All Down The Line
We're gonna open up the throttle yeah
We're gonna bust another bottle yeah
All down the line.
Jagger/Richards
It's on - Fables of the Reconstruction is a done deal. Let's
just check, line by line, what's been accomplished the last few months to get
this baby out there:
- Fables is actually completed, edited and formatted. No small feat that.
- At least 30 interviews have been scheduled or completed.
- One blogger said my interview brought in almost double the usual views for a first time indie author. Kewl.
- Blurt Magazine, the music magazine musician's read, will feature Fables of the Reconstruction in their quarterly print edition - the first time they have promoted an indie author. Kudos to them for being pioneers of all indie artists!
- Creative Loafing Atlanta is giving Fables a shout out AND an editorial spotlight is pending. Wow. People love it when a Southern girl writes a book about paranormal erotica.
- The first critique of Fables has been received and the email beautifully said "Original and fascinating." The thought, as an artist, that someone found the work to be original is truly the greatest compliment ever.
- Guess I'm actually an artist now. I understand how authors, musicians, actors and painters receive inspiration through dreams, coincidences, and random thoughts - and how they translate the concept via their art.
I have a secret. Stay tuned and I'll let you know a bit more
in November.
Thank you to everyone that has supported and encouraged me
throughout this amazing process. I love you all. You know who you are. xoxo

Torn & Frayed
So much has happened in the last few hours. I wanted to
write everything down because I may not remember all these feelings later.
First, I couldn’t decide on ‘Happy’ or ‘Torn & Frayed’.
Since I was torn--so to speak--over the title for this blog, that made the
decision. Oh, for any of you that aren’t Rolling Stones fans, Exile on Main
Street is one of the best albums of all time. No offense intended to any of my
great musician friends--I believe it’s the best rock and roll album of all
time. It’s the inspiration for Exile on Peachtree Street. All my blogs are
titles of the songs on Exile on Main Street.
Any of you that know me or follow my blog know that I
started writing my book because I suffered a severe Achilles tendon tear which
required extensive surgery. My Achilles tendon has been rebuilt. I have been in
a leg cast and immobile for months. The doctor ended the pain pills long ago.
How to get through the pain?
Well, write a book of course. I can’t walk, I can’t drink
and until a few weeks ago I couldn’t even fuck, so might as well let my
imagination run wild, right? You have to come up with some way to pass the time
of day. You can’t just sit around, as the old saying goes. The other old saying
is the idle mind is the playground of the devil. Both sayings are appropriate,
considering the circumstances.
Off I go on the book writing journey, armed only with an
idea, the book’s title and two characters. The book was completed last week and
here’s what happened in the last few hours. Yesterday I connected with my
badass editors. I like their style. They ripped Fables from one end of hell to
the other. I’m totally cool with it, as long as it makes my creation as entertaining
as possible for the readers. Both editors get the plot and the characters. I
trust them. The manic rewrite has begun.
Good news followed by more good news. Earlier today the
surgeon took me out of a leg cast. The shock of seeing a twelve inch scar from
my ankle up my calf will never leave my mind. The doctor calls it my racing
stripe. I really is cooler than having a tattoo, because you gotta be one tough
bitch to get a scar like mine. The good news you ask? I walked today for the first time in months.
I don’t consider myself an emotional person. Today I cried tears of sheer joy.
Sure, I’m in a walking cast and on crutches, but who really cares? I am back on
my feet. Oh no, another cliché although it is appropriate.
The doctor encouraged me to go out.
“Go out?” I say, “As in
go out to dinner or for a few drinks?”
“Yes, go out.”
Those three words set me free.
My sweet partner wants to go to a posh wine bar and enjoy a
romantic dinner. That sounds nice but we’ve been trapped together for months.
You know what sounds like heaven? There’s a guitar bar in Midtown Atlanta. It’s
my favorite place in town because it reminds me of Nashville. On Friday nights
you can show up, bring your guitar and have a $2 beer. It’s loud, noisy and I
can’t wait. I’ve been away much too long. Oh, all the sexual mischief I can get into, now that I'm free. I'm inspired.
Another saying we have here is good things happen in
three’s. Join the sexy and talented Kharisma Rhayne as she interviews me today
at www.kharismarhyne.com.
Just as long as
the guitar plays
Let it steal your
heart away Jagger/Richards
