The Ending Series begins!!!

Check out the cover image of the new book project I'm working on with a dear friend! I'm so excited we are one step closer to making our dream of launching this new dystopian series, a reality! You saw it first here!

I LOVE BOOKS!!!

Can I just say that I love to read way tooo much and it could become an illness. In fact, I am going to see if it is...hold on.

Nope, nothing came up so I guess I am just passionate.

Anyway, this is the newest favorite that I have. What can I say, the historical freak within me is drawn to books that rock my world and bring both history, romance and personal growth and understanding all in one 400 page book.

One day I will write and I will be proud that I was able to commit myself to one idea long enough to complete it. Until then, I will scour the bookshelves of the store waiting for the next masterpiece and happy just to be entertained in the meantime.

This is a great book, check it out!

Spain, here I come!

Spain, Here I come! I am so excited to be planning yet another world excursion, I am ecstatic! Living in Spain for 2 months, learning the culture and the language...what more could a girl ask for? Her boyfriend is even going to visit. Romantic? Yes, exciting? yes, I only wish I could afford to do things like this all the time. However, when I look back on this, I know I will have NO regrets. That is the purpose of life right? We only live once!!!! So...Seize the day!

My New Favorite Author!

Ok, so it has been FOREVER since I have written, but I am back! Katie, you better read this! I know you like to read and I have some goodies to tell you.

First of all Michelle Moran is my new favorite author...historical fiction baby! Whoohoo! I can't put her books down. I can't wait for her new one coming out in paperback in July called Cleopatra's Daughter. Moran's books are really descriptive, romantic but as close to historically accurate as possible given the mysterious past of ancient Egypt. I love them and can't wait to continue reading her!

Chelsea Handler, all I can say is laugh out loud entertaining. It is better than her first on, My Horizontal Life, a collections of her one night stands.

Everyone one should read, what's your favorite book right now????

2009 Recap

2009 turned out much different than I would have imagined, but all for the good.

Going back through my list of goals, I have obtained all, but two of them.

I finished my MA degree in History and Culture

I assisted in creating and opening my first exhibit

I have put in over one hundred hours volunteering at the Napa County Historical Society as well as become an Honorary Board Member ~ All will be great on my resume

I travelled around Europe for a month, visiting Germany, Hungary and Greece, only to fuel my desire to experience the rest of the world

I celebrated 4 years with my boyfriend and the list continues....

I still would like to get something published...it could be anything from research, fiction, self-help etc. Even articles in the newspaper.

There is much I am proud of myself for and only now do I realize how hard I worked and look forward to what 2010 will bring my way.

Goals for 2010:

Get something published
Get a new job doing something I love
Open an IRA and start saving for my future
Travel to at least 2 states in the US
(my wish list includes: Montana, Washington DC, Washington State, one of the original 13 colonies and Canada would be cool too).

Germany 2009
