Once upon a clear dark night an elderly man with a wicked cat who ate all of his freshly caught shrimp in a most peculiar, yet satisfyingly white china bowl.
There were sounds outside his window as the wind turbine that spins came crashing down scattering the crows. The sounds of wings, furious and flapping came through the darkness.
And with that become clear that the old man's home was not a good place, not like before.

I'm editing an e-book I intend to publish in the next few months - 'Thinking of You'. It is a love/romance story set in the country.
Main character's name is Nicole Horscroft. She is caught in the middle of a love triangle between brothers who believe they are cousins.
Nicole's character, as are all the characters in the story, were based on life experiences of mine, my family and I even used my ancestral family name 'Horscroft' as the family name of the main character's family.
She begins as an immature natured character, very sheltered and protected by her two brothers, heiress of the family fortune - but there's a catch. She has to marry a man her father has 'sold' her to, in order to redeem the family estate. She is head strong, rebellious and has trust issues, not very many friends outside her immediate family and neighbouring farms. But when she is brutally hurt by her ex-fiancé, she discovers she has a strength she never knew she had.
She grows up mentally as a character and by the end of the book she is strong enough to make her own decisions, run a farm and say goodbye to the love of her life.
This story, like most of mine, are strangely enough inspired by music. I am one of those writers that can't think in a quiet room. I need emotional stimulation, and get that through music. Katy Perry's hit 'Thinking of you' was the inspiration behind the love theme of this story, as well as Rascal Flats, Tim McGraw and Plumb.
I was also personally going through a marriage break up and divorce at the time of writing the book, so I found a lot of useful energy right there.
If you'd like to check out some of my other work, follow the link in my profile to my blog (I'm not a blogger - I'm just not into journals - but I post info there about my work) or feel free to check out my facebook page by searching cowgirlbrumby for new releases.

Good article for anyone considering self-publishing...and btw, I wouldn't recommend it, though I hate to give advice...
I particularly like the part in here about "and don't expect all your Facebook friends to buy it"...

Very handy advice to have. The more effort you put into your work and the greater your network for spreading your news, the better your chances are of being seen. I wonder if Oprah is free this weekend? I have my first e-book coming out. LOL

Whenever anybody asks me my favorite color.. I always say "grey".. they look at me like I'm an idiot.. and then they say "with all the colors of the rainbow why would I pick grey?".. and I say.. "because it's the color behind the rainbow"..
I always have said that life is lived in the grays - there are miles of varying shades from the black to the white.
my random blurt today is ....
I just love making a big Mexican dinner - chicken enchiladas with spicy rice and cucumber salad ............. and Corona beer and margaritas for the adventerous!!
Buen provecho!!
