Blog Blues

I've been finding it difficult to get over here and put up new posts. I blog at 5 group blogs a month and try to be a guest on other blogs every month. Writing all of those makes the well dry when it comes to my blog.

Over the years I've tried having different days be about certain subjects and that didn't seem to bring more bloggers over to my blog.

My goal is to keep the blog up, but I'll only blog here once a week with releases, events that are happening, or something fun that comes along. Like my ride-along this Saturday with an ODFW Officer to learn more about my character in the mystery series that will come out next year. I was looking forward to it, but seeing as how there is a good 8-10 inches in the area where I'm riding along...I'm thinking this may be interesting. We'll have more time for me to pick his brain, I think, than actual checking on fishermen and the outdoors.

If you have something you think people who read my blog would like to see here, let me know in the comments. 

I'm excited to be part of the Wild Deadwood Reads Anthology that will be available in print and ebook May 1st.  I'll be posting all the info here when it is available. It is 17 short stories by authors who are attending the Wild Deadwood Reads Event June 7th-10th at Deadwood, SD.  The stories are either present day, historical, or have a paranormal element in them. All the proceeds from the print and ebooks will go to Western Sports Foundation an organization that helps rodeo athletes with medical bills.

I have a lot of other exciting things coming up. Next week I'll be attending the Left Coast Crime Conference in Reno, NV.  I hope to have some photos and info here after that event or possibly during.

Enjoy your day!

Guest Blogging

Today you can find me guest blogging at Genene Valleau's "Twelve Days of Christmas" contest at her newest release "Feathers on the Floor" blog.

Genene and I spend a lot of time promoting our work and hoping to catch just one more reader with each endeavor. I've missed several chat opportunities this month do to family commitments. But I'm hoping to start full steam in January with inundating the chats, blogs, and talk radio.

When I get my tree decorated, I'll put a photo up here. That is if I can fit it all in the picture! The dh and I went in the woods Saturday and came home with a whopping 18 foot tree! It's gorgeous and fits perfect where we wanted it in the house, but now comes the fun of decorating it! He's bringing a ladder from work tonight. I'm sure from the size of the tree wit will take a couple days to get it decorated.

I baked the gingerbread people yesterday and now have to get them decorated so I can make the garland to string on the tree.

That's about all the news from me today. Come on over to Genene's blog and see what I have to say over there. And if you're a writer, you might be interested int eh topic I blogged about at our chapter blog.
