We all experience our own challenges, personal heartbreaks and tragedies. I do my best not to flood the public space with mine. Instead, I try to work on constructive things.
Developmental edits for Bite Me are in and I’ve got a self-imposed goal to get them done by the end of the month. My actual deadline from my editor has a lot more time built in, but I do enjoy participating in NaNoWriMo so I’d like to complete these edits in time to hit the new manuscript on the 1st of November. That said, I’ll have quite a few guest posts next month talking about NaNoWriMo.
Also, OrD (also known as Or Draconis on FaceBook) and I recorded our third podcast this week with our very first special guest. Lots of fun and some great discussion so hopefully you’ll all get to listen to it this weekend. In the meantime, feel free to head over to mangorice.com to check out our first two episodes.
And finally, I feel like doing something fun. The Halloween season is one of my favorite times of year and giving stuff away to my readers cheers me up. So, I’m giving away a signed print copy of Gimme Shelter, anthology of the zombie apocalypse including my sci-fi action short, REMEMBER MY NAME. Hope you all enter to win and I might even have some surprise treats for everyone who enters. ![]()

I love how in this season, people’s creativity flourishes in decorating their homes and themselves for Haloween.
I’ve noticed that some of my most gut wrenching and heartbreaking writing has occurred during times of challenge; the only down side is the mental and physical drain when the challenge(s) has been met. On a lighter note, my 16 year old son LOVES anything Zombie related and I think this anthology would make a FANTASTIC Christmas gift for him! So, I’ll wait and see if I win, and if I don’t, then I’ll go buy it!
It’s been a rough month for a lot of people I know. And what’s better than free books!
I love the colors and scent of fall
and the candy :p
Hi All! I’v noticed some of you who’ve left blog comments aren’t reflected in the Rafflecopter. I’ll make sure to include your names in the drawing anyway. Thanks for stopping by!
