Current Happenings

Birthday bashes, new books coming down the pike, becoming part of an association of fellow authors, and other happenings have been keeping this girl very busy. I am close to finishing book three in my Time Series, and I’m in the first part of book 4. Other writing projects include the beginning of a cozy mystery series in coming months. Right now books 3 & 4 in the Time Series takes a front seat.

I also make beaded jewelry. What does that have to do with writing? A ha! So glad you asked. In the coming couple of months I will be giving away a bracelet with purchase of a book at my book signings. These free bracelets represent the gems found in my stories. They are made with Preciosa crystals, whereas the gems in my books are real. That’s the first part of this project. For the second part, I will be making jewelry using genuine gemstones represented in my books and putting them on my table at craft shows for sale.

My jewelry name is Jewelry By Marlisa. So within that brand will be what I am calling my Time Series line of jewelry. This will link both my books and jewelry together.

Favorite Book

I didn’t have one favorite book. Instead, there were two series of books I loved. One was the Dr. Seuss books and the other was the Dandelion Library Series. I remember when they came via UPS. My mom opened the box, and it was like seeing a chest full of gold treasure. Oh such great memories. Later I graduated to the Nancy Drew Series. From there I read the Agatha Christie books.

Favorite Books as a Child

Daily writing prompt
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Fairy tales were always my favorite. It didn’t matter if I read them or listened to them on 33 record albums. I enjoyed the story and imagery they invoked. When you use your imagination like that enough times throughout your life, what you essentially end up doing is training your mind to be more creative and helps when dreaming up stories of your own.
