Into the Night

I bet half of you immediately perked up and thought “Oh, wow… A SF excerpt!” *lol*

Not today.  I’m embarking on a new phase of my life, where I’ll be trying to incorporate all of the different facets of who I am into one image.

Sound complicated?  It’s actually really easy, for me.  There are a great many things people don’t know about me.  Things that would surprise even my closest friends and family to learn.  But, dear readers, these areas of my life are already an open book (pun intended) to you.  You just may not be aware of how much you know about me, after reading my books.

For example, those of you who had a chance to read my Underground series (before the publisher went under… for the rest, don’t worry… I’m working damned hard to get my books back out there) know I wanted to be a Marine… Health issues got in the way of that.  A lot of other details of my life come into focus through that series, but it’s far from the only one that takes a peek inside my life.

Readers of Project Prometheus (available from Aspen Mountain Press at www.aspenmountainpress.com ), for example, will learn I have a deep attachment to the spiritual, and that it tends to filter into all aspects of my life, including my writing.  You’ll meet demons and angels and Fae… Gods, goddesses, mythic heroes, and creatures from the collective mythology of the world.  Project Prometheus, beginning with IN HER NAME, explores the deep mysteries many have chosen to ignore, in our modern world of computers and gadgets.

Going forward, you may start to see some very distinct changes to my website, blogs, and more.  I think this is a very positive and exciting event, and I hope you all agree.

To learn more about me and my books, visit my website and do a little exploring of your own… You might be surprised at what you find along the way!

Hey, what can I say? I’m a busy chick (yeah, I said chick…*chuckles* No, I don’t know how to be PC… and chick and broad always sounded more tough…more ME… than “girl”…which reminds me of ribbons, pink, and pigtails, all of which I’d sooner die than wear). So, I’m not sure how regular I’ll be at keeping up this blog, but I’ll make a decent stab at it.

So, before I start delving into the wide world of what you CAN expect around here, let’s get the formalities over with, shall we? (Ie, the “all about me” segment, as I call it)

I won’t tell you how old I am (what would be the fun in that?), but I will tell you I’m under 30 (keep that in mind later, when I talk about my first relationship…;) ). I’m currently located in Tucson, AZ, so for those of you ever interested, when I mention that I’m doing a booksigning, you can bet it’s probably either in Tucson or Phoenix. Did I grow up here? Hell, no. I’ve only been here about 2 years. I’m a former military brat, and I spent my entire childhood (barring birth and 2 years) in Europe. This tends to show itself in my writing… I like foreign locales, and I’ve got a long list of places I’ve been to choose from.

Yes, I’m married, and no, I don’t write as a full-time job, though I wish I could afford to.

Hmm… What else? Oh, yeah, I swear like a sailor, and I’m not hesitant to share my opinions. What I WILL tell you about my birthday is that I’m an Aries (with all of those wonderful quirks). I’m also Pagan, and proud of it.

Okay, I think that covers the general “Who am I?” segment. Next time, it’s on to the fun stuff… what comes next!

Well, I’ve moved my blog from Blogger to Yahoo, so you can access it easier through my website.  I’ll be moving all of my posts from the old Blogger account over here (minus the comments, I’m afraid, since Yahoo doesn’t seem to want to import the new Google-driven Blogger pages).  So,bear with me as I get settled into my new home…
