The Conrad Chronicles: Rebirth is now in print!

The fourth Conrad book, Rebirth, is now available for sale as a trade paperback through Lulu.com . I set it at a 10% discount, and Lulu usually has a 10% to 15% off coupon, so it is cheaper to buy it directly from Lulu than any other place. If you prefer shopping elsewhere, within the next 4 to 6 weeks, it will be available for order through book stores and on Amazon. I will let you know when that happens.

Meanwhile, enjoy a glance at the cover and the teaser for this novel.

Lucy Gloria Vasilis Lucas struggles to accept her new life. She no longer is seen as the daughter of Ambassador Arsilin Lucas, the child who witnessed her mother's murder, but is now valued as the daughter of Gloria of the House of Vasilis, a Conrad of the Light, and the Chosen One who is destined to defeat Xavier of the House of Baldemar. At the age of eighteen, Lucy has gone from living at Willow Manor on Earth to living aboard the space ship, the Galactic Falcon. Her life has gone from one of surviving the brutality of the adults around her to being presented with a universe full of options. The magnitude of these sudden changes has sent Lucy's mind into shock.

As Lucy adjusts to space living, and slowly accepts she is alive and not delusional, she finds herself trying to accept the concept of being a Conrad, a human able to control energy. In addition, she must get to know her Uncle Zeplan, an uncle she never knew existed until the day he rescued her off of Earth.

What's in your water?

This morning I read an article that had a link to a website that will tell you what contaminants your local water tested positive for and what you can do about it. The site does state that  most municipalities meet the legal standards, but that the legal standards doesn't always mean it is safe to drink. So if you have time, check out the EWG website and put in your zip code and see what is in your water.

The Busy Season . . .New Conrad Chronicle Coming Soon!

These past months have been very busy ones for me for several reasons, one of them that I have been at work writing.  With this I have great news. The Conrad Chronicles: Rebirth will be for sale by the end of this month (October). Just a few minutes ago I finished uploading the manuscript to my printer and order the proof copy. If the proof looks good (which I hope it will as this is the 8th time I've done this), I will hit the distribute button and Rebirth will be available as a paperback.

Meanwhile, I will finish working on the final edit of the 5th Conrad novel Regrets, which may follow this one in a few months, probably early 2020. At this time I'm also writing the 8th book in  the Conrad series, and am about 4/5ths done with that first draft.

Happy reading.

Last Day of July!

Well, if I blog today I will just make my quota of at least two blogs a month. So here it goes.

My writing has dropped to managing to pen out two to three scenes of book 8 of The Conrad Chronicles. I should be formatting book 4 and editing book 5 too, but other projects have taken over.

The big task has been emptying the spare room that has been used for a combination of arts and crafts, extra furniture, and linens. That room needs to be converted to a bedroom (more to come on that later), so a great task of juggling has been occurring (This is one reason that the wall needed to be added to the living.

Thanks to Craiglist I managed to score a great shelving cabinet unit. As a result all the dolls were moved to live inside it, while the stuffed animals that had been in the spare room migrated into the closet in my office where the dolls had been. Of course, this meant everyone need a bath, and their clothes needed washing too.

Now that the washing and shuffling of dolls and stuffies has transpired, the framed pictures and tubs of crafts are being sorted and relocated. A few items are not being given a home in a new tub, and those are going in the box for the yard sale we will have this Saturday.

So, as you can see, I've been very busy, the yard has been neglected and my writing only finds its way to paper when I flee the house and head to the coffee shop so I can't see any of the projects.

Two Months!

Well, I guess it has been more than two months since I have blogged. So much for my goal of at least twice a month. May and June just got away from me, consumed by both planned and unexpected events.

The end of April marked another birthday for me, and for it I took a day train ride to Mt. Hood to see the pear blossoms. While the train ride was nice and enjoyable, I didn't see as many tree blossoms as I wanted.

Pear Blossoms-April 2019

Heather Hobson Lewis-April 2019

May got devoured by a night class and my dog Fern getting sick, and then injured a week after she got well. She's fine now, except her weak leg acts up now and then causing her to whine and limp.

June exploded with a construction disaster, resulting in the hired worker being fired and Tom and I taking the entire month to undo the damage done. I'm glad to report that we are done now, and the mistakes the fired worker made have either been redone or hidden with molding. The whole experience was very disappointing, and makes me think of the old quote, "If you want something done right, do it yourself."

Needless to say, my writing ended up moving like a snail these past months, but I am slowly writing the first draft of book 8 of The Conrad Chronicles, though what I really need to do is finish formatting book 4 and editing book 5.

Happy Readings!
