Yeah. Can I explain my anger toward football??
GOOD.
I hate you right now, wanna know why? Because. Just this year do I finally decide that I could love you, and yet you let me down like this? You suddenly have so many of those men, those refs, constantly checking you out, “official review.” HA, right. Official review MY ARSE! Get over yourselves and get back in the game, really.
And you, you Washington State Football teams, who do you think YOU are?? Huh? You suck. I wouldn’t say that if I knew you tried, but you won’t. Wait, no… you REFUSE to try. TRY HARDER.
Except you, Toby Turpin, it’s like you’re the only one on the field… Good for you.
I want to see some trick plays. I want to see some returns for ninty yards. I mean, heck! I’d like to see a touchdown! Is it really so hard?
It is because of this lack of love that I must leave you. I know our affair was short and sweet, but you have let me down for the last time. Besides, you suck in bed, on the field.
I hope the future grants you more success, and the best of luck to you…

So, this month I’m starting that new series, the Knight Angels Series! YAY! I am really cruising through this!
Words So Far: 7100 ish
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy. Angels. Shape Shifters. Dreamers
Setting: Post Apocalypse in a new world without dreaming or magic… until…
Level of Love For New Book: HUGE! This book is so fun to write so far, so fast paced! For all the Feather Fans out there, just wait till you get your paws on this! It will blow that outta the water!
Working Cover Art:
I’m trying to go with a “Card” Theme. The queen of hearts, the King, etc etc. The cover will inevitably change (as I recieve your input!) So that is why it’s a “working cover”
Happy Monday!
Buy From Amazon Here: Parallel: The Life of Patient
I’m so excited! I’ve gotten some great reviews on Amazon recently pertaining to Parallel. I know my most “known” books are the Feather Book Series, but if you haven’t caught my newest read, you really should 
Parallel was written while I was in the throws of the Feather Book Series. I wrote the book after daydreaming my way through a really brutal and long baseball game in Spokane, Wa. On that day, I began to wonder what would happen if I had someone following me, someone I didn’t know, but that changed my life, almost like a Guardian Angel, but not quite, more like a Time Traveler. Now I’ve loved The Time Traveler’s Wife for as long as that books been on the shelf, but I’ve also always loved the movie The Butterfly Effect as well. Parallel takes a darker road, much like Butterfly Effect, following two people who’s lives are perilously connected by fate. Jordan, the main character is a time traveler who decides to take it upon himself to change the life of Kenzie Ashcroft, a beautiful yet tragically cursed girl with a beautiful heart. The ending is a twister, and I love it, quite possibly one of my favorite endings to write, though the Raven ending is amazing, too!
Check it out!

Hey! So I decided, that with my dad being an architect and all, that I needed to draw out what this house of my dreams really looks like. This was hard! Some of the stuff I envisioned didn’t actually pan out the way I wanted it to when it came to drawing things, to many magical hidden rooms, he he. This is what I always saw, though, while writing, and now you can see it too! I wish my real house was like this, I also wish the house was secretly invisible in a field in the North Cascades, but we can’t all win, can we?
Since tomorrow is Halloween, and I love a good holiday, I’ve decided to share some of my favorite costumes! I’ve been watching the Today show, as I do every morning, and felt inspired. Wasn’t a huge fan of the Star Wars theme they decided to go with, seems a little over-done, but at least they did it right with real props from the movie.
I just can’t resist a small dog in costume.
One thing I can never seem to resist are dogs in costumes. I don’t have a dog, and in fact I am a cat person, but we all know that no cat in their right mind would put up with having a costume on. Heck no.
Poor things, they don’t even know what’s happening! But it’s so funny, all at our expense.
So here we go! Costumes Away!
Last night I saw this guy on TV. I can’t remember what channel it was, could have been the Smithsonian. But this! This is what I was talking about when I say Holidays. Bestselling Author of Extreme Pumpkins, Tom Nardone, as far as I can see, is a pumpkin pumpkin genious! Perhaps you’ve seen some of his pumpkins before, I know I have, namely the puking pumpkin. He uses power tools like the jig saw and dremel to carve his pumpkins, even going so far as to make his OWN tools. You can visit his website HERE. There are a lot of fun videos to watch as well
Now, if my less than stellar pumpkins hadn’t ROTTED four days after bringing them home from the grocery store pumpkin nursery, I too would be carving my pumpkins this way!
My husband and I recently remodeled our whole house, so we have a whole collection of power tools. I hate to buy MORE pumpkins, but I guess I’ll have to…
Book News…
I’m adding a good portion of the new Feather Book Series: Book One, to the blog today, so watch for that and get a taste of what this new release is all about, especially you skeptics out there who doubted I could do this 
It just proves that, sometimes, education can come from the most unconventional means. Be sure to check it out!
More Pumpkins!
For all you mothers, and mothers to be! The P-Section pumpkin! Too much? Perhaps?
This was how I felt while I was sick!
Just a Classic. One of my favorites.
at least some people know how to do it up right...
I’m watching the Today show right now, and it makes me laugh to think that, yet Halloween is this Saturday, and thanksgiving still seems like a glimmer on the horizon, IHOP is already playing holiday commercials? Tasty Egg Nog Pancakes and red and green sprinkles? Hold It! I want to enjoy my leftover turkey enchiladas first! I’ll admit, I tend to get into the spirit a bit sooner than most, but its October 27th, and I’m just not sure I feel comfortable thinking about Christmas just yet. I decorated with fall decor in the middle of September, but I waited until the first frost, and where I live in a farm town, harvest was over and the fall spirit was a natural transition with bundles of dried corn and wheat.
I was talking to my mother the other morning as she was putting up christmas lights… Isn’t it an unspoken rule to wait until AFTER thanksgiving to ‘lightify’ your abode? I understand that some people get snow rather early in the season, and they want to get the lights on the gutters before Jack Frost comes and makes them slip off the roof to their death.
At least Papa Murphey’s Pizza gets it. They’re making a Jack-O-Latern pizza! I love it! I’m a stickler for their heart-shaped pizzas on Valentine’s day, what can I say!
Some people get way too excited.
Some people just get way too excited about the holidays. Can’t they just wear a pair of secret Santa socks and wait?
I think what really gets people excited is all the food. Why else is weight loss the number one wished for thing on New Years. Loose Clothes! Winter! YAY! Well, not me. I got the flu and lost four pounds…
October for me marked the inevitable race to make as many pumpkin pies and humanly possible. It’s my favorite, but try as I may, it’s just not the same in August.
You know what it really come down to, though? The economy. Retailers know that shoppers will be buying less this year, so they are going to try twice as hard to get people out there… Politics and Christmas… Ahhhhhh, I love the holidays.
I’ve gotten a lot of buzz concerning the new re-release of the Feather Book Series. For those of you that are new, I’ve been working on this series for a year now. I made my process public as I released various versions of the book from extremely unedited, to unedited and now, hopefully, nearly perfect! I’m counting down the days until the FINAL release of The Feather Book Series, starting with Book One, Feather. My editor is narrowing down to the end of the book as far as edits go, and then the rest (loading new files and cover art) does not take much!
Thankfully I have a very flexible publisher
Two weeks, that’s what I’m saying folks
I will announce here, well and of course I like to talk anyway. A lot of you have been here since the beginning, which rocks! A lot of you have even helped me with concepts and cover art, which also rocks!
If you haven’t read the series yet, hold ya’all’s horses and wait till the re-edited book one comes out, followed by book two, Guardian in about a month and Raven, also in about a month. This time we are going to get the book out in many stores as well, we’re going global with this release!
Other Cool Stuff
Another one of my friends thinks she’s preggo. YAY! I get to be aunty again! Well, it’s not for sure, but still, exciting non-the-less. Every month it seems someone else is pregnant. I’m afraid of babies… is that bad? I want babies one day, but I’ve never even held a baby LOL. They always look so plastic and fragile ha ha. I figure the first baby I’ll hold will likely be my own.
It’s pouring here today! Major flood. It’s nice. though, washes all the nasty leaves downhill to the neighbor’s house 
Cat stole my heating blanket and squeezed me out, he’s a big cat, it can happen.
Husband got me noodle soup from the local chinese bakery, so good.
Christmas songs are starting to play on the XM Jazz channel…
