In The Event Of This Post, I Must Be Dead...Oh Wait...

If you are reading this, it means I died in the Mayan Apocalypse. If that's the case, I'm probably not going to write any more blogs past this one -- or am I?  

This is in effect my last will and testimate.  I swear on a book of bibles that I'm sane, sound and whole. As one can be during their last day on Earth. 

 

Donald--Take good care of Emma.  I love you.

Emma--Take good care of Donald.  I love you.

Momma--All's been said on my part.  I'm pretty sure all's been said on your part.  Oh, and Luke's Tale is all set to go in Amazon, all you have to do is push the publish button. I love you.

Daddy--I hope one day you learn that having control over anything but your own actions is a lie.  I love you.

Rett--I'm so proud of you!  I think you hide too much so I'm just gonna say who gives a fuck what they think of you.  I felt better when I told mom and dad to screw off with their opinions--I don't care what they think--maybe you should do the same, and believe in it. Still, I respect what dignity you try to collect.  I love you.

Lauren--You're the best of all of us. Beauty, good looks, brains, heart stopping face, awesome head on your shoulders, gorgeous body--get the picture?  I love you.

Diesel--Chin up, man.  What's winning when there's no challenge?  Great, Kid--don't get cocky.  You have a wish coin -- See Slater's.  I love you.

Slater--You're my hero.  I love you.  Come get your birthday coins on my desk.  Grandma knows what I'm talking about.  There's one for you and one for your brother.  They grant one wish.  Rules are: 1) Do not wish anyone to come back from the dead.  Corpses rising is just gross.  2) Do not wish for anyone to fall in love with you.  That bends free will too much.  3) Do not ask for anyone killed.  I won't do it.  Make sure you're asking for something that will not cause another harm, or bend the laws of physics.  I'm not that good at science.

Bob--Sometimes, when you talk or make a joke or recite a movie quote, and you think no one's listening, I am.  You make me laugh.  I love you.

Lorie--I always wished you could see yourself through my eyes.  Your beautiful, strong and fierce like a mother bear.  I love you.

Alley--You're just like your dad.  Just female--see his note.  I love you.

Sam--You can tell them I was the one who slipped you cookies under the table.  I think it's a moot point now.  I love you.

Lee--You and Mal were always an inspiration.  Watching your loss, parent Lindsey, move away from my ancestral home to Floriday (not a typo, that's what I call that state).  All that was pure lion strength love.  I love you.

Mal--Your frightening you know that?  Stoic determination has a picture of you on it's wall of hero's.  But you'll always be my magician.  I love you.  

Lindsey--You're made of awesome sauce! You've been inspiration incarnate. I love you.

Frances--You were always such fun to talk to.  You're also wise as a crone but pretty as a young maid!  Thanks for putting up with me :) You give good advice.  I love you.

David--You're energy was always so boundless.  I liked being near you because of it.  You should also see my Daddy's note.  I love you.

Coleson--Dude!  I'm so going to kick your butt at chess when you get here.  I'll have decades on you.  Also, don't sell yourself short but don't get cocky.  I love you.

Ivy--Hey beautiful!  Don't let anyone push you around.  That's an order! :)  I love you.

Grandpa BD--See momma's note.  I love you.

Carolyn--I may have found you more interesting than you me, still I love you.

Tracy--You & Kevin are there on my mind. I'm so happy you're happy! I love you all.

Jesse/Ryan--Yeah, you don't know me well, but I think of you guys and think you two are super awesome. I love you.

Pam--We're good.  Just don't make me work for you.  I love you.

Josh--Anything I put here your going to make a joke about so laugh at this--I love you.  Yes, we're good.  I hope you laugh at me.

If I've forgotten you, know--I still love you.
 

Always look on the bright side of life...

 

Does that mean I should look at the dark side of death?  

Oh...wait...so if the world ends no one will see this? Dang! That means I'll be alive!

 

November Is Over People!

How'd you do? Did you participate in NaNoWriMo? I wrote like the wind, but I didn't catalog it. It's difficult to catalog numbers when you go from story to story. 

I love my life!  I'm working on a series with my mom. It's hush, hush so I can't say anything about it. But I was able to get her to write so it's all good! 

I've got my shorts-off series that let's me dive into hot topics. Both hot and HOT. 

I have two novels working Title TRIAD and Dr. Vampyre. Princess Bitch, I Thee Wed is still a concept, but I'm getting there. And that's just the stuff under my name. Life is good!

The Road To Publication

So...I started a new company. Yeah, just like that.

I'm selling bridges...I've got one in London...

<-- This logo--it's from fiverr. Can you tell?  But, it's better than I could do! 

So if your curious about the new Publication house, here's the story:

I had a critique partner that had this really fantastic story. She wanted to go traditional. I was so enamored with her story--it was about vampires and druggies. It never got published. That made me both angry and sad. 

I had more critique partners with amazing stories that never got published. My own mother's story wasn't selling to agents. Finally, I said there is nothing I can't do that they can. I want this. 

Now, when I want something and it's the right thing to do, it's easy in the beginning. The things I want just come. The direction I'm suppose to take is like water--the path of least resistance. Or maybe the path I take isn't difficult because I don't see the difficulty. I research. I wait. I roll smoothly into said goal and take it. Is it easy? My mutant power is making life look easy--it is in a way. 

So what made me truly decide was Indie publishing. I wanted to own it ALL. It's exciting to choose the book covers, make the calls, pretend I'm a real publisher! I'm not afraid because the authors I have behind me have the same vision I do. I'm proud of my authors, those that chose to accept my offer of publication and see what I can do with great stories. 

I'm untried but I don't care. Learning is the road to Indie publishing. I can't wait to say I've published my 1st novel. My 100th novel. My first series. My tenth series. Prolific is one of the words you can put on my grave stone. I'm going to purchase 1,000 ISBN's and I will use every last one of them for me and my authors. 

Troll River Publications Believes in its Authors. We believe in their writing style, their word choice, their story, their concepts. Troll River is a partner, and hopefully will soon be a guide. I couldn't be more pleased if one of my authors goes on to be in on the Big 6. That would be accomplishment. But for now, I'd like to see where it goes! This company is a long time coming. I wonder what sights it will take me down.
