     Anyway, the book. Took seven months to write and I took four weeks off when it gave me trouble. But, it's all good.

    When Gigi finds a strange artifact she and her friends fall into a realm filled with surreal deadly creatures. With the help of Ahren and other trapped Inglaidians they must find a way home before the terrors of the Shadow Realm take them for all eternity.

    Just a quick line or two tonight, as I have some important reading to do. So, let me just plug my book. Searching for a Speculative Fiction, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Romance? Click the link to read a sample, or watch the video.

     Pet info. Do your pets have a favorite toy? If so, I'm sure it's well worn if it hasn't been torn to shreds. Tossing the toy into the washing machine with a special enzymatic formula, will clean it of any growing bacteria.

February 10, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "What To Do Next?"

    Would it be a bother for me to ask all or one of you to just wake me when winter's over? I can't bring myself to go outside. It's too cold, too slippery, too damn depressing!

    Smiles everyone, smiles! I've just gotta fake it. Although, I'd jump at the chance for a trip to Fantasy Island. Happy endings all around. I could use one, right about now.

    I'm not happy when things are out of my control. I don't like relying on 2nd parties to get my work done, but sometimes I have no choice. 

    I'm still trying to get my hard copy onto Amazon, but I need to wait for them to help me. Not an easy task. There are files I need to manipulate. Oh well... Not gonna get anywhere griping.

    I'll just move along to something else. Maybe the edit of book 2? Sounds like a plan.

                                      King Triton anyone?

    OK, I'm on it. I would love to get the next book out. I just don't have a cover yet.

    Let's bring it to pet info for the evening. Dogs seem to hurt themselves from a number of outside forces. It's always a good idea to have some form of painkiller on hand for those occasions. Metacam is a liquid that's easily administered through a syringe into the mouth. It's a anti-inflammatory/painkiller without dangerous side effects. You can get it from your Vet, or online. 

    

February 8, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Reading Is Good"

    For the last 3 years, I have been a slave to my writing. I don't know why it started, but I haven't so much as taken a break from the cosmic creativity, I've been gifted. At this point my brain is screaming for a bit of peace, so I've decided to step back and read for a while.

    Strange, I know. I'm sure people can write and read at the same time, but I couldn't pull myself away from my fantasy worlds. It was all about time constraints. Ones I put on myself.

    Now, I'm not so rushed. So, I get to jump into other people's crazy. Lovely! It's been a long time since I read. The last book was Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. Not sure if it was book 10 or 11. I guess I'll have to go back and find out.

    Right now I wanted some nonsense, so I downloaded the Castle books. Derek Storm and Nikki Heat. Ugh... On a more interesting note, I decided to read a book written by another indie author. Book one in a series; The Scribing of Ishitar, Fall From Grace. 

    It's really what I need right now. Gotta love Angels and Demons! I'm glad I can enjoy someone else's work for a change. I gotta go get in some quality time with my Kindle. See ya!

    Pet info for the evening. Dog baths? Sure, it's something no one looks forward to, yet it's gotta get done. Some dogs don't need to be bathed often, others might need it every other week, like mine. I find, when they sit on your lap, the cleaner the better! The trick is to keep it quick and painless!

February 5, 2014 Insane Wine Infused Ramblings "Not Enough Hours in the Day"

    I refuse to talk about the snow. So, instead I think I'll just ramble. Ya know, something I'm good at. Nonsense. Spent all last night trying to set up my book on Amazon. My original company, Draft2Digital had problems with the giant, so it's do it yourself for me.

    Tonight, I need to tweak a few things and try my hand at Create Space, so I can get the hard copies made. UGH! More trouble, instead of writing. My 5th book isn't going to write itself! Although, at the rate I'm going, it should try.

    It only took me 2 years to the day basically, to write my first 4 books. I even made the video, or book trailer. This next book is getting no attention, as I'm so busy editing and marketing and learning. If I get a page in, here and there, it's a miracle!

    That's the link to the video. It doesn't help that I work 6 days a week, or that I work until 7 at night. Not a whole lot of free time. I swear, if I was able to stay home, I'd never leave my house. I'd write all day, every day.

                          I can be a bit myopic. It's the OCD. 

    Yep. Kinda looks familiar. Oh, well... I better get to work!

    I'm going for the pet info. Did you know even in the winter months you should give your pets Heartworm preventative. If you do happen to miss January, February, and March, you should have them tested at the Vet, before you give them the pills or chews. If you give them the preventative and they have Heartworm, you can kill them. That's not going to be good at all!
