Hot Month of August Trying to come up with another blog idea reminds me that stories come into my head much easier than ideas for marketing. I recently posted on Facebook that there must be an easier way to sell books. When I sit back and look at the commercials on TV, there might be a couple versions of each commercial, but they saturate the market with the same one over and over until you can't get the commercial out of your head. They want you to remember their brand. But

This month has been busy for me with canning and freezing vegetables, but now I'm making pear wine and grape wine while waiting for some Elderberry wine. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep up with the ongoing declassification of information from the podcasts I listen to as well as catching some of it on mainstream media. The mainstream media is barely showing you the declass. Today, they did cover the Fauci "Fifth." Ironically, because he was pardoned by the Fake Biden, he c

As we celebrate our 250th birthday as a nation, this country has been in the makings for 908 years. Christopher Columbus wasn't the first person to step foot in this country. It all started after the Crusades when a couple of knights from the Poor Knights of Christ had a conversation. They believed that there was an advanced civilization before the flood and there must be proof somewhere of their existence. They got together with some other knights and formed the Knights Temp

While it's the last of the month, this month has been weird to say the least. We've had weeks of rain. Where was the rain in April? Then we had several nights in the 40's. What happened to the warm weather? My plants were in shock! The weather is forecasting some nights in the 50's this coming week. We are on the cusp of summer. What is happening? Has anyone else noticed the weirdness of the weather? It does a number on your vegetable garden. Hopefully, our garden will surviv

The month of April has always been special to me. I have so many things to look forward to--my birthday, my anniversary, Easter, spring flowers, more sunshine (usually). But this month, what's left of it, I have a new release of a book that I started in 2023. I had written the first chapter in the back of my book, Nephilim. It wasn't until 2025 that I was able to work on it and it still took over a year to write it. Guardian Investigations started out as a contest in my newsl

Spring is finally here. Yay! To top it off, I finally received the edits for my manuscript, "Guardian Investigations: A Matter of Time." I will go over every page and make corrections to 'tweak' the manuscript before sending it back to the editor for one final review. If everything looks good, then the next steps are obtaining an ISBN number for ebook and paperback, and a bar code, then putting it through Vellum to format it and re-read it once more (as a proof-read), before

While I'm having my latest paranormal book, "Guardian Investigations: A Matter of Time" edited, I'm working on two books. One is my next children's book, "Adventure Street Kids," which is a middle grade fiction book based on true events. That book has a group of characters as the heros, ages 9-11years. I'm on the planning/plotting stage and will be contacting an artist I met at another book event to do the illustrations and book cover. I will keep you posted on that one. The

My latest Work In Progress (WIP) is Guardian Investigations. I started about two years ago when I asked my VIP Reviewers Group to help me choose a title for the story. As part of the request, it became a contest so that the person with the winning entry would also be a character in the story. I started the story in the fall of 2024 and have just now finished it. I usually don't take that long to write a book, but I suffered from a creativity 'funk' during that time and I feel

I'm noticing more and more that the "NEWS" we're seeing not only shows the corruption, but it's educating us at the same time. I've actually seen a couple 'FAKE NEWS' channels tell the truth about recent events. Why is that happening? Are they now under the control of the 'WHITE HATS?' We've had nothing but propaganda for years. And look at all the judges coming out with bad decisions or overturning other decisions. Does that mean that we can no longer trust the justice syste

Thanks for taking time to answer questions, Xanda. What made you decide to become a writer? "I don't remember ever not being a writer. I wrote a lot as a child, loved it. I remember clearly thinking that how letters come together to form words and sentences was magic to me. I only started reading a lot in my twenties." How long did it take to get published the first time and how did it happen? "Well, during the pandemic, it became clear to me that it had been a while since I
