booksigning – Page 2 – Linda Nelson

During the last round of Round of Words in 80 days I never really made any of my goals consistently.

First I tried to blog more, but that got in the way of my regular writing time.

Then there was the inspirational post about keeping a log about what our daily activities are throughout a day. This was to help us discover if there was any where one could become more efficient in their daily writing activities.

What I discovered was I was doing more blogging, but less writing and not setting aside any time for the other things I like to do in my daily life.

So for the new goals this round I will include the things that I like to do besides writing. Hopefully I will be able to find some kind of consistency with not just my writing. That means I now need to set aside time for knitting mittens and hats for my grand-daughter for Christmas. And then there is my other favorite thing to do – World of Warcraft.

Blizzard Entertainment just released a new expansion for World of Warcraft. I now have a Panda Monk named Musuu. I love that panda. It is kick ass with round house kicks and fists of fury. So I have to be able to find time to play this game too, maybe a minimum of three nights a week and one day on the weekend.

Knitting will be for only an hour or two a night. The rest of my time I will try to dedicate to writing.

Blogging will become limited to three nights a week instead of everyday.

Fridays will still be set aside to recap my favorite books of this past year.

If I can write a minimum of 500 words a week, that would be good for me.
Maximum word count will be set at 5k in a day. (But if the muse takes over, I promise not to argue with it.)
Post on Facebook at least once a week.
Post on Twitter at least once a week.

Hopefully I will be able to finish up Road Salt before NaNoWriMo happens next month.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention the Book Signing Event – I will be hosting my very first local book signing this Saturday at The Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough, New Hampshire. I will be there with my friend, Linda Kepner.

<- See previous post for more information about this event.

I’m excited and nervous. But I am sure it will be fun.

Announcing… Linda Kepner and Linda Nelson will be visiting The Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough, NH on October 6, 2012 to discuss and sign their newly released books.

That’s right, my friend and I will be doing a local book signing next weekend. We will be at the bookstore at 11am until – I’m not sure when – I think maybe noonish.

This is a pretty exciting time for me. I have never done a book signing before. My good friend Linda Kepner talked me into it. She said, “How about we do this together? What do you think about Linda’s in stereo.”

We laughed about it and I had to agree. She had a great idea.

I’m the shy type and I have never done public speaking before, so I am of nervous.

This is my friend Linda Kepner – she has a new historical romance out called Second Chance, which is published with Crimson Romance. It is set in the 60’s time period. I already read this book and it was great. The story is about a graduate student, Bishou Howard, who is to tutor a very controversial wealthy tobacco widower during a time period when women were not known to be college professors. The two characters take more than a liking to each other but is it just loneliness for him or is it real love. You will need to read the book to find out.

She also has a couple of fantasy books out as well. Look for

The book I will be promoting is my newest release, Witch Book. It is the second book in my Orgarlan Saga. This book is a stand-alone sequel so it will not really matter if you read book one or book two first. Book one was Aaron & Keja. Both books were published with CreateSpace.

I’m not sure which book is my favorite out of the two of them. I kind of really like them both. This is my dream world and I had fun creating it. In this series you will find the roles of the fantasy races switched. I made the Orcs civilized and the good guys while I made the Elves the bad guys. The humans in this world are the minorities and they are not treated very well by the other races.

Also in Aaron and Keja, the main character – Aaron can talk to animals. She is known in the world of Orgarlan as a beast master.

In Witch Book, we have three human cousins who are living with and learning magic from their Aunt Grecha. Monica just wants to learn magic and be very good at it. She is the aunt’s favorite pupil. Wenda was happy to learn the magic that she has learned from their aunt. She is leaning towards becoming a beast master just like Aaron. Then there is Darmin. She is a wicked, wicked girl who can’t understand why Aunt Grecha doesn’t like her. Her goal in life is to be as strong as if not better than Lord Ky’debaul and sets out to try to become his bride.

Darmin’s biggest problem with Ky’debaul – he hates humans with a passion.
