I have some really big new for you guys, but I need to begin this post with an apology. I've been a very bad blogger lately, and I know it. :( Between work, trying to finish my current WIP before the kids get out of school, helping my mom, and spending a solid week of 8- to 10-hour days on a big editing job, I've neglected my friends. You didn't deserve that, and I'm sorry. I'll try to be a better blogger in the future. What's the big news? My mom is officially a published author! :D

It's time for another Promo Friday! This month, I'm featuring YA writer Bethany Averie , an author I met at the Writespace Valentine's day event here in Houston. Bethany is super nice, and the excerpt she read was interesting and funny. It definitely made me want to read her books. Bethany is celebrating a new release:   Immortal Love , the last book in the Immortal Dreams trilogy. Congratulations, Bethany! You can find Immortal Love here: Amazon Kindle Thanks for visiting. :) Remember: the next Promo Friday is scheduled for May 8th. Deadline for submitting content is Wednesday, May 6th.   ( Promo Friday is a monthly service I provide to my followers. ) 

It's a SCAVENGER HUNT!  Comment to win an autographed copy of Dragon of the Stars , tons of bookmarks & postcards, and a $20.00 iTunes gift card–where is Mini-Alex?  Visit Alex for a list of the participants. (Open through April 11 – winner announced April 13 at Alex’s blog.)

I always run for cover in April, but I'm skipping IWSG this month, too. I'm getting very close to 'The End' of my next book. Thanks for visiting. See you soon. :)

One of the best things about blogging is getting to celebrate the success of a super-nice and deserving writing friend. I'm happy-dancing over here, because I get to participate in the cover reveal of Nick Wilford's upcoming release, A Change of Mind and Other Stories .  Congratulations, Nick! :D

I've got some goodies for you! :) Author-, designer- and marketer extraordinaire Carrie Butler released Loyalty , the last book in her Mark of Nexus series this past weekend. She also released the boxed set, which is a steal at only $6.99! These award-winning, flawlessly written books have everything--suspense, romance, humor (definitely humor!). If you haven't read MoN, you're missing out. ;) 

This is my Insecure Writers Support Group post for March. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month are: Chemist Ken, Suzanne Sapseed,   and Shannon Lawrence! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .    Last time IWSG met, I was facing the first public appearance of my writing career. Well, I made it through. I won't say it was with flying colors, but I didn't totally bomb either.
