It's so exciting and anxiety provoking all rolled up into one frazzled ball of energy. I put my heart and soul into my baby, as all authors do. Like Sally Field expressed, 'They like me,they really like me?'
I hope they like me. As a practicing witch I read through all the books out there, hungry for more. I wasn't particularly interested in sleuths that cooked, unless they used a cauldron.
I only hope my story holds up with the best of them, and that they are read, enjoyed and shared.

Spring Fever
I should be working! Ugh.
I guess I'm antsy with spring around the corner, but book two awaits to be edited and Blood Pool (#3) is waiting in the wings. Another Vampire book whispers to me in my dreams, asking when will it's time come.
I guess I should get to it then, before the really warm weather comes.
More coffee first~

My cover is done as you can see! I've been working on book two, Dead of Winter and started a new novel. Blood Pool is its working title. Vampires, Fae, and Shape-shifters are some of the characters.
I've also gotten some positive feedback from author M.R. Sellars! He's written the awesome Rowan Gant Investigation series.
"Passionate, steamy, and magickally intense. -- M. R. Sellars, Author of the Rowan Gant Investigations"
Whooo Hoooo!!!!

Well, a lot has happened lately! The final edits are beginning for the book, Every Witch Way But Dead and I am working on the second book Dead of Winter.
My article in PaganPages came out, so that's exciting, too.

Plus, this week I attended a Fund Raiser with Blackmore's Night! It was an intimate dinner and they sang (we all sang and danced). They are truly magickal people, warm and giving. Their inner light shines through and if anyone isn't familiar with their music, you should check them out. Ritchie, is from Deep Purple fame.
Just check out my website http://b-elladonna.com/ their music is playing on most of the pages.
There's a link to them as well at my site.

Blessings all!!!!

Thank the Goddess Merc retro will soon be over.
It's been a tough time.
I had an interesting meditation in which the message of don't trust the cat (Leo) came
through.
I know what that means. HMMmmmmmm.......

Hey Happy Turkey Day!!!

Happy Birthday Matt!!!

Love you!

This weekend was a busy one. I attended the local annual Samhain festival and met author Trish Telesco. She's authored many wonderful books such as, Kitchen Witch and Magic Made Easy. I felt an immediate kinship with her and we had a nice talk about writing and wicca.
The ritual was very powerful as well, the room was filled to capacity by both the seen and unseen.

Happy New Year.

Blessed Be~

I just received the release date of my book! The title is under construction, but the date is April 24, '07.
I'm also creating a website as well. Busy--busy--busy!

I am learning so much these past few years, I think my body needs to catch up with the rest of me. Right now I'm in the midst of my Priestess studies and I'm trying to learn computer lingo. I've been involved with the 'occult' all my life and recently I decided to make it official and join a coven and officially become a High Priestess.
Also, I'm communicating with the art dept. about my vision for the book cover. As more information becomes available, I'll be posting it. It's so exciting, I'm waiting to hear from a few authors about writing some blurbs for the book cover.

Welcome to my blog.

Welcome to my blog. This is a new venture for me and I hope to see some familiar 'faces'.

I am an author of what would be considered a paranormal mystery series. I'm a practicing witch and am currently working on my priestess studies and working on the release of my first novel. It's in the beginning stages so, I'm not sure if they will re-work the title.

I also help--when time permits--manage an online spiritual group http://groups.msn.com/EarthBasedSpirituality/welcome.msnw
I love to garden, paint, read, and write. I'm a wife and mom as well.

Bright Blessings!
