Woot! For Karen Elizabeth Brown! She launches her debut book, Medieval Muse. Congratulations Karen!
Medieval Muse
What happens when Victoria Budroix receives a cameo that promises to give her the desires of her heart? Since she doesn’t know what that would be, a trip to medieval times, intrigue, threat of war and an overbearing lord are on the list for her to choose from. Or could it be meeting her one true love?
Sir William of Conrad has escorted a stranger home to be under his protection. He discovers this woman speaks her own mind and melts his heart. He faces his father’s outrage and a broken alliance with the neighboring clan by falling in love.
Medieval Muse is available as a free read from Smashwords.com.
Karen Elizabeth Brown’s passion for writing is what fills her entire life with exhilarating inspiration. She spends her days writing, doing research and studying about the subjects of her stories.
When she’s not writing, she enjoys music and reading, especially medieval fantasy. Born in Southern California, she migrated to Southern Oregon in 1974 where she now resides in the Rogue Valley with her family and friends.

I’m still madly scrambling to finish up The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear. I’m on the polished draft, but still have a lot of work to do. After pretty much rewriting the first eight chapters, I freaked most of this week about my slow progress. But it seems to have smoothed out, and the polishing is picking up speed. So, I feel pretty good about where I’m at and how much time I have left. I can do it! You know what I say … never give up, never surrender.
Because my publisher is such a slave driver, that damned M. Pax, I’ll only be up at the observatory Saturday instead of both nights. I just can’t afford two late nights right now. There’s a lot of moon again anyway. So I won’t miss much. Here’s a moon shot from last Saturday:
I took this one using my special eyepiece I call, “Precious.” An 11 mm Nagler. I know that means nothing to most of you, but it’s a very, very nice eyepiece which gives me lovely, lovely views through my 8″ Dob. Some of which rival the 24″ scope under the dome. Had the polarizing filter on, too. Helps me get a better shot, because I can control how much glare is bouncing off the moon.
Other than those few hours of astronomizing Saturday night, I’m working, working, working. Unless the kitties need a hug, which they often do. What are your plans for the weekend? Going to read some Medieval Muse?

Congrats to Karen!
Good luck finishing up, Mary. Love that picture.
Sometimes we have to make writing the priority.
Very excited for Karen!
Medieval Muse sounds like a great read.
I’ve heard that M Pax is a real slave driver. Keep polishing and have a piece of chocolate. :D
The photo came out nice, Miranda.
Sometimes we do, Alex.
She is, Laura. Relentless. Ooo, that reminds me that I have a new stash of chocolate.
Medieval Muse sounds like a great read and I really like the cover. Congratulations to Karen.
Awesome moon picture- I love the details. One night at the observatory sounds good- and it sounds like you will be busy writing the rest of the time. Happy writing and vieiwing. :)
Yay for Karen! ^^ :)
Good luck finishing up on Hetty. And don’t forget to have a few chocolate breaks here and there. :)
My brother used to have a telescope we’d try and look at the moon with, but we could never figure out the different scopes. hehe. Oh well. :)
I LOVE that cover.
Congrats to Karen. It’s such a pretty cover!
Good luck with the editing!
Another amazing moon shot!
ha ha ha, love the name of your eyepiece. All I could hear was Gollum’s voice:
“We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious.”
Medieval Muse sounds great. Congrats to Karen.
And yes, writing can get frustrating when it feels like the progress is slow. I’m going through that at the moment.
Congrats to Karen! It sounds like a good story; thanks for the link.
That’s a gorgeous picture.
I picked up my copy of Medieval Muse! Gorgeous shot of the moon. I have no plans for the weekend except to try to catch up on things now that I am comfy in my finally air-conditioned house. Have a good weekend!
I will definitely be busy, Jess … although I passed the halfway mark with my ms tonight, so zooming along. Yay.
Took you advice, Amanda, & had some chocolate. Seems to have worked. Come up the observatory some time & I’ll show you how to use it.
It is a fabulous cover, Ciara. The artist is very talented.
Thank you, Cherie.
I like that one, too, Loretta. Will see what I end up with tomorrow night. lol Yeah, I pet it like precious, too. It makes a world of difference at what I’m viewing.
Hope it speeds up for you soon, Lynda. Started going so for me. Yay. Maybe it’s contagious.
Thanks, Eagle! Have a great weekend.
Yay, Christine. Glad you have A/C again.
I’m moving slow too. It’s frustrating.
Good for Karen. Love the cover. Mary, I never get tired of your amazing pix.
Midieval Muse sounds like a great story. Way to go Karen!
Mary, that precious eye piece is really something! I love that moon shot :)
Hope you’ve sped up, Tonja. I did.
Thank you, Leslie.
Precious is … precious. lol Great to see you, Jon.
