It has been a while since I've blogged, I realize that. Time seems to be slipping away from me this summer. It has been busy, busy, busy. Fortunately, I have a wonderfully supportive bunch of friends and family that help keep me grounded. That and I typically end up spending the evening like this:

And, as it just so happens, this is exactly what is happening this very moment.

Now scroll to the bottom...WHAT?! Holy smokes, Batman! My book is gaining a little traction and being featured (very nicely I might add) on promo emails! I even got a few retweets. This is very exciting news to me, someone who is still trying to figure out my social media and marketing presence without being completely obnoxious about it. And now it is time for me to shamelessly plug their Twitter handle @KindleRomanceReview.

As for my writing update, I'm working hard on book 2 of my Western Dreams Series. This work-in-progress tells the story of Warner Ellis, the eldest brother, who is stoic, duty bound, and just a little bit guilt-ridden. His life is turned upside down very early in the book and my female protagonist, Rachel, keeps him guessing in the most shocking ways. I have a long way to go until it is finished, but I'm making progress on it every day.
