Setting a new goal

Dani and I talked about how lazy we've been when it comes to blogging. Like everyone else, we've been trying to keep up with so many sites, such as our individual Facebook pages, our MySpace page, Twitter, etc. So, we sort of made an agreement. We will split the jobs. I got the website blog. Lucky me. (grin).

So here goes...

We've finally recovered from RT. We had a wonderful time, especially during the Faery Court Ball. That was a blast. Both of us are looking forward to doing it again next year. If you have time, check out some of the photos we've posted. Either at our website or on MySpace.

One of our works in progress is in its second draft. We're finding that as we go through it again, we're enjoying it more and more. Which is a good thing, I think. In most cases, once I've finished a book, I don't want to see it again. I'd rather move on to the next story. Ahem, wonder how many other writers out there feel the same as I do? Or they have someone like Dani that keeps them on track?

That's it for tonight. I'll keep it short. Hopefully I'll have other interesting things to write about. Until next time, stay happy, stay safe, and know someone cares about you.

Color of Dreams is out in print

Hurray, our book is out and for sale. Dani and I are thrilled. The cover is just as beautiful in print as it is online. Even the postman (Tia's) was impressed with the book and bought one. And...he is a man...Go Postmen! We're anxious to hear what he has to say about it...after he admits he actually read it. BIG GRIN

Dani and I are looking forward to the RT Conference, April 21-27. Actually, those are the dates we're going to be there. We're also going to part of the Faery Court. We've got our gowns, shoes, jewelry, etc., selected. The last thing to do is to figure out how to attach our wings. Dani's got her's nearly finished. I'm still drawing a blank. Hopefully, something will come to me before April 21st.

Another awesome thing we've accomplished. We have a book trailer on "Color of Dreams". Right now, you can only watch it on our MYSPACE page. Hopefully...like by next week...we'll get it up and running on our website as well.

Have a great week...what's left of it.
Tia

PS...Dani's out walking...getting thin for her gown. Smart girl! I'm going to look like a sausage in a green gown.

Our List is Getting Shorter

Hurray. We’re on a roll. Over the past month and a half, we’ve been a little lax with our blogging responsibilities. We’ve been hunkered down, going through the Color of Dreams galley. Final galley!!! YEAH!

Also we’ve been drumming our fingers, discussing, and designing what we’d like our new website to look like. We’re getting there. Slowly but surely. It’s been a long tedious process. We’d rather be writing but the business half of Tia Dani needed attention.

What makes our website so complicated is we’re both eclectic, each having different ideas, etc., and we want both our personalities to appear on the website. Should make it interesting. We hope.

Then, on top of all that, we’ve been working on two new stories:

One is another of our “Color of... ” books. This one takes place in a small Illinois town, where a hunky, laid-back county sheriff runs afoul with a recently young widow, determined to start a new life, in a new town, for herself, her four small children and two rambunctious pets. But when the sheriff and the widow have trouble seeing eye-to-eye, the entire town gets involved...along with our favorite high-priestess, Delphina, a faery godmother, and two mischievous brownies. The end result is hilarious and will give a sweet tug to your heart strings.

Our second book is a new genre, a paranormal mystery. The working title is Death Unseen. We’ll tell you more about this book in another blog since Dani keeps insisting we keep our blogs SHORT!!!

Here's a photo of us working... Notice how we dress up at work?



Until next time, stay well, stay happy, and live the good life.
Tia Dani

Need a Little Luck with Your Writing?

Sodalite is a gemstone that can help.

Sodalite is a rich blue stone with white veins.
Sodalite is extra lucky for writer. It is a stone of rational thinking and clarity. It also can be used to clear the clutter of distracting inner dialogue so important communication can happen between the conscious and super-conscious self. (In other words, your muse.)

Sodalite can help bring inner peace. Keep a sodalite in your pocket so its peaceful properties will continuously flow around you. Sodalite is associated with the throat and brow chakras. If you suddenly find yourself facing writer’s block, recline on the floor, place your indigo stone at the center of your brow. Relax and remain in the layout position for five to ten minutes. Repeat for a few days if necessary.

One of us is having a birthday.
Guess Who?




Nope.
Not Dani. But Dani wanted
to make her a cake.



♠
She wanted it to look like this.




But it turned out like this.





She wanted it have pretty candles.





But Dani was afraid it would look like this.

So...we ate Pie.

Happy Birthday Kris Tia!
