First Day of Fall!

Family/Friends,

Yes, it is that time of year again when the leaves change colors and the days get shorter and cooler and....WAIT! That's everywhere but Phoenix of course :)  Our fall doesn't start until right around Halloween. So that means that we still have about five weeks of 90+ degree weather, YAY...not!

Either which way folks, we are looking at just about ninety days out until Christmas, there, I said it! So don't say you didn't have enough time to buy your dear Auntie Mary a gift, you've been given plenty of warning....lol.

Moving on to business, I'll tell you guys that at on 9/30, I will be publishing my fourth eBook, Captive in the Game and it will be FREE for 24 hours on Amazon.  I will be sending further communication via Twitter and FB, so stay tuned for that. 

With respect to the MS that I submitted (to IRN) the Acquisitions Editor contacted me and stated that it may be until early next week before someone gets back to me, so they are apparently backed up; I will be patiently awaiting word.  In the meantime, I'm moving on to other writing commitments, one of which is gearing up for NaNoWrimo.  Incidentally, this is my first time being involved with the organization; kick-off here in Phoenix will be on 10/20.

Well, I think that's all I have for now folks. I hope you guys have a great weekend!
Take care, Maria

Back in Phoenix!

Finally back home and back to my daily routine. Time to get back to the business of writing and promoting. That said, please take the time to visit www.mywritingden.net for details on my first blogging contest of 2012 to start on 4/30 - there will be prizes. Also, be sure to stop by my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MyWritingDen1 from time to time to keep up with my latest escapades. That's all for now folks - take care and be well! PS: hope you guys like the new blogspot layout :-)

Calgon...take me away!

Family/Friends, I understand now why some companies/celebreties hire people to tend to their Social Media networking, it is very time consuming, not to mention mentally exhausting. Point in case, just today I spent over an hour on Blogger and YouTube working out some kinks with my profile/settings. My head's spinning and I'm pooped. On the topic of Social Media, I'd like to take a moment to thank my daughter, Pamela for acting as a consultant on the topic. Pamela works in the field and has actually helped launch my first AdWords campaign. Although it is progressing slowly, I have seen an increase in site ( www.mywritingden.net ) traffic and Twitter - 10 new followers in a week. I've also been receiving sporadic emails from 'fans' telling me how much they enjoy my stories...so this keeps me going. Ohhh, and a VERY notable mention to Linus Ly who gave me the idea to use a 'new' slogan Erotica, She Wrote . Liked it so much I'm already using it. T...

A Long Weekend Ahead :-)

Family/Friends: For many Americans this is the first big holiday since New Year's (not many people get Civil Rights or even President's Day off for that matter), so I hope you have fun plans and enjoy the time outdoors with  family and friends. A quick update about my writing, I have received feedback from three publishers and although all of it has been positive it will require me to revise 75% of my work (each story  is >6K words), needless to say the task at hand is somewhat dauting.  I have, however, taken a couple of days just to think about the best approach and plan on implementing some of my ideas this weekend.  To those of you who keep up with me (Twitter, FB, this blog, etc.) I truly appreciate it.  You keep my spirits up when the 'doubt bug' creeps in. Take care and 'til next time! Maria
