11Nieve spent her entire life in the dry, lifeless lands of the desert, a girl out of place in her own country. Her aunt’s recent marriage allows them to move to the one remaining patch of green in the known world—a lush, vibrant oasis that sits upon a plateau, guarded by manpower and magic. This land is everything she hoped for, a place she finally feels at home.&lt;/div&gt;
12&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

14&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
15Tammin Halenwood was born into power and privilege, a son of one of the greenland’s noblest families. His attraction to Nieve is as strange as it is immediate. But it is their visit to the mysterious stones atop Winden Hill that seals their fates.&lt;/div&gt;

21The act of stepping into the magical circle together sets off a chain of events that endangers the greenlands and exposes the land to the curse of the hungry, living sands. As the desert encroaches into this last vestige of life, destroying everything in its path, it is up to Nieve and Tammin alone to break the curse and save their world from being consumed by the sand.&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; name=&quot;_GoBack&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

56After the death of her husband, Evvie of Ravensroost returns home embittered by her unfortunate marriage and determined to cut herself off from society. But when a rugged Bask warrior darkens her doorway, Evvie’s world is turned upside down. Impulsively, she leaves everything behind for an icy, foreign nation where she has no friends or connections—other than her Bask warrior—and where everyone thinks she’s a witch, a legacy she’s reluctant to accept. She discovers this new identity comes with a mysterious, deadly and vengeful enemy. Armed only with knowledge gleaned from books and with the overzealous assistance of her new eccentric aunts and a particularly helpful librarian, Evvie must confront her witchly nature before her legacy destroys her.&lt;/div&gt;

247s taken me this long to recover from Wizard World Portland Comic Con. It's a pretty epic con and I sold SO MANY BOOKS, and met SO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE! I love the conventions so much, I can't stop doing them. I'm really looking forward to the Rose City Comic Con coming up in September.  I hope you'll drop by and visit!<br />
248<br />
249Problem of Ghosts is off to a lovely start. I'm really having a great deal of fun with the Red Slipper series (Regency, With a Twist!)--and I think I'l be doing more of these books. Regency with wizards; Regency with Ghosts, and coming up soon (I hope) Regency with Werewolves and Regency with Giants! There are so many fun places to go with this one.<br />

254I also have some other genres on the cooker, and am slowly pecking my way through them. I've tried to refine my production process and stick to one project at a time. Being a Fly-By-The-Seat-Of-My-Pants kind of writer, with a healthy dose of attention deficit disorder, I tend to go Squirrel too often. But my mentor Shéa MacLeod is teaching me that focus is what works, and Problem of Ghosts is evidence of that. So apart from stopping to write down the new ideas that come along while on a project, I have been working exclusively on the book tentatively called Magpie.<br />
255<br />
256Will I go back to epic fantasy, and possibly Tinna's world? I don't know yet. Tinna's trilogy has sort of burned itself through me and left me breathless. So now I am focusing on lighter fiction.  The time may come when I go back to check in on Tinna, her two husbands, Avria and the baby Istvan. <br />
257<br />
258In the meantime; I sold MANY of the trilogy at Comic Con this year.  I even snagged a Lady Sif who was so reminiscent of Tinna in book 2, I had to have a photo op.<br />

262My table assistant cosplayed at Tinna from book one, but would you believe I didn't get a decent image of her? I'll bug her and see if she got one.  She spent the convention like a little embassador, roaming wildly and spreading the word of Tinna and her world.<br />

289&lt;br /&gt;
290It&#39;s been a few months of ups and downs. I lost my mom last month. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s an interesting dynamic, considering how many relationship issues I had with her--any of you who read the Tinna trilogy know this. I dealt with my issues in my fiction. I imagine I will somehow cope with my grief in the same way. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s weird to lose a parent you don&#39;t get along with. I find myself grieving the parent she *could* have been. How strange we are, we human creatures. :) &amp;nbsp;I guess the idea that Fantasy is an escape from reality is kind of BS. I think there are lots of elements of the authors&#39; lives intermingled with the fantastical creatures and five-mooned skies.&lt;br /&gt;
291&lt;br /&gt;
292So what else is new? Well, lots. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve already posted my participation in a few events, but here&#39;s a refresher:&lt;br /&gt;

299You can find details &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eventbrite.com/e/passion-in-portland-author-event-romance-authors-from-across-the-country-tickets-13320288341?aff=MirandaMayer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. General admission is FREE, but registration is required. So please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eventbrite.com/e/passion-in-portland-author-event-romance-authors-from-across-the-country-tickets-13320288341?aff=MirandaMayer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;click through&lt;/a&gt; and look at the ticket options. There are some &#39;buy-up&#39; opportunities where you get a chance to get in early, get to stalk your favourite authors (like me!) and more.&lt;br /&gt;

316This will be my fourth year attending, third year participating the <a href="http://www.wizardworld.com/portland.html" target="_blank">Wizard World Comic Con Portland</a>. Shéa and I will be present and accounted for with fine corner tables in the Artist's Alley.  This year, I've drafted my Amazing Über Fan Jathia as my table helper. So be prepared for uninhibited enthusiasm and cuteness.<br />
317<br />
318So... if you're in the Portland area during these times, come in and see me. I'm a schmoozer, I'll sign books and make bad jokes. It's what I do! See you soon, I hope. :D<br />

340So that&#39;s one project that&#39;s finally done. ::Oy:: It hasn&#39;t been easy to get my stuff together, I won&#39;t lie, but I&#39;ve gotten a bit of a boot in the pants from this year&#39;s Wizard World Convention. I had such a great time, and met a couple of fans, and there&#39;

340s nothing better than that for validation, is there?<br />
341<br />
342So I have other projects underway. Something post-apocalyptic, some of the ones I mentioned prior, and another alternate timeline, which will take time, because it requires some research.  But I am working on stuff, this I promise you. :)<br />
343<br />
344So download book three and enjoy the conclusion to this trilogy. Will there be another set of books in Oromoii? Who is to know? ::smile::</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/feeds/2164467514388310558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2015/02/whats-new-and-wonderful.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/2164467514388310558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/2164467514388310558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2015/02/whats-new-and-wonderful.html' title='What&#39;s new and wonderful?'/><author><name>Miranda Mayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16576310184990799688</uri><email>[email protected]</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcL_oZQGutQf8aR2sfs343jsRiOdwAaHSM1sRP5FNm0JogjDuzr0kH5SALB8II1p1kFaURtwRulaf67GVMA7KHmimFS9GgX2vmCpOmVNtJlf3D0mrQxBLub0L2djL21w/s220/jacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh39dcs_s6yaCACdwvU2RTQjWKgSxnAT-GWO9Q8E2QnARk02QecGBEYynRXkVs4Qs4sYRwbGPuqQKV5tOH6kyUhdRO0G2I8UNUm0lWqs-OiFlyXTw4qiOi8p1XHVWA7F233ftlAbGzyohw/s72-c/cropped+cover.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959671521538247086.post-5240595409424304049</id><published>2014-07-17T21:46:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2014-07-17T21:46:14.553-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Comic-Con"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Giveaway"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Signing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Update"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="WizardWorld"/><title type='text'>Some convention/signing news!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span id=&quot;goog_1697225656&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

349s not to like about that? We're both Oregonians, and we hang out with the same costuming people, so why not team up and present our work at the 2015 Portland 'Con? It's all very exciting.  We will have candy and swag. So come and see us!</span></span><br />

364Ynith starts off a sheltered, naïve little thing with no talent for magic (that she is aware of) but a rather strong taste for learning about all the forbidden forms of it. Her life is limited to one place, and has been for some years. But everything changes when she bumps into an awkward, gangly character in the library, where she develops an initial dislike towards him–and in part is inexcusably rude to him.&lt;br /&gt;
365She discovers to her horror that she was rude to the Crown Prince. But the strange character takes her rudeness in stride, and instead immediately becomes strongly attracted to her. Ynith comes to discover to her dismay, that the man that has selected her as the single object of his affection is without reservation, evil. What she does with that knowledge, remains to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
366The story follows Ynith; her evil beloved is not the main focus. Instead, it is Ynith’s journey as she equips herself with what she needs to cope with the consequences of being loved by an evil Wizard King. It is a story of a young woman taking her fate into her own hands, a story of sacrifice and of so much more.&lt;br /&gt;
367&lt;br /&gt;
368&lt;strong&gt;What genre is this?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/null&quot; style=&quot;color: #e8a345;&quot;&gt;The Wizard King&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a blending of both my love for Magic and Fantasy and my passion for the Regency period in history. Although it’s a different world, the theme is still painted in the colours and styles of Regency, with the addition of wizards, life-draining creatures called Ogrein, and magic aplenty.&lt;br /&gt;
369&lt;br /&gt;
370&lt;strong&gt;Fantasy-coloured Regency? That’s a new angle to us. We like the sound of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Readers that enjoy Jane Austen might enjoy this as a change of pace from the romances of the English Regency, but still have familiar themes and language to carry them along.&lt;br /&gt;
371This book will also appeal to anyone who enjoys a story where the lady is a strong character.&lt;br /&gt;
372Fantasy and magic readers would surely fall in step with the book as well. It is surely more of a lady’s read than it is for a man, but that doesn’t mean a man could not derive enjoyment from the story.&lt;br /&gt;
373&lt;br /&gt;
374&lt;strong&gt;You’ve described Ynith as a strong character.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ynith is an orphaned girl of nineteen, living in a learning academy. She has lived there since she was very young, sent there for her own protection after her parents were killed. She has wealth, and even a title, but has no advantages because her family is a danger to her. They want what she has; her title and what remains of her legacy.&lt;br /&gt;
375&lt;br /&gt;

376She is sheltered and innocent in some ways. Utterly guileless with a kind heart. She loves simple things, and takes great enjoyment in the special attentions from an elderly Docent and his sister. She isn’t ready for the things that are about to befall her, but that is her challenge. To overcome her innocence, and to take matters into her own hands.<br />
377<strong>Have you written any other books that we should read next?</strong><br />
378<b><br /></b>Book one and book two of the Trilogy of Tinna are available now, and I am currently working on book 3.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #e8a345;">Tinna’s Promise</a>, book 1; <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #e8a345;">Tinna’s Might</a>, book 2.<br />
379<br />
380I also have an anthology and another book called <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="color: #e8a345;">Blackroot</a> available for purchase in either eBook or hard-copy.<br />
381<br />
382<strong>Tell us a bit about yourself.</strong><br />I am a new mother–and had my first child at a rather ripe age. I live in the forests at the foot of Mount Hood in Oregon. I ride horses, and have all my life. I enjoy riding sidesaddle. I also enjoy costuming, illustrating, reading, sewing, and creating things in general. I’m married to a wonderful, tolerant man who puts up with my many quirks. I also delve quite deeply into various forms of geekery, and can sometimes be found to be sailing about dressed as a RavenClaw professor, wearing a Jayne hat, or dressing my poor baby up as an Ewok.<br />

I&#39;ve been a bit preoccupied by the Portland Wizard World Comic Con, and then life itself, which also tends to take over. Especially for new(ish) moms. &amp;nbsp;The Wizard King has had its release and it is being received very well. I hope it continues! I have a few projects on the fire including book 3 of the Trilogy of Tinna; Tinna&#39;s Reign, which is being padded out and revised before I send it to be edited. &lt;br /&gt;

466But what Ynith could never prepare herself for would be the cost of being loved by a man who is by all rights, evil.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

470A powerful budding Wizard, Ynith’s beau is about to wreak havoc upon the world, and force Ynith to discover facets of herself that she finds terrifying, including dabbling in the magic she has deliberately avoided since childhood.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
471&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

473&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
474&amp;nbsp;Must Ynith love this man or must she escape him to save herself, and ultimately, her world?&lt;/div&gt;

Today, I sat down with my editing team, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/2girlsfriday&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Two Girls Friday&lt;/a&gt;, and we went over the edits they proposed for the manuscript. The double set of eyes really helped to find a variety of problems, and what one might have missed, the other girl Friday caught. &amp;nbsp;They sat with me on Skype, and discussed the issues they had with continuity, repetitiveness, run-on blathering and so much more. They were absolutely amazing, and I am really fortunate to get both girls Friday to work together on my manuscript. I am now in the process of merging the two separate editings, and we&#39;ll be on our way!&lt;br /&gt;
482&lt;br /&gt;
483The cover is also in process, the front is almost finalized, the back is in the works, and the whole thing will be ready for release on February 1, 2014 (with copies available for early release for the Wizard World Comic Con).&lt;br /&gt;
484&lt;br /&gt;
485So that&#39;s my update for today. Please don&#39;t forget to enroll in the Dragons of Midwinter Fantasy Book Giveaway. You could not only win the Wizard King, but over 20 more wonderful Fantasy books as well.&lt;br /&gt;

496Greetings all!&lt;br /&gt;
497&lt;br /&gt;
498I&#39;ve thrown in with a group of independent authors whose works feature strong, female characters. &amp;nbsp;I have always admired strong women in fiction, and have always striven to stray away from the archetype wilting violet, waiting for the world to rescue her. &amp;nbsp;Some of my girls may start off seemingly helpless or frail, but in almost all my books, all you have to do is watch as each of my ladies finds her source of power and uses it to steer her own fate. &amp;nbsp;There are no Bella Swans in my books, and there are no cookie-cutter, hot-tempered silly putty romance novel milquetoasts in any of the books being offered in this giveaway (at least we hope!)&lt;br /&gt;
499&lt;br /&gt;
500There are (count &#39;em) 23 authors participating in this giveaway, offering a total of 29 books to the winner(s). &amp;nbsp;Tinna&#39;s Promise and Tinna&#39;s Might are in there with the prize package, which also includes gift cards and other lovely things. &amp;nbsp;The winner gets two hard copies (signed) of the books, and the runner-up gets two digital copies (or coupons to Smashwords.com for free download). &lt;br /&gt;
501&lt;br /&gt;
502So click on through, and enter to win. &amp;nbsp;Almost 30 books of ass-kickin&#39; power-chicks is no prize to thumb your nose at. :) &amp;nbsp;Good luck!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/feeds/7837844039017088845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-giveaway-that-you-should-not-miss.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/7837844039017088845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/7837844039017088845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-giveaway-that-you-should-not-miss.html' title='A giveaway that you should not miss!'/><author><name>Miranda Mayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16576310184990799688</uri><email>[email protected]</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcL_oZQGutQf8aR2sfs343jsRiOdwAaHSM1sRP5FNm0JogjDuzr0kH5SALB8II1p1kFaURtwRulaf67GVMA7KHmimFS9GgX2vmCpOmVNtJlf3D0mrQxBLub0L2djL21w/s220/jacket.jpg'/></author>

As you may have noticed, Mirandamayer.com and the blog got a bit of an overhaul today. They were combined into one. It needed it. It&#39;s funny how something looks suitable and good for a bit, and then all you want is to change it. &amp;nbsp;I wanted something a bit lighter and brighter, especially for the launch of my newest book, &#39;The Wizard King&#39;, which will be launched in January at the Wizard World Portland Comic Con.&lt;br /&gt;
503&lt;br /&gt;
504This month, we had a killer photo shoot up at the Timberline Lodge. This cool vintage building was a &#39;New Deal&#39; project in the thirties, organized to create jobs during the great depression. They employed a great number of brilliant artisans and skilled craftsmen to assemble this impressive building, and today it stands as a testament to craftsmanship and forward-thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
505&lt;br /&gt;
506The exterior of the lodge was portrayed in the movie &#39;The Shining&#39; -- depicting what was called The Overlook Hotel in the movie. &amp;nbsp;It does not have a hedge maze, nor is the interior even remotely like what was shown in the film. &amp;nbsp;The interior is extremely rustic. &amp;nbsp;The lighting has the quality of that of an great old manor, with bright, white light pouring into darkened interiors, bouncing off the rugged textures of wood and stone, giving, at least in my view, an old-world castle type of light quality, something like the old oil portraits. It was what I was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
507&lt;br /&gt;
508With a great team of people, from photographer to hair and makeup stylist, we tramped up there with our lovely models and took a series of beautiful shots. &amp;nbsp;I will post some examples of them (ones we are not using for the book cover).&lt;br /&gt;

561The Wizard King is a Fantasy Romance novel, a sort of alternate world 

561with Regency themes.  The costumes were made by Stephanie Johanesen of <a href="http://www.mthoodcreations.com/" target="_blank">Mount Hood Creations</a> (Robyn's beautiful gown and accessories), and Breck's costume was created by <a href="http://morganshanafelt.carbonmade.com/" target="_blank">Morgan Shanafelt</a>, who also styled the hair and makeup for this photo shoot.<br />
562<br />
563Photographer was <a href="http://www.julieverdini.com/" target="_blank">Julie Savage Lee Photography</a>.<br />
564<br />
565The final cover will be revealed when the book is released.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/feeds/7693628482646353183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-wizard-king-sneak-peeks.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/7693628482646353183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3959671521538247086/posts/default/7693628482646353183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mirandamayer.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-wizard-king-sneak-peeks.html' title='The Wizard King - Sneak Peeks'/><author><name>Miranda Mayer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16576310184990799688</uri><email>[email protected]</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcL_oZQGutQf8aR2sfs343jsRiOdwAaHSM1sRP5FNm0JogjDuzr0kH5SALB8II1p1kFaURtwRulaf67GVMA7KHmimFS9GgX2vmCpOmVNtJlf3D0mrQxBLub0L2djL21w/s220/jacket.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFWBnnJloljl-9L-KXkTw6sIlptr2LNQwdln6-UQzJOT2FjG85ewpss4dwgglVIOwd1wTAKXqaMyid7DQv_CBCnAhloRppwQg1p0zWsAAmx8cI8m5qoK0sEWEfaa5TPh10Fvggq8byNQ/s72-c/book+cover-bookcover-0002.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959671521538247086.post-8456937227264163647</id><published>2013-03-04T10:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2013-11-22T18:50:28.303-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Belletrist"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Blackroot"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Comic-Con"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Signing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tinna&#39;s Might"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tinna&#39;s Promise"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tinna&#39;s Reign"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Update"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="WizardWorld"/><title type='text'>Comicon 2014 and More</title><content type='html'>Greetings all.&lt;br /&gt;
566&lt;br /&gt;
567I&#39;ve been in stealth-mode. Being a new mom ain&#39;t easy, but hell if it isn&#39;t amazing. It is filled with all sorts of experiences that will end up bleeding into the stuff I write, this is without a doubt. &amp;nbsp;Aaaanyway... What&#39;s new? Not too much, but there are some things here and there.&lt;br /&gt;
568&lt;br /&gt;
569I&#39;ve added Blackroot and am working on adding the Belletrist in as Print-On-Demand in addition to eBook format. I will post links as they come. &amp;nbsp;The Belletrist will be as inexpensive as I can swing it, since the eBook is free, but I will be adding illustrations for each short story to make it special. &lt;br /&gt;

574Also, I have secured a spot in at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wizardworld.com/home-portland.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;WizardWorld Comic-Con at the Oregon Convnention Center in Portland on January 24, 25, and 26 of 2014&lt;/a&gt;. I&#39;m very excited. It is my first comic convention. I will have a stock of all of my books with me, I will be signing, and selling, and also carrying some art material and information and such from my book-cover illustrator, Abigail Larson. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s a ways off, but if pregnancy taught me anything.. Time flies, so plan on coming and stop by my table to say hi. :)&lt;br /&gt;
575&lt;br /&gt;
576I&#39;m working on a new manuscript and will be going back to Tinna&#39;s Reign soon. &amp;nbsp;I have been working on writing again, which is good. So that&#39;s it for immediate news. Follow me on Facebook, and you are free to friend me if you can handle my Atheist-themed posts. ::hehheh::&lt;br /&gt;

I haven&#39;t been very creative either. Just after Tinna&#39;s Might was published, I discovered I was pregnant. Go figure. :) &amp;nbsp;Of course, with pregnancy comes the requisite trials and tribulations, starting with morning sickness and sore ta-tas to migraines and a desire to do little more than sleep. &amp;nbsp;Yes, I over-share. Live with it. :D&lt;br /&gt;
579&lt;br /&gt;
580It is timely that I am with child when my heroine is also faced with this surprise at the same age as the author. Maybe it was a foreshadowing, maybe I&#39;m a little bit psychic. Hah! &amp;nbsp;I have been writing, but sporadically. I&#39;ve set aside book 3 for a bit, I am taking a break from Tinna&#39;s world for now, since Tinna&#39;s Might is still fresh on the market. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m focusing instead on a couple of other stories I&#39;ve been working on. &amp;nbsp;I am finding inspiration difficult lately, but it&#39;s slowly coming back.&lt;br /&gt;
581&lt;br /&gt;
582Hopefully I&#39;ll have some new titles available soon enough. I&#39;m particularly happy with one book I&#39;m working on right now, and look forward to sharing it with readers. &amp;nbsp;For now, I&#39;m moderately quiet, except on my Facebook page, where I get a little too riled up by political and religious matters. I tend to be a bit of a blusterer--but I am a fiery character and I get worked up about the world around me. It&#39;s the blight of an writer, to be honed into the world a little too deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
583&lt;br /&gt;
584Those of you who have purchased Tinna&#39;s Might, please don&#39;t forget to post your reviews on your preferred bookselling site... It&#39;s selling nicely in spite of my complete lack of marketing, so that&#39;s a good sign, but I&#39;m only getting star reviews on some eBook sites, and I&#39;d like to see what readers have to say. Writers (most writers) benefit greatly from reader feedback. Even the tough stuff. That doesn&#39;t mean I&#39;m calling out open season of evilness, but I do hope you&#39;ll be objective in your review.&lt;br /&gt;
585&lt;br /&gt;
586Thanks again for being supportive readers! I appreciate everything you do to keep me going as a writer, and I hope I&#39;ll have more stories to offer you soon. &amp;nbsp;And thank you for your patience while we waited out the editing process for Tinna&#39;s Might. &amp;nbsp;Ping me on Twitter or Facebook, I am responsive and always happy to chat it up.&lt;br /&gt;
