Hello Redwood’s Fans!

Hope you had a GREAT week and enjoyed the Redwood’s Comedy Break.

How’s your summer going? Enjoying the kids– grandkids?

We recently went on a camping trip. The first time we took our two girls. We decided to go horseback riding. Well, you know when you combine the two, someone is coming off a horse.

Yes, it happened. My youngest one got knocked off her horse. Thankfully, she was okay. An adventure she’ll get to share with her kids when she gets older.

We’re thankful that the fires in Colorado are mostly under control. We live not too far from the Black Forest area but were not in any evacuation or pre-evacuation areas. Such a devastating fire. Please continue to pray for all those families.

For you this week:

Monday: Kara Hunt (Genesis Finalist!) stops by with an author question surrounding a physical assault and what injuries the victim might have.

Wednesday: Author and EMS expert Dianna Benson stops by and blogs about a patient who has fallen from approx 20 feet.

Friday: Author question surrounding hallucinogenic drugs.

Have a great week!

This week I’m taking a blog vacation but I thought I’d leave you with some fun– so I hope you enjoy these You Tube clips of comedians/funny situations. We’ll be back to regular programming Monday, June 24th!

Hope you had a laugh!

Hello Redwood’s Fans!!

How’s your week been? Mine– good.

FINISHED my book proposal and the edits for Peril. Just one more proofreading round to go and my baby will almost be ready to be released to the world. October will soon be here. It’s a great, scary read and I’ve been fortunate to have some amazing authors endorse it.

To celebrate– we decided to go camping. I know– I think I heard some brakes screeching. What a way to celebrate, right? My ideal is liquor and chocolate but we’ve been living in Colorado almost seven years and had not taken our daughters camping and because of my busy nursing/writing schedule some family time was definitely in order.

Now, I’m not a must-have-hair-done-and-make-up-on-at-all-times kind of girl but I do appreciate running water and sinks. The campground ended up having neither– running water, sinks, showers– you get the idea.

Just a potty– and non-flushing one at that.

Nothing like going from zero to full-fledged camping in one outing. Okay– we did have an air mattress.

The woods are all kinds of fun at night. They are LOUD. Coyotes. The wind whooshing through the trees. And helicopters. I mean for two hours! Until close to midnight one night. Lots and lots. So of course– my authorly mind starts running amok because it was TOO cold to sleep.

Top five reasons for helicopter/plane noise: 

1. Drones.
2. Search and Rescue.
3. Lake Patrols.
4. Fancy coyote hunting parties.
5. Do they have infared– can they see me in my tent?

You get the picture.

Over and my new Facebook Author Page I hosted a mega-party over the last three weeks. The winner of the great BIG giveaway is Phillip Daniel Angel!! Congratulations!! Please “like” my author page– when Peril releases I’ll be doing it up again with TONS of prizes so I hope you’ll check it out.

For you this week:

Monday: Bette Lamb stops by to blog about the OCI? Just who are they? What do they do? Let me say– Law Enforcement. FDA. Yes, these things do go together.

Wednesday: When disaster strikes and HIPAA– the patient healthcare privacy law.

Friday: Author Question. Injuries from striking a tree trunk.

Have a great week!

Hello Redwood’s Fans!

How has your week been? Mine– busy but fantastic. I think I met my first UBER fan– Babs. And although I’m thankful for all those who are loving my stories she was a true treat and I think may have nearly had a heart attack when she held my phone. We met for dinner (along with a couple of other FABULOUS ladies) through one of those cosmic turns of events. Her sister posted that I was lucky she got in the right car for the ride home but I think I need a little Babs in my pocket for those hard author days when the words are hard to type– just for a serious ego boost. I’ve pictured her below. I’m the one in shades.

Uber-Super Fan Babs V.

How are things going for you?

This week we’re going RADIOACTIVE!!

Monday: Principles of radiation exposure. Plus, some great advice on kids and x-rays.

Wednesday: Author Beware!! I haven’t done one of these posts in a while but they are important in getting details right. This is where I take a real life example of published material or TV/movie and expose the medical error. This week– the new NBC series Hannibal.

Friday: Author Question: Radiation Leaks.

Hope your week is glowy and fantastic but without radiation sickness.

Hello Redwood’s Fans!

How has your week been?

Mine? Crazy busy. I’m in the third round of editing the last book in the Bloodline Trilogy, Peril. Pretty soon my baby will be ready for the world– October 1st. It’s always a nerve racking time as other authors are reviewing the novel for possible endorsement and you always want to impress them.

I’m also doing a huge Facebook Party launching my new Facebook Author page. Hope you’ll stop by and check it out.

For you this week:

Monday: Researching a physician’s training.

Wednesday: Concierge Medicine– just what is it?

Friday: Christine Lewry returns to share a personal tale of her daughter’s heroin addiction.

Hope you guys have a GREAT week.

Hello Redwood’s Fans!

How has everyone’s week gone?

Mine . . . amazing.

I got to spend the week up in Estes Park and it was GORGEOUS except for one brief sleet storm. You know it is Colorado and for some reason this year the state does not want to give up winter.

I was part of the faculty for the Colorado Christian Writers Conference. If you want a smaller, amazing conference this is one to book for next year. I got to take a suspense class from Bill Myers and he was awesome. Hope you’ll check out his books sometime. 

The WINNER of Lynette Eason’s latest novel When A Secret Kills is Kristie Porter!

Congratulations, Kristie, and I’ll be e-mailing you shortly on how to claim your prize.

A big THANK YOU to Lynette for coming and visiting Redwood’s. It’s always an honor to have you.

What amazing thing happened to you this week?

Jordyn

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and ALL the great moms I know. Hope you enjoy your day.

WOW! What a great couple of weeks it’s been here at Redwood’s. Jocelyn Green’s post were AMAZING and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for all her great posts, great guest hosting and hard work.

The WINNER of Jocelyn’s book Widow of Gettysburg is Marissa!! I’ll be e-mailing you to let you know how to claim your prize.

Congratulations.

And– we have another great week coming up! I’m so excited!!

For you this week:

Monday: Author Question. You know these are my favorite to answer. This one deals with panic attacks. I offer the author an alternative medical condition. Can you guess what it might be?

Wednesday: Lynette Eason (yes, you heard me!!) is stopping by for a very special author interview. I’m participating in a special Suspense Author Blog Hop and there’re going to be TONS of giveaways so I hope you’ll stop by and check out all the interviews. I’ll be over at Connie Mann’s blog and I’m so excited to meet her and her readers.

Friday: I Need a Medical Condition! And I give this author some ideas. Another one of my favorite things to do.

Events:

I’ll also be up at Colorado Christian Writers Conference this week May 15-18th serving as faculty so if you’re there be sure to come up and say “hi”. It was one of my first conferences and I LOVE it (four appointments for attendees!) and am so excited to be serving there this year.

AND– on May 19th I’ll be participating in Douglas County Libraries Author Showcase! Starts at 2:00pm at Parker Library in Parker, CO. Would love to see some of you there. Registration is required.

Hope your week is as awesome as mine will be!

I KNOW– too many exclamation points.
