Tiffany Guthrie: The Lakeside Series
Six Friends, Three Couples...
Heart-warming Adventures!
“But my mom loved Brie for more than just Brie. My mom loved Brie for me.” Jon, Fighting the Barrier (book 1)
“Though it’s just a memory, some memories last forever”
- Lakeside Park, RUSH
12 years since writing it, reading Book 1 for the first time through is done. Once more & on to an already started Book 2… bittersweet 💙
He leaned toward me and brought his face to my ear. His lips brushed against my skin and I felt him breathe in. As he exhaled, his breath breezed across my neck and I felt goose bumps rising on my skin.
I let out my own breath as he let his nose rub against my jaw bone. His lashes tickled my cheeks. I felt the effect of not having had any food in my system yet today. I thought about suggesting that we get some lunch, but I was afraid to open my mouth. Who knew what would come out? I was pretty sure the sounds homina, homina wasn’t going to translate into 'Hey, let’s go get some lunch.'" -- Facing the Barrier (Brie's side)
I’ve been editing a lot, so this made me laugh WAY more than it should have 😂
Hi everyone... long time no chat! The time has come to share that I'm back at it. I'm in the process of rereading Book 1, which has included a load of editing (of which I'm embarrassed and wish to APOLOGIZE to EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO HAS EVER READ THE BOOK!), and which will be followed very quickly by the writing process of books 2-10. I've set myself a goal to be published & world-famous by the time I've reached 50. Your support is so appreciated! It's been 12 years since I've been in the presence of Jon & Brie, and I can't wait to share more about them, KAYS & BIG B, and SARAH & PAUL! Maybe give a like so I can see who's excited about this!
Listening to the first A Very Special Christmas (1987) while (GASP!!!) writing out the outline for the entire series... Might this just be the beginning of what is to come?!!
Guess who did a LOT of writing today!!!
Doing agent research. Any prayers would be awesome! It's a load of work, I tell ya!
Laughing & Enjoying your own written work is a good thing, right? I'm totally loving my first book & the memories! Oh, that the other 9 will be this grand!
Having a blast reading (well, skimming ~ it IS a long 2-story book!) through the Brie & Jon stories looking for all the characters. Trying to keep these guys in order is WORK! Oh, but so much FUN!
IF you are wondering how I'm doing on the other books, well ~ it's SUPER slow. BUT... I give you permission to write to me day or night and ask how it's going. I need the fire under my... t**h... to get WRITING! My 2012 goal is to get BOTH books 2 AND 3 done and published and ready for you by November!
Merry Christmas to all my loyal fans! ♥
Guess what I'm gonna start working on tomorrow!!!!!!!!
18 more days of Student Teaching and it's back to the books! Wish me luck! And thanks for the endless support!
Just wanted to share that I have been placed for Fall 2011 Student Teaching ~ Steck School in Indian Prairie District 204 with AnnMarie Decker in 5th grade! Master's Degree is right around the corner... then it's on to write & finish these books! Happy Day!
Just had a WONDERFUL trip around Minocqua this morning! A special thanks to Melanie Babcock LaFrenier for the tour! Can't wait to work this stuff into my books! More to come! Hopefully soon!
Be SAFE out there today! LOTS of Snow! (disregard if you have no snow where you live! haha! Then YOU just have a GREAT day!)
Back to work! Hoping a lot gets accomplished today! :)
Wising everyone a WONDERFUL day!
When your kids complain about research and studying, tell them to just imagine if their adult career depended on those things. Book deals and my whole future in the writing world depends on it! Have had my nose to the books for a few days now, and haven't even begun to start my "projects" yet!
To achieve your dream, put a little effort toward it each day. Eventually, it will be so much a part of your life that it'll come into being right before your eyes.
Wanna know how serious I am? I just quit FarmVille AND FrontierVille. That's worth a million words... right there!
Welcome 2011! May you see 2 more Lakeside Series books written & published! And I wouldn't mind being picked up by an agent and a big publisher too!
Welcome New Fans! I totally LIKE you too! And to my faithful friends ~ THANK YOU for standing by me while I continue this new venture of life!
Before I go to all the trouble to get published by a big company, does anyone want to offer up the name of someone looking to represent me?!! (hahahaha!) I wish I could pull a Fr. Leake from ACC Religion classes... "Anyone who gets me a sponsor (in my case, an agent) gets an A for the class!" I'll give a free copy of all 10 books to the one who takes up MY offer! Really!!!
Went to the Library to check on my books ~ but they were not there. They're CHECKED OUT! So far, it's got 7 reads! WHOOT WHOOT!
It's this author's BIRTHDAY! Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving! God bless you all!
Feeling the writing itch! It's gettin' pretty strong!
A single lonely book sits on the bottom shelf at the West Branch of the Aurora Public Library of the New Fiction section, just to the right of the entrance. Go check it out ~ literally!
Two of the Three copies at the Aurora Public Library are available to be checked out!!! Please go and see it on the shelf at either the main or west branch today! ♥
Guess what is in the catalog system at the Aurora Public Library!?! Do me a favor, all my Aurora-neighbors... go there & request the book! Show them it's in DEMAND! ;)
Guess what is finally in the online catalog at the Aurora Public Library!?! Do me a favor, all my Aurora-neighbors... go on and request the book! Show them it's in DEMAND! ;)
to Jacob Gilmore ~ you rock, Man! Your author friend (and that would be me...) is totally rootin' for ya! Write on!
wants all her fans to know that Book 2 won't be ready when originally planned. But the GOOD news is... Books 2 & 3 will be released VERY close together. Then the remaining 7 will come yearly... Anyone still need Book 1? Can get it online anywhere or from me ~ give me a call!
Happy Father's Day to all my favorite guys out there!
Hot weather has blessed us ~ may our summers be comfortable, enjoyable, and happy!
got a crazy idea that will make my new book even better! Had to get up out of bed to type it into my file before I forgot it, but that's the breaks!
How are you today? Thinking of you lots and wishing God would place blessings on your heart at this very moment. ♥
From a Mama of Five to her Mama friends ~ may YOUR day be as blessed as good days come! To all daughters, sons, and Godchildren ~ remember your special ♥MOMs♥ today!
