Other news: Fun things "other" than writing and work: Recently I worked as a back ground actress (Extra) in a Lifetime movie called The Fab Five, whenever it comes out look for me. I was also in Final Destination 4 (extra)recently. At the country club scene where the light falls into the pool. The latest movie was I love you Phillip Morris, with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. It was not so much fun this time, worked till 3:30am..Yuck! I like to pick apart the dialogue roles in my head. True. What else? My short ghost story was on The Raven http://ravenhappyhour.com/ravenblog It was really fun for my family and friends and others to read it and reply to me. Thanks Mandy Roth and Michelle Pillow. SINCE THE PEN TO PRESS Retreat I've finished VOODOO TOUCH. It's a paranormal thriller with voodoo and hot romance. I can’t wait to share this story with you. Writing Events that I will be attending as of now: Heather Graham's Conference in September in New Orleans. Sherrilyn Kenyon's K-Con in October in New Orleans.
