Part of the reason that JC and I chose Oregon for a destination was that we could grow a lot of our own food.  Right after we bought the house, he planted two apple trees, two pear trees, three grape vines, and six blueberry bushes.  Then we ripped out about a fourth of the back yard lawn (we did this ourselves), and he built me a "bricked" veggie garden.  I love it.  This time of year is one of my favorites as we are planting and getting things going.

So . . . my mother called me from my folks' farm up in Washington State yesterday to tell me that she'd just finished reading The Mist-Torn Witches (I sent her one of my author's copies) and that she loved it.  She said, "This is the best thing you've written."  So, now, when people ask me if the book is good, I can honestly say, "Well . . . my mom liked it."  Bahahahahahahahaha!

Today . . . we are officially two weeks out from the release of The Mist-Torn Witches.  I am excited, and at the same time, my stomach is in knots.

Gosh, quiet week around here for the most part.  We're getting the garden ready for serious "veggie planting.  The apple trees have blossoms.  JC is working on a story for the Tales project, and I've been attempting to do some promotion work for The Mist-Torn Witches.



As the publishing industry changes, it's getting more and more difficult to get a new book "noticed."  My biggest worry is that the novel will be released on May 7th . . . and no one will know.

It has been a while (again) since the last update about “Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.” Both Barb and J.C. are working on new entries in this privately published project. Other work took precedence, such as J.C. updating our sites and social networking and etc., while Barb was working on the next volume in The Mist-Torn Witches series [working title: Witches in Red].

JC and I went to full time writing in 2007, and we moved from Colorado to Oregon almost immediately after.  The first year here was a bit rough, as we were in a strange place with no friends or family, and we had a house to remodel and a huge back yard to turn into a combination of vegetable garden and orchard.  



Five years later, we're still continuing both those projects.



But . . . we've also settled into a yearly writing cycle that has become second nature.  Around...
