blank slate

All this foggy weather lately makes me want to be on the beach. Yes, fog on the beach is magical (see excerpt below from shiny bits).

Photo by Melanie Campbell
Before her was a blank slate, the world erased. Pale gray sky held the sun, wrapped in a shroud, only halfway above the tear between sea and sky. When she reached the dunes, a V of gulls drifted into view, searching for a resting place, and then vaporized like a ghost. Fog enveloped her and she was contained within it, separated from the world outside. (shiny bits in between, blank slate)

Shiny Bits Behind the Scenes Part 2--Little Yellow House

Did you know Dorie's house in Shiny Bits was based on my own little yellow house by the sea? Here it is...a nd as a bonus/extra: that amazing kitchen window I mentioned (along with a special musical accompaniment by Joe, my hubby!)  

Bolivar Peninsula Here I Come!

I made a recent trip to my beloved Bolivar to drop off some Shiny Bits paperbacks at a few local retailers. I took photos and video footage of my trip to share with my readers.  August 30th at 7 pm CST, watch my author spot at the  Literary Lockdown  Book Fair, hosted by Creative Central on Facebook for more behind-the-scenes of Shiny Bits In Between!  See you then! h 

Shiny Bits Collage

All these photos were taken on Bolivar Peninsula, Texas and reflect places and events in my novel. Each one of these images is a moment in my own life that ended up informing my writing of shiny bits in between --my homage to this extraordinary place.
