Oh, What a Day

I hate days that make me feel worthless as a human being. Unfortunately, being acquainted with assholes, this happens a lot. I found myself "Emo" today and wrote in my "Emo" blog that none of my real-life friends know about. The upside to days of depression is: I write. A lot. And usually, the stuff I come up with turns out pretty good. So, I suppose, as a horror writer, being depressed can be a good thing.

In the middle of all the drama over the last couple of days, something good happened. I received fan mail from a new reader. That always makes me smile :-) She said she had discovered my work through a friend of hers, who recommended a book of mine to her. So, to all you readers who help me spread the word and tell your friends about my books: THANK YOU! You have no idea what you all mean to me.

Well, time to quit feeling sorry for myself and clean the house. I already walked the puppy, so she's tuckered out, which means she won't try to attack the vacuum while I clean the upholstery :-P

Hello, Hello!

Just thought I would give the blog a new update. One day, I will have many readers, so I want archives, dammit! Ha ha.

Halloween was good. Went to a small party with just close friends (the kind I like) on Saturday night and then I went trick-or-treating with my sisters and nieces -- I even got candy since I was dressed up! Thank you to the nice man who handed me a baggie of candy. His house was really cool, too. It had a strobe light and a zombie that actually made crawling motions. Very cool.

I'm working on a couple of projects. "In Aeternum" is almost ready for Kindle. I'm going to write a long foreword for it because I have a lot to say, mainly about how I don't think it's that great of a story, but since several of my readers have asked me to publish it, I decided to go for it. I still haven't decided if it's going to be published as a hard copy or strictly Kindle. For now, it's just Kindle. Whether it becomes a hard copy will depend on demand.

I'm also working on an unnamed vampire action/romance story. I'm about 12,000 words into it, I think (last time I checked anyway). It's about a woman who, in the beginning, struggles with thoughts of getting out of a bad marriage. Her husband is addicted to porn and basically ignores her. This problem is more common than I ever knew of, so I thought it would be a good way to get some women to identify with the protagonist. There is also a sexy vampire that comes along ;-) And that's all you get for now on that!

I'll keep this blog updated on my upcoming projects.

Here's a couple Halloween pictures of me and my family:

This is me and my sister, Stephanie, who is dressed as a pirate.

These are my sisters (minus one), brother, my nieces, and myself.
