    Today, I'm on three blogs again. I'm also working a little on the sequel to 'SAINT SLOAN' (out late winter 2013 from Astraea Press). I want to have it finished before Nanowrimo (November). A plot twist just came around that I wasn't expecting. I love it when that happens. Tour stops today are: The Songs on the Way I’m going to admit something to you guys. Something I probably shouldn’t, but it’s part of who I am, so I might as well. Ready? My name is Kelly, and I love reading Young Adult novels. There… I said it. Sure, I’m in my thirties and *should* be reading more ‘adult’ novels (and I do), but there is something about Young Adult novels that draw me in. I loved reading the Hunger Games and Twilight, even though the more I think about it, the more I have issues with Bella lol. What about you? Do you love Young Adult Fiction? What do I love more than reading Young Adult fiction? CLICK TO READ MORE.

    Shanda was very nice to let me post on her blog today to tell you about something that is so near and dear to my heart. Life takes us places, sometimes, we never expect.

    In this crazy, fast-paced world, how do you find the time to do something you (not as a mother, as a woman) want to do? In my opinion, there has to be a balance between your duties as a wife and/or mother, and your duties to yourself as a woman. It’s not easy. As a writer trying to get my books out with a full-time/out of the house job, three kids, a house, and a husband who would like it cleaned occasionally, I have very lovely purple and black bags under my eyes. Plus, at 31-I have some of the most spectacular threads of gray… er silver… in my hair. But, to me, it’s worth it. But don’t let me kid you… it is a sacrifice (and everyone in your family will feel it)—I don’t have much free time to do anything other than mama/teacher stuff and writer stuff, but that’s okay.

    David manned the wheel, and Asher hoped he was wide awake and full of caffeine. In addition to the youth pastor, he saw a light coming from some sort of electronic device; a computer tablet or e-­‐‑reader, a row back on the other side of the van. Curious, he rose up a bit to see over his seat. Whatever it was gave off enough light to see that it was a girl. He thought her name was Rachel.-- From Chapter 1, CROSSING THE DEEP
