Somewhere to find about all her stories to include her short stories - "Train of Clues" (a mystery destination story, shared second place), "The Tulip Kiss" (first place), "The Proposal" (second place), "Bride-and-Seek", "Butterfly Halves" (runner up), "La Cave", "Zombies Amuck" (second place), and her novels Finally Home (a NaNoWriMo story), and Imogene: Innocense Lost.elysabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comBlogger840125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15462854.post-26169035925728268622017-06-03T12:46:00.000-04:002017-06-03T12:46:00.813-04:00New Series for boys comingI decided in March that I needed to write a new series geared for boys due to the fact that my YA mysteries are girl characters and the boys aren't reading them. I've been steady researching for the series since I had the first title, which came about from one of our Sisters in Crimes meeting here in Columbia, SC. <br />
<br />
The series will be an adventure series with boy characters (maybe a girl or two but the main characters will be boys). I'm calling it a South Carolina Directional Adventure Series because the titles all are compass points (directions) and also contain small town names that all start with the compass direction (N, S, E, W).<br />
<br />
The first title West of _________ came about from our March meeting of Sisters in Crime. Our guest speaker was talking with one of the members and telling her where he was from and trying to give her some sort of landmark or area that she would recognize. He was from Lugoff, which if you are from the Richland County, Kershaw County or any other county that is relatively close to that area you would know where Lugoff is. The member wasn't really familiar with the area so he gave her a landmark, well it is West of Wateree, which isn't really a town but more a state park/water area. After a few minutes of conversation, our past president, Paula Benson, spoke up saying that West of Wateree would make a good title (directing it to all of us, not just the writers of adult mysteries). So for the whole week I had been thinking of how I could use <strong>West of Wateree </strong>as a title for a children's book or possibly a mystery for boys. When I went to Anderson on March 25 to have Anita Fricks sign copies of <strong>A Moose in the Shower </strong>I told her that I needed to write an adventure series for boys. She didn't say much to that other than, yes you do. I visited with her and family and came back to Columbia Saturday evening/night. Sunday night when I was supposed to be sleeping I was very restless so started brainstorming about titles for the new series. I decided it would be cool to do a compass directional type series since I already had West as one title. <br />
<br />
The next one that popped into my head immediately was North. <strong>North of North </strong>came to mind due to the fact that if you locate North, SC, on the map you will see that it is actually south of some small towns as well as Columbia (Swansea and Gaston are actually a bit west and south of Columbia but they are north of North, SC). <br />
<br />
Now that I had two titles, I had to find South and East. From days as a medical transcriptionist and having many unusual town names dictated and not knowing the states or areas that well, I had a website that I used quite often to look up town name spellings. I got on the internet on my phone (if we had wifi in the shelter, I would be on my computer all the time when I wasn't working) and pulled up the website I was in need of and went to South Carolina and then clicked on the E listings. The first town that caught my eye was Eagle Point, but then I found a better one. So, <strong>East of Effingham</strong> was the next title I came up with. Effingham is the home of McCall Farms where they employ over 800 people in the plant. They are known for canned foods like the Glory foods and boiled peanuts and tons of other products everyone is familiar with. <br />
<br />
Now for south. I had to have a cool name that would attract boys' attention. I wrote down Snow Junction first and then scrolled a little more and found the coolest name of a town yet. I have since found out that this town really doesn't have much in the way of being a populated town at all. I've been told there is only a park located at the place that is named as a town. I've also been told that James Brown (the "I Feel Good" singer) was born near this town. Less than 20 miles from this town is the Savannah River Site. The town's name, you ask? Spiderweb. My south book will be titled <strong>South of Spiderweb </strong>with the adventure having to do with the Savannah River Site or the "future city" competition that is held each year for middle grade students. <br />
<br />
North is a railroad town and so I'm thinking the adventure will have to occur in Swansea or Gaston which are both north of North and possibly be railroad related. Effingham being a farm town will probably be something 4H related or some sort of farm type competition with the students working on something to help the environment. Wateree will be a junior park ranger or something on those lines adventure. <br />
<br />
The characters names will be alliterative to the titles so for <strong>South of Spiderweb</strong> I have Sean Southers; for <strong>North of North</strong> the name will be Nolan Norris (Norris means north); <strong>East of Effingham</strong> will feature Ethan Easton; and <strong>West of Wateree</strong> a simple name Wade West (sounds like a play on words having to do with water).<br />
<br />
I have signed up for Camp NaNo which starts July 1; the goal is 20,000 words for me (5000 words per story, but may have to make them a bit longer. These will be illustrated stories so I hope to end up between 100 and 150 written pages with illustrations interspersed throughout the stories. Chasity Nicole is already sort of brainstorming the covers for me so once I actually have a cover or two I can share with you. <br />
<br />

Waiting on proof copies to get here (should be here tomorrow or Thursday) so I can review the print and make sure everything is okay and then approve it so that it will be ready to put out there.<br />
<br />
This story was written in 2014 when Anderson County experienced an algae in the water issue and had to flush the whole system, unbeknownst to me while I was away for a book event; so upon returning to Anderson and turning on my shower the next day, it sounded like a moose in my shower. Thus the story was written. In 2015, I asked my friend Anita Fricks to do the illustrations and she agreed to do so. She did the black and white pictures that year but didn't get the coloring done until 2017. So now, I have a completed story with illustrations and I'm so excited about it.<br />
<br />
I have two events scheduled in April so I will have copies on hand to sell at those events. The book is twofold - the first part is the story with the color illustrations and the second part is the black and white illustrations for the kids to color and find the hidden moose in the pictures (there is at least one hidden moose in all but 2 or 3 of the 14 illustrations; some have more than one and one is a bit tricky as it isn't actually a "moose" but a play on the word (think dessert and in a refrigerator). I'm really excited to get back to my writing and publishing again. <br />
<br />
This is the full cover (as I haven't figured out how to do just the front cover yet for ebooks yet).<br />

Shortly after that I was evicted due to not being able to pay the rent due to not having a job. I stayed with a friend for a few months but because her ex-husband was being a total butthead, I lost that place to live. During the time I stayed with her I lost my mother (she had dementia but the pneumonia and her giving up the will to live is what she succumbed to). After leaving my friend's, I was in a homeless shelter and did get a new job (after almost 8 months of not working) as a CNA (went to school during the summer and was certified the day before my mother passed). While staying at the homeless shelter, there was a bed bug issue (they had already had an issue prior to me coming there but because one of my clients was found to have bed bugs, I was accused of bringing the bed bugs into the facility), I lost my father and on my way back from his funeral I was notified I no longer had a place to live due to the bed bug issue and me being the common denominator. In turn because I had no place to live, I lost my job.<br />
<br />
I stayed at the church for a week and a half so that I could attend the last two scheduled events of the year (Pendleton Holiday Market on the Green the two Saturdays before Christmas). The Sunday after the last event, which was the week before Christmas, I came to Columbia to stay with my aunt (my mom's twin sister) until I could find a place to live or make other living arrangements. She and I had a little fight and I ended up living in my van for a short period of time. As of the writing of this post, I have gotten a job (employed the first part of January) and have been living in a homeless shelter since the middle of January. Not that I want to be in a shelter but I'm thankful for a bed and a place to take a shower and do my laundry. <br />
<br />
The year wasn't a total loss as I did gain a daughter (my baby got married) and a beautiful granddaughter. My mother never did get to see her before she passed but I don't think she would have known that was her great granddaughter if she had seen her. My father got to see the baby at my mother's funeral so I'm thankful he did get that opportunity. <br />
<br />
I was a daddy's girl and at this writing do miss him. I've thought of calling him several times only to realize he isn't there any more. The year 2016 was a rough year but this year will be better and is already proving to be so in a few ways.<br />
<br />

I realized I had given half my life at the time to the same man and became overwhelmed with this thought. I wrote a story about how I managed to make it through that many years married to a manic-depressive. At first I only thought I wrote the story for myself but then I shared it with a few friends who believed the story would touch many lives who had been in a similar situation. I had submitted it to one anthology but didn't make it in that one so submitted to another anthology and it was accepted. Today, the release of <strong>We've All Been There: Tales of Tenacity</strong> has come to fruition. <br />
<br />
All the proceeds from the sales of this book are going to <a href="http://www.projectsemicolon.org/" target="_blank">Project Semicolon</a> which is a group that encourages those with mental illnesses to reach out and get help, no matter what form it comes in but not to feel like you are in this alone. The stories in the book are by no means exclusive of situations that we have faced but are out there to also encourage others to know that they are not alone and they can make it through anything life has thrown their way.<br />
<br />

If you can contribute or can recommend someone who can contribute, please stop by <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/vbteh2uc" target="_blank">here</a> and leave a donation. Every little bit helps get me closer to paying her off. <br />
<br />
I've opened my TeachersPayTeachers store for my state stories to start selling in digital format. Once the first illustrator is paid off, I will be getting that series back on track with (hopefully) three republished titles this year and at least the four new ones next year and probably two to four more as well (depending on how quickly my illustrator can get things done and how quickly I can format the stories for publication). So if you have been following the Junior Geography Detective Squad (JGDS), 50-state, mystery, trivia series, please stop by the store and help me build my followers. Also, please help spread the word to all teachers (especially social studies teachers) and homeschoolers that you know who would like to supplement their social studies curriculum with a fun state mystery series. The files include the book specific study guides, all for one low price. You can find my TpT store <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Ma-America" target="_blank">here</a> and the more followers I have the better as you will receive updates when new items are added to the store.<br />
<br />
The last thing is the Decatur Book Festival - the place I got my start when the first state story was first published under a publisher. I've wanted to participate several years since then but haven't been able to afford it. This year I get to participate with two groups so will be represented in two different booths. The Sisters in Crime Atlanta chapter has asked the Palmetto chapter (SC) and the Upstate chapter (SC) as well as the Low Country chapter (SC/GA) and a chapter in Tennessee to participate with them in a booth. I've already filled out my survey and hope to be hearing back from them soon about how they are going to do participation and what not. <br />
<br />
I'm also a member of the YA Authors Rendezvous group and one of the members actually lives about 45 minutes from Decatur and we're going to have a YAAR booth as well; of course with the help of the other members so as to keep cost to each of us low. You can check out the group's website <a href="http://yaarendezvous.com/" target="_blank">here</a> and see what we have to offer. A huge variety from paranormal to children's to everything in between geared for the younger readers. <br />
<br />
I know it sounds kind of crazy to be in two booths at the same time but here is the breakdown - The Kelly Watson stories and Imogene will be in the Sisters in Crime booth; the Kelly Watson series, A Moose in the Shower and the state stories published up to that time will be in the YAAR booth. I will also help in both booths as needed but more than likely more in the YAAR booth than the Sisters in Crime booth as I think it will be a bit crowded with all the folks who will be represented from 5 chapters (as well as the national organization being promoted) to be there. I've been ecstatic since finding out about being in Decatur again this year. I've a lot of work ahead of me in the upcoming months so I should sign off now and get some shuteye so that I can start anew tomorrow, working on my crochet projects that need completing as well as some writing projects. See you all in the postings - E :) elysabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15462854.post-37916341909186563542016-01-12T23:47:00.001-05:002016-01-12T23:47:43.851-05:00Two Fundraising CampaignsHey All,<br />
<br />
I started two gofundme fundraising campaigns Sunday morning. One is more in need of being funded immediately; the second one has roughly a 6 month time period. <br />
<br />
First the immediate one - my youngest son is getting married in February; the soon to be daughter-in-law wants a bridal shower and my daughter, Hailie, and I are planning the bridal shower. The shower is to be held 5 days before the wedding (wedding date is February 18 with shower date February 13 - I know the Saturday before Valentine's day). With a little help from my friends and readers out there, we should be able to raise enough to host the bridal shower. I just found out last week the other Hallie's (my soon to be daughter-in-law) brother is running a gofundme campaign to pay for the wedding. So please help out. Click <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/w3eedbe4" target="_blank">here</a> to help with the bridal shower and click <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/2yfqb544" target="_blank">here</a> to help the wedding campaign. <br />
<br />
The other campaign I'm running is to help pay off my prior illustrator as I have gotten in arrears and need to clear her up before moving on to the new illustrator (at a much better cost to me and probably one I'll campaign to fund later as the need arises once this first one is cleared up). I'm running it through June and hopefully will be able to start around August with the new illustrator so I can get the 50-state mystery series back on track. If you have a little extra and would like to help fund that, please click <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/vbteh2uc" target="_blank">here</a> and help. Any donation will be much appreciated. <br />
<br />
Lots of good things coming up as previously noted. I formatted the <strong>Moose</strong> story today in publisher and will probably need to do a little tweaking once I get the illustrations but I'm excited to take on this adventure with Anita Fricks. <br />
<br />
I have one other story I'm in the processing of editing to submit to an anthology. This story was written in 2014 five days short of our supposed to be 25th anniversary and I had a meltdown and sat and wrote about 4500 words over a 2-hour period. I felt relief once I wrote the story and hadn't intended to really share it with anyone but a few special people and then I gave it to Anita and she edited it and has given me a second run through now so I have a few changes or tweaks to make to it before considering submitting it for the one anthology. This story may show up in two anthologies depending on how I feel once I've edited it. I needed to get this out of my system to move on with my life and I have. My mental health has improved since writing the story. Now to just get my physical health and finances back on track I'll be good as gold or right as rain. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for continuing to follow me even though I haven't been a regular poster. You all are truly angels in my life just for believing in my books. If you haven't already picked up a copy of <strong>The Ties of Time</strong>, the second in the Kelly Watson YA Paranormal Mystery series, it is available in all formats except audible, which is the next thing on my list once I have cleared a few other projects out. <br />
<br />
Please pass the word about my fundraising campaigns and thank you all in advance for helping out anyway you can. See you all in the postings.

I have some updates for all of you.<br />
<br />
First, my youngest son is getting married February 18 with a baby due around the end of May. My soon to be daughter-in-law is just as sweet as she can be. I'm excited to get to know her more.<br />
<br />
Both my sons now officially live in Greenville which is much closer to me than when they lived in Hickory. <br />
<br />
My daughter lives around the corner and has just recently purchased a car and we are fighting the contract because she got scammed and bullied into taking this vehicle at $450/month payments. What's being financed is almost 3 vehicles which is totally outrageous.<br />

<br />
I had all the kids and significant others together for Christmas dinner the day after Christmas. I got called grandma by the oldest son's girlfriend's 3yo son, which came as natural as you please. My heart swelled and I felt accepted at that moment. <br />
<br />
On the writing agenda, there is a lot going on this year with some exciting news for my JGDS series. For the update on that drop over <a href="http://jgdsseries.blogspot.com/2016/01/exciting-news.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see what's happening. <br />

<strong>The Ties of Time</strong> has been print published since the middle of December and ebook published since the first part of November and sales have been very slim on that book but hopefully once the third one in the series is out the sales will take off. But <strong>Dark Truths</strong> will be the last in the series and my heart is still and has been with the JGDS series (as you can see from the linked posting above). <br />
<br />
Publications this year will include <strong>Dark Truths</strong>, the third and final in the Kelly Watson YA paranormal mystery series, <strong>Imogene: Innocence Lost</strong>, and a children's picture book, <strong>A Moose in the Shower</strong>, along with republishing several in the JGDS series. <br />

Once these projects are off the table, I'm going to concentrate on the children's state mystery series for a while and see how long before I can have all 50 books published. Hope you all keep following me through this busy, chaotic, fun time. See you all in the postings. Mrs. E :) <br />

<br />
I know I haven't posted much this year but it's been a whirlwind year as I have gotten back into doing events and writing books. In case you missed it, <strong>The Ties of Time</strong>, the second in the Kelly Watson YA Paranormal mystery series, finally published in print. I'm awaiting my small order that I placed last week. No fretting though the books will get here when they get here. If you are still in need of a gift, remember books do make great gifts. No guarantees as to when they will ship but ebooks are always available and if you purchase <strong>The Ties of Time</strong> ebook and send me a copy of your receipt, you will receive a free ebook of <strong>Finally Home</strong>. <br />
<br />
I've also been busy crocheting and creating items for all the events I've been doing including my market bags or library book tote bags or whatever you decide to use them for and have added several new colors to the bookworm colors for a total of 24 colors available now. I found an angel ornament pattern I like and have been busy with the angels until recently. <br />
<br />
I have started <strong>Dark Truths</strong>, the third in the Kelly Watson YA paranormal mystery series, but haven't worked on it much of late but that will be one of my first projects in the new year to get that series completed. I will also be working on <strong>Imogene: Innocence Lost</strong> in the upcoming year. Those are my two goals for next year, writing wise that is. I'm also making a resolution to post more on my blog and I'm starting a mailchimp campaign so that my followers will get updates as I post them. A few changes, hopefully in the right direction. <br />
<br />
I've also become a member of the YA Author Rendezvous group and have started following several of those folks (more to come, I'm sure) and have found that the group is such a wonderful supportive group with loads of information available. There will be more from this group too as I'll share postings and other information as available. If you haven't read Kimberly Readnour's series, I recommend it even though as of now I've only read the first one - <strong>Visions.</strong> There are almost 80 authors in this group and we are all about promoting YA authors. If you get a chance to check out the <a href="http://yaarendezvous.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, I highly recommend that you just pop over for a browse. You never know what new author you will discover. <br />
<br />
My biggest announcement is that I'm going to be a first-time grandmother next year. My youngest son and his fiancée are expecting in May and they are planning on tying the knot in February. So I'm gaining a daughter and new grandbaby within the first part of the year. <br />
<br />
Below are the covers and other items I've been working on. <br />
<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since taking this picture of the bookworms, I have added several colors and sold out of a couple with one or two being replaced. I will have to do an updated picture of all the colors on my board (after I do a new display board for my samples to showcase all my new colors). </div>

This is one of the market bags - all are 100% cotton and machine washable - all measure about the same size as a plastic grocery bag. They are very sturdy and several have sold. If interested in purchasing these bags, please inquire as to other colors or check out my facebook page, photos, albums to see what is available. </div>

<br />
The Ties of Time has been out for 4 weeks now and I have only had one sale across the board. If you haven't read Finally Home yet, now is your chance to get it for free. Purchase a copy of The Ties of Time (available on all ereaders), send me an email (<a href="mailto:eeldering@gmail.com">eeldering@gmail.com</a>) of the proof of purchase, put - Redeem Coupon - in the subject line and I'll send you a copy of Finally Home for free. Both are stand alone stories in the series - different mysteries being solved but are tied together by recurring characters, Kelly and Emma. <br />
<br />
I'm awaiting finalization on the full cover to send to createspace for review so I can order my proof copy and hope to have The Ties of Time in print within the next week or so. Orders are being taken - $14.50 (includes shipping cost); if wanting a print copy, just email me with <u>Ties of Time order</u> in the subject line and include your mailing address and to whom I should make the book out to and I'll send out as soon as I have copies on hand. <br />
<br />
Here is the almost final full cover for Ties of Time - <br />

<br />
<br />
I think Chasity_Nicole on <a href="http://www.fiverr.com/">www.fiverr.com</a> has done a great job - working with a premade front cover (purchased a while back from one site) in order to come up with a full cover. She will be designing some covers for me (for only $5 for ebook covers and $10 for full covers - you can't beat that price) in the near future. <br />
<br />

<br />
I've uploaded <strong>The Ties of Time </strong>to kindle and Draft2Digital so it should be available for purchase within 24 hours (at least on kindle). It's been a long time coming and hope all my readers will enjoy it. I hope to have it in print within the next few weeks (that's another thing I have to work on is formatting my own books and it may take a little longer for me to do so). Happy reading - see you all in the postings - Mrs. E :) elysabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15462854.post-43463390967779004992015-10-02T23:15:00.001-04:002015-10-02T23:20:53.979-04:00HOLIDAY SHOPPINGNow is the time to start your holiday shopping.

I need to raise $600 by Monday morning in order to not be evicted. My friend from Journey Road Arts started a "$5 campaign" fund to my paypal (<a href="mailto:eeldering@gmail.com">eeldering@gmail.com</a>). If anyone would like to help the cause, please contribute $5 and let's see how much this can grow. Here is my current progress:
<a href="http://www.abcfundraising.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="fundraising ideas for schools, churches, and youth sports teams" border="0" src="http://www.westonradcliffe.com/thermometer/thermo.php?current=20&max=600&unit=36&color=therm.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.abcfundraising.com/">ABC Fundraising®</a></span><br />
<br />
If anyone would like to receive something in return for their contribution, please put the word "bookworms" in the body of the paypal and I will send you 3 randomly chosen bookworms. Again, thank you all for your contribution and help with this. :) elysabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15462854.post-4494663890368994842015-02-28T12:51:00.001-05:002015-02-28T12:51:39.522-05:00Writers On The Move: Unravel the Mystery of Suspense, Part 1Drop by and see how Linda Wilson breaks down the various mystery categories.
