IWSG: Muddling Mode

 
Thanks Alex Cavanaugh for hosting the Insecure Writer's Support Group. The place where we let all our writerly insecurities hang out.
 
It has been a really long time since I forgot about IWSG! I don't think I've ever forgotten it, actually.
So, I'm late with this post.
I have lots of insecurities to be sure, but somehow I'm in the muddling along mode, dealing with things as they come.
Reactive rather than proactive.
 I know it won't last.
I know I'm trying to do too much.
 I have too much going on.
 
That's all, really.
 
How are you doing?
 
Overwhelmed?

Too busy?

The Partners in ParanormYA Are Baack!



 
Remember those two crazy gals who write paranormal but are too scared to read or watch it themselves? Yeah, those two - Angela Brown and Gwen Gardner. We're back with our sequels and can't wait to share them with you!

 
But for now, it is with great pleasure and a thrill in our hearts that the Partners in ParanormYA reveal the covers for our follow-up stories to our currently available novels: Givin' Up the Ghost (Gwen) and Neverlove (Angela).

THEY ALL FALL DOWN by Angela Brown (Add to Goodreads)
 
Cover design by Heather McCorkle
 
 
Abby and Basil: New love reaches new heights as they finally give in to their lust and desire for each other.
Q: Consumed by the Devourer within and his base need to claim Abby as his own.

The crave: What it all boils down to. A crave for souls. A crave to keep love intact beyond betrayals. A crave for a second chance. A crave for power and The Fall of mankind.

“Love can conquer all” is put to the test and salvation may be impossible when it’s “ashes, ashes…they all fall down.”

A GUILTY GHOST SURPRISED by Gwen Gardner (Add to Goodreads)



 
An Angel Among Us
 
Paranormal happenings at the Eady household are the norm. Recently, things have become downright peculiar. Childish giggles at odd hours of the night lead Indigo Eady to her little cousin, Bryan, a guileless cherub spirit, complete with Spider Man pajamas and a set of faux angel wings. The problem is that Bryan died nearly three years ago in a hit and run that killed him and his mum. The driver was never found.  Now the gang must solve the mystery of his death in order to send him back to heaven.  But where to start when the trail is three years cold?
Indigo Eady

Indigo Eady is not clumsy. At least, that’s what she keeps telling everyone. Can she help that the overactive spirit community of Sabrina Shores causes her psychic abilities to short-circuit? It’s unfortunate that her cute friend Badger is often on the receiving end of her mishaps. At times, she is positively hazardous to his health. Even so, sparks fly in more than one direction.
 

About Gwen



Gwen Gardner is a native Californian living in sunny San Diego, where her love of reading and writing led to a BA in English literature. Life is now complete with her husband, two dogs and a daily call from her daughter.
Since ghosts feature prominently in her young adult Indigo Eady Paranormal “Cozy” Mystery series, she has a secret desire to meet one face to face - but will run screaming for the hills if she ever does. Gwen adores travel and experiencing the cultures and foods of different countries. She is always up for an adventure and anything involving chocolate - not necessarily in that order.

Not Just a Ghost of a Chance

I hope you all had a blessed weekend.

I don't really have a post today, just a bit of trivia.
 
But if you come back tomorrow, there's going to be a


I'll leave you with this:

The real Chance Gardner
 

This little guy right here, who just happens to be my granddog, Chance, has a role in my next book,

A Guilty Ghost Surprised.
 
He plays a ghost dog AND his name is Chance in the book.

He is also featured prominently on the cover. You will be amazed at the likeness my illustrator, Corona Zschusschen, created.

 

Have you ever featured people
or pets you know in your books?
