Where am I?

Sorry followers. With the new year, and my new writing goals, I've been trying to make every moment count and write! I'm working on the last installment of The Talisman Series, The Onyx Talisman and my new work in progress which is a secret. :) heh heh. You can bookshelf TOT on GoodReads now if you want.

I happy to announce that, The Sapphire Talisman is flying off the internet shelves everywhere and I'm so thrilled, and it's cheaper too. $11.51 on Amazon folks! Thanks for all the support and great reviews out there. My hard work is finally paying off, literally. I am working to put together a Street Team so you can be involved in the final process with Nicholas, Julia and *cough* others, and be rewarded for letting others know about it. Keep your eyes peeled for that one.

For those wondering, The Onyx Talisman should be available sometime beginning of fall. I am not going to have a book come out in December ever again... Was I crazy? YES! My family is just now recouping as Mommy comes back into their lives again. Well... kind of. With my hefty writing goals, I can be found buried in a Word document or drifting off into my dream world as my characters speak to me, and I forget which step I am in ... conditioner? or shampoo? Only writers are allowed such luxuries of being so nutty.

If you want to send words of encouragement and push me along, I'm all for it!

Hugs, Brenda
