New Story? July 27, 2010

I’ve got another idea for a story.  It’s a good one (I hope) and a bit nostalgic.  Maybe I can blame it on the Star Trek:TNG re-runs on BBCA but I see a plot forming.  Need some more research  on the exact time I was to venture into since it is very specific.

I thought I was all “done” with fan fic but this could be an interesting story.  I don’t think it would get as hot as Aria’s Song but hoping for a sweet tale of teen romance, on the Enterprise.

Not sure when I will start writing this story since I have one more week of an online class and the fall semester begins 1 Sept but time will tell.  Wish me luck and let me know if this sounds like a good idea or would like to help me flush out plot points with me.

Second Chances – Chapter 56 July 23, 2010

Happy Friday everyone.  Another hot week here and I am really hoping for some relief soon.

I have decided that when Second Chances is finished, offering it in both print and eBook form over here.  My novel “Fire and Ice”  is up there in eBook format but the sales of the print copies are still over at Fireball Publishing.

In today’s installment, its all about the Oscar after parties and Beth realizing that the movie is almost complete and will have to say good bye to Rob soon.

Chapter 56

Flyers Win! May 24, 2010

I know it has been a while since I posted last the tale of Beth and Rob.  This will be fixed shortly but in the mean time I am celebrating the Philadelphia Flyers win tonight over the Montreal Canadians and winning the Eastern Conference.

Over at Fireball Publishing, the publisher of my Hockey Novel Fire and Ice, has agreed to offer a discount on it until game time (8pm ET) on Saturday, May 29th.  A $4.90 discount has been applied to Fire and Ice in honor of the amazing work of the goalie, Michael Leighton (#49).

This is a limited time offer since stock of my novel is dwindling.

It can be purchased over in the “bookstore”.

Buy my book and enjoy the rest of the playoffs!

No chapter friday January 31, 2010

Sorry I did not post a new chapter yesterday.  My husband left for Iraq yesterday (Friday) and I really wasn’t up to posting a new chapter.  There will be something new on Monday somewhere between Noon and 2 ET but I just needed to take the moment to tend to my family and myself.

Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far.  Rob and Beth are a great pair of characters to write and they will be showing up in future stories.

Thank you for understanding my pause in the story.  Things will return to normal on Monday.

Second Chances – Chapter 12 October 30, 2009

Beth and Rob find a place to practice on their own and Beth’s day gets a bit worse.

Chapter 12

Over the next week, I will probably not be able to post on Twitter that the new chapters are up due to unknown internet capabilities while I’m on vacation.  But have no fear!  The chapters will keep coming next Monday, Wednesday and Friday like always.

Happy Halloween everyone.  Don’t eat too much candy!

Second Chances – Chapter 1 October 5, 2009

Meet Beth!

She wrote a novel and never thought it would be the success it became.  Now her best friend, and agent, sold it to a major Hollywood Studio and its going to be a movie!

Chapter 1

Don’t forget to enter for a chance to win an autographed copy of “Fire and Ice”.  Comments close on Wendsday, October 7th!!!

I’m up on Twitter October 20, 2008

I’ve decided to try Twitter out.  To get inside my brain a bit more, you can follow me at http://twitter.com/KarenWriter.

With me doing the 2008 National Novel Writing Month starting on November 1st I’m sure I’ll be either “tweeting” with ideas to “Fire and Ice”s sequal or when I’m procrastinating writing it.

They’re in!

The books came in Friday and look fantastic!  I could have not imagined them to look any better.  It’s almost too much to see my own book in print.

“Fire and Ice” has been in my computer since 2003 and I’ve worked hard on it for over the past year to get it ready to send out to the world.  I hope the world enjoys it because I truly enjoyed writing it and all the other stuff that goes into making a book.

I’ve learned a lot during the process and know that I have so much more to learn but I’ve got many stories to tell and now that I’ve gotten it all started, I can’t see me ever stopping.

So, if you like what you’ve read so far, please go over to my publisher’s site and buy a copy (little bit of begging there).  The adventure is just beginning for Bobbie and Connor!

Fireball Publishing Bookstore

I just received word that the copies of “Fire and Ice” will be arriving TOMORROW.  Yes, that’s Friday!
