Overbooked and Overjoyed

The past few days have been a blur. Anyone who follows me on Twitter or Facebook knows I unintentionally overextended myself this week. Different projects--two of them friend related, three of them work related--popped up and needed to be done this week. All of them involve writing and all are important. But it's all good. Great, even.

I'm still working on the 'friend' projects. Hope to wrap those Saturday. Tuesday I tackled desperately late updates for my website and sent those to my web designer. Thank goodness she's a dynamo. As of today those updates are live. Please click here to see what critics are saying about my April release OUT OF EDEN. To say I'm over the moon is an understatement. Also, bonus, we posted an excerpt so you can get a glimpse into this quirky, sexy mystery!

Where was I? Oh, yes. Projects. I finished revisions on INTO THE WILD (Sept. 2010) this past weekend. My editor, also a dynamo, told me to expect line edits this week. I'm thinking they'll come today or tomorrow with a quick turn around.

Meanwhile, I still have those two friend projects to finish...

Lastly, I think, I needed to update the SIS blog. Why? Because we have a new member joing the fold! Brace yourself. It's a man! Our honorary BRO, Krys, aka Chris Behrens. Krys has been a frequent visitor and commentor for awhile. He guest blogged last week. He's been a friend of Bren and Barb's for eons. We thought it would be a hoot to add a 'guy' element to SIS and Krys is a perfect fit! Please tune in tomorrow for his launch blog post and follow him here every Saturday.

Since Barb and Bren know Krys so well, I asked them to write up a short intro. Here we go.....


From SIS Barb/Elle...
Recently, someone told me I've know Krys for about 17 years. I had no idea it was that long. Granted, we may have lost touch for a few of those, but I always knew we would reconnect. I can thank Krys for that. He found me.

I met Krys when I was what some would call young and dumb, but from the onset he treated me with respect and kindness. I'll admit, there were times when I took our friendship for granted, but a few years and many life lessons taught me that he is the type of friend that should be cherished. Our friendship will last a lifetime.

Everyone here is going to love Krys. He's incredibly intelligent, funny and never afraid to be honest. What you see, or in this case, what you read, is what you get. Krys is one person who I can always count on to be genuine!

Welcome aboard, Krys. I am proud to have you as my honorary BRO!


From SIS Bren...
Krys has been a friend of mine (and Barb's) for somewhere around 17 years. We met one night while I was singing in a club in Clearwater and became fast friends. We have seen each other at our best and worst (ask him about his keys in his socks) and had conversations about anything and everything including tarantulas (not mine, his) suicide, cemeteries, and even love. He is an incredibly bright, humorous, and interesting person and even when we haven't talked for months and months, we always pick up right where we left off...which is usually insulting each other in the most loving way. I have greatly enjoyed his contributions here at SIS and am so excited to include him as our honorary brother. We hope you'll stop by on Saturdays to read what Krys has on his very complicated mind!

There you have it! How can you NOT stop by here every Saturday?

Peace and joy, Cyber Sistas!
