Preoccupied

So I guess I have a hard time keeping up with the blog thing. Not because I have nothing to say, but because I have been doing other things.

I haven't done any crafts lately but in my infinite artistic ADD over the past few months I have written one book and have started the second one. I still have lots of rewrites to do but I am pretty happy with the results. When I feel like the story is perfect, I am planning on looking for an agent. That part scares the heck out of me. The key to getting an agent to read your book is to write a killer query letter. Hopefully I can do that.

The story is a sort of urban fantasy with a healthy dose of romance. It's based in the present but there is a lot of the past involved, specifically related to Greek myth. No vampires, were wolves, witches or ghosts in this one. Though I love reading about all of that.

When I get to a stopping point, I have tons of crafty things to finish, so I will keep you posted.

HP Mallory Contest!!!

I have been busy reading in my spare time lately so sorry there haven't been any updates. I've also been writing a story. I don't feel right calling it a book yet unless it's published. I'm 29,000 plus words in and the story keeps coming. I'll update more about that as I get further along.

I wanted to mentioned a really cool contest from a really cool author whose books I have on my Kindle. BTW I LOVE my Kindle!! I also have the Kindle app for Android which is even cooler.

SO HP Mallory, the cool author, is having a contest and the prize is being written as a character in her next "Jolie" book! I'm so excited about this contest. I absolutely loved the "Jolie" books which I bought for my Kindle based on the title alone. Turns out that was a great choice. The books are so engaging and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I am currently reading the "Dulcie" books which is the other series she has out.

Right now, her books are only ebooks, but the next Jolie book will be available in bookstores. Very Cool and something to aspire to, if my story ever gets that far.

So, here is the link to her Blog and the contest. http://urbanfantasyauthor.blogspot.com/

Enjoy!

Update! No really....

It's been forever and I apparently suck at this whole blog thing.

I do have some cool news. I recently sent something all the way across the pond to the UK to be displayed in a Stitch and Craft show. Mr Xstitch had a call for items to display in his booth and I answered. I sent my Beatles "Fab Four" and "John Loves Yoko" felt brooches. Here's the pic http://catawissacrafty.blogspot.com/2009/04/something-crafty.html I made a new set and framed them. They look really nice and I hope someone there will want to buy them because it is so expensive to ship to the UK and I'll have to pay to ship them back to myself if they don't sell.

Wish me luck!

Full Blown Awsomeness

I am a geek, or a Dork or whatever. I Love Star Trek and Star Wars and a lot in between. Here's what I received a few months ago from THIS shop.

I follow Mr. Nimoy on Twitter and he announced one day that the first 10 people to buy a shirt from his Etsy shop would get a personally autographed pic. I shopped as fast as I could, but never thought I'd be one of the 10!

I couldn't breathe when I opened the package and there was my name in his handwriting! Remember, I'm a dork.

This now proudly hangs on my living room wall.
