- About Me:
- I am an unemployed teacher and new to writing. I started writing about a dream when I was about 25 but then lost the drive to pursue it further. Now at 38, I am again giving it a go. This time that one 'dream' idea has sprouted into 3 more stories that continues a guardian's curse paranormal romance that I incorporated into my original 'dream' story. I don't know where all of this will take me next, but at the very least I will have fun doing it and sharing it with friends.
- Favorite Books:
- Most paranormal romance novels (Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Brenda Joyce...)
Pride and Prejudice
Shogun

I'm Moving on Up...
Well, a little anyway. I updated my Anything Vampires and Paranormal Romance blog and started a twittering. I then searched for my name and online name, sandrajg23, on Google. My eyes popped open when my Book Place page appeared. I haven't written much on here, but I guess that will change. I need to build my brand for when I eventually sub. to publishers. I have a long way to go but every tiny step now will benefit my platform later.

The Guardian's Curse Series
That series concept has become the drive behind my writing.

If you sign in/ become a fan for any or all of my sites, then I would certainly return the favor.

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
