Welcome to my new author's blog - I'm so glad you found me. Most of you know me as Lady Gwen, from Run Gwen Run! Write Gwen Write!
If you followed me from Run Gwen, Run! then you know I busted out a move and I'm glad you joined me!
Let me explain:
When I started my blog in 2009, it was to find and give support to those who were trying to live a healthier lifestyle through exercise and healthy eating.
Little did I know that I'd find a whole community of writers!
It was serendipitous.
Did you ever feel that things were falling into place and that someone, a higher hand, was guiding you? A nudge here, and gentle point over there? That's what blogging has been like for me.
Without going into a big, long story, I've wanted to write for a long time. When I finally decided to get started in 2009, I had no idea you were all out there.
I came looking for something else, and found YOU!
I've been struggling for a while whether to split my blog or not. I knew I needed a new author platform separate from my running-turned-writing blog, but the thought of starting over to recruit followers over to my new blog has been holding me back. I still want you to follow Run Gwen, Run!, too. Yes, I want it all!
I've written my first novel, Givin' Up The Ghost, and I figured it was time to create an author's site, since, you know, I'm an author now! I've decided to self-publish when the final edits are done, hopefully in July, or maybe August. I will let you know when it's more definite.
But for now, I'd like to share a scene from my novel:

So I decided to quit waffling and busted out a move!
I'm not as cute as this little guy,
but my moves are similar!
I am awarding major blog-buddy points if you'll help me spread the word!
Thank you, my awesome blogsome friends!
Okay! Here I am with my cha-cha-slide dancing shoes on!! Glad to see you making this move. It's wonderful to read of you grabbing a hold of your publishing destiny given the wonderful encouragement I've received from you at my own blog. You are Rock Star Awesome!!
