Today I’m taking part in the Re-introduce Yourself Blogfest hosted by Mark Koopmans, Stephen Tremp, Elise Fallson and C.M. Brown. Some of you know me a little already, and I know some of you, but we don’t all know each other, so this is a fun chance to break-out the nametags and say “Hi.”
Here’s a quick snapshot of what I’ve been up to lately:
- I started this blog a couple years ago because I love writing (and reading) and being able to discuss it with people who share that joy.
- I write fantasy and have several novels either completed or in the works. Epic fantasy is my first love, but my current WIP is a space opera and next up is an MG series, so I like to mix it up.
- Last fall, I took the e-book plunge and published a pair of short stories called Running in the Dark. Check ‘em out here.
- I’m a PR Counselor by day, an MBA student by night and…oh yeah...in between, I find time to write. I’ll be done with the MBA in May – woo hoo!
For more basic stuff, check out my author page of the blog.
Sounds like you have have three full-time jobs- one as a counselor, another as a student, and finally one as a writer. When do you get to sleep?!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I also like to mix up the stuff I write. Keeps life interesting!
How fun to introduce ourselves to someone new. I'm looking forward to reading your space opera! Check us out at http://citymusecountrymuse2012.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you're earning a MBA - good for you! And wow, you're busy! I don't know how some people find time to write. I need to work on finding balance to fit in writing time, that is if I don't distracted by social media. Nice to re-meet you, Nicole :)
ReplyDeleteWow...how do you find time to write? That's impressive. It's so cool that you're writing different genres. This is such a cool blogfest!
