About Me and my blog

My Photo
I am a lover of books - from classics to steampunk and everything in between. Plus, I'm in pursuit of making my full-time passion more than a part-time gig. This blog is to share about all things reading, writing, movies, TV shows, publication - I think you get the drift. I'll even share the ups and downs of my own journey. If you don't like any of these things, I appreciate your visit, but sadly say you've come to the wrong spot. If just one of these topics tickle your fancy, then please pull up a chair (be a follower of my blog), talk to me and others here (leave a comment) and know that you are always welcome.

Update for A to Z bloggy lovers

So I've been ever so touched by the comments and encouragement from everyone who's had a chance to follow along on this blog opera and drama with Abby and Basil.  This started as just my theme for the A to Z blogging challenge.  It has grown into something I really enjoy, characters I love, particularly one I love to hate, and a story that - per Raelyn - needs to be in novel format and available like...yesterday :-)

I'm so humbled and yes, I intend to move forward with transforming these letters into a novel, or at least a novella.

For those interested in reading each A to Z post from the beginning, I've set up a page with the links to each story, all in one place.  I'll keep it up to date as each letter publishes.

Thanks again everyone.  In case you want the link to the page as well, here it is: http://publishness.blogspot.com/p/abby-and-basil-a-to-z-blog-opera.html

  2. That's a great idea, Angela. I've been following several A-Z posts that would make for a great book. I can't wait to see what results from some of them. :)

  4. I'm glad you did that because it's hard to stay focused on a running novel. I'd like to read it all in a sitting.

  10. This has been fun Angela. It's like the Sherlock Holmes installments in the newspapers back in the day. Maybe you've started a new trend from the old one. Too much fun!
