So this is what's going down ...

1. Check out The Monarch Review where a short story of mine is published. It's called When She Flicks The Latch. If you can't be bothered, or don't have time to read the story, you should just go to check out the mag anyway. It's awesome. They even take music submissions! And guess what my recent submission to them is? One of my String Bridge songs! Looking forward to hearing from them about that. (PS: The String Bridge link is a website in progress created especially for the book and soundtrack. It will launch properly on November 1st.)

2. Finally received my print run of Twisted Velvet Chains! If you're one of those people who ordered signed copies, or I promised review copies, they're on their way as I speak! Speaking of TVC, Laura Diamond is posting a review of it today on her BLOG. Thank you, Laura!

3. Got my semi-final proofs of String Bridge this morning! One last read through and it's off to print the ARCs. If you've signed up to receive an ARC for my Blog Tour, expect an email from me within the month! :o) PS: There's still time to sign up!

4. I'm reading a historical novel called, Norah, by Cynthia G. Neale at the moment. It's long. And it's taking me forever. But I'm enjoying every single moment of it. If you're a fan of historical fiction, I suggest you purchase it! I'm going to be showcasing her here in the near future. Once I get through the book.

5. I've been asked to be an administrator for a new blog inspired by France's Salon Movement of the 17th & 18th centuries. Purpose: to inspire, educate and provide a platform for discussion and artistic expression and collaboration by bringing together artists, musicians, writers, and visionary thinkers, human rights activists, tinkerers & designers, even athletes. Founder's name is Deanna Elaine. I've very excited to see what she has in store for me!

6. I've teamed up with Bridge Social Media to help promote my books. It's a new business which has just launched. And I foresee it becoming a great success for the two gals running it. Here's what they're all about in brief: "With more than 15 years of combined marketing and communications experience, we'll bridge the gap in your marketing plan and effectively link you to your target audience." If you're an author with limited time to spend online, you should check them out.

... Um ... I think that pretty much sums everything up ... Oh no, wait! I've almost finished my second novel!!!! Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
