Here are this week's new page and word counts. It seems that I make more progress on one novel over the other. It helps me out by focusing on one each week. My other WIP still gets my attention, but one always has a larger jump over the other. By switching my focus back and forth, I feel like I am getting more accomplished each week.

Book Title Teaser


Two more letters have been added. Who can guess the titles of my current works in progress?

Weekly Look Into My World

Here is a book from my personal library of sources that I have found to be inspiring and thought provoking. I have always loved Art Nouveau art, and this made for a great addition in support of that preference. If you are interested in unique compositions and long flowing hair, get yourself a copy. It makes for a great read as well.

The Kimono Collecting Writer

  Kimonos   A Brief History     The donning of what we think of as the traditional kimono, began over a thousand years ago during the Heian Period. (784-1185 A.D.). Although today, this garb is rarely seen in every day wear, yet during more formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, and tea ceremonies, these ornate garments are worn. At first the kimono was worn with Chinese influenced Hakama pants. These partially pleated pant like skirts were pulled over the kimono to keep it closed.

   The Art of Illustration      Illustrating images has been a way of communication for thousands of years with the earliest examples discovered in Lascaux, France, where cave paintings were determined to be circa 15,000 B.C. In ancient civilizations such as those of Greece and Italy, art became a major way of life and was used to honor their gods. And let's not forget ancient Egypt where hieroglyphics were used to communicate history, ruling pharaohs and their practices.       "In the Middle Ages, narrative pictorials appeared in illuminated manuscript." During this time, recording religious writings was the main reason for creating detailed images. Of course from there, with the invention of different printing techniques came new ways of displaying images and text for consumer viewing. Then came the profession of being an illustrator. The profession took hold during the 1800s when artists would create small prints to be sold in stalls or s...

My debut novel Queen of Swords came out May 5th, 2020. It is the first in the Stone Wielder's Legacy Trilogy. Summary: An unexpected ruler will rise in the kingdom of Azulyria. Ivyssa is a brash, unrefined Hedarian woman who would rather practice archery than deal with politics. Though she claims to be unsuitable for this role, she accepts it with grace and honor. The selection process is a test of worthiness, and is quite painful. Ivyssa searches for help, and accidentally interrupts a sacred ritual. Because of her interference, an innocent lost their life. This injustice fuels the anger of a self appointed assassin who is determined to eliminate her at all costs. A building desire for revenge takes an unprecedented turn as a spell goes horribly wrong, taking all if Azulyria with it. Decades later, it is now up to an ex FBI agent and a Stone Walker to reverse the tragic fate that had befallen a land full of elemental powers and intrigue. Can Alexandra Nealy and Jared K...
