Funday Monday- Where I am, Where I Stand, and Where I Thrive

1- Scream! for the Cure has launched. Yesterday was the kickoff. I've got a lovely little button over

on the side that you can click to visit. If you're lazy, like I'm prone to be, then click the image below. The first auction basket will be Paranormal Romance, which unlike many believe is not dead and is instead still a great source of creative story lines.


2- Today, I'm over at Cate Masters blog for part of her Halloween celebration. To say this woman loves Halloween is an understatement. Feel free to swing by, I'm giving away a copy of my upcoming

With This Kilt, I Thee Bed to a lucky commenter.


3- Dear Author Support Fund. So, I'm late to the #notchilled party. Thankfully I'm not affected, yet. The problem with the lawsuit being levied against Jane Litte, Dear Author Founder, is that it threatens all of us. Our voice, our ability to express our opinions, and our right to speak out against a suit that is meant to bully and silence. The only other things I will say on this matter are the following:

- I despise bullies. Bullying is something I won't tolerate. Ever. I've been a recipient of Dear Author's opinions and in no way am I her biggest fan, but I refuse to see someone else bullied for stating facts, and speculating on those facts.
- Everyone has the choice to make their own opinion, but when you turn to verbally bashing or attacking anyone who doesn't agree with you then you've allowed yourself to sink to the same level as the person(s) you're objecting against. There are ways to take action without diving into verbal sparring wars.


4- In much happier news it's October and the season for stews, chilis, and yummy recipes. I love fall for a multitude of reasons and I encourage other readers, writers, and foodies to check out my Pinterest board with it's bevy of recipes and I'm always searching for more. I've even thrown in a few Halloween Treat Ideas.

Break from Social Media--- 2 Weeks for Sure!

That's right I'm leaving behind the world of tweeting, pinning, and status updates for a whole 2 weeks.

I need to separate myself from the internet and focus on my writing. No more late nights spent pouring over pictures of cute animals, taking quizzes instead of putting down words, or relegating in the latest wild mess to up heave the writing/author world.

In the meantime I'm putting my editing cap on and in overdrive. It's time to wrap up a project and begin another one.

If I owe you a guest post or anything blog related rest assured I'll still have posts scheduled to occur.

If you need to reach me email is your best shot and I'll respond as quickly as I can.

Until then: see you after hiatus.
