Karate Tournament

Today my boys are competing at a National karate tournament, so we've been in karate mode for several weeks. My boys have been karate practicing fools. The living room furniture has been shoved against the walls for the most part of the month. This happens 3 times a year where my living room turns into a dojo. Both are black belts in karate, the oldest a 3rd degree, my youngest a 1st degree and both are 2008 World Champions. So, they’re goal is to become World Champions again for 2009. LOL At least they have high aspirations and they work hard for it! I’m always a weensy bit nervous because I hate to see them not achieve their dreams or goals, but I also realistically know they cannot always be winners. :-/

An update on my book I mentioned that had been accepted. The contract has been signed and mailed back to the publisher. It also has been renamed from Bloodlines to Elfin Blood. Now, the edits will begin. *bites nails nervously*

I hope everyone has a very naughty weekend! ;-)

Happy 4th and Whee!!!!!

My book, Bloodlines, that I submitted recently, was accepted by the e-publisher!!! Woohoo!! I’m bouncing off the walls with excitement! It’s a paranormal romance, my favorite topic to write and read about. I’ll keep you all updated as I receive more information.

Happy July 4th to all the Americans! I thought I’d give you a few fun facts:

1. There are 30 places throughout the United States of American with the word “liberty” in its name. That’s a lot of Libertys. Iowa has more of these “liberty” places than any other state. Do you know the four cities in Iowa? They are Libertyville, New Liberty, North Liberty and West Liberty.

2. There are 11 places with the word “independence” in its name.

3. There are five with the word “America” in its name.

How many of you are planning on attending a Bar-B-Q? I’d love to hear any plans you have!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe July 4th!
