The One with Hobby Camp!
Fall Hobby Camp was this week (Mon-Thurs), and I had such a good time with the other ladies (especially my Mom, Aunt Denise, and my friends). I also sewed for the first time in a long time. Read on to hear how it went.
This month's banner feature's Kalista and Chaos at a Halloween/Birthday bash for Kalista.
Also featuring Elsinore in the background in the coffin.
Author's Life:
This week, started with me packing up for camp on Sunday after finishing a couple more episodes of my friend’s book. I have one more two-part episode before I finish. At camp Monday, I packed all the books before noon, plus beaded a couple dozen pens, and decided to pull out my fabric tote. I found a few projects I had set aside that I hadn’t gotten done: A pillowcase for myself, a winter curtain for our front door, and a quilt plus matching pillowcase for Dale all in the matter of three days. The Quilt has been sent with a friend who has a long arm to be quilted, then I’ll meet up with her to get it back and do the binding.
Thursday, I edited a chapter of Cookies & Rage before helping my Aunt Denise pack up her stuff and we both left after lunch. Then yesterday was errands and my monthly Chiropractor appointment, which I needed after lifting all the heavy craft things.
The work Life:
Writing:
This week, I didn’t write a word of anything that will be published. I did write about 1200 words in two documents, but they were just starts of "short stories" that I wasn't sure about. So, they'll probably sit in a folder and not be used until a later date, if they ever get used. I'm feeling like I want to write, but not knowing what to write or wanting to write what I should be writing. It sucks.
Total word count for the week: 1,200-ish words
Editing:
Maxine’s still working through DEADLY SIRENS…
I’ve managed to get up to Chapter 6 of Cookies & Rage, and I finished the first edit/listen through of An Angel Enraged (Kalista, Book 7).
And up to Episode 5 of The Graduates by AJ Sims, which is a sort of sequel to his fantasy duology A Warrior's Code & A Warrior's Code 2: Displaced in Shadow. If you like Fantasy books with elves, dwarfs, and magic which will lead into a sci-fi series, you'll love these books!

Kalista faces her greatest challenge yet, protect both her sister and her pregnant best friend from her soul enemy...
Art Feature:
This week’s art is another piece from An Angel Falls that was one of my favorites. We have Kalista with her hands on the table in a “power pose” which I realize she does a lot while talking to or interrogating someone. It comes from Chapter 22, and I’ll give you a tiny snippet excluding the name of the one being interrogated so that there are no spoilers.
From Chapter 22 of An Angel Falls
“(Redacted), this is your first and only chance to come clean.” She stared at the table, refusing to meet my eyes. “Lie to me, and I can’t help you out of whatever deal you’ve made with the Master.”
“I don’t want out of my deal, Akramatha (Traitor (female),” she spat, butchering the pronunciation. I’d caught her. She just admitted that she had a contract with him.
“One of the stipulations was that you don’t speak to me or at least don’t hand me information.” She shifted, and I set my hands flat on the table. “What I’m unsure of is your motivation. Why would you make (redacted) the target of an Angel of Death?”
