It seems I've overextended myself. I've got too many projects I'm juggling right now and don't know where to begin. When this happens I shut down. I don't write at all. I did manage to write a synopsis yesterday.
I've got two editors interested in two full length mss. Both fall outside the erotica genre and so I'll assume two new names if they're contracted.
School is only a few weeks away for my youngest. I need to start thinking about shopping. Around the same time my other daughter turns 21 - woo hoo. She's excited. So we know there's a party that needs to be planned.
In other news Night Owl Reviews has reviewed two of my books. Both were pretty good. I got nervous with the Submit With Me review. She gave it a 3.75, but then it started off as if she hated the book. After reading further that wasn't the case. Here are the links if you want to check them out!

Playing Catch-Up
The last three days have been crazy. My grandson was born on Friday the 13th and while my daughter was in the hospital I got to take care of my 16 month old granddaughter. Talk about exhausting. I forgot how active toddlers are, especially ones who are experiencing MANY changes in their lives. And I realized how out of shape I really am. I hear the treadmill calling me again.
To top things off on Friday the 13th one of my dogs ate a prescription I’d just filled an hour earlier. 90 pills. So in the craziness of it all I had to induce vomiting. Luckily this dog has a cast iron stomach and eventually got rid of the pills. I thought for sure I killed him.
Today I’m taking a mental health day. I’m on the couch with my laptop and blankie. It’s damp and rainy here today. I have a ton of emails to catch up on and a synopsis to write still!!! Its coming Kat I promise. LOL
I’m really behind on my deadlines for the two books I need to finish before the month is out. Hopefully I’ll get some writing done today, but aside from that synopsis it’s not looking promising.In other news: NOR reviewed Ignited and it was a good one!

Bogged Down
I hate to use this excuse, but the simple fact is – it’s the truth.
I just finished edits for Sliding Home which is coming from Aspen Mountain on June 4th. I’m in the middle of the cover art request. I have to write TWO synopses. I don’t like writing these!
I’m in the middle of writing my cougar story and still trying to finish up self-edits on book three to send off to my editor. I’m barely coming up for air these days.
I’d like to say sorry to everyone for not posting enough lately. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been making the rounds too much either. I’ll get back to commenting when life gets a little simpler.
The cold weather has returned to the northeast and I’m not happy. Add in the day job which has picked up…no wonder I’ve had a migraine for three days.
Til I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Happy Tuesday

Rejection and AOL Suck
Actually this rejection didn’t suck as much as I thought it would. My editor said the characters were under developed. I don’t know she’s probably right. It’s a short 7k, so they probably are. I’ll look at it sometime in the future when I have more time. I’m sure if I add to it and further develop the characters I can submit it to another editor. I’m not sure I was really “feeling” the story at the time. I wrote it during a dark period in my life. Oh well…
Now AOL on the other hand is driving me nuts. Seems if you have urls in your email they don’t want to deliver them. So, I’ve missed NUMEROUS emails – some very important. Like the rejection. :O) Who knows what else I’ve missed. I hope they get their shit together soon or I’ll be moving to a new email.
In other news…with the help of some good friends I’ve narrowed down the titles for my new series. My editor likes one in particular but I’m having reservations about it. We’ll see. The editing for Sliding Home is done. Now I have to write the synopsis and send that in. only one book left to edit.
Time to get writing. Happy Monday everyone!
