One Writer's Life -- Barbara Mountjoy

Pieces are falling into place.

This week I'm spending with a bunch of talented women at Margie Lawson's Master Immersion Program, learning to empower and expand our writing. After a few days adjusting to the different in altitude (up here, it's about 9000 feet!), I've been able to settle in and learn.

Still doing some networking with other authors and posting their work too on the Clan Elves site, sharing their good advice with all our readers.

Finally today, I found out I've had a travel article on traveling with kids in Pittsburgh published at AOL.com. Come check it out!

I can't believe it's been a month since I posted! So much to do for the book that's just come out, and the sequel I've signed a contract for, due to the editor by October. I'm setting up blog tours, offering to trade blog posts with other authors, mailing out requests for book events, and networking like crazy.

On top of that, I've now signed a contract for book #3, AND I have gotten/accepted an offer on Second Chances, my novel about a 40-something lawyer who loses her job because of the economy and has to learn to start over again, which she does with the help of a 30-year-old Iraq War veteran with cancer. The story's set in Pittsburgh, and is very close to my heart, so I'm so glad it will have a home soon.

I've scored an intern from the local business school to help develop a marketing plan and keep the promotion running. Now that there are more books coming, we need to roll!

Today I'm guest blogging at the Savvy Authors site, which I really like for what it has to offer writers. Come by and say hello!
