Tunsiumi Charity's

Hello this is Princess, I ask to do this blog as she and I are very worried over our friends in Japan. Sadly not a word, I do my paw prayers for their safety. We have checked all the links and yet nothing. Please pray for all the people and animals of Japan. Also please pray for all the people in every place who are suffering.
I found these sites that are legitimate. Always check any site that wants money sadly so many greedy humans. Here is video by Mr. George Takei. You may know him from Star Trek. He has a list of good charity's on his short video.
Well as a Princess with many wonderful corgi friends in Japan please help the animals, check out these sites.

Art, Dollar store books, Book fair & life this week.

 What a week. I was thrilled to have so much support by a local place here in Tucson, The Source Salon. All kinds of artist have their work there & you can get a fab style to your hair. So if your here visit the shop, The Source on Speedway cool place.

So I was asked whats your thoughts on the 99 cent books. Well like a dollar store you get what you pay for. Some are good and the writers need the money. Others well not so good. Its up to you. I say check out their blogs and do research into them. Also if they say they have many awards easy to check go to the award web site. If they are not on the short list no they are not up for it. Sadly many are not honest. Me no awards yet! I hope someday!

Well we have a huge Book Fair here in Tucson, Arizona this weekend. Many great writers will be here to chat with and sign your book. I will be there too. So come up and say Hi, I will give you a bookmark. No joke. I will be there on Saturday and I look just like the picture on my blog. The times I am there will be on twitter, check my tweets. You can't me miss tall blond who talks funny.

OK I have game for you. I have 3 special bookmarks signed by me of my book 'Dust of Tombstone' I will sign them to you personally all you have to is answer 3 questions, follow me on twitter and @Kittycorgi, and tell me who was the main character in my book is, the name of my corgi and what happened to the main character in the end. I will announce the winners on Sunday March 13, about noon my time. I will post off to you the bookmark signed to you, easy as that.

So let me hear from you. Any questions?

You could win this bookmark only three like this.

Answers to Questions I was ask.

In the last few says I was ask a few questions. I am not used to that. So here are a few....

How do you get ideas?   I get many of my ideas in day to day life. I am working on story that was inspired by a place I drive by anytime I go into town. I also am very lucky and have travel in my life some places just stick with you. As I have said London is like walking on history very inspiring place. Read Oscar Wilde makes you think even today. I write what I know about.

Does technology inspire you?   Not really. Its a tool. I don't rely on it. I fear many think they will get facts when in fact Wikipedia isn't always right. I do have a set of encyclopedia's also Dictionary and my favorite Thesaurus. I think YouTube is fun but I agree with King on it.

Is it hard to write a book?   Yes and no depends on the story. My book I wrote in a notebook, then on the computer, then had read it by 3 people, off to an editor, back read again. By the time it was out I was sick of it. I don't mind the research. I have read a few things that all I could say was what? There is a lot that goes into writing a book or even a short story. I do like my book again, its not perfect maybe, who is?

Why scary?  I grew up with a ghost. I love ghost. I also have a dark side. I was the kid who loved all the Vincent Price bad movies of Edgar Allen Poe. I also was a reader, if you write you must read. Yes Halloween is my favorite holiday. I have a Halloween village, I have costumes its just good fun. If I scare the kids down the street all the better.

Do you have a question for me? Look forward to hearing from. Just remember things that go bump in the night also go bump in the daylight. Its not always dust floating by you....

Birthdays, writing and telling you what I think again! Beatles poster.

I have a busy week here. First two birthday at my house Son & V are now 25 years old. Which I find hard to understand after all I can't be that old yet. Its also my favorite Beatles George Harrison's birthday today. I still have the posters from the Beatles Apple store in London, I got them on opening day.  Tomorrow is another anniversary 30 years, yes I have heard the joke you get less for murder.
Well I have talked to some really nice people. I am looking forward to working with them on this short stories book. I did get good advice do not rush it. I have also gotten a review saying my book wasn't good. This person said he didn't know how to put it. That is alright.
If you read a book and do not like it to me the best to tell the person. You don't have to scream and shout and be hateful. I know we see that so much now a days. Flipping telly channels you have people yelling about sport, religion or news. I don't believe the louder you yell or tell a lie makes it the truth. So please be kind and say I didn't care for your book because it.... specifically the charters, location, story line. I also have read a books the you could tell were formula written. You can do a step by step almost like paint by numbers. YIKES! If its some part your very knowledgeable about be exact. Generality's and being vague can make one believe you didn't read the book. I worked hard on my book I checked all locations, visited them as well. I believe research is very important in any piece of work you put out. I tell a person how I feel with kind words. I always say how would I want to be told this. My writing comes from my gut not a step by step out line you buy. If you have read my two short stories on this blog let me know what you think of them. I know also not everyone is going to love every thing I write. Thats all right if we all loved the same things just imagine how boring this world would be. I also have read some really cool things which were pleasant surprises, Draven your story!
I have a short story to finish. I also was kindly given a book to read by another writer before its out. I have a good feeling about it. So next weekend I will start reading it. When I am told go for it tell everyone I will tell you all about it.
As always I want to say thank you for your support and many kind words to me. I am always so grateful to others who can be bothered to take their time for me. Life is so very short I try to live each to its fullest. Have a great week. Let me know what your thinking. Any questions? Say HI to me and Smile be happy or as Monty Python says  http://t.co/dQwkzAj .

Been Writing going to Book sale You?

I am very surprised how my book is doing. So many very kind comment about the story. I am very grateful to all who so kindly tweet about. So what am I doing besides asking people to buy my book? Many things.
I went up to Phoenix last week to the annual VSNA book sale. Its a charity sale of books of every kind you can imagine. The doors open at 8 am and always a line. This year it only took an hour in line. I have many books going up for next years sale. The household WWII nut has trimmed his books down. I fear this is to add more books. I did find an first edition book by Ernie Pile. I do believe we now how all his books and first editions too boot. Also tons of maps and many free ones as well. If your in Phoenix in Feb you really need to check out this sale its only one weekend but so worth it. You will see people with shopping carts full of books, to take home. Great fun for a good cause.
This week I have had a few ideas for short stories. So I have been writing. Well I have some say I can have 5 short stories done and edited by May 1st. I will try. As for having my book done in book form. We are waiting on all the sales reports for a month. Son my boss says he feels I need to sell at least 50 print books to make it cost effective. I also hope to add a few never before seen pictures of Tombstone,Arizona. I have been asked if it was a real town still. Yes it is, thats why they call it 'The Town to Tough to Die'. So if you interested please leave a comment on here for me. If you want a signed book I would be more than happy too.
I have also been very lucky to meet many cool writers on twitter. If you can follow a Debbie Mack such a great lady. Her writing is great and very interesting just check her work out.

Have a great weekend and week. Please feel free to comment on my book here or on Amazon. Thank you for reading my book and blog. Any questions you want to ask me? 

Thank you.

Thank you all so much for your support. The book is doing surprising well. I have been ask if it will be out in a hard copy. The answer is my boss and I are looking in to that now. My son is the boss and he says we will see in a week how well 'Dust of Tombstone' does.
So I have tried to promote the book as best I can. Its not easy to say hi here look my book. I have had many have said hi back, good job, and I have to read it. Which is so nice to hear. My son has made a Facebook fan page for me. Please follow if you can. Thank you again.
I have been working a few short stories. My boss aka son says you need to get this done and out by May. OK don't count on it. I will try very hard but I am human.
So have you read my book? What do you think?

Birdcage Theater 

                                                                           one of the main characters.

Book is on Amazon, 'Dust of Tombstone'

When the past collides with the present you get....
'Dust of Tombstone'
So you’re driving on I-10 east or west, through the canyons and hills of Southern Arizona in Cochise County, you feel a gust of wind. Many signs say “Beware of wind gusts”. It is not always the wind in late afternoon or dusk. Mostly it’s the ghosts rushing back to the never-ending poker games, bottomless whiskey bottles and a party that last forever in Tombstone. Go see for yourself after the tourists have gone home for the day. Walk down Allen Street. I may say hello or you may think it is the wind. 


Thank you all very much for your support. Well at long last my book is out. If you like Ghost who go wild you will like my book. Its on Amazon here or here if you're in the UK. 


           Here is the cover.

The back inside:

I hope you buy it and let me know what you think. I am currently working on a new book of short stories by request of many. So far the the first story has creepy stuff......

OK, go read my book then come back here, what did you think?   Tell me and Amazon too.
