Monday Kickoff!

Posted on by

So here we are…Monday. Ugh. Is there anything worse than a Monday? Sunday night perhaps when you are lying in bed, thinking about how you wish it was Saturday night so you had one more day of the weekend.

Well lets see if we can’t get this week off to a good start shall we? I am celebrating the re-launch of my website. Isn’t it lovely? I think what better way to start a celebration than to give away a prize right? (Not to mention the fact that it would make Monday a cheery happy day too.) So today I will do a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to either Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Winners choice! All you have to do to win? Comment here on the blog to be entered into the drawing! I will choose the big winner at 6pm PST. Get busy commenting and have a great Monday!

 

New Direction Take Two

Posted on by

As in life, things are rarely perfect the first go around. Or we tend to change our minds, evolve, and realize that what we need is different than we first imagined. So is the case with my home here on the web. My site just didn’t feel like it fit ‘me’ anymore. Though it was lovely and worked when I first acquired it, what I wanted to project as my web presence changed. Now, thanks to Kim Killion and her very talented staff at Hot Damn Designs, I have this lovely new home that I feel is a better fit for the writer I am. I swear that Kim has a bit of magic fairy dust or possesses a certain fairy godmother gene…because she nailed what I wanted right out of the gate.

Speaking of fairy dust and fairy godmothers, next week I will have some fun things coming your way. One thing I’m willing to divulge is that I will be having the lovely Rebekah Purdy here to help celebrate my new look and her new release The Fairy Godmother Files. Yay! It is a fantastic young adult book that I just can’t wait to share with you! I might just try my hand at a little fairy dust and see what I can whip up for a giveaway or two so definitely come back by!

New Year, New Direction

Posted on by

This is the year I make some serious changes for my writing career. First off, you will see that I no longer have a blog per-se, but rather this is now a News page where I will keep you updated on the what’s what in the world of Moira. Blogging, while beneficial to many, takes time away from writing. I would rather update you with something pertinent to my career and other bits of news relating to things I think you’d be interested in. Contests, happenings around the web, any shenanigans my critique group has going on. etc. To me, this would be far more interesting than the random ramblings that I often tend to post.

With that, I am so thrilled to announce that Blood & Moonlight is in the hands of an editor. Once I see how much work is needed and the brilliance my editor shines down on my manuscript, then it will be cover time while I work through edits. Oh yes, this baby is going to see the light of day but I’m not skimping on the little things. There will be much more to come as I begin to work on a new series as well. Lots to come in this new year. Be on the lookout!
