New Year, New Look for Author Web Site

It took me nearly three hours, but www.TraceyCramerKelly.com is finally reorganized and ALMOST up-to-date (I still need to write a good teaser for True Surrender). Not "done" of course - a web site is never "done"!

But I AM ahead of schedule (for once) - I had targeted January 1 as the 'launch' date for the new site.

Whilst working on this, I came across a treasure trove of short essays and commentaries I wrote as part of the virtual blog tour last year. It made me realize just how far I've come (sometimes I lose sight of that).

One of the main questions during the tour was how long I've been writing. I wrote during high school but never with any intention of publishing. In college, my creative outlet was music. Later I got into the beaded jewelry craze, but that phased out after my son was born (beads and toddlers don't mix well). In the meantime, I would write when the muse struck, and eventually I had a half-dozen novels (or, more specifically, parts and pieces of). What you see on the site now are those seeds finally growing into something!

They're About to Kiss, but Then...

You know that scene where the main characters are JUST ABOUT to kiss...but then they don't? That's the one I've been working on. I've been trying to get the sexual tension just right. It's hard!

In fact, I'm starting to think that the parts I've yet to finish are ALL going to be difficult. I suppose that's why they're the last ones to be written!
