sorry for lack of updates

You know the song ‘it’s been a while’ has started to play a lot in my eyes. But then again, I keep looking back at my blog and realize how silent I have been. That’s for many reasons.

One- Work- insane hours and sometimes even stranger people.

Second- Pet sitting, my second job… kind of. I look after my neighbor’s pets when they go to work or on vacation. Nonetheless, money is money right now.

Third- preparing.

I am getting myself ready for the World Horror Convention in Austin Texas this year. I am determined to go as a published author, even if it’s for a short story. I will go with work behind me. That way I will have something interesting to talk about to say the least. But for the moment, my vampires have been rather silent. I’ve focused on WWE fan fiction and a short story I am tinkering with involving a man who owned a dog fighting ring… yet doesn’t get caught by the police. Something more… supernatural to say the least.

I’ve also been trying to keep up with some other people’s blog. Scott Nicholas who I have had the pleasure of working with as well as a sensei to help me with my vampires, is doing a contest for a Kindle reader! I would really like one of these right now, and if there is anyone else out there interested in his contest, here is his site.

Best of luck to everyone who enters.

Now, what else to talk about?

Hmmm….

Well, I did do something rather risky recently. And for anyone who is like me, an author waiting to be discovered and published. I wrote the publisher that I had sent Mythic Blood off to. I have read many times over and have been told by professionals this is a big NO NO. Yet an author by the name of Nancy Kilpatrick informed me that if they had given me an date they would contact me, it was ok to ask and inquire. So, I did!

From what is to be known at this time, my story is in limbo. And it sounds like it could be up against stiff competition from others who are just as hungry as I am for a chance to get their work out there. But I am not losing hope! Never lose hope in anything no matter how impossible.

Speaking of Hope, I suppose everyone has seen what has happened in Pakistan right? Well I read up on various websites, what these people need desperately is water purification tablets. Simple little drop to purify the water so it is safe to drink, I don’t know about you, but I would like to do what I can to help them out. World Vision is explaining that they are already over there and know what is needed, perhaps if anyone else is reading this, we can open our hearts and wallets to these people who are left with nothing. Seriously though, Pakistan has water everywhere, but none of it is safe to drink.

Well, this is all I have for today. If any of you are interested in reading my WWE fan fiction, feel free.

that’s my pen name, and please read the ratings posted, as well, forget spelling and grammar areas. I know some are obvious, please don’t remind me. But there is just about something for everyone, from cross overs to some over the top funny stories about the biggest men in the WWE, and the crazy stories I put them in. (for fans out there, ever wonder what would happen if the Undertaker had a cold and slept walked?) chaos ensues!

I thank you, everyone who has taken the time to read my blog, I am going to post a bit more of my novel up, just to see if it peeks anyone’s interest.

Until next time.
