This is the third book in the Stealing Time series and my favorite so far. I'm thrilled at how this one came together. I've been in these character's heads for so long (16 years for some) it's pretty easy to write about their misadventures. </div><p>One of the most exciting parts of writing time travel is I can take my story anywhere and any time in the world. I wanted to bring this story to the Wild West in 1872, where America was bruised and battered from the Civil War, and in involved in a quickening struggle to reform as a nation. I found Jesse and Frank James hiding out in Sterling City, Texas just after the war. It seemed a rich time to throw Ronnie, my unsuspecting protagonist, and have her captured by Comanches in the process. Throw in a sprinkle of hurricane's devastation to the mix and voila, the recipe for a gritty, suspenseful story. </p><h3 style="text-align: center;">What are reader's saying about Killing Time? </h3><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://geni.us/KTSocial" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="300" height="250" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ChW6a93eDa4/YVN5HRyT6GI/AAAAAAAAJ8Q/mkuE9P6xZxI2yYqjILZOpU0hjM3b7CMkACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/7.png" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://geni.us/KTSocial" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="300" height="250" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R3dSnX__srE/YVN46LZKX7I/AAAAAAAAJ8I/ciWX13dNVXcuyoxcOX4Iea9pSJTM2pz9QCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Meals%2BSandra%2BF%2BReview.png" width="300" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div></blockquote><blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">his book is full of action, intrigue, envy, and unbelievable suspense!

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm working on my third book in the series now that should be out in September 2020, called Killing Time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I</span><span style="font-size: large;">'m creating </span><span style="font-size: large;">something cool on my website as a teaser for the book. Here is a sneak peek! The website version will have some added features that provide a few pages from the journal pictured below and maybe a few more surprises. Stay tuned! </span><br />

<h2 style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Welcome to my blog. I hope in this unusual time you are able to find some good in your current situation. I've made a humorous video sharing the top ten reasons I'm not getting anything done. You can see that below. <br /><br />As a quick introduction, I'm KJ Waters and an author of breathtakingly original time travel fiction, and an author consultant helping writers one book at a time. <br /><br />Currently, I'm writing the third book in my time travel series, Killing Time and just started a new women's fiction series. This is an excerpt from my latest newsletter that I wanted to share with you as a teaser of what I like to share over there. If you'd like to sign up to enter my monthly contests to win gift cards and books please <a href="https://www.kjwaters.com/newsletter">sign up here</a>.<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Save the World -- Wash Your Hands! </span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Let's make a pact. I promise to not freak out if you do too. Pinky swear you will take care of yourself by walking outside and focus on the beauty of spring, playing solitaire on your iPad (I just started this and it's actually fun!), or call your bestie and tell him/her how much s/he means to you. <br /><br />You can take small moments in your day and let yourself get lost in a good book, a favorite show on TV, playing Scrabble, kicking zombie's asses, anything that keeps your mind off the scary things going on out there. Find something that just a week ago you didn't have time for, something you've been wanting to tackle for months.<br /></span><div style="direction: ltr; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I promise to be calm (ish) and enjoy the little joyful things. My family needs me at my best and a stressed me doesn't do that. Promise me that you will keep your cool.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Take charge of your health and happiness by focusing on one small thing that brings you joy. Even for just a few minutes. It will offer you a respite. Find ways to be grateful for what you have, to focus on the good things that you can control.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope you and your family stay safe during this unprecedented time. I will be sending you happy thoughts, healthy prayers, and lots of unconditional love. We are all in this together!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here is the latest video I made to make the best of the current situation. Top Ten Reasons I'm Not Getting Anything Done. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yeah, I'm a goof but I'm also well suited for these times. I'm a writer and already spent a ridiculous amount of time at home hiding in my office. But now, so is my entire family of six, and that is killing my productivity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Great little blessings are in there as well, like seeing my college son every day when he should be away at college and having special moments where we all play games together. Even my teen-aged daughter is forced ... ah ... gets to spend time with us now. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My surprise blessing happened three weeks ago when my son's college shut down for the rest of the semester. He was already home on spring break from his school in New York 27 hours away. You can imagine my unending joy finding out we could keep him for the next 2 months and possibly longer depending on what happens this summer. Especially having him home where I can care for him during this crazy time. </span></div>

I'm fascinated by the traditions we have in the United States with all the different cultures represented here. With that in mind, I hatched the idea to grab a few of my favorite author buddies from various countries to have them share what makes the holidays special to their families.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">All last week we featured one blog post a day with an accompanying video from each author sharing their Christmas traditions and gave you a peek inside their books and what one of the characters would experience in their time and place.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today is my day to share</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> my Christmas traditions based on my Grandmother’s love of the holiday and overabundance of gifts and family fun in a split family. Also, </span><span style="font-size: large;">I will paint a picture of </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">what life was like in England in 1752, the year featured in my book, <i>Stealing Time</i>, which was the year they skipped 11 days to jive with Europe’s Gregorian calendar. Check out my video to learn more. </span><br />

five-year-old Sammy, having a good day despite the malignant tumor invading his
brain. Based on true events from the 1980s, Sammy’s story is imagined by his
mother and brother as if the young boy might tell it himself. The result is
gripping. Told in two parts, Sammy’s account first invites us into the everyday
middle-American lives of a mom and her two boys. Sammy is a sweet, good-hearted
kid, even as he faces the most difficult challenges in Part 2: “Cancer
Arrived.” Here Sammy talks us through hospital trips and procedures, the
hardest parts as well as moments of simple joy. It is not always possible to
survive such a grim diagnosis, so Sammy and his family must embrace the smaller
victories from one day to the next. Finally, our young hero is given one last
opportunity to find his own unique path toward triumph. Listen closely as Sammy
tells us all what matters most.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am very excited to bring to you a dear friend <span style="color: blue;">Seumas Gallacher</span>, who has just released his autobiography. He is a fascinating Scotsman with an intriguing background in international banking and finance, then corporate troubleshooter turned best-selling author. Please check out his post to learn more!

<b>A Journey to Myself – Writing my Autobiography</b></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> By Seumas Gallacher</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NpX_BbAgdD4/XcXSD1KLtlI/AAAAAAAAIWE/gKDvlm_y9pQwlFNJY6cqj7xMY0dUMp8nACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/aaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NpX_BbAgdD4/XcXSD1KLtlI/AAAAAAAAIWE/gKDvlm_y9pQwlFNJY6cqj7xMY0dUMp8nACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/aaaa.jpg" width="240" /></a>For authors, the
old maxim is often quoted, ‘Write about what you know.’ <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been at this writing
game properly for over a decade now, with a back list of five crime thrillers,
a book of my poetry, a self-help marketing and promotional guide for authors,
and almost 2,000 blog posts. Add to that a catalog of half-a-dozen ghostwriting
assignments for other people’s ‘autobiographies’, and it’s of little wonder
that the thought occurred to put my own life story and experiences to print.
‘Write about what you know.’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What happened next
was a sometime bewildering, sometime painful, sometime joyful, but always
exhilarating, writing trip of discovery. I now understand more clearly than
ever before just how much I am truly an amalgam of everything, everybody and
everywhere with which and with whom I have ever been associated.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Were there regrets?
Of course. Probably far too many to register. I doubt if more than a handful of
people on this planet have led a flawless, blameless existence. But I do know
that every single incident and experience, good, bad and indifferent, was
necessary to bring me to this moment in my life. And I would not seek to change
one second of it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is amazing how
memories bring back not only the plain telling of the story, but for me, it
also recalled the feelings and emotions that I had in most of them. I felt them
again, and again, and again, some with laughter, but also many of them attended
with a quiet tear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I believe, at this
age, finally, I am aware of who and what I am as a person. I like the man I see
in the mirror each morning, although it was not always thus. I have acquired a
tolerance of myself and my own shortcomings, but more importantly, I have
learned to ‘live and let live’ in relation to others whom I meet day to day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What surprises me,
is that having published the book just a few weeks ago, I find that I am remembering
many other things which could have been included in the memoir. I will resist
the temptation to edit online the Amazon Kindle version, which is easy to do,
on the same premise that once I finish writing my novels, I leave them
finished. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To all my author
friends and even those who have not yet caught the writing addiction, you may
want to consider a similar project. It is a wondrous journey to yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>

How I Made the Best Seller List With #Outlander<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

#Outlandish Dreams Come True!</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first read the Outlander series from Diana Gabaldon in the early 2000's, I fell in love with the characters, the richness of the storytelling and the details of how people lived back in the seventeen hundreds before the Scottish uprising. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I never imagined that I would write a book, much less that if I did, it would end up on the best seller list with her novels, but that happened this week! Squeee!!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eventually, I read her book, the Outlandish Companion where Diana discussed her somewhat haphazard way of writing chapters and later connecting them to each other and it really inspired me to consider writing a novel. I always thought you had to be super structured, which I definitely am not. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took a while deciding on what to write about but after experiencing 4 major hurricanes in six-weeks in central Florida in the summer of 2004 I felt I had the perfect backdrop for an exciting series. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It wasn't until a decade later that I finished fiddling around with <a href="https://geni.us/BlogLandingSeries">Stealing Time</a> and took the plunge publishing it. Later published <a href="https://geni.us/BlogLandingSeries">Shattering Time</a>. I'm currently working on the third book in the series, Killing Time. You can hear me talking a bit about Killing Time in my latest video chat on my website <a href="https://www.kjwaters.com/kj-s-video-chats">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Living History</b></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What fascinates me the most about Outlander was the concept of living as a modern woman in the past, and the living conditions and social norms of the times. I had a lot of fun researching all of those historical details and in a way living there vicariously through my characters, albeit it in the comfort of my writing cave, and not subject to the horrors my characters are put through. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the shocking things I learned about 1752 London was that as a wedding gift in a lower class society, the woman's family would have all her teeth pulled and give her dentures. This way the husband wouldn't have to pay to have her teeth removed as they rotted in their mouths over time. Can you imagine that? So glad I'm living now and not then!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This book is a humorous collection of my fondest watery adventures to help me cope with moving from the oceanfront to Dirtville USA. It features family adventures to some of America's most prestigious <span style="color: #6aa84f;">national parks</span> (including Yellowstone and Yosemite) while balancing my son's dislike of the outdoors with my intense need for being neck deep in any warm body of water.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of this blog I'll share one of the short stories so you can get a flavor of the rest of the book. Inside the book I've also included the first five chapters of Stealing Time, the first book in the series as well as a free bonus.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
July 1997<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was July and Bermuda was the only place in the world I
wanted to be with the sun on my shoulders and the gorgeous blue sea in front of
me. I was excited by what I might find in the tranquil coves and lagoons littering
the coast. The handsome and amazingly well-muscled man who just happened to be
my new groom joining me on this adventure did not hurt the excitement factor
either.</div>
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">We rented a scooter and made our
way along the narrow winding roads while attempting to avoid the overloaded
trucks taking their half of the street from the center. The island was
breathtaking, filled with pastel cottages in shades of pink, blue, and salmon
all with impossibly white roofs. As we meandered along oleander-lined streets,
pink-and-white flowers reached out to touch us as we drove by. We continued to make
our way to the outskirts of the island to find an isolated beach to explore.</span><br />

We parked the scooter and headed to
the water with snorkel gear in hand. While standing knee-deep in the water he
cheerfully informed me, “Several years ago three people were eaten by a shark
at this very spot.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I looked around at the lack of bystanders
that would need to pull our shark-bitten bodies out of the water. With false
innocence, he looked at me and continued the grisly lesson, pointing at the
lagoon’s edge. “Over there a ten-year-old boy lost his leg.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I looked but didn’t want to see.
Seriously? These were not thoughts I wanted swimming beside me in the water. I
was satisfied with the blissful ignorance we’d had at the beginning of the
journey. What happened to the tranquil coves? Unhappy with my newfound
knowledge about bloody and dismembered people, I took another swig of water and
tossed the bottle in the sand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“This is the part where you stick
that snorkel in your mouth and bite it,” I said while trying to scrub my brain
free of the horrible images he’d just planted. He obliged by sliding into the
water smiling, knowing his tease had worked. It only took me a few minutes to
brush it aside since I was too enamored with the tiny squid flitting just
inches below the waterline, yet always out of reach. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The breathtaking beauty of the
coral reefs teaming with life eventually overcame my ill-begotten fears. The
colors of the palm trees, flowers, and lush greenery of the land paled in
contrast to all the fuchsias, yellows, and blues of the fish darting and diving
around the pink coral rocks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The view of my man in swim
trunks and snorkel gear was mighty fine, too. Later we returned to the scooter
with my soggy bikini-clad body pressed against his, ready to explore
another isolated beach—this one just secluded enough.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
At the end of the day we returned
to our room, aptly named “A Bit o’ Heaven,” for a steamy shower and fresh duds.
With a blanket and a bottle of champagne in hand we took a short walk down the
rocky slope to the beach in front of the hotel. We arrived just in time to
watch the sun fade into the sea, both ready for part two of our exciting interlude
in Bermuda.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’ve longed to go back and relive those amazing moments on
the beach. But I’m afraid that adventure will have to wait awhile. As it would
happen a few small problems have arisen since then, namely my beautiful blondie
children. Right now, they’re clamoring for dinner and a chuck under their collective
chins, so I must dash off. My current bit ‘o heaven includes the laughter,
hugs, and everything else that comes with being their mom. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered what happens to your book links after you post them? Did you know that most links don't allow your international audience to find your book? </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been using this amazing tool called Genius Link for the past six months and was so happy with how it has helped create intelligent links that solve this problem, I reached out to the co-founder, Jesse Lakes, for an interview on Blondie and the Brit, the podcast I co-host with Suzanne Kelman. Click below to listen to the full interview. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">He first tackled an issue that plagued his early website traffic (and connected affiliate income) that was keeping international visitors from finding their way to his links on iTunes. His solution was so genius that Apple first threatened a lawsuit until they decided to hire him. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Meet my buddy David P. Perlmutter. He has some exciting news to share with you and an offer for other authors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Also, his book is only 99 cents right now so don't miss out on a true adventure. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Since%20we%20were%20last%20in%20contact,%20I%20have%20some%20exciting%20news%20that%20I%20would%20like%20to%20share%20with%20you.%20Some%20very%20exciting%20news%20indeed.%20The%20first%20book%20that%20I%20wrote,%20Wrong%20Place%20Wrong%20Time%20which%20has%20been%20a%20#1 BESTSELLER across Amazon in many different categories, is now a book to movie project with Golden Mile Productions, who are based in London, Marbella and Los Angeles. Yes, the book which is based on true events and with over 800 x 4/5* reviews across Amazon, Waterstones and Goodreads is currently in development. When it was announced that a film was in the making, I did a live Facebook video which went down a storm and once the cast has been put together with the director, I will be arranging another video on Facebook. I have been asked many times how I managed to gain a production company who desires to make a movie about my book. Well, apart from having a decent book, that is maybe a bit different from others which Wrong Place Wrong Time is, to me it%E2%80%99s about marketing the hell out of the book on all your social media platforms. This is what I have done for a few years for this book and all my others. Also, patience%E2%80%99s is very important. As an author, of course you have patience%E2%80%99s as writing a book can take months, even years. Why am I saying this? Well, because, I have had this production company sniffing around at my book for two years and only since the turn of the year, 2018, that developments have been rapid and up and running. So, be patience, keep marketing and keep dreaming. It will happen. If you like to keep up-to-date with the progress of the book to movie, then why not become one of my 44,000 plus followers on Twitter, https://twitter.com/davepperlmutter Also if you would like to be BOOK OF THE MONTH on my website www.davidpperlmutter.com, email me at david@davidpperlmutter.com">Click here.</a> Don't miss out on his other books specifically for authors.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Last week was a doozie. In preparation for my first book signing for Shattering Time, I was asked to be on two radio shows. </span><br />
<div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Chad Hasty Show</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">First I joined Chad Hasty on his radio program to promote the first book signing for Shattering Time.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the radio interview with Chad: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kawySZf6lCw" width="560"></iframe><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was also on Chad's show in 2015 when I first released Stealing Time. You can hear that interview <a href="https://youtu.be/iFfn3T0SfPc">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">LoneStar Country</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was finished with Chad I walked down the hall to meet Jan Miller from LoneStar Country and chat for a bit about her book and the Stealing Time series. Check it out here, she even added some snazzy pics to go with the audio. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

I wanted to share my Book Festival experience with you. It was an incredible day full of mind-sparkling meetings and programs. I had a blast and met some seriously talented authors. In fact I came home with a pretty big stash of books that I can't wait to dig into.<br />

I also spoke with them about joining us on the Blondie and the Brit -- Writing, Publishing and Beyond Podcast that I co-host with Suzanne Kelman and they've all agreed to be on the show! I'll be scheduling them soon for 2018 so stay tuned. You can find us here on <a href="https://blondieandbrit.podbean.com/">Podbean</a> or <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/blondie-and-the-brit/id1042661151">iTunes</a>.<br />

I was the moderator for the first session of the day for Middle Grade Authors and was lucky enough to introduced these two incredible authors and manage the 45 minute session with them: Xavier Garza and S.J. Dahlstrom. Xavier also illustrates his stories and presented an excerpt from one of his books. S.J. read the first chapter of <i>The Elk Hunt</i> from his Wilder Good Series. Both captivated the room with very different styles.<br />

The next session was about Science Fiction writing and as that is my genre I didn't want to miss it. I watched these two lovely ladies, Rachel Caine and A.G. Howard, weave a magic spell on the audience. Rachel spoke about her neck injury from leaning over the laptop so much. A.G. spoke about using a kernel of a fairy tale to write her novels. When they were finished I immediately bought their books and introduced myself.<br />

While talking to A.G. Howard one of my fans came up and asked me if my books were available for signing, which they were. This prompted A.G. to ask about my writing. Imagine my shock when she jumped up and purchased my book on the spot! While waiting in line we encountered a young girl with her hands full of books and she nearly bumped into us. A.G. noticed that the girl had every single one of her books and I believe the girl nearly fainted standing next to her favorite author of all time. I got a picture and A.G. kindly held my book up in the photo. I'm sure this pic is floating around on social media somewhere. If you find it let me know!<br />

I attended the Romance Author session with Timothy Lewis and Linda Broday and was really impressed with their presentations. I found it interesting how different they were albeit both very successful with Linda the ultimate pantser writing by the seat of her pants and Timothy who plans out every detail to the nth degree.<br />
<br />
Timothy based his internationally best selling book on a photo album full of postcards he found at his uncle's estate sale after his death. His uncle sent a post card to his bride every Friday since the day they met. Such a touching story.<br />
<br />
Linda talked about her extensive research library to capture the essence of the wild west in her historical romance novels. Two extremely talented authors I'm looking forward to reading.<br />
<br />
I finished my day raptly listening to Jodi Thomas recount how she began her dream of writing. She was an average student with the not so lofty goal of just getting a date before she finished high school, not interested in college or writing. Her humble and endearing account was so inspiring. I will be interviewing her this spring just before she launches a new women's fiction series about a quilt shop and I can't wait to share her awesomeness with our podcast listeners.<br />
<br />
<div>
The cashier eyed me as I appeared again and again to purchase more books. I believe I encountered her at least 10 times that day and she even took care of me as I ditzed out leaving my purse at the counter while I took advantage of the moment to capture this picture with Jodi Thomas. </div>

I also met local TV News personality Karin McCay and had her sign her book for my little Shorty. I was sorry to miss her session since it was at the same time as Jodi Thomas. She writes an incredible series for kids that was inspired by her grand kids who moved away to Germany.<br />

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">As an avid fan of
ANYTHING 17th or 18th century AND once addicted (...maybe still) to Quantum
Leap, when I stumbled across Stealing Time, by author KJ Waters, I couldn't
resist adding it to my long list of things to do! Being a teacher, father of
two and busy author myself, I find it very difficult to read as much as I would
like, but once I began reading Stealing Time, it did not seem to be a challenge
at all. The realistic mental imagery of 18th century London, perfectly mixed
with the enticement of a perfect storm, time travel and spicy characters kept
me on the edge of my seat. KJ Waters undoubtedly researched her history! I
found her book to be historically refreshing and educational, rather than
eye-rolling and inaccurate, which I have encountered in other
"time-travelish" books.<br />
<br />
Stealing Time is pleasantly packed with believable, well-developed characters
worth investing your time with. They all keep you involved, and I applaud the
Ms. Waters with the flawless way the characters differ based on the century
they were from. This must have been a challenge.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a suspenseful, historical, witch-hunt of a journey -
read STEALING TIME...and like me, you'll be impatiently waiting for round two.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Are our souls
continuous between lives in time and space? Are we irresistibly drawn to those
past times and places? Stealing Time explores these questions through an
exciting, fast-paced adventure of time travel from current day Florida in the
midst of a hurricane to 16th century London.<br />
The past is awful for women and those designated witches in particular. The
rule of religion over law is rampant and the detailed description of the
experience of those times makes one very happy to be living in the present. The
characters are well developed with even the basest of persons appearing to have
some degree of morality in intention. This is good writing. I will happily buy the sequel,
Shattering Time, to find out how this saga ends. Will Mathias and Regina, aka
Ronnie, find each other again? Is love stronger than death? An absolute five
star read!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">This was a great read. I rate it 4.5 (rounding
up to 5, since 1/2 points aren't available to me here). I was immediately
sucked into the suspenseful storm of this story. I liked the fact that there
were two simultaneous storylines running, one following Ronnie and the other
following Steph. Just as I began to become too nervous for Ronnie, I was
allowed a "break" by checking in on Steph. Then things would start to
get pretty intense with her, and we'd flip back to Ronnie. I also really
appreciated the amount of research Ms. Waters put into this project. Her
depiction of the 18th century was very believable (reminding us just how lucky
we are to live in modern times), as was the reality of riding out a major
hurricane. The reason for my "1/2 point rating deduction" is the
ending. Obviously with "Book 1" in the title, one can anticipate
unfinished business at the end of the book. That being said, I expected to walk
away from the book with some sense of completion, much like walking away from
the 1st movies in the original Star Wars trilogy - unfinished business, but
also some completion. The existing abrupt cliffhanger wouldn't have been so bad
if there had been a warning in the book's description (as you sometimes find
with other books). Write away, Ms. Waters; I anxiously await book 2!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hurricane Harvey Relief Discount on my Hurricane Series</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The horrible scenes coming out of southeast Texas this week as a result of Hurricane Harvey breaks my heart. I truly am in awe of the strength and soul of Texas and their ability to tackle the worse disaster in American history with class and neighborly love.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Like many of you, I want to do something to help and I'm contacting my local Food Bank and Rotary Clubs to see how I can help locally in their broader projects to support victims of Harvey as well as donating to the larger organizations helping in disaster relief. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to do something more personal as well and I've been struggling with something related to my writing to help in a small way. I don't think I need to encourage anyone to help out, but I did want to offer a little bit of thanks for supporting the relief effort. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hurricane Charley and Time Travel back to 18 Century London</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may know already I'm an author who was inspired to write my time travel series after living through the hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004. Hurricane Charley was the last Category 4 hurricane to hit the United States before Harvey devastated Texas last week. Charley is the backdrop for the first book in the series Stealing Time and you can read a sample, reviews, and the blurb <a href="https://www.kjwaters.com/stealing-time">here</a> or buy on Amazon (ebook is only $2.99) <a href="http://geni.us/StealingBlog">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t90J7Cfot6s/WPpbNK7s1_I/AAAAAAAAGpM/mKsq4OzbtmMzkoNrJrqTmvgVETzTd60QACPcBGAYYCw/s1600/Shattering%2BTime%2BECover%2B2-Med.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1082" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t90J7Cfot6s/WPpbNK7s1_I/AAAAAAAAGpM/mKsq4OzbtmMzkoNrJrqTmvgVETzTd60QACPcBGAYYCw/s200/Shattering%2BTime%2BECover%2B2-Med.jpg" width="135" /></a><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hurricane Frances and Time Travel to The Lost Colony in 1588 Early America</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This weekend is the anniversary of Hurricane Frances that hit Florida 13 years ago only a few weeks after Charley hit. This storm was the size of Texas and impacted nearly the entire state of Florida and like Harvey was a slow mover with a lot of rain. It is also the backdrop for the second book in the series, Shattering Time. You can read the reviews and blurb <a href="https://www.kjwaters.com/copy-of-stealing-time-1">here</a> or buy on Amazon (ebook is only $3.99) <a href="http://geni.us/ShatterBlog">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully, I wasn't affected in any serious way by the storms, just some minor damage to my Florida room, but it was definitely a dramatic welcome to the state, as I had just moved there three days before Charley struck and within six week four major hurricanes hit the state. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was going to launch a blog series with storm stories from my readers, but as the events of this disaster Hurricane Harvey have given us all enough to focus on, I've decided to put that on hold for a bit. I'll continue that blog idea in the future and would love for you to send me any storm stories you'd like to share. </span><br />

I reached out to catch the front of her kayak to lessen the collision.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">“What are they doing here in Canada?” She asked noting the irony of America’s symbol enjoying the fresh air in another country. She tried to cover her childish question with a more mature one, “Are they protected here, too?” I glanced from his highness to her clear blue eyes and pink cheeks kissed with new summer freckles as she pushed a section of her thick blonde hair out of her face that spilled over her life vest.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We paddled quietly around the wilderness exploring Lac St. Charles just outside of Quebec City. For Shorty, it was her second time out in a kayak under her own power, so she was focused on not tipping over. I was focused on the pure bliss of being surrounded by water and breathtaking natural beauty. Another reminder I was no longer in Dirtville, for as you can imagine from the fond nickname of my current home, it is not littered with tall trees or beautiful lakes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As she worked out the nuance of kayaking, I led us to the deeper part of the lake past the quaint cottages that dotted the shore. While we paddled in peaceful silence, I relived my childhood lakeside life with my grandparents each summer. We pushed through a patch of seaweed and I glanced back to make sure Shorty was handling it well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Mom, why is it called seaweed in a lake?

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">I laughed, marveling at the way she always thought things through with logic and reason. It was such a joy to peek </span>in<span style="background-color: white; color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> the windows of her mind. I didn’t ruin her clever observation by noting that lake weed sounded like some new form of pot. Instead, I gave her full credit for her clever observation and navigated around a peninsula enjoying the view of the wide-open water imagining what it would be like to own one of the cottages. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few paddle boarders passed nearby and they said the obligatory Quebecian “Bonjour.” I was envious of their mode of transportation and such an easy body of water to paddle on.

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My son graduates high school this year and he is always busy with his numerous academic and social activities. Not that the boy doesn’t love me, just that he was looking towards his future and approaching adulthood and no longer had much time or interest in his dear old mom. In fact, he turned downtime on the lac with me to study for next year’s Academic Decathlon, preferring the vast open spaces in his mind to the ones the rest of us enjoyed in nature. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I likely deserved every criticism and snarky comment purely as payback for giving the same to my mom. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #636363; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I pushed that aside and in this blissful moment, I focused all of my attention on Shorty. It was a magnificent feeling to share another first with her, one that I wish I’d savored more completely when my older two were this age. Back then I had been hopped up on caffeine, plucking the baby food out of my hair, chasing three kids around and adjusting to Dirtville. I am just glad they are all turning out to be such great young adults and look forward to any time they will give me. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

She was the picture of summer bliss with the freedom of a day ready to be filled with adventure and thoughts of a confined classroom all but a distant memory. I wish I could give her that joy every day but like the rest of us, the thrill of adventure would soon become ordinary. It is the hard work over the cool winter months that make these moments so glorious. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
