 February, 2009. My first book, Zakia and the Cowboy, was released in October, 2011. Although my English and comprehensive skills have always been excellent, I had a lot to learn. It’s been a busy few years, but I’m loving it.
7. What method did you choose and why?
Like every aspiring romance writer, I aimed for Harlequin. I entered pitches and contests, won a couple, but publication still evaded me. I had so many stories written by then, that I decided to shop them around elsewhere. In my opinion, print books will never die, but ebooks are selling strong right now. Evernight is a great publisher to work with. Very efficient. To expand my reader base, I now have contracts with Breathless Press and Ruby Lioness Press.
Might I also add patience and a thick skin? You also need a good critique partner or partners, someone who will give you an honest critique of your writing, whether you’re ready to hear it or not.
And be ready to promote. Build you fan base now to help reduce stress later.
I love Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, Mary Higgins-Clark, John Grisham, and James Patterson, just to name a few.
10. Here’s a sampling of Lorraine’s work.
Hawk’s Woman, a western historical short, is my contribution to Evernight’s Virgins Behaving Badly anthology.
Book 5 in my series with Evernight, Cameron’s Quest, is in the works. Cameron Manning is part owner of the Thunder Creek Ranch and has returned from his travels abroad. His is a story that includes family secrets, lost love, and murder.
Books 6-10 are hazy, but a distinct possibility.
And then there’s the possibility of: Thunder Creek: The Next Generation.
As long as the characters keep talking and my readers keep wanting more, I’ll keep writing. There is definitely a world of possibilities in Thunder Creek.
Her Unlikely Bodyguard, releasing June 15th.
Blessed Homecoming, releasing July 13th.
Love on the Rocks, releasing August 10th.
Finding Baby J, September 7th.
No release date as yet for the Hudsons.
Blurbs and excerpts can be found on Lorraine’s website, listed below.
Do you have any questions you’d like to ask Lorraine?
Thank you Lorraine for being my first guest in my women writer series!
 Write on my friends, write on!

Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict

Answer:
Groupe de travail du Conseil de sécurité sur les enfants et les conflits armésJeannine Wise is with us today on The SHAIR Podcast. SHAIR was one of the first resources Jeannine found when she was trying to get traction in early sobriety. She is our first guest from Refuge Recovery, a Buddhist-inspired recovery pathway. For those having problems connecting with traditional rehab or twelve step programs, the Refuge Recovery is an option that may resonate with you.
Jeannine shares the incredible insights she’s learned during her two years of sobriety. She reveals how her addiction was like being purified by fire, and how she transcended her pain to grow into the person she was meant to be.
The secret of plants in the environment is like a bible for plant lovers. If you are into plants or want to have your own, then this book is for you. You can learn so much from this book, from plant temperature change to drought, magnetic fields, salts, plant adaptations, and waterlogging.
Plants are the fundamental aspect of our biosphere. We must understand how the environment and stresses can affect their growth and even modify the species.
The book is mainly a collection of the author’s observations, knowledge, experience and knowledge regarding plants and their environment. It provides a synthesis of knowledge on the adaptation pathways induced by environmental changes, and it is essential to know these things because plants are part of our survival too.
I recommend this book to landscapers, plant lovers and environmentalists.
JPEG maniputation library?
I'm working on a couple of projects that involve manipulating JPEG files "losslessly" (without decoding and reencoding). Specifically, one involves rearranging DCT blocks in the image, and the other involves tweaking the Huffman tables. Before I go too far down the path of extracting the JPEG parser from jpeg-decoder or writing my own basic parser, is there any existing JPEG manipulation library for Rust that I could leverage?
I've got mozjpeg-sys crate that will give you raw libjpeg API, but libjpeg is unpleasant to work with.By the way, Happy New Year!!!
It looks interesting for on the go, but especially interesting for use if you have an oops while doing your nails, because it always goes awry if you have to use a cotton pad with remover only on one nail! With this brush, no more cotton fuzzies due to my impatience! But it does seem a bit on the expensive site for a remover, how much is in it?
The bottle contains 10ml of product and yeah, the price tag is indeed on the high side. So, I think it would be something that one would use ocassionally when one is on the move. At home, I would prefer to use a conventional nail polish remover.
Well, that top coat thing was just an accidental discovery. Haha!
It looks very elegant. Definitely for a girl on the move, like you say.
