  • I’m at Charlie’s Place….

    August 30, 2011 /


    I’m gearing up for the Wasteland blog tour, which starts September 7th, with a warm up blog stop atSmart Girls Love SciFi. I did a little post about Hope.

    It’s kind of a theme of mine, considering I have Hope, Faith, and Love tattooed on my arm. And really, when I got to thinking about it, those themes pop up in most of my books. I’ve always been a die-hard, “There’s always hope!” with almost everything that’s happened to me in life.

    And my character, David, well, he faces some pretty big obstacles…didn’t always trust the Hope thing…

    So, I figured it’d be a fun thing to blog about.

    I’m giving away an autographed cover flat, too, so come on over and share a little bit about where your Hope comes from. You might win a prize!

  • A Dream…

    August 17, 2011 /


    Two boxes of books

    I’ve been waiting for the day my author copies of Wasteland to arrive for a couple reasons.

    One of them, you can probably guess–>The dream of publishing a book and holding it in your hands coming to fruition.

    Nice job, Charlie, laying them out

    Now that reason is a given. I’ve worked super hard, walked a path not free from bumps and bruises, but I’ve made it. With the love and support of many, many people carrying me through.

    But, a reason you might not be aware of is my mother-in-law. I shared a bit of the story back in March (CLICK HERE).

    Nice display by my sweet hubby

    Lynn Boeyink, my mother in law, is one of the main reasons I wanted to hold a book in my hand. Her namesake is on the front cover. Sure, Lynn Rush is me, but the Lynn part, that’s her.

    When she was diagnosed with cancer back in November 2010, I wanted so much to be able to hand her a book before she passed on.

    Can't forget the front and back shot....

    I really enjoyed getting to call her and tell her I signed a book deal and would be published, but trust me, handing her the actual book…MUCH BETTER!

    I was in Iowa when the books arrived, so my sweet hubby opened up the boxes for me and documented the occasion. Thanks for these pictures, hon….He quick sent me a few copies via overnight UPS, too, so I could give one to Lynn.

    That’s a memory I will forever treasure.

    We went out and celebrated with a nice Italian dinner, too:

    Lynn and Lynn!

    ~~~

    RG even had to show the chef!

    ~~~~

    Thanks for sharing this special occasion with me. To celebrate, I just might have to give one of these nice books away…what do you think??

    Okay, you convinced me.

    ****WIN A signed copy of Wasteland****

    All you have to do is leave a comment here on the blog.

    Yep, that simple.

    ~~~

    Guidelines: one entry per person, US residents only, open for entry until Friday 5pm (Pacific Time), winner announced Saturday August 20th, 2011 on the blog.
