Good Intentions gone awry...

I promised myself that I would be posting more often...but did I? NO. I could come up with a dozen excuses but they are all lame.

In solidarity with the lack of posting I also have been doing NO marketing. NONE. ZERO. I haven't even checked my sales on kindle, which would be depressing anyway because, you guessed it--NO MARKETING.

I have however been working on my new book--the one I posted about a hundred years ago--remember? I have 100 pages written so far and some interesting developments have arisen regarding my raven character. I won't say anything further about this since I don't want to give away the plot. I am getting more excited about the story now that the characters seem to have taken hold and are writing it without my help. Love it when that happens! I will only say that my character Sylvie (of the forest) has visited some very interesting settlements in the 2400's--some good and some very very bad--I guess it could be described as dystopian, but I prefer to call it magical realism...the themes are really about women and our distinct lack of power...(in the present as well as my imagined future.) Will it be solved in one book, this dilemma of power in the hands of men?

I have also discovered Inkarnate--anyone know what that is? I didn't until a friend showed me the incredible map she'd done for her WIP! I was astounded and wanted to learn it for myself--with her help I'm plugging along--costs $5 a month for the pro version and there is soooo much to choose from! Seriously cool. Hoping I can make it professional enough to add to the book--the world Sylvie's traveling through needs to be visualized.

While you are waiting impatiently for my new book please take a look at what I have out there...there are many to choose from, including the 3rd in my Coyote shape-shifting series. It is a woman's story for sure. Go to DreamCatcher on Amazon...(tried to copy and paste here but I'm now working on an LG monitor and things are not working as they should) Maybe just head over to Nikki Broadwell and you can see all my books--of course they are also on this site too...perhaps that's the way to get to Amazon? I am clueless when it comes to problems like these...AAARGH.

Forgive my ineptitude...

Thanks for reading

COVER REVEAL!!!!

NEW COVER--the story is set 300 years in the future and the genre is magical realism...heroine is a young woman who has a vision and must follow it to the end...but keeping the faith as she travels through the ruined landscape is something she finds hard to do. And what exactly is her mission anyway? Could she have dreamed the entire thing? A few sentences from a woman who appeared to her one time just isn't enough.

Blurb:

Sylvie is searching

for what she believes is the key to continuing

life. But fate has other ideas, the twists and turns taking

her away from her original plan. Her life is not what

she thought it was, nor is the world she's always called

her home.

Time itself has become elusive, her wanderings taking

her far from everything she knows and placing her in

the direct path of the unknown. Can she trust her

visions and herself or is this a dream within a dream, a

parallel reality of fantasies and lies?

NEW BOOK COMING!

My newest project was inspired by the recent supreme court ruling--if you read my books you will recognize the trend. It's early days but it seems to be moving along. The characters are beginning to take over, which is always a good sign. Here's a snippet to whet your appetite, or at least I hope it does. Feedback is always welcome. Just email me at earthgoddesswriting@gmail.com

My sense told me that the earth had been demolished and come back, maybe many times—but what did I know? I was merely a girl living in a timeline that didn’t even have a name or a number. My birth coincided with my mother’s death, and as far as my father, the story I’d been told was that he was a traveler who had come through our village, impregnated my mother, and moved on. And when I asked the elders, they basically shooed me away, shaking their heads in frustration. I was always on their shit list it seemed, asking questions and bugging them about the past. Others, who had lived a long while, only looked at me askance when I begged them for answers, their expressions revealing their worry at being put on the spot. Either no one knew the answers to my questions or they didn’t want to reveal the truth.

Books had long since turned into digital-only; paper was too expensive to produce. But even the digital versions were disappearing now, our weakening energy sources not up to managing what wasn’t absolutely necessary for life. To keep them going we needed materials that were no longer available, at least not within traveling distance. So that meant the tomes that still existed were mostly moldy and rotted away.

The working title is: Fate and the Goddess of Time, but that could change and probably will. My protagonist is a strong-willed young woman who knows little to no history. Her village does not measure time so she is unaware that it is 2407. Women's issues are front and center as is the forest which coincides with it all.
