Spending time at a block party

So, I had the opportunity to sell A Beautiful Girl at the The Treehouse's 10th Anniversary block party.  It was pretty neat handing out bookmarks and talking to many people about this incredible story.  If I met you today, don't forget to check out Amazon and Smashwords for the electronic version.  If you'd like the paperback, go to my website's store.

Just finished my online interview at the Author's Lounge with Dr. Lila Robinson.

So, I said a little prayer and dialed the number for my 9pm interview.  One would think nerves wouldn't be a factor when you can do an interview from the comfort of your home, but one would be wrong.  I soon relaxed though, as I waited for someone to answer.  Once the conversation started, I forgot all about the nerves and spoke about a story that has a place in my heart: "A Beautiful Girl."

It's amazing how quickly an hour flies by when talking about something I enjoy.  I introduced my characters and the things that drive them to be who they are.  If you missed it live, check out the Author's Lounge w/Cassandra Ulrich for the interview.  It's already there.

Where did the time go? So much has happened.

So, the last time I posted something, my teen romance, Love's Intensity, was in the middle of edits.  Well, the edits are now complete and the manuscript is with the proofreader.  The cover has also been approved.  If you'd like a sneak peek at it, "like" the event, Who wants to see the cover for "Love's Intensity"?  I'll reveal it when the count reaches 100.

While I'm waiting to hear about the release date, I've been busy recording A Beautiful Girl for those who'd prefer listening than reading.  With only two sessions done, it'll be a while, so stay tuned.

In addition, I'm still working on the Navy SEAL story.  It's coming together.  I'm grateful to the critiques from members of my writer's group.

I intend on using the knowledge gained my POV course to help me improve my writing.  The learning never ends.

Oh, one last thing.  If you've read A Beautiful Girl, be sure to go to the following sites to leave a review:  at Amazon, at Smashwords, at Goodreads, and Barnes and Noble.

Thanks in advance.

Spring is almost here!

Two weeks after finishing an online marketing class, I have already finished my first assignment in my class on POV (point of view).  The next two weeks are going to be busy.

The teen romance is back with the editor, four weeks of updates applied.  Looking forward to the next stage.  Of course, I'm also working on other manuscripts: 1) Navy SEAL, 2) a single mom's second chance at love, and 3) a post Civil War story.

I like how writing relaxes me.  It gives me a break form dealing with numbers and logic all day.

In addition, I now have a review of my book on my website's store: http://cassandraulrich.com/estore/.  Go have a look.

As if I weren't busy enough...

I've been editing two stories: one for a publisher and the other for a writer's group.  In addition to my day job, I participate in as many book events as possible.  I'm even in two choirs.  So, understand my surprise when a friend asked me if I'd be interested in narrating a play.  I politely declined this great opportunity.  Maybe next time.  There is just so much I can fit into my schedule when my brain keeps creating scenes to stories on a daily basis.  Yep, that's my life as a writer.

Remembering Heritage and Love.

It's been a busy year so far.  Yesterday, February 16th, I attended the Heritage Cultural Book Fair at Burlington County College in Pemberton, NJ and had the pleasure of seeing/hearing Fannie Lou Hamer as performed by Alma Day.  What an absolute pleasure to see history unfold before my eyes!

This followed a week of celebrating love.  Red was the color of choice for many in the form of cards, clothes, boxes of chocolates, and, of course, roses.  On February 14th, I took a break from editing my teen romance to enjoy time with family.  We can all use a break from the busyness of life sometimes.

So, now that the euphoric feelings has calmed a bit, I look toward to diving into that teen romance, intending to make it a novel no one wants to put down - kind of like the last novel I wrote.  Stay tuned for more about this story.

Check out my Come Meet Me tab for upcoming events.

Enjoy the rest of February and the diverse world around you.

Happy New Year! I'm on Twitter!

December has been a month filled with extreme happiness and extreme sadness.  I'm so grateful to God for helping me through no matter the situation.

So, now a new year has begun and I've finally created twitter [CassandraUlric1] and facebook celebrity [Cassandra Ulrich, Author] pages.

I'm still working consistently on the teen romance, with less than 100 pages of updating left before sending back to the editor.  I actually teared up during one of the highly emotional scenes.

That's all for now.  Have a great day.
