April A to Z: The Letter H

Happy Wednesday! I'm a bit late posting this morning. Worked the late shift last night and when I got home I watched a program. So I was up pretty late. I learned of this amazing teen-age boy. Below I've shared a video he made prior to dying. But this has nothing to do with the letter 'H'. Although it could. Killer Stilettos is a lot about Lila's faith while she battles herself and other things.

Make sure you have some tissues handy.

.
Anyway, this year for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Challenge (couldn't get his link to come up) I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

There will be a giveaway at the end of this blog for the one who guesses the most correct answers. Someone will receive a copy of Secondhand Shoes either a paperback or one for their Kindle.

I wonder what this could be?

Hope everyone is doing well with this challenge. If anything, I'm terribly behind in reading blogs. Yesterday, I only made it to 5.

Hugs and chocolate, all!

April A to Z: The Letter F and G

Happy Tuesday, everyone! And welcome once again to my blog and to Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge. .

Today, I'm doubling up my letters since I got off track over the weekend. I even got off track with visiting blogs. Had a baby shower to give. That took up quite a bit of time. Yes. Life continues to happen even around a blog challenge.

Anyway, this year I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos. I will do a giveaway at the end. The person who guesses the most correct answers will get a signed copy of Secondhand Shoes or one for their Kindle

Okay. I'm giving this one to you.

For this one, I'll give you a clue. It's a name and it begins with 'G'.

Both pictures were borrowed from the internet.


Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: The Letter E

Happy Monday and welcome to my blog, and to Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.  I hope everyone had a restful weekend. Although, I did see that some peeps already posted their E and F. Did I do this wrong?

Also, Friday was VikLit's  Celebrate the Small Things. I totally forgot.

 

 

So, this week I celebrate 2 things. My garden I planted in a Jiffy tray. It sprouted. I planted cucumbers, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, peppers, chili peppers, and kale.

 

And with all the blogging and working, I've managed to tweak more of Killer Stilettos.

Anyway, for the blog challenge this year I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, the book I mentioned above.

There will be a giveaway at the end of this blog to the person who guesses the most correct answers. Someone will receive a copy of Secondhand Shoes either a paperback or one for their Kindle.

Hmmm...what in the world could this be? Remember it begins with he letter 'E'.

April A to Z: The Letter D

Welcome to my blog, and the Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge.

 Oh boy! Four days in now!

Can you believe while I was visiting some new blogs, I came across one where you had to be invited? What kind of stuff is that? Not to mention, there are a lot of long winded posters out there. And Blogger is being a Blooger again. Some peep's pages can't be found.

I hope I didn't sound too much like a Debbie Downer.

Anyway, how is everyone doing so far? I'm glad its Friday. Hoping to get caught up with these posts I'm putting together.

This year I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

There will be a giveaway at the end of this blog for someone who guesses the most correct answers. That someone will receive a copy of Secondhand Shoes in either a paperback or one for their Kindle.

So what is this wild looking-thang? ***brow waggle***

Have a great weekend, all! And have a peaceful Shabbats, if you practice!

Hugs and chocolate!

April A to Z: The Letter C

Welcome to my blog, and the the third day to Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge .

 Anyone hungover yet from this bog fest? I'm trying really hard to keep up with it. Work gets in the way. But it keeps me organized. If I had too much time on my hands, I probably would never get anything done.

This year I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos.

There will be a giveaway at the end of this blog for the one who guesses the most correct answers. Someone will receive a copy of Secondhand Shoes either a paperback or one for their Kindle.

In Killer Stilettos, I did some world building and creature creating. I hope someone names it correctly. I will tell you this. They lurk the world between the living and the astral plane. They smell like poop  and have no face. But they do have needle-like teeth.

So what name did I give this creature I pieced to together from myths, legends, and the paranormal world? Remember it begins with C.

April A to Z: The Letter B

Welcome to my blog, and my second post for Arlee Bird's April A to Z Blog Challenge. I hope everyone is having fun so far. Right now, I'm worried about getting around to other blogs. My iPhone doesn't always cooperate with my ability to comment.

This year I decided to post picture clues hinting at what is to come in my second book from the Lila's Journey Series, Killer Stilettos. The days I can't find something to correspond to the letter of that day I will post an eighties band music video.

There will be a giveaway at the end of this challenge for those who guess the most correct answers. Someone will receive a copy of Secondhand Shoes either a paperback or one for their Kindle. So far, Ida Chiavaro has the lead. Go, Ida! Go!

Wonder what this next pic is about?

Have fun everyone!

Hugs and chocolate!

26 Days of Crazy Coming Your Way

Hey! Guess what's coming to town in April again? Twenty-six days of  crazy blogging A to Z, skipping weekends. Arlee Bird is the creator.You pick the topic and theme. But I suggest you keep your posts short and turn off your captchas-those are the rudest things anyone ever made.

Go here if you want to sign up for the fun.

As for me, I haven't decided to join in or not. If  I do, my plan is to post one word per the alphabet with a picture. They will be clues to what you will find in my next novel, Killer Stilettos, the second book in Lila's Journey.

I'm still tweaking the dickens out of it.

A couple of Mondays ago I sent the first 300 words over to Mainewords for a critique, which by the way was truly helpful. So I'll be writing my 34th draft of chapter one soon. She's always looking for first chapters to critique and post on her blog. If interested click on the link above.

Also, I'm still playing with making my own covers. Here's one:

But its still not right. Practice makes better though. I'm hoping to prepare a post for next Monday on how to make a basic ebook cover. I'm not a wiz yet. I've already forgotten how to make my own Clip Art, and have to re-figure it out.

Before I go, here's a diddy from Killer Stilettos:

Cynthia’s green eyes flinted to the chair Vinny sat in. “There’s no way in hell that I’m going to pray his soul out of purgatory. Ever.”

Vinny chuckled and plucked petals from the rose. “She loves me. She loves me not.”

Hope you enjoyed. I'll be at the Salon most of this week so I'll be lurking the blog world from my iPhone.

Hugs and chocolate, all!
