Where I've Been

Just an update on where I've been and what I've been doing. I'm sorry I haven't been around lately and posting interviews and giveaways. When I first started this blog I had a dream of being published one day - there were even times when I felt like giving up. So I decided in the meantime while waiting for this illusive dream to become real I would support other Christian authors by interviewing them and having givaways. And that is what I did for several years - even garnering over 300 followers. I appreciate each and everyone of you!

But lately I've been amiss and haven't posted very much. The reason for that is my dream of being a published writer came true. Since October of 2011 I've had two - can you believe two- books published. The first in the Trixie Montgomery Cozy Mystery Series is "Death in Dahlonega" and my second one that was released in October 2012 is "Murder in Marietta." What I've learned is that marketing is such a big part of writing. I've been going to book clubs, writer's groups, book signings, etc and trying to write in-between. This takes a lot of time and takes away from my blogging. I just wanted to let you know. I hope to have more giveaways soon. Also you can visit me at www.cozymysterymagazine.com and www.sleuthsandsuspects.com  Thank you again for your support. Below is a picture of me at a booksigning at the Marietta History Museum in Marietta, GA.
