Kaitlyn St. James Happening’s ~ February 2006

Since I’ve been ill I’ve had time to sit, think and plan. I've gone back and re-read Johannes. Cut a lot out of it and added a lot to. I’m having a great time building the society and world around my Guardians. I can clearly see it in my head and want to make sure I get ot all down on paper so that when it gets published (no dates yet I haven’t submitted it) it will draw you in. I’m digging into the story and the surprises keep on coming. There is a blurb and excerpt on the Kaitlyn St. James site for Johannes.

Since St. James Chronicle is a bi-monthly newsletter the January 2006 issue was actually a January /February 2006 issue. Sorry for any confusion I have corrected the newsletter to reflect this. The next issue will be March/April 2006. It will be posted sometime before the end of March. For now you can check out the January /February 2006 here.

Until next time, look for the unexpected!Kaitlyn St. James

A Month in the Writer’s Life ~ February 2006

This month’s A Month in the Writer’s Life (explanation on what this is here) is a little late. I’ve been under the weather and battling a nasty flu.February was a month of evelaution. I was to sick to do anything else except sit and think. Think of all the new possibilities waiting for me. With my reevaluation of my writing plans in January I know where I am going and how I will be getting there. My organization of the books I want to write this year and the time frame I want to complete them has helped me a lot.

Due to my being sick I didn’t get to send out the edits on Conquering Jazz althought they are done I didn’t get to mail them but I will by this weekend to early next week at the latest.

For now I’m working on Turning the Tables, the next Hamlin family & friends novel. I’ve gone back to what I have written and made changes that now make the story flow better. The story is shaping up to be another hot and emotional.

My plan to write books to help build my various families I have created is right on schudule. Stay tuned as I introduce you to them.I’m also working on a few things for my alter ego Kaitlyn St. James. In this blog I will give you a monthly run down about what is happening with Kaitlyn St. James under blog’s usually titled Kaitlyn St. James Happening’s. I’m still getting another blog ready for my alter ego Kaitlyn St. James which will have more in deapth posting from Kaitlyn.That’s all so far in my A Month in the Writer’s Life until next month.
