BOOK TWO HAS LAUNCHED!!

Today is a great day.  I now have my second book, 'Sara Meets Dizzy', available to purchase on Amazon.  If you click on the pictures for 'Sara's Magic World' or 'Sara Meets Dizzy' you will be taken directly to Amazon.ca which is the Canadian site.  If you live in another country you can then change the Amazon site to your country before you purchase the books.  My books are available on Amazon worldwide.

It has been an enjoyable task creating these children's books, but now it's time to dig deep and finish my fiction novel 'Josephine' so that everyone can enjoy it too.

I have returned to classes in order to learn how to become a better writer.  You will be hearing from me soon with an update on the progress of the novel. In late October, I will put up some information about Book Three in the children's series,'Time with Sara'.  I haven't decided on a title yet, but it definitely will have something to do with Christmas.

New Book Available Soon

As you know, I have been working on a new Children's Book and have put up a copy of the cover.  This book is almost complete and will be available soon on Amazon Worldwide.  I have all the text completed and am just finishing up the photos.  This book is a story about when Sara  meets a kitten named Dizzy.


In my last post, I uploaded the new cover and title for my novel.  The writing on that is moving along pretty good.  I have passed the 20,000 word mark and am delighted about that.  The next few weeks will be all about getting the Children's book ready for sale, and to try and reach 30,000 words on the novel before I return to classes in late September.


That's all for now friends.  I will let you know when Sara Meets Dizzy is available for sale so that you can buy it.  I will then put in the link on the site.

UPDATE

Well I have been working hard and there are a few changes.  The novel I'm working on has a new title and book cover so tell me what you think about it.  Does it relate better to the short blurb I posted earlier?

I have put a picture of the new cover here on the site for comments.  I also have been working on a second Children's Book and will update you on that soon.  Now time to get back to work.

My Summer

Well the school year is over for me.  I will resume classes in September, and I now will spend my summer writing.  My aim is to either complete my first full draft, or be close to it before my first class on September 23, 2015.


I still have not received any comments about the short item I posted from the book.  This disappoints me, so I will soon try another method to obtain feedback.


I will try to get this blog out to a larger audience on this and other social media sites.


I will not be returning to this page until September 1st to let you know how my progress is going.  If you have any questions or comments, I will be notified from the site so please feel free to respond.


Thank You,


"Now on to intense writing."

WRITING TIME

Well now that classes are over until the fall it is time to write.  I plan to get a great deal accomplished over the next three months on my novel.  I have put  a couple of paragraphs below for you to get a short view into "Josephine."  I hope you will give me feedback on what you think.


I have been busy getting other life things out of the way so there will be full concentration on writing for several hours each day.  Yesterday I spent just proofreading and doing grammar corrections on the first couple of chapters and believe they are in order.  I can now move forward with completing the remaining chapters.


FROM JOSEPHINE

As I began to slip into a deep depressive state, I had my second husband removed, with the help of law enforcement, from our home.  Within a few months, lost in alcohol every day, I agreed to return the children we adopted back to the agency to get proper care and counseling.

I’ve lost everything; two families, two marriages, my job, my apartment but most of all myself.   I now am staying with friends until I can figure out how to put my life back together.

So now tell me what you think of the above two paragraphs and if you would continue to read from there.

Working Hard

I know it has been a while since I've been here, but the work has been hard in Grammar class.  I am finally getting to figure out how to make my manuscript grammatically correct, hopefully.


I am still writing,and have reached the 15,000 word mark. I have hopes of getting to 20,000 in the next couple of weeks.


I know everyone is anxious to see a short clip of my story, but be patient. It will be on here soon.


I have been keeping an eye out on purchases of my short children's book that is available on Amazon.  Thank you to those who have already purchased a copy.

REVISIONS

I have taken several days to do all my revisions and now am ready to get back to work on my novel.  I have set aside a minimum of three hours a day to just write for the next month and see how far it takes me.


I am also currently registered in a few classes which will assist me in better quality work and one course that will just be writing for fun.


Once I get further into the novel I will share a short section with you, and I would appreciate your comments, good or bad as everything will help me make it stronger.


Well time to run, stuff to do, then a little time to relax.
