I just started a new project. I'm still working on "Don't Kill Norman," but I'm also writing some short stories that are loosely based on Fairy Tales. I've got a few written and I'm thinking of putting them together as a collection and publishing it. I might even get my pencils out and add some illustrations. 2013 is going to be a good year for creativity!

For Christmas, Hashimoto Blues will be FREE to download on Amazon.com. This free promotion will take place on Christmas Day and the day after, 12/25 - 12/26. Merry Christmas everyone!

I got the email this morning saying that my review was finished and ready to be seen. Honestly, I was scared to open it. After getting a really horrible review from a reader last week, I had lost my confidence and didn't feel like getting kicked in the face again. I'm glad I opened it.

That's right - Hashimoto Blues has a new cover. I've been unsatisfied with the one I had for some time now and have been playing around with something new. I finally settled on using the same photo my husband, Bruno, took of the snow mobile trail behind our house, but I took out the crappy graphics I used to set the type off and instead made it bigger and bolder.
What do you think?
