Well, yesterday was the radio program, if you missed it you can check it out in the archives at http://internetvoicesradio.com/Arch-DragonsDen.htm. Click play on the March 4th player. The program went well. Peggy Roberts, the editor-in-chief and CFO of Firedrakes Weyr Publishing, and I talked about reviews and editing tips. I also discussed my upcoming release, Melody of Love, as well as my work in progress. Take a listen to it and let me know what you think.

Construction on my website is continuing. I now have a My Books page up where you can get more information on my works in progress as well as Melody of Love. It still needs tweaked, but it's looking good so far. =)

Speaking of my works in progress, I have been progressing forward with my current project even though it is going slow. This beginning is leaving me a little frustrated since it feels to be going so slow and even though I've written about the characters before and know about them, getting into their heads is challenging. Then again, I tend to feel a little bit of frustration during the beginning chapters. For me, I have to just charge forward until I have a better handle on the characters since I don't focus too much on character profiles beforehand. I go into the story with basic information and an idea of them in my head, which is sometimes tossed aside by my characters within the first few pages, especially in the case of AF much to my chagrin.

That's all for now. =)
