Here it is once again…

“For the past year I have been reading a lot of new authors on my Kindle, so instead of picking my favorite of my favorite, I wanted to pick from the books I have read during this past year. This I had to give some thought to, since I have read a lot of really great books on my kindle. So here is my list of favorites.”
It is Friday, finally, and I have the next book to tell you about on my List of my Favorite Top Ten Artists.

Two weeks ago at #10 was Winning Mr. Wrong by Marie Higgins

Last week in my #9 slot was A Modern Witch by Debora Geary

So which book is up next?

Deadly Intentions

By
Candice Poarch

She’s Hot On The Trail Of A Thief. . .

When Lisa Claxton starts her own cleaning business on Paradise Island, she may finally profit from her talent for whipping a house into shape–in more ways than one. A valuable Claxton heirloom, a golden bowl, is missing, and Lisa has tracked it down to a local home, which she quickly gets herself hired to clean. But when she arrives she finds a dead body–and flees right into the safe arms of an irresistibly handsome man. . .

But She’s About To Find So Much More. . .

Injured Navy SEAL Brian Knight came to his grandfather’s house to recuperate. He didn’t expect to be greeted by a frightened beauty–or to get mixed up in her scheme. But Brian has to pursue the killer who invaded the house–and he’s determined to pursue Lisa as well. Soon, the two are up against ruthless thieves whose intentions are more than deadly. . .

“What a great murder mystery romance novel. I don’t read books of this genre very often, but I really did enjoy this book.

The author, Candice Poarch, has a nice writing style making her story easy to read.

I tend to only read on my work breaks and this book did make it hard to go back to work. I just wanted to keep reading.

Now I will be going back in search of more books by this author, and I will look for her new ones in the future.

I received this book in a Member Giveaway on the Library Thing dot com.”

And if you haven’t read any of these books I have listed over the past few weeks, you really do need to check them out, they were all great books.

Labor Day is almost here and Road Salt is nowhere near being done. It seems like this story has been a little bit harder for me to write than Witch Book or Aaron and Keja had ever been. I have been writing at a turtle’s pace even though I need to get this story done.

Tonight I did add another 1k words to the story, making the story’s word count 15k. I guess a turtle’s pace is better than no pace at all.

At least the plot outline is done. Now it all comes down to fleshing out the characters and getting gritty with the story. Also, I am trying not to censure my writing, or at least not as much as my previous works.

It just all comes down to making myself write.

The hard part that is keeping me from writing:

World of Warcraft…

They are coming out with the next expansion. It is due to be released on September 25^th and I can’t wait. I am looking forward to creating a Panda monk and learning how to do a little bit of Kung-Fu in my gaming world.

So when I’m not gaming, I am writing and vice versa.

I started playing WOW back in 2008. That was when I had decided to write Aaron & Keja. In fact that is where I came up with the idea of civilizing the Orcs and Goblins and making the Elves something other than the good guys.

I liked writing the story with this fresh approach. Now when the next book comes out I will seek to steer away from Good vs. Evil. Instead I will use influences and choices along with temptation.

I think a strong plot for any story is better than a story about a character who goes through their entire life without any direction or meaning, good or bad.

Maybe the next Orgarlan Book will be infused with some good old fashion Karma as the events begin to take place.

Have a Great Holiday Weekend –
