Being Shy Doesn't Make You Famous!

I've spent the past 8 years hiding in my home due to illness. Now that I'm a published author, there are responsibilities for me to get out and do book signings, promote, do interviews at local papers, go on BlogTalkRadio shows, and so on...

After being agoraphobic for so long, it's like trying to crank a block of hardwood through a butter churn. Not easy. However, the more I do it, the more exciting it gets. The only fly in the ointment (I use the example of a fly because I have one buzzing around my desk annoying the daylights out of me) is finding enough time to fit it all into a well oiled machine as well as continue to write.

Good health is a blessing that many don't appreciate until it's gone. Each day I get a little better. Somedays are better than others, however, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and head on full steam ahead. Life is getting more wonderful as each day goes by.

If I was asked what I would do if I only had one day left in my life, I'd say I'd share it with my familiy and write during every spare minute I had. It's wonderful to be feeling good again.

Hugs

To blog, or not to blog is the question. How many of you spend a lot of time putting thoughts to computer daily? I'm unfortunately not one of them as I tend to spend a ton of my day editing and creating book covers for a number of people, or publishers. This doesn't mean that I don't want to touch base and blog with you all, but sometimes I need a nudge to remember. How often do you have to have people remind you it's time to do something. I require it all the time. lol Don't be shy. Please give me a nudge if you want to hear from me. It's not that I've forgotten you, it's that I've forgotten myself. Happy reading.

When heroes beat the odds.

Cancer! There, I said it. Having had it myself, I know the fear and pain associated with it, however, I beat it 26 years ago. Now, I've known and lost so many people from the disease, that I stopped counting long ago. Cancer affects everyone. If you haven't had it, you probably know someone who has, or does. My beautiful niece just shaved her head to beat the balding that happens during Chemo. She's beautiful with or without hair. Taking it one day at a time and never giving up the fight is the only way to beat it, or pass on, knowing that you did your best to win. This disease is the worst! Have you ever read a book where the hero or heroine had to battle disease? Do they win in the end, or fade like a blossom? The best thing about writing is that your characters can overcome any challenge. My psychic ability characters have ultimate skills that will keep you enthralled. It's great to be able to live in a world for a short time where magic-like skills keep people

Hi Everybody, It’s my pleasure to be here and I’m super excited to hang out with Franny on her blog. Pretty sweet, right? My name is Angela K Roe and I write contemporary romance. My Walkers Ridge Romance series consists of This Montana Man , My Favorite Things , and Two Times the Love , and it takes place in a small town in Montana and has been compared to Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove series. (Seriously, the first time someone said that to me, I almost fainted) The series is a trilogy. Each is a complete story on it’s own with some of the same characters woven through all three books. So you get to catch up on your favorite townsfolk. In addition to the Walkers Ridge Romance series, I’ve got a contemporary traditional erotica romance called Hogs & Heartaches , which takes place in Sturgis SD during the annual bike rally. It’s what I call a Spicy Romance. I have a second contemporary traditional erotica coming out soon and I’d love to share some information with yo
