    I’m on world tour…

    Well not really, but I am going my very first internet blog tour this week hosted by Goddess Fish so that’s pretty exciting. You will find me or a bit of talk about me and even more talk about my debut book: Through The Lens on various fantastic book blogs this week.

    During the tour I will be giving away a $25 Amazon gift card to one commenter so please stop on by and comment on each stop to up your winning chances!

    The first stop on this week’s tour is at the super cool Pink Fluffy Hearts Blog please check it out here. Thanks.

    In the meantime I’ll be playing DJ Ms. Jackson this week. Let’s start it off in the TTL theme with a little Duran Duran and Girls on Film. Enjoy!

    Have a fab week!

     

     

    All the best,

    One last hurrah…

    Just when it looked liked March would come in like a lamb, we opened our eyes to wake to this…

    I, for one, can’t wait to Spring Forward this weekend, how about you?

    Oh and if you are looking for a good escape from all this snow might I suggest clicking over to the right and Looking Through The Lens if you have not yet for a romantic island escape.

     

    All the best,

    Wednesday High Tide Flashback

    This Wednesday it looks like we’re flashing back to just a couple of weeks ago and yet another coming rain/snow/wind/ oh to the noes! storm. So it’s time to gather the wood and charge up all the chargeables because in my neck of the woods once the winds get high you never know what could happen. I tell you Sandy shook me and good.

     

    Here’s to hoping it’s all smooth sailing and low tide where you are. Since I’ve been singing this one since yesterday, (well, since 7th grade really) I thought I’d pass it on to you now. Take us out Blondie. Enjoy.

     

    Best,

    KMJ

    Rise and Shine

    Happy Monday from me and the Jackster. Time to rise and shine and face the week. Now that book Book 2 in my Creative Hearts series has been turned in and I’ve had a lovely weekend off, it’s time to lace up my skates and get going on book 3. Whee!

    But first, there are some more glamorous things on my to-do list like: laundry, dusting and the ever fab grocery shopping because after this past week (ok 2 maybe 3) this house is screaming for some TLC (or at least a L or C).  What are you getting up to this week?

     

    All the best,

    Kwana

     

    P.S. Nana would like to give a heartfelt thanks for all the beautiful birthday wishes. Thank you all so much. She really enjoyed reading them and we had a fantastic time celebrating her birthday.

    Marching Through!

    Happy Day and Happy March!

     

    So much to celebrate this month, not the least of which is the 6 month anniversary of Through The Lens! Whee!! Blows whistles, throws confetti. And for the 6th month anniversary I have had a fun trailer made by Winterheart designs for TTL. Come on and get tropical with me and Look Through The Lens!


     

     

     

    Oh and did you hear that I just hit send on book 2? Bam! Yeah, I’m thinking a nap is in order for the weekend.  But first, we have to get jiggy with the lovely Nana and have a big ol’ Super Duper Happy Birthday Celebration!

     

    Happy Birthday Nana!! Love you forever!

     

    Let’s hope she’s not passing out TTL at her party, but if she is, I really won’t be mad ya know. Not like it would be the first time I shamelessly used my grandmother to sell my stuff. Flashbacks of every school fundraiser ever now running through my head.

     

    How about you? What do you have planned for the weekend?

     

    All the best,

    KMJ

    Just One More Thing…

    Happy Monday! Wishing you all a fantastic week as I go into my final push on finishing up book 2 in my Creative Hearts Series. I know that by my Friday deadline I’ll probably be resembling the walking dead myself. It seems the book is never done until it is out of your hands done, so it’s down to the wire for me. Are you like that with projects that you have to get out? Constantly, moving them around, fidgeting and re-arranging until the very last minute?  Be it a huge project or an intimate dinner party? Please chime in and share you last minute thoughts.

    And speaking of last minute… In these last few of Black History Month have you checked out the Black History issue of Shades of Romance Magazine?  I’m in there on page 32 plus a whole host of much more fab authors sharing their thoughts on Writing The Book and Black History. A wonderful read. Check it out here.

     

    Have a great one!

     

    All the best,

    KMJ
