Return of the Procrastinator, that's me.

     Hi my friends, I'm sorry it has been so long since I've written. I can't believe how much has happened since I first starting to write. To be honest, I've been overwhelmed with my books and life in general. I tried sharing some unhappier moments in my life on the blog when I first started and it affected me a little too much. I promise, I'll pick back up where I left off, soon.
     For now I want to concentrate on ways to continue my blog and incorporate my books to get feedback from anyone who would like to help. Book 1: Mice of the Mausoleum is available on Kindle and Amazon. Book 2: Mystery in the Mausoleum is almost done but I'm working on getting the editing completed. My new friend David from Economy Edits has the task of editing book 2 for me. So far I am pleased with his thoughtful suggestions and his valuable help he has offered to my writing. I found him on google+ which I love. It is so much better than face book, (I still have an face book page.) I just love the way google plus is designed. All the great things I'm interested in can be streamed to me, which is a lot. Would advise anyone interested to check it out on Google. My page is under Kimberly Hayden, kimcoleman3@gmail.com.
     Okay enough about that for now, back to my books. Book 2 should be complete by end of October, if not sooner. I'm working on book 3: Mischief in the Mausoleum. The story continues with Jasper and Joey our stars living on the Heavenly Hills property. I'm glad book one is done but I wish I had known then what I do now, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. Writing these books have been a learning experience, a hard one, but fun, and delightful.
     The characters are inspired by my two grandsons and my pets, yes all three of them. My sons play a role in the story line also. I wanted to be able to leave the boys something for them to have and enjoy into their adulthood. I don't really know why I procrastinated so long working on my blog, like I said I've been lazy, and now it is time to get to work. What I am asking is if I can get some feedback on my writing, the storyline, the characters and so forth. I know everyone is busy and has their own battles, but if you would like to have some input on my stories I would welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
     My goal for writing is to help children learn to enjoy reading again. So many adults I meet now a days haven't read much for enjoyment since high school or college. There is something wonderful and magical about reading that you can enjoy while getting lost all by yourself. It's not the same as watching a movie. Although I do watch some shows, with my favorite actors. But reading? That's a whole different story. I think our generation has not only gotten lazy (I know, me too) but have been teaching it to our children and grandchildren.
     I'm just as guilty, but now want to actively make a difference. There is so much suffering and confusion in the world today, we all need a dose of reality and get back to the basics of the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I know it isn't that simple, but I believe we can make a difference if we actually try. Here is my effort to make a difference to my world around me. I love writing and I know I'm a newbie that has a lot to learn, so I'm hopeful I can entice any of my friends to give me any suggestions they would like to. Please be kind, you can get your true point across with kindness better than being hurtful. I'm thankful for any help or advice you can give me. Kimyjo
