Dragons to Slay…
Good Day everyone. Peeking my bleary eyes out the window as I sip my coffee I can see it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. But I turn away from the glaring sun as I reach for some meds to fight against the migraine I woke up with this morning and wash it down with a sip of much needed caffeine. I take a deep breath. Time to dive back into my edits and slay those dragons. The dragons of adding scenes and fixing point of views. Not to mention the dragon of fixing the emotional game of Twister that I’ve gotten my characters tangled up in. Time for another sip of coffee then to my sword.
What dragons are you slaying today?
All the best,
KMJ

Fill ‘er up!
Happy Monday! I’m going deep into book 2 edit mode this week, so just popping in to say hello as I shuffle off to grab, yet another,cup of coffee. I hope you all are doing swell! Did you have a great weekend? Are you reading anything fabulous? See any good movies? What about that Scandal last week? Major! I didn’t announce it here, but feel free to check out my recap over at Heroes and Heartbreakers. What a ride that show is. Are you all watching any Housewives this season? I’m into ATL and Beverly Hills though light on The Hills ladies. Ok, break over I must get rid of a few more commas and exclamation points!! Oops, there I go again. Have a good one.
All the best,

Thrilling Thursday!
Howdy folks! It’s been quite the week and flying by too. We had a quickie snowstorm and then Spring sprung with more freezing temperatures and not a fine how do you do. Side-eye to that.
I continued on my World tour thanks so much to all of you following me, it’s so appreciated. I have another stop today over at Long and Short Reviews so please stop by there for another chance to win. And on top of all of that, with the week not even over, yesterday I got my edits for book 2 so it will be a busy next couple of weeks for me in the writing cave (note to self: get provisions ie: chocolate).
And then finally to top things off with the best news, I got my official release date and title for book 2! So that said… wait for it… Book 2 in my Creative Heart series will be out May 27th and called…
Seduction’s Canvas
Whee! I think I’m in love now and I can’t wait to share it with all of you when it comes out. In the meantime, though my books can stand alone it is nice to know all the players so look to the right and click on over to read Through The Lens if you haven’t yet. You won’t be disappointed.
BTW, Don’t you just love this pic of Edie Sedwick and Andy Warhol marrying Fashion and art?

Double up Wednesday!
Howdy Lovelies and Happy Wednesday and Happy Spring though the snow outside my window says something else. Today I’m in two places at once again but no worries I’m a mom of twins so I’m used to it.
My first stop in hanging with one of my fellow Crimson sisters Elizabeth Meyette for an interview. It was so much fun hanging with Elizabeth and I really enjoyed her fantastic questions. Then my next stop in my world tour is with the cool Kim at Read Your Writes Book Reviews. Please stop on by her great blog to see what she has to say about Through The Lens and get another change to win a gift cars. Whew, what a wild Double Wednesday this is! Have a great one.

Winter is Here…Still
Good Tuesday. I can’t believe I’m here waking to snow today. Will it ever be done? Ever? Ok that’s quite dramatic, of course it will and Spring will be on the way before we know it, tomorrow in fact! Don’t you love my pep talk? I really am trying, but at this point the only Winter I want to see is in the upcoming Game of Thrones season opener.
Today for another stop on my magical fashion tour I’m at Rachel Brimble Romance blog so please stop on by and enter to win. But wait… I’m making two stops, WHEE!! I’m also at Books are Magic blog so 2 chances to win! Stop on by there too. Have fun!
Also don’t you just love this series of 1970’s pics of legendary beauty Pat Cleveland by photographer Antonio Lopez. I sure do. They still look modern and beautiful.
Have a happy and let’s all wish for Spring together. I’m going to do some warm scene writing to bring a little heat to the day. How are you warming up? Reading anything good?
All the best,

Supermodels and more Super chances to look through & win!
Happy Monday!! I know I shouldn’t be all double exclamation point excited, but really I’m just trying to hype myself up to get into this Monday thing this week. That said, I do have something to be happy about. Today my world tour is still on and I’m over at the fab Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess. She has a fun excerpt and a review of Through The Lens so you can head on over there and see what she thought of the book. Don’t forget make a comment and enter to win a gift card of your very own.
I’ve decided that this week, keeping with the TTL photo shoot theme, I’d feature some of my favorite fashion models or icons from days past. I hope you enjoy. Today I’m starting with a love of mine, the first African American model to grace the cover of American Vogue, the ever beautiful, Beverly Johnson.
All the best,
