No power! Yes, it is that time of year where we can not rely on electricity. Tonight's reason for the power outage is because we had cold, high winds come over the mountains. The leaves that clung to the alder trees were no match for the speed of the wind and sailed through the air to cover the forest floor...and our trucks, the decks, our big St. Bernard mutt. The rain came next in great downpours that created little streams down the side of the mountain. The water turned our very steep, long, driveway into a muddy mess. The top 100 ft of driveway is so steep that gravel doesn't "stick" to the dirt and during the winter it is impossible to get up unless you have a 4 wheel drive. When it snows, even that doesn't get you up and we rely on the quad, which we have snow chains for, to get us up and down the hill. Our creek is rising fast. Any day it will flood the banks, spread, and turn into a raging river with white caps and log jams.

Tuesday Catchup
I received a google alert last night. Biker Babe in Black is now available on Amazon for the Kindle. Actually, when I looked, it was up, but the buy button wasn't there for those in the United States. Keep an eye out for it though, should be available on Amazon any day. This will also be a good sign that it will hit all the other third party stores soon. I'm excited! That's more fans for The Chromes and Wheels Gang. ;-)

Let's welcome in November!
It's the beginning of November! The month that has a lot of things happening. People are gearing up for the holidays, buckling down for the winter, and on their last leg to get the end of the year obligations done. For writers, you might see November as the beginning of NaNoWriMo National Novel Writing Month

Tuesday Catchup
This last week ended nicely. Goals I set for myself were met, and now on to other things. I love starting a new story. There is something so exciting about finding love for two characters that you've dreamed up. You can have them be anyone you want, give them conflicts so horrid that it seems impossible to overcome. It's powerful and one of the few things in life that you can mold exactly into the shape you want. And, when it is all done, you've given others hope, a smile, and maybe a chuckle or two.

Turned in another one
I turned in a romantic suspense to my editor. Now the waiting game starts to find out if it is something they will like.
