Happy Holidays 2020! #FREE Books

 

I wish you love, kindness, and rest this holiday season. 2020 has been a rough year on every level, and 2021 isn't going to be easier. It's going to take the world a long time to recover, and we must be patient and compassionate.

I realize I've been quiet this year. Do know that I still sneak around and peek at your blogs whenever I get a chance. Usually I don't get on the computer during the day because my son needs it for virtual schooling, and by the time evening rolls around, I'm too drained to do much of anything. I don't expect 2021 to be much different on the school front. Cheers to all the families and students pushing forward with their education in a pandemic. It's tougher than I ever imagined, and I only have one kid!

Next year is going to bring on new challenges for my family. My husband was recently diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It's indolent (meaning it's hibernating and could possibly not affect him for the rest of his life), so his outlook is very good, but we are still in a pandemic. I take nothing for granted.

Apart from everything else, it has been a good writing year for me. I've published two books under my pen name, Morena Silver, and I have two completed first drafts. Next year, I'll be releasing at least three books including my first shared world novel and my LitRPG.

Reading has helped me get through 2020. I want to share with you that gift. For the next five days, I'm offering three books for FREE!

Geeky and hilarious contemporary romance
LOOSE CORSET

When a fledgling vampire wakes in a funeral home run by demons
OF BLOOD AND SORROW

Dealing with the undead will seem like child's play when the Cult of Ammut comes calling
OF GODS AND SORROW

Don't forget about all these wonderful holiday reads!

#IWSG for December 2018

The Insecure Writer's Support Group (IWSG) is the brilliant idea of Alex J. Cavanaugh. The purpose of the group is to share doubts and insecurities and to encourage one another. Please visit the other participants and share your support. A kind word goes a long way.

This month's awesome co-hosts are: J.H. Moncrieff, Tonja Drecker , Patsy Collins, and Chrys Fey!

This month's optional question: What are five objects we'd find in your writing space?

1. A big cup of water. I drink A LOT of water. Sometimes I flavor the water, but I don't drink anything else during the day.
2. Paper. Be it notebooks or scraps or whatever is lying about. I've gotten better about writing stuff down so I don't forget.
3. Pencils. I do have lots of pens too, but I write notes in pencil because my brain works faster than my hand, and I need to erase a lot.
4. The TARDIS. Several of them, in fact! A model, a lamp, a stocking, and string lights.
5. My cat. Well, I guess I can't include him as an object. His cat cube is to my right under the window. That's where he spends most days while I'm working.

This month's insecurities: Always it's about time. I just don't have enough of it. I'm far behind on everything I want to do. I know I should change my expectations of what I can do, but I always stretch beyond. On one hand, it's highly motivating. On the other, frustrating. The new year will have to come with some changes or the few white hairs I have will become a whole head of them!

How have you been over the past month? Anyone develop a time turner yet?

Starting off the summer with free geeky romance!

It's the first day of summer break in my household. While I'm excited about getting in some family time, I'll be losing a lot of a writer time.

To help my sanity, once a week, a group of gamer buddies come over to our house and we play for hours. We scheme, roll dice, and laugh like madmen.

 I'm sharing all that fun with you. Plus a little extra bit on the naughty side! Laughs, nerd talk, and steamy scenes.

True Shifter (Totem #9) plus 3 #free books and a big #giveaway!

Three sisters, seven totems, one chance to save the world.

Saskia Dorn can't bear to lose anyone else. But when the only man she's ever loved turns his back on her, she runs off to sacrifice herself to the totem quest.

With a disgusting kiss, a dying house spirit grants her the power to shift into any creature. Yet she has neither the time to train nor the imagination to utilize the gift to its fullest. How will she manage to defeat a villain who has mastered the ability and made her the person she is? Saskia only has a few freakin' hours to figure it out. After all, the fate of every shifter in the world depends on her victory.

Buy the book here.

Add the book to read on Goodreads.

Totem Tidbit: It's common knowledge that I'm a pantser. When I was writing this final book in the series, I didn't know how the heroes would manage to fight the villain in the final battle. I couldn't come up with any way for them to manage a victory. It wasn't until I arrived at the scene that I knew what was going to happen, and it was spectacular. While it does cause me stress at times, I do love being a pantser because of surprises like these.

I'm celebrating with free books and a big giveaway!

 For five days only, the first three books in the Totem series are free! Get hooked on the totem quest. Just click on the links below.

Dark Dawning (Totem #1)

Silent Whispers (Totem #2)

Cloak of Snow (Totem #3)

Enter the giveaway for a chance to win the entire Totem series and some really cool swag. I have these awesome little polar bear key chains that need homes! The giveaway is open internationally.

Saturday Six for August 25th

1. What a busy week! My son started preschool and it went wonderfully. He walked in like he owned the school at orientation, and then was very eager to return the first official day of school. It just so happened to be my day as teacher's helper (it's a co-op school and so I have to do that once a month), and so I could be there with him his first day. I was pleased he wasn't clingy nor did he protest when I played with other children. I was so proud of him. Isn't he adorable?

2. I rewrote the ending to my steampunk short story and did a bit of tweaking. I submitted it to REAL GIRLS DON'T RUST yesterday. I love the title for that anthology!

3. I received two books in the mail that I won as prizes. The first is from Cherie Reich. I picked Break Out by Nina Croft. I also won Demon Hunting in Dixie by Lexi George in another giveaway. Kensington Publishing sent a bunch of swag with it too! I love free books.

4. Even though I didn't get a chance to attend my local writers' group meeting last Saturday, I critiqued the submissions for it. That took up a little more time than I expected, but I consider critiquing an excellent exercise in improving your craft.

5. FEARLESS has had over 1200 downloads now. It definitely helped that it went free on Amazon for the Kindle. It makes my stomach flutter when I hear how much people love it. I need to get writing and put something new out there for you wonderful readers!

6. No plans for this weekend. Maybe we'll get to the pool one last time before it closes for the season. Next week will be another busy week. I'll have another first: my first parents' meeting at school. Eek!

Have an awesome weekend!
