Claimings

GalaClaimingThis is the story of how bad reviews, my mother's health, and a pair of homophobic parents conspired (and failed) to stop the Claimings sequel



Well, the Claimings sequel is done and off to the betas. In two weeks, I will be turning that puppy in to Loose Id.

I’ve titled this one Assimilation, Wars, and Other Human Oddities, but we’ll see what the publisher calls it.

The first novel flew out of me as fast as I could write it, but this new one… oy! If I hadn’t promised fans of the first book that I was working on a sequel, I would have walked away. READ MORE



And an update on my mother...
She is doing really well. She's still weak and walking is limited, but she has recovered all speech, and she insists that she feels sharper and smarter than she did before the stroke--that might have something to do with the doctor removing a 90% blockage in her carotid artery. But long story short--she's on track for a full recovery.

It is SOOO good to hear that your Mom is doing soo good!
and I soooo understand about not being able to write, going on two years now and the muse has not come back from hiding!! I can't seem to him out of the cave that something happens and back he goes. I am so glad you can write out your emotions. Mine are still bottled and I don't know when they will get out.
Hugs and take care
