Happy Veterans Day

I want to wish a Happy Veterans Day to all of you veterans out there.

NaNoWriMo

I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month in November. I have one month to finish a rough draft of 50,000 words.

I'm really excited to start a new book in a "new" genre: romantic suspense. I've been toying with this idea for a long time, and I'm ready to write something on the darker side.

So check back in a few weeks for an update.

Fall is here!!!

It's been a whirlwind of a summer for me. I hate to see the warm, sunny weather go away and the rain settle in. Yet, I'm ready for some time to write.

I'm trying to re-establish a routine and channel my energies back into writing.

I'm hoping to post a little more often and tell you about some exciting projects I have planned for the future.

Regarding legal action I mentioned earlier against an Idaho department, it appears the statute of limitations has expired, which is probably for the best. Sometimes, it's better to bury the past and move on.

I hope you've had a great and memorable summer.

I'm on Facebook

If you haven't noticed, I have a Facebook page. That's where you'll find pictures and all sorts of updates on me and what I'm up to, professionally and personally. So if you haven't friended me yet, please do: Jami's Facebook page. I'm much better at keeping it up to date.

Jami Update

Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged. I took the summer off from writing and am just now getting back into the swing of things. My summer has been filled with the building of our new addition, a huge 4th of July barn dance, and lots of visits with family.

Not to mention, we're considering legal action against those involved in circulating misinformation revolving around identity theft my husband experienced from 1996 through 2002. It's only recently come to light how much damage these rumors have done to his character and how widespread they are, even to the extent of bogus criminal charges. So what to do? More on this later. Has anyone had similar experiences with identity theft, its consequences, and the options for recourse?

Also The Gift Horse is now available in print via Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I hope you'll take the time to pick up a copy.

Now for the updated pictures on the man cave.

I hope you're having a wonderful summer. I'll try to post more often. Stay turned for updates.

Man Cave 4--Roofing

We have roofing!!!! This is getting to be so fun.

Here's the front of the house.

Here's the man on the covered patio of his man cave.

Man Cave 3--We have walls!!!!

The man cave is now framed in, and I can imagine what it'll be like finished. Of course, I'm now plagued by self-doubt. Did I do this right or should I have made this bigger? Etc.

Rocky, the hubbie, is complaining that there's no wall space. Okay, so maybe I did go a teensy bit overboard on the windows, but hey, he has one 7-foot wall and one 5-foot wall to work with. What more could he want? Besides, think of the money we'll save on artwork.

I've redesigned the laundry room a dozen times. I need a dramatic theme for the laundry room. I'm considering an apple theme for the powder room. After all, I was raised in Eastern Washington apple country. Then I'll paint the walls red? What do you think?

All in all, I know it'll be wonderful.

Coming next: Trusses and a roof!!!!
