We’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of the Healthy Writer blog, and in celebration we’ve expanded to a full site and given it all a new, spiffy look. Come on by and check it out.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on revising Coven, my paranormal YA. Today was dedicated to beginning work on synopses on books 2 and 3 of what I hope will be a trilogy. World building is fun but tiring. It’s off being read by the wonderful, fabulous, incredible Mary now.

Remember when summer was a wasteland as far as TV went? Granted, I’m TiVoing fewer shows in the summer, but there are still some. Foremost is Deadliest Catch, which is sadly gripping this season because the episodes are leading up to the death of Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie. Last week’s episode showed when he had his stroke, and the next few episodes cover the couple of weeks between that and when he passed away. Still doesn’t seem real even though it happened in February.

I’m also watching the latest season of Burn Notice (love Michael, Fiona and Sam, and new guy Jesse) and a new show called The Gates. Anyone watching this one? It’s like Desperate Housewives meets Eureka meets True Blood.

I got a review from a YA book blogger this week that has had me smiling ever since I read it. Jami over at YA Book Addict wrote the type of review of my August book, Winter Longing, that every author dreams of getting. We want to touch people with our writing, and Jami says in her review that Winter Longing did exactly that for her. I’m thrilled! Check out her awesome review here.

My weekly online read is still going on over at eHarlequin. Chapter 4 goes up in the morning, so you can see what happens to Callum and Madison next — or get caught up with the first four chapters if you haven’t read them yet. Check out Her Unexpected Cowboy here.

I’m having a book trailer made for Winter Longing, and I hope to have it up for viewing soon. Stay tuned!
