ON HIATUS

Hello everyone!

I'm pained to deliver news today that while the blog was back up and running, I have to step back for a few weeks.

1 - I'm headed off to the OzarkCreativeWriters conference. I so need this weekend more than ever.
2 - I received word this morning my oldest sister has passed. Her death was unexpected. Thankfully, I have Bob's help today as I try to organize and pack for the conference
3 - Bob is home until the 22nd. He leaves back out on his birthday.
I am reminded yet again just how precious time is with our loved ones and I'm going to spend every minute smothering him with love while he's home... you know, like I always do. He is my hero, afterall.

I hope you'll excuse me and allow me this time to grieve and regroup.

Blessings
Angela

ON HIATUS

THIS WEEK ONLY!

Every time I tried to work this week something has gone wrong - and it's only Tuesday!

Seems like every time I sit down to dive in the deep end and get stuff caught up, 

Life Happens!

With things already getting in the way

~like a power outage yesterday and unexpected computer updates today ~

I'm not going to stress about getting stuff up at all this week.

I don't have any authors lined up for the next couple of weeks.
This week is all about lining up great guests as well as getting a stream in place.

I'm going to lay the ground work for scheduled posts NEXT WEEK.

Then next week I can get the posts up for the week after that... and so on.

In honor of the new Duke & Duchess of Sussex
here's a Hallmark movie clip for you:

A CHANGE IS COMING!

Sometimes, an author has to drift through the ranks and industry before finding where they belong. For the longest time I thought writing romance meant I had to have in depth love scenes to sell a book. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the story calls for something a little more than just listening through the keyhole.

For me, I'm finding what I enjoy writing the most, are the same types of movies I enjoy watching on television. The sweet, lasting kind of love. Love that comes from the heart first. Hallmark type stories.

My phrase has always been 'Love is sweeter the second time'. I still believe that. Whether that means a renewed love with an old flame or finding a new 'soul mate' after the loss of someone special.

Changes are also happening here on the home front. The schedule Bob has worked with for the past eleven years is changing.. along with a move to a new company. His schedule change means shifts in how I do my routine here at home.

So until he finds his footing with the new job, I am putting this blog on Hiatus. The time off will give me the opportunity to clean house here, brighten the place up a bit and reveal a softer side of Angela Drake... the side I want to market to editors, agents and most importantly, my readers.

When I do come back, I will be lining up guest spots and hoping to be a guest for others. I will also be offering something for FREE available only to my subscribers. So while you are here, please submit your address in the place given on my sidebar so you do not miss out.

I hope you'll pop in on occasion and watch my social media sites - @AngelaDrakeA (twitter) and https://www.facebook.com/AngelaDrake.author/

Creative Blessings!
