Is it a little narcissistic that I'm devoting an entire month to celebrating my birthday? Well, not just my birthday, but the one-year anniversary of two of my books: Never Forgotten (my debut novel, released on 7/1/14) and Current Impressions (Never Forgotten #2, release on 7/18/14). In any case, birthdays have always been special to me, and I've always enjoyed mine. I'm really looking forward to the fun we're going to have this month!
I'm not going to go on and on because I COULD (writer, remember?), but I do want to thank you for celebrating with me. I appreciate each and every one of you. Have fun, play along. I'm planning to share a lot about me, and I hope you'll do the same because that's what friends do.
You'll find videos on my YouTube channel (it's shockingly bare right now, but I have plans to grow it, especially this month), images on Instagram, and updates on Facebook and Twitter. Like, comment and share to your hearts content. Spread the love and you might just win a prize in the process. Now to the fun stuff... The first thing I'm going to share is where I write. Well, this is where I write MOST of the time. I also have a super tiny Netbook, and sometimes after sitting at my desk all day at work (yes, I do have a day job), I just cannot sit in another desk chair. On those nights, I curl up on the couch, squint at the little screen, and type away. Occasionally, I resort to pen and paper, but my preference is to type. I have a better chance of keeping up with my thoughts that way. So, here it is, my desk. Read the caption, and see if you can figure me out. ;-)
Last, but not least, the giveaway.
This will run all month long, so feel free to come back. Many things can be entered more than once. There will be three grand prizes, which I announced in my first video here.

Ahh, it appears you like to listen to music, eat chocolate, and drink coffee (or tea?) while you write?! I know a lot of authors say they listen to music while writing, but I'm not sure I could do that... I get too easily distracted ;-)

Good observations! I love tea and coffee, i usually start the day with coffee and then switch to tea. I do listen to music - it becomes background noise but tunes out the other "noises" (like the TV that is just outside of this shot.)

Angel - great observations! I do love Disney, and my favorite ride at WDW is the Haunted Mansion (hence, the awesome coasters!) Mindy and I were in a writing class together. She's a great lady and friend. Her mid-grade books are very fun. :-)
