I've been meaning to do a new blog post for awhile, but now I have a bunch of things to share. As those who have been reading ....And All Shall Fade To Black have seen, i have finally started working on a new story after more than a year. This doesn't mean that I've forgotten my other works, I have plans to finish them all, as time frees itself up. About a month ago I landed a job with the local newspaper, something i had initially applied for when I first got to town a decade ago. It's a thrill to be doing journalism again, it's also helped me deal with some social anxiety issues, including talking to people I don't know, especially since I have to call people on the phone or actually approach them for quotes and interviews.

In the meantime, Broken Prince, Mismatched Eyes was released as an ebook through Wayward ink, the amazon link can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Broken-Prince-Mismatched-Eyes-Mauritanian-ebook/dp/B017WXGBM8/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1454191356&sr=1-1

I created an author website with links to all of my ongoing projects : http://layladorine13.wix.com/layladorineauthor

And Desolation Angel, one of my first stories here on GA was picked up by Wayward Ink as well, in fact, they have also accepted for publication, Guitars 2, Roadhouse Reds, and the dirtbike story I never had the chance to place on GA. It's sometimes kinda surreal, to think someone enjoyed my work that much to want to publish so many pieces of it.

I wanted to do ...And All Shall Fade because it was a chance to work on something I could share 'in the process' again, and because the encouragement and support I received here was the only thing that made me dare show my writing to a publisher in the first place.

It's great to be back sharing stories on GA, and I hope some of you will consider supporting my Thunderclap campaign to better promote my author website, it's free to support it, just a click of the link and a choice of which social media to support-share through. https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/37020-guitars-broken-prince-n-more

I've also been writing short stories since I've been away, with one appearing in March's Mix and match anthology through Wayward ink and another that just got picked up by MLR press. I'm hopefully of being able to take part in one of GAs anthologies this year too as i finally feel like I've gotten my mojo back writing again.
