I've been sick

Hi All

Haven't posted in a while. I've been ill and in the hospital. Hopefully, I'll be posting a little more often!

What's up in the world of writing and reading?

Anyone read the new JD Robb story? She's an auto-buy for me.

On a personal note-my daughter sold a story she wrote. I sold two novellas and two short stories. Good news when I came home from the hospital!

More later!

Thursday 13 - 13 Things I HATE!


Thirteen Things I hate by Erin


1… Liver--just smelling it makes me nauseated!
2. Stuck-up people (Don't we all?)
3. Green (I think it comes from a green house where everything inside was green!)
4. NBC for canceling Surface
5. SCI-Fi Channel for canceling Stargate SG-1
6. Books that don't have a happy ending!
7. Movies that don't have the 'right' ending.
8. Winter (I detest cold, and it's only allowed to snow on Christmas Eve)
9. Telemarketers (They should all have laryngitis!)
10. TV Shows that end without an 'ending'
11. Prejudice
12. Waiting months and months on a manuscript submission to be answered.
13. Trying to think of 13 things I hate!

Hopefully, some of you can attend.

My daughter sold her first manuscript!

HI

I know this is my blog--but...my daughter just sold her first manuscript. It's going to be in a Christmas Anthology.


More details when we know more. She just got notified today that they want it. The title, unless it's changed is Mistletoe Magic. She' writes as Lanie Fuller.


She got the writing gene from me!

In other news.....

My Amazon Short is in the 100 sales ranking...look for Table of Two or click the link to check it out:

In still other news...

We've been having storms all day :( I wanted to take my new author daughter out to dinner, but the storm was nasty!

Life

Ah, the joys of real life! I thought I'd post something about me. I realized that I hadn't yet.

I'm a single mom and my daughter and I often write together.

We live on the Potomac in VA, with a beautiful view of the water!

Believe it or not, I used to be a cop :) (I was hell on drunk drivers!) and an EMT. Most recently, I was an English teacher.

Now, I write full-time because that's where my heart is. (Who needs to pay bills, right? lol)

Post and tell me about you :)

Erin
