From George D. Shuman who served twenty years with the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington DC, and whose international bestseller, ’18 Seconds’, is currently in production as a major Hollywood motion picture. 

Better still, ‘Rattleman’ is George D. Shuman’s most gripping crime thriller yet.

The Rattleman knows every crevice, every creek, every cave, every ravine, every inch of his remote hunting grounds in the Appalachian Mountains.

He is a determined serial killer, always waiting for his next victim to cross his path.

When Park Ranger Jane Cameron literally stumbles across the remains of two of his victims, she discovers that she too has been caught in his trap.

And when the ‘Rattleman’s prey is at his mercy, she’s dead.

Pour Your Heart Out: Taking a Break

There comes a time every so often when you have to make choices.  Sometimes they are easy and sometimes they are hard.

I have decided that it’s time to make a choice about my writing and this blog.

I have been doing a lot of writing lately.  And it’s been for free.  I enjoy writing and I’d like to say I don’t do it for the money, but I will be honest, time is precious, and if I am going to spend so much time writing, I would like to be compensated for it.

Speaking of time, I don’t have a whole lot of it.  Besides writing, I work full time and have a family to take care of.   So it’s time to cute out some things.  One of the unfortunately has to be this blog.  I spend a lot of time and effort here when I can be working on things that will bring me an income.

I won’t totally disappear.  I plan to post once in awhile when I have something I really want to share or get off of my chest.  And I still have some book reviews/spotlights to share with you.  For now though, I have to say farewell to Not Just 9 to 5.

For more heartfelt writing, head on over to Things I Can’t Say.

Writer Tool: The Cloud

thecloud

I think maybe one of the most important tools for me as a writer, besides an actual place to write, is “the cloud.”  Now, to me, “the cloud” Means many different things.    Here’s how I use it.

1.  To save my work

I save all my work in Dropbox.  I don’t really save anything of importance on my computer anymore.  It all goes in “the cloud” known as Dropbox.

2.  To back up my work

In addition to Dropbox, I save all my documents in Google Drive too.  I am a big fan of google drive because I can access my files from any computer whether Mac (which I use at home) or PC (which I have at work).  I figure it can’t hurt to save things in two spots either just in case one happens to go down for whatever reason.

3.  To make notes

I use the Notes app on my phone to jot down quick ideas and also use things like Evernote to save articles and such that I might want to reference later when I write.

4.  To access anywhere

This is probably the number one reason I use “the cloud”.  I love that I can access the stuff that I am writing from anywhere.  I can work on it at home on my laptop or quick on my iPhone if I am waiting for something.  As a busy mom that has a full time job while trying to start a writing career, it’s important that I steal snippets of time to work when I can.  ”The cloud” makes all my files readily accessible.

Do you use “the cloud”?  If so, what do you use it for?
