It's been a while

It's been a while sine my last post and many things have happened. My least favorite on that list is that my day job has taken up way too much of my time. It's seems like I can't catch a break in that department. While I am incredibly blessed to have a job in this economy, I wish I had more time to focus on writing and reading and selling my book. Oh well c'est la vie. In other news I was able to travel some recently. I made a week long work trip to Doha, Qatar into a mini break vacation. I will post some photos next time I am on my computer (rather than my iPad). It was an amazing trip. Made me remember that people in the Middle East are still people, and most are not terrorists. Doha is an interesting place because it has grown into a big city in about a decade. The Museum of Islamic Art and the Souq Waquif were my favorite parts of the trip. I think my husband particularly liked the desert safari. As far as writing goes, that seems to be on the back burner. I have a new idea and have written the first chapter. I really like where it is headed, but I am trying to jot down notes since I can't find the time to write much. My fingers are crossed that things may change soon. :)

New interview

In my ongoing attempt to get the word out about my book I have a new author interview out. You can check it out at:

Book review

My first review came out about a week ago ( man how time flies). It was a bit stressful leading up to it - I kept thinking I hope she likes it, I hope it's a good review. It wasn't the first time some else had read my book but it was the first outside person to really review it. Luckily she liked it - yeah! Check out the review at:
