And I was so looking forward to taking my pet elephant for a walk through the cemetery...

Double Negative
I'm happy to announce C. Lee McKenzie has another book out! It's called Double Negative, a contemporary/realistic Young Adult fiction.
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Summary:
Hutchison Mc Queen is a sixteen-year-old
smart kid who screws up regularly. He’s a member of Larkston High’s
loser clique, the boy who’s on his way to nowhere—unless juvenile hall counts as a
destination. He squeaks through classes with his talent for eavesdropping and
memorizing what he hears. When that doesn’t work, he goes to Fat Nyla, the one
some mean girls are out to get and a person who’s
in on his secret—he
can barely read. And then Maggie happens. For twenty-five years she’s
saved boys from their own bad choices. But she may not have time to save Hutch.
Alzheimer’s disease is steadily stealing her keen mind.
Tweet about it!
Bad grammar. Bad choices.

Struggling here. I’m in a slump, struggling to write anything at all, my direction in life in flux – or at a standstill, depending on how I look at it. I can see light at the end of this cave I’m standing in, but I don’t head toward it. Maybe my motivation has rolled under somebody’s sofa. Would you check under yours for me? I’ll even take the dust bunnies clinging to it.

New Feature at Untethered Realms
Untethered Realms, the awesome group of writers I'm honored to mingle with, has a new feature starting up on our blog. The first Friday of each month one of us will be posting about a book in the speculative fiction genre we found worth reading.
The book will be from outside of our group, something we'd like to share with you as readers. I hope you'll support this feature by stopping by and giving it your high five in a comment, and snagging the book to read if it sounds interesting. That way, you'll help the author out as well.

Happy reading!

IWSG and a Cover Reveal!
The Insecure Writer’s Support Group
Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance.

Where did May go? I think I blinked and it flew by. My
writing has taken a boost though, so I’m happy. Everything else is being
ignored but the muse is talking at a hundred miles an hour. I’m afraid to buy
her a muzzle. She would chew through it, then bite me.
And now for Carol Kilgore's Secrets of Honor cover reveal! Isn't it gorgeous?
By the end of a long evening working as a special set of
eyes for the presidential security detail, all Kat Marengo wants is to kick off
her shoes and stash two not-really-stolen rings in a secure spot. Plus, maybe
sleep with Dave Krizak. No, make that definitely
sleep with Dave Krizak. The next morning, she wishes her new top priorities
were so simple.
As an operative for a covert agency buried
in the depths of the Department of Homeland Security, Kat is asked to participate in a matter of life or
death—locate a kidnapped girl believed to be held in Corpus Christi, Texas. Since
the person doing the asking is the wife of the president and the girl is the
daughter of the first lady’s dearest friend, it’s hard to say no.
Kat and Dave quickly learn
the real stakes are higher than they or the first lady believed and will require
more than any of them bargained for.
The kicker? They have twenty-four hours to find the girl—or
the matter of life or death will become more than a possibility.
About Carol:
Carol writes
grocery lists, texts to her family, new lyrics to old songs for her dogs, love
notes to her husband, and novels for herself. And for you. In between, she
blogs weekly at Under the Tiki Hut and is active on Facebook and Twitter.
She sees
mystery and subterfuge everywhere. And she’s a sucker for a good love
story—especially ones with humor and mystery. Crime Fiction with a Kiss
gives her the latitude to mix and match throughout the broad mystery and
romance genres. Having flexibility makes her heart happy.
