I'm outside writing by the pool, when coincidentally, this article came in from Flavorpill.  Check out these literary greats in their bathing suits.

Smoking Hot

Before I begin, please don't comment and leave me mean, nasty messages telling me I'm promoting smoking. I'm not. I don't smoke, and don't think anyone should.  That being said, since my novels take place in the 1950's, the reality is people smoked.  Cigarettes are a huge part of the time.  So, of course, I'm inspired by images of them.  Here are a few...

Hope

So I read today that a self-published author hit the million mark in sales. That definitely gives me hope.  I am trying to self-promote and sell my novel any way I can, but need some new opportunities. I'm proud of what I wrote and want more than anything to share it.  I love writing and hope others can see that in what I've produced so far.  Have a great Tuesday all.

What a Statement...

More inspiration I came across today...if you haven't purchased a copy of my first novel, Murder On The Boulevard yet, you can get it here.  Catch up soon so you're ready for the next in the series!

In Love With Film Noir

I'm still getting inspiration together for my second novel.  I'll begin writing on Tuesday after everything is settled at school.  I found this amazing photo shoot online that helps me to visualize some new characters!  I'm so excited, and had to share with you.  Hope you had a great weekend.

Inspiration

I'm about to embark on the writing process again to begin my 2nd book.  I'm so inspired by the many gorgeous photos out there.  I thought I'd share a few with you.

If you're also a writer, consider publishing your work with an Ebook publishing company for quality self publishing and convenience!

The City By The Bay

First I just want to say thank you for all the continued support with my novel, the new author blog, and of course Blonde Episodes.  I am overwhelmed by how many nice things people have been saying.

Murder On The Boulevard will very soon be available on the Nook for all you Barnes and Noble fans!  I am so excited, since I own a Nook myself.  It will be surreal to see my novel on my Ereader.

Now back to my main reason for the post...I am working on the second novel, which is a continuance of Murder On The Boulevard.  The setting is...you guessed it--San Francisco!  I can't wait to share more with you all as I come to it.  In the mean time, here are some images.  Enjoy!

Hi Friends!

Thanks so much for checking out my new blog!  I'm so excited to have this wonderful website designed by the fabulous Stephanie of Dirt and Lace to showcase my writing!  I have so many exciting things planned for the summer and writing my second novel, which is a sequel to Murder On The Boulevard is one of them!  I look forward to updating you throughout the process and maybe even introducing myself via a vlog or two?  Hope you like the site, and can follow me below.  Have a great day friends! Love to you all for all the support you have given me.
