SORMAG 2009 Online Conference

Before I head to bed, it suddenly occurred to me, I forgot to blog about a fantastic online event authors and writers certainly don’t want to miss – The SORMAG 2009 Online Conference.

I will be presenting an Online Marketing Workshop on Friday, August 28th. I’ve spent most of the weekend updating a former workshop. So much had changed in a year!

To visit the full schedule of great workshops, telechats and panels go to: http://sormag.blogspot.com/2009/06/register-for-online-conference.html

As the SORMAG Online Conference Event Coordinator, LaShaunda Hoffman often says – See ya on the Net!

Sins of the Father Blog Tour starts August 24th

The blog tour for Angela Benson, author of Sins of the Father, begins this week. It’s a 10 day tour with quite a line-up. Angela Benson was one of a few Christian Fiction authors I was introduced to back in 2000-2001. Her novels Abiding Hope and Awakening Mercy are still favorites. I’ve read most of her Christian Fiction novels with last year’s Up Pop the Devil being her latest book I reviewed. Sins of the Father is already receiving great reviews and I look forward to reading it after I slow down a bit.

BOOK REVIEW | Wounded: A Love Story

Wounded: A Love Story
by Claudia Mair Burney

Gina Merritt struggles with being a single mother and her mental illness. She seeks relief by attending the Ash Wednesday service at her beloved church home. To her shock, the comfort she seeks comes in the form of a vivid vision, followed by blood flowing from her palms.

Dusting off the manuscript

I’ve had a weird year. I looked at the calendar last week and decided it was time to come out of my period of non-writing. I’ve been knocked back a good bit, keeping me from my goals, but it’s time to dust off the manuscripts.

To kind of help jumpstart me, I decided to finally join Sisters in Crime. Here’s the mission:

"The mission of Sisters in Crime is to promote the professional development and advancement of women crime writers to achieve equality in the industry."

I downloaded the newsletter tonight and will be reading over it the next few days. I’m excited about the organization and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow as a mystery and suspense writer.

I also have become familiar with the characters in my When Rain Falls manuscript. This is the first book in a three-book series, so I’m hoping in a few weeks to work on the outline for the other two books. Ideas are brewing.
