I want to thank the following people/groups for their love and support over the past eight weeks as I suffered through the edit of THE TRAIT:
Zero7
Thomas Newman
Pharrell
Jill Scott
Gregorian
Gary Numan
Keane
Imogen Heap
John Williams
Jay-Z
Kenny Loggins
Owl City
and Howard Shore.
Thank you for keeping me going, for distracting me and for inspiring me ... because without you, I'd still be accepting track changes.
Ah yeah ... THE TRAIT's edit is done ... yeah!

I laughed out loud so hard tonight.
While I was reviewing my edit, which is moments away from being FINISHED, I ran across this, my most favorite line of edit from my editor ever:
"Unless they are toasting with pewter beer tankards, I would say 'clinked.'"
Isn't that the best?

Update.
You know those vinyl clings that are so popular right now? You can stick them on the walls of your house, your car window, dishes, frames, just about anything. Well, I just ordered one that says SIMPLIFY.
I can't wait until I can become a minimalist. I just want to write. I have been trying to finish book two of the 4CRs series for about three months now, but there is constantly something else to do; websites, business cards, t-shirts, dust jackets, edits, promo material. I am not complaining -- what is going on in my life is a dream come true for me. So many good things are happening and I've been incredibly busy. Busy is good, but so is simplicity. OR even better would be a nice even keel of both, a little bit of busy with a simplistic undertone. Wouldn't that be heavenly?
It is coming, the day when I can focus on nothing but my stories. It's a good thing that my daughter pushes me to write. She is obsessed with Aidan, the hero in the 4CRs. I wonder if it's healthy for her to love the characters of my books. I guess it's better than a real-life junior high romance, yes?
On to more work. The websites are near completion. They were much more involved than I/we thought they'd be, but I am proud of them, nonetheless.
Here's to future with simplistic balance for all.

WEBSITE!
Wow. This one little seven character word has translated into a great deal of work for me, but the results are going to be phenomenal. I am so happy with the design of THE TRAIT website and I can't wait for it to go live. The projected go live date is set for October 4th. Oh yeah - that's an actual date. I am starting to get those actual dates now and each time I do, it makes me giddy.
I will post links to the websites as each one goes online.

Summertime.
School is out and it's a sort of a buzz ...
back then I didn't really know what it was,
but now I see what have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness.
I can't believe that summer for me and my chillens (a.k.a. kids) is almost over. We have been exceptionally busy as a family. My son is almost half way through a 3 week trip back east, and my daughter is leaving for the east-north-central region of the country (GO BUCKEYES!) in a couple of days ... leaving my husband and me alone for a entire week. Seven days together, alone, without a child in sight hasn't happened in our home since 1993. It will be an interesting marital adventure, I am sure of it. If my husband knows what is good for him, he'll buck up and take me to the Happy Sumo like he promised me he would. I will let you know if he comes through.
Oh, and just a side note ... I just finished book one of a two book series, THE 4CRs. It is a good story line, meaty and savory, just like the Surf and Turf roll I plan on devouring at the Happy next week. On to more writing. I don't have a release date yet for THE TRAIT, but we're talking about mid-October!!! Yes! Now to enjoy a little Will Smith and his lyrical genius.
