 Hi everyone!

On this last day of August, I’m doing a preface to our 30 Days of Grits for the September blogs. In September, I will be featuring a grits recipe on my blog each day (#30DaysofGrits – use it on Twitter!) so you can see the wide variety of ways you can cook grits so they taste amazing :)

Why, you ask? Because on October 1st, the first book in the Southern Ghosts Series (NO GRITS, NO GLORY) releases and we are ramping up to that with 30 grits recipes!

Click the link below to see whether or not you remember a key part of grits in pop culture!

Sooo…how many people remember this? 

Today, I feel like I’m channeling Joe Pesci in the movie, “MY COUSIN VINNY.”

His argument scene concerning Grits in the South is hysterical, and right now I have a few more lines of dialogue I would add. See, I have another series coming out this fall (Book #1 – NO GRITS, NO GLORY, releases in early October) and I want to have grits incorporated on the book cover somehow.

Only grits are not very photogenic. Even if they are, they are at the wrong angle for my graphic designer to use them. So here I sit, cussing out grits as I search. I can just hear Joe Pesci’s tone as he would say the following:

* Why aren’t there any photogenic grits out there on the Internet?

* Are these vampire grits that don’t allow themselves to be photographed?

* Exactly what would make a great photo of a grit?

And more…

Look for #30DaysofGritsRecipes starting on 9/1. It’s the gear up to the book release in early October.

For now, I’ll leave you with a photo I took of grits (that of course won’t work…see Joe Pesci rant once more!)

BOOK RELEASE DAY!!!!

Book Three of The Elemental Clan Series is now available! This is Terran’s story, the Earth Elemental, and the book is set in Portland, Oregon.

Blurb:

History has been known to repeat itself, but Earth Elemental Terran never expected what would unfold along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Seems the Acobi Fallen Angels have decided to go underground–literally. When Terran learns the evil clans are trapping underage girls and shanghaiing innocent humans to be shipped off for slavery, he has to come up with a plan to stop them, but he might wind up becoming one of their victims if things don’t go as planned.

Congrats to my Twitter friend, Keri Neal, and her new YA Paranormal Romance Release, HOPELESS.

Synopsis: On her seventeenth birthday, Jade is filled with hope for the future. She and her boyfriend Pen are in love, she is finishing her final year of high school, and she is finally safe from the Fallen, who wanted her blood to fulfill an age-old prophesy. Pen is not as comfortable with the truce they made to protect her, so he makes a new deal with the Arches and leaves Jade alone. But not for long. A new Guardian is assigned to protect Jade. Blake is rude and offensive, his methods unconventional. Because of his dedication to her she trusts him with her life. Best of all, he knows about the Surge— her telekinetic ability—and is eager to teach her how to control her power. With Blake’s help, Jade learns she can defend herself, with or without the Arches protection, against the evil forces that want her blood. Then . . . Pen comes back. He doesn’t like the idea of someone else looking out for Jade, but an army of evil is on its way to destroy her, and Jade needs all the help she can get.

Happy Halloween week to all :) I will be traveling on the actual holiday, so I haven’t spent as much time with decorations and such this year. But, the writing brain must be satisfied :) I’ve taken an old paranormal short story (by old, I mean probably 7-8 years old) and revamped it, polished it a lot, and put it up on Amazon for 99 cents.
