My new publishing house Solstice has asked me to write these down for you so:

5 fun things you didn't know about the author

1. I like dogs... I love big slobbering hounds!

2. I have learned to make a diabetic Zuppa Engleis that would knock your socks off! I'm pretty skilled at diabetic cooking now.

3. My daughter does the counter clockwise circle dance like a Heyoka (She can only do it backwards) SO if you ever need to lift my spirits just tell my daughter to do a sacred dance! Lol

4. I usually call people by their screen names instead of their real names. I even do it to my husband!

5. I love trees! You might be a water baby or an earth baby. I'm a tree baby!

So hey there's all my deep, dark secrets. Excellent news on the book. It could be out in just a couple of months! OH I'M SO EXCITED! A book launch takes a lot of work.... writing a book can take years, but that is just a tiny smidgen of the work involved. The real work begins after they sign you! Edits, rewrites, website, blog, social media, promotion, bookings, tours (if you're doing those) demographics, then sales. I am exhausted just thinking about it. It does however put me in a great mood to think I accomplished something. Who'da thunk it!?

I am really hoping that no one expects me to try to be someone I'm not. I suck as an actress and in truth enjoy being myself. Any way I think a real mark of success is to be who you genuinely are. I really disapprove of people who pretend that because they have accomplished something that they are better then the rest of the world and must start social climbing to prove the point. I really am unsure of who that kind of behavior is supposed to impress any way. Because if you achieve something and then you take the time to ask your friends what they have achieved.... guess what? They achieved something too! I try always to remember that the same God that made me made everyone else too. And TRUTH some of the greatest accomplishments are the ones that have been achieved by people we have never heard of. In example ever heard the saying, “Greatest invention since the fork?” Ok so who invented the fork? I doubt anyone really knows that. Yet still today everyone uses them. Don't they? Just sayin'.

All of the stories are updated as far as I see on the website. The only work not added yet is the competition piece. That is rather long and may put me over word count so we'll just see what Carly decides. The links are up too, so let anyone you know, know that these are available because you never really know who might need the help.

You know when I first started blogging I was so confused and scared about it that the very idea made me nauseous. I have changed my mind on that! I love this.... it's like talking to an old friend. I am sorry though old friend, I hear work calling!

That's my side of it,

Angel
