Progress How Novel 93

 

It's September which means Hootin An Hollarin, a craft festival here in Gainesville MO on the third week of the month. There will be demonstrations and games as well as craft displays. I will be manning my booth alone that Friday and Saturday as always since I don't have an assistant or any family who wants to help. The festival actually starts Thursday Evening with pageantry and music but since it rarely entails sales that evening I skip that. Others make a few sales here and there that evening yet on the whole most people go for the music and to look but not to buy. I love doing in-person events and this is a very fun event. If you're in the neighborhood stop on by and enjoy some down home music and beautiful crafts.

I've been working on a couple of WIPs. It's slow going as my muse is being her fickle self. 

I 'd like to try to finish the Elemental Voice series. I need to finish a series and promote the he!! out of it. I have over 14 books out yet not one series completed. So I'm going to try to focus on Elemental Voice as it is almost finished. I have 1 additional book in EV plus the 2 novellas. So Deadly Sea, Deadly Tempest, and Spirit Talker are still to come in the EV world.  

Then I have 2 books that have been in the queue for awhile that I want to get out. That is if my muse let's me. My muse is fickle as I said and I don't know what she will do. Plans mean nothing to her. But the Alliance book is one of these two. It's been sitting there for a long time and it's about time for it to come out.

I've still been looking for more in-person events near me but when you're in nowhere Missouri and most of the events are on the East & West coasts...Well it makes the travel prohibitive.  I've signed up for 2 this year. But the one I had to skip because of lack of funds. Would be nice if I made enough to fund that trip but I have to snag money from my disability to cover the rest and I can't really justify it this year. The two I signed up for are local and fair money makers.  

In Bone Whisperer, the FMC reads bones sort of like a ghost whisperer. Her BFF is the sheriff, and she helps him work his cases. If you're interested in checking this out Playbones 

In Elemental Voice, the FMC reads the earth like a medium hears the dead and finds buried items--mostly dead bodies--for the local sheriff's office at the beginning in a world where psychics work regularly with law enforcement and vampires live next door. In later books she works with her vampire FBI agent fiance and his partner. If you're interested in checking out these older Elemental UF Books.

In Ghostwolf  the MMC sees the evil humans do to one another every day as a Homicide detective and hates the necessity of his job. But this murder—it raises his hackles. What he uncovers is far more than a pathological motive, it's like something out of a horror movie or a Grimm's fairy tale. Everything points to a supernatural being, a werewolf, as the killer, causing him to doubt himself—and his mysterious new partner. If you're interested in checking out this series  here's the first book Raven Manor

Have you checked out my website yet?  Here is the link: The Rook  Check it out and tour a world where psychics work regularly with the police and vampires live next door, a world where werewolves hide among us and can manipulate energy(magic), two worlds with dragons, and a world where a Time-Lost tries to stop the past from repeating itself.

I will still update these blogs periodically. When new books come out definitely. These are still my babies and I won't desert them. But they'll definitely get dusty. And maybe repetitive.

No festivals or barbecues for me. Just writing. I got another WIP I need to get out before the September festival.

I 'd like to try to finish the Elemental Voice series. I need to finish a series and promote the he!! out of it. I have over 14 books out yet not one series completed.

The two I signed up for are local and fair money makers.  

 I need names for two female Ravens. They are important characters in my Bone Whisperer series and they don't like being called Raven one and Raven 2 Or H1 & H2 since they ain't Odin's male pair. What would you call them?
