November 2013 Update

 Shalia’s Diary:  Storyline 3 is in full swing and the theories are already flying as to what’s going to happen.   I can see it’s going to be a long month of getting yelled at by you guys. Believe it or not, I do not intentionally draw things out to torment you.  It's just how the story unfolds.  Hang in there.

I am working to get Shalia’s Diary Book 2 out this month in book form.  I'll put out more info as I get closer to having it ready to publish.  Do you love the cover?  I know I do.

Clans of Kalquor 2:  Alien Rule – The publisher has pulled the book from all distributors in order to offer it exclusively from their site.  That is the only place you can get this book right now.  My apologies to those of you who have been inconvenienced by this, but the matter is out of my hands.  Electronic rights return to me in mid-December.  I am working to edit and ready Alien Rule for re-release.  Unlike Alien Embrace, there are no substantial changes involved.  I’ve made edits for grammar and clarity only.  If you already own the original Alien Rule, I recommend that you do not buy this version.  I feel the alterations do not warrant you spending your money on it.  It will have a beautiful new cover though!  Once again, I will not have the print rights immediately, so a new print version will not be coming out at the same time the electronic version does.

As promised, I have put several more books in print that weren’t available in that medium before.  Here are all the links:

Alien Embrace (re-edited and expanded version)

Available from Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.  Also in print.

To Clan and Conquer

Available from Amazon Kindle, Amazon UK, Nook, and Smashwords.  Also in print.

Ravenous Virtue

Available from Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.  Also in print.

The Couch to 5K Running Program:

I did it!  I finally ran 5K!!!  In fact, I've run it twice now.  Perseverance (and sheer stubborn will) paid off.  I will continue to run when the body is healthy and back off when it’s not.  I have now shed 46 pounds, and I'm hoping to unload 9 more.  Woot!  Thanks to all you who have offered tips and encouragement. 

Have an awesome month, all.
