Okay so it looks like I fell off the planet. Promise - I'm still here. The last four years have been ... hard. There's no other word for it. Everything is fine. I'm fine, but I've been the caregiver of my mom who has Dementia. Between her needs, work, etc I seem to have lost control of my time. I am still writing and am trying hard to get back to my blog.

In case you weren't aware Phaze and HSWF which where under the Mundania Umbrella have closed. I was smart enough to get my titles back before all this happened. I'm happy to say the three books I sold to HSWF have been picked up by Melange Books and are available through their Satin Books imprint. I have even sold a new title to them called Magical Quest due out in 2022

I have also been lucky enough to find a publisher for my Vespian Way series. I'm now with Blushing Books under the name of Bethany Drake. I have five titles out with them right now and am close to submitting two more. There's Desire's Destiny, Desire's Duty and Desire's Promise. Then there is two in my werewolf series, Tears of the Queen and Legend of the Tears. I have just finished the rough draft of the third book in the series and have plans for a fourth one the moment I submit it.

I'll probably still be sporadic here on the blog. Unless I win the lottery and can hire someone to help me I can't avoid it, but know I'm still here still working hard in the background and am hoping to do better at keeping my blog alive.

Shameless Promoting again and a quick update

I wanted to make those of you who visit my blog aware that my laptop has gone into the shop and I am without - I have to borrow (steal) from family (son in particular) to get to the internet. Stupid video card went out - very grateful for my warranty but I feel lost without it. Just giving everyone fair warning that it will effect my writing time and internet time so my posts might be a little more sporadic.

I have been working on editing information on this blog. Blame it on being a past president for my local RWA chapter. Wanting to help other writers is in my blood. I love doing it but I can't seem to get those out as fast so I'm going to try something so there isn't a big gap between my posts. Once a week I'm going to post about random thoughts as well as continue with my writing down the bones series. We'll see how well I do at that.

Now to the shameless promoting. If you're one the erotic e-loop http://groups.yahoo.com/group/karendevinkaren/
I will be chatting tomorrow night, Nov 28th from 7 pm - 10 pm. I'll be talking about why I write paranormal. Posting info on my newest series and that kind of thing. Please come by and say hi if you can.
