wonder of Charlie Anne and Tending to Grace

New Year, New Dreams

First of all, one of my resolutions for last year was to post more on my blog. I beat out 2011 by 7 more posts in 2012. That's something...

Okay here are my resolutions for 2013:

* Cut down on sugar consumption. Eat healthier.

* Do some sort of exercise everyday, even if for only a few minutes.

* Finish current work-in-progress (I'm getting closer to typing The End)

* Start next writing project (Actually, I have already written a couple of chapters)

* Get back to sending out queries for my first two completed novels.

* Find a new day job until the next goal is accomplished.

* Work on planning to start my own business -- A store devoted to everything romance. A romance bookstore with the emphasis on promoting romance books and the fabulous authors who write them!

Wouldn't you love one in your town?

Ring in the New Year

Have a Happy, Healthy New Year!!

 

And a creative, fulfilling 2013 :)

Looking Ahead

With one year coming to a close and another on the horizon, I prepare for reflections and resolutions.

This is a time when blogs, websites, newspapers, and radio and television news programs are inundated with recaps of the year. As well as predictions for the year ahead. Who did what, who didn't do whatever, who will do something...who divorced, who cheated, who died, who had babies. Which tragic event was worse than the others. The entertainment industry -- including movies, music, theater, and television -- gear up for an endless parade of tiresome award shows.
The news conglomerates talk of nothing else except what has happened over the last twelve months (unless, of course, another tragic, traumatic event happens during this time)
It's a constant barrage of information about people and our surrounding world that is so often too much to assimilate. 
 
Meanwhile, my goals and resolutions for 2013 are many. Some the same as in years past, some new and different. I have moved to a new town -- actually it's the town I lived in as a child -- and I'm finally ready to embrace the next stage of my life. I feel like a cat with many lives, and hope my new challenges will be exciting and fulfilling.

2013 resolutions to come soon...

 

Enjoy the rest of 2012.

 

Peace! 

Happy Holidays
