Hi, hi - I know, I am tardy with the blogging thing. As usual. Again? Ah...I guess I need to be grounded. I would
like being grounded, because then I would get to stay home in my room. I used to get in trouble a lot as a kid (you
probably would never guess that) and so I spent a lot of alone time in my room sneaking stories or making them up.
Yes,
please - ground me already!
Marketing books is not as much fun as writing them. I love meeting readers - don't
get me wrong - but sometimes booksignings are really hard. Not everybody loves me, and this is a tough truth to swallow. Some
people really don't know the definition of the word paranormal. This is from Wikipedia, which I will now copy and
print and bring with me to all booksignings.
Paranormal is a general term that describes unusual
experiences that lack a
scientific explanation,
[1] or phenomena alleged to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure.
[2] In
parapsychology, it is used to describe the potentially
psychic phenomena of
telepathy,
extra-sensory perception,
psychokinesis,
ghosts, and
hauntings. The term is also applied to
UFOs, some creatures that fall under the scope of
cryptozoology, purported phenomena surrounding the
Bermuda Triangle, and other non-psychic subjects.
[3] Stories relating to paranormal phenomena are found in
popular culture and
folklore, but the
scientific community, as referenced in statements made by organization such as the
United States National Science Foundation, contends that
scientific evidence does not support paranormal beliefs.

So instead of just doing booksignings, I am going to start doing you tube videos. I am on
a very low budget - but if you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rez2XEUVm0 you can get a feel of what of I am trying to accomplish. I would love to hear your feedback - I plan on doing
a monthly blog/video with Rhiannon and friends so you can stay in touch!
I will also be posting the first
chapter of Something Wiccan This Way Comes - and the third Rhiannon Godfrey story has a new title - Wiccan Cool :) it
will be out on ebook in early summer. I've been asked about doing a newsletter - I think that I will do better
if I stick to the videos. Of course you can always contact me through this website - and I will do my best to get back
to you!
