Gothic Novels

Cats: Uncategorized| No Comments »

I like the new type of Gothic Novels. Leslie is trying to pitch one now that has sexual tension, but no perversion. It is a great ‘beauty and the beast’ style story without following the template.  Her book, Mark of the  Monster, is on my list of ‘to read’ - as soon as it is out.

Leslie gave me a sneak peak. I just love books that torture the hero.

 The hero believes he murdered a woman in the past, sees visions of it. He is physically scarred on his face from the event. But can’t remember it fully and so doesn’t knnow what actually happened.

Can you remember when all romance authors worked hard to torturn the hero, both physically and emotionally. They made the best stories. :)

 

Payday Loan

Cats: Uncategorized| No Comments »

I use to know three girls who used payday loans. They wanted their wage money 3 days early and didn’t mind the fee.  They used the Payday Loans on a regular basis.  It is easy to get your payday money now, right now. Just go online and fill out the form. Then it is put into your bank account.

These girls were not careless, they just loved to do things spontaniously. The site is secure, and in the three years I knew them, none ever complained that the company didn’t give them their money - or were agressive when it came time for repayment.

Unfortuantely, some of the best shows are through the week - not on the weekend. The extra money came in handy for tickets, or a night out with friends.  Life doesn’t always work on a seven day schedule. That is an old, out of date, working habit.

House Cleaning

I use to run a big house cleaning company in the city. I enjoyed it. At the peak we had three teams and cleaned high-end homes. It was challenging, but we did very well until the economy fell through and most of the big businesses moved to a larger city.

I didn’t know what to do next. There were not a lot of opportunities in our area. I think I fell into the life of a writer. I use to enjoy writing for fun. I never thought abut getting apid to write, or being published. I just wanted to write. I sometimes wrote just because I needed to tell stories. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been chatting with Leslie Dicken today. She is excited because her book came out just this week, A Tarnished Heart. I designed the cover for it. I’ve read the book and it is one of the better ‘character’ stories I’ve read in a long time. Read the rest of this entry »

My Son’s First Car Loan

Cats: Uncategorized| No Comments »

I live in the country. We cannot live without cars. My son is looking for his first car. It amazes me how life changes. My son is looking for Car Loans  and is not too happy. He has to go on the web because he cannot make it to a bank, and the car lots only work with 1 or 2 financers.

He needs a car because he’ll be going to college in a year.  I have been encouraging him to look around. He is already seeing that there are more variables in Auto Loans . He asked ‘why’ and I just laughted. I can’t explain why one loan is $20 cheaper a month, or has less fees.

Of course, I’ve been suggesting places for him to look. He already knows about phishing, but I just want to make sure. I found the completeloansource to be a good site. It is a big move for a young man. I am not sure I want my son to grow up so fast.

My friend Mirella Patzer was telling me yesterday that she’s been selling about 1 - 3 copies of her book every time she leaves the home. She carries copies in her purse and just talks up her books.  Of course, she is active in the community. She’s a member of the Red Hat society - it sounds fun.

I am not active, but she is motivating me to get out more. She has so much fun. I’ve wondered a few times how she can feel so comfortable telling everyone about her book.  She also sells her book off her website using paypal. She says it works better than using the Amazon box. http://mirellapatzer.com/
