Authors Looking Bad

**Sigh**

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be on message boards. You learn too much stuff, too quickly. I can't even claim innocence because the nosy sleuths have already put the 4-1-1 out there for me to click the link and ooh and aah about.

Guess you are wondering what bug crawled into my G-string, huh? It's this one: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23463908.

Once again, an author has given authorhood a bad name. And these traditional publishers....sheesh! I think I'll pen a new memoir, get a fat advance, then stick my tongue out and let them try to sue to get a penny back when they find out it's fake, fake, fake.

This would take me into gestapo mode: heads would roll, hearts ripped out of chests...Make some"breathing room" in the budget.

Good girl authors do finish last...but not for always :)

Simply Sydney Global Blog Tour!

Get ready to be entertained, folks. Beginning next week, I'll began my Simply Sydney Global Blog Tour. That's correct, beginning next week, I'll have a myriad of fellow authors, publicists and book affectianos here talking about, what else? BOOKS!

And don't forget, I have a few other blogs, so I'll keep you informed of who is starring where. It should be a load of fun and will introduce you all to great new reads. Hope you'll stick around for the ride.

Hello World!

Wow, folks, it's been a minute since you've heard from me. I was hit hard, hard, hard by the death of my number one supporter and encourager--my mother--in May. My writing muse tactfully decided to go into mourning with me and I must tell you, I've written barely a conherent sentence since that time. But then this past weekend....something just "clicked."

Seriously. I felt an easing of grief and lightness to my physical being. And let me tell you, delicately, the activities in the wee hours of the morning were....off the chain! So as my spirits lift, my writing will return. And I'm in the middle of some very "interesting" ones. Stay tuned and strap on your seatbelt. Payback, Inc. is on its way.....
