Bri, thank you so much for hosting me on yourblog.  I am so excited to start the blogtour of my second novel Raven's Songon your site.  I really get a kick out ofseeing you at different book events and following your posts on face book. Youhave so much energy and enthusiasm for the craft.  Sometimes I wonder where you find the energyto do all the things you do.  One ofthese days we will have to sit down to coffee and I will spend a few hourssiphoning out your secrets. (Fab Lucinda, congrats. I'd love to sit down and shoot the breeze.)


Let meintroduce myself to your followers.  Myname is Lucinda Moebius and I am a Science Fiction and Fantasy author.  My first novel Echoes of Savanna was released in August of 2010.  My second novel Raven's Song was released January 2012.  These are the first two books in a five bookseries subtitled The Haven Series.  I have been a reader since birth (maybe evensince conception since my mother read to all of her children all of our livesand she was reading to my brother and sister before I was born).  I am the third of eight children and mymother read to us in a house full of stories. It became a natural extension of who I am to become a story-tellermyself.  I love to create characters andsee them come to life under my fingers.
I havemany stories to tell but right now I am focusing on the Haven Series.  The concept for these novels started in aHigh School Creative writing class.  I was teaching my students how towrite short stories and we were all writing together.  I happened to findan article on the Internet about the use of Animal DNA and stem cells to repairhuman genes.  This concept fascinated me and I started to develop acharacter based on this idea.  The story started to build from there and Ispent the next three years researching ideas.  In the end, one characterdeveloped into a five novel series I call "The Generation Novels".  Eachnovel covers twenty years of one person's life. In other words: one generation. There is more information on these novels on my website: www.lucindamoebius.com.
I'mextremely excited to introduce a new section to my website.  I'm inviting authors ofall skill levels to submit their original, unpublished work as part of awriting workshop community.  This is acall out for writers to submit poems, short stories and excerpts from novels tothe Story Time section of my website.  Oncethe manuscript has been reviewed the writer will receive a response from ourpublication team.  All submitted workmust be appropriate for all audiences. Work will not be edited for content or grammar and will be posted asis.  The reason I am doing this isbecause I want to create a learning workshop. The work will be critiqued and the writer will receive feedback fromother writers and readers of literature.  This will give the writer the opportunity toreflect and improve upon the work.  Myhope is to develop a community of writers who support each other and help usall improve our writing.
Thank you again for inviting me to post on yourblog.  I am looking forward to seeing thetalent of the amazing writers we have out there in the community.  
Again, congrats Lucinda. I think that's fabulous to create a community. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for answering my guest post call.
