Skin & Spirit Timeline and Soundtrack

Hello everyone! Here is the timeline and soundtrack for the third book, Skin & Spirit. After this post, I'll be all caught up with the soundtrack and timeline postings for the book. Hopefully this helps create a visual for everyone who reads the series. Love you all!TimelineMarch 1, 2021 (Monday): Book Three begins w/ flashback to Anslee, Helen, Rusty, Ramona, and Toner’s deathsMarch 2, 2021...

Bone & Marrow Timeline and Soundtrack

Again, probably should have posted this immediately upon the completion of the second book in my zombie series, Bone & Marrow, but life happens sometimes. (Totally an ironic statement since my series is about death...) But anyway, hopefully this helps with documenting some of the events from the series. Also, I hope you enjoy the songs. If there's any that you think would be perfect for this...

Dead & Sick Timeline and Soundtrack

I probably should have posted this two years ago with the conclusion of the first book in my series. This is the timeline and soundtrack for my Dead & Sick story. The song choices are pretty measly since I wasn't keeping track of good ones as I was writing. It's more of a work-in-progress that I'll be adding to as I stumble across some good ones. If any of my readers have suggestions, please...

Finding an Editor

I've been putting off publication for many years. I find it a very intimidating process. In most ideal situations, you go from an editor to a literary agent to a publisher. Regardless of whether or not you want to self-publish or go the traditional route, the one common step needed is having an editor. One of my goals for 2017 was to have the first book in my zombie series fully edited. Turns out...

What Does Your Internet History Look Like?

So I'm currently working on some rather dark fiction where a lot of people are killed off in the most unusual ways. As I do research for my books, I've been realizing that if the cops were to ever show up at my door or if the government decides to tap into my computer, they'd be in for a rude surprise should they go through my browsing history! I mean, how many people can look up, "is it possible...

Advice for Writing Fan Fiction

Ever since beginning my writing journey at age sixteen - nine years ago (today is my 25th birthday, yikes!) - I've always found myself writing original fiction while only reading fan fiction. I'm not sure what I found so attractive about each form and why exactly I only write one while only reading the other, but that's pretty much how it's been my entire life. Until last month.I started getting...

The Families We're Born Into...

…Are not always the ones we would have chosen had we been given the choice. For Megan Greeves, she is starting to realize that the family she found herself born from holds a secret far greater than the average suburban household. Original Fiction is often overlooked on Mibba, but The Alpha's Angel has definitely written a piece of OF that is worthy of readers' attention. Dangerous Slumber is a...

One More Soldier Reporting for Duty

On December 1, 2015, my father, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph P. Diminick, will retire from the United States Army after 28 years of service. During his career as a soldier, he was deployed to Bosnia as a Peacekeeper, led a battalion command in Oklahoma, taught Philosophy and Military Strategy to Cadets at West Point, spent weeks traveling to the Pentagon to work on some secret dealings, and trained...

MPMB Giveaway

First thing's first, check it here: Mibba Positivity Month Bingo. This genius game is a must-participate for all! I definitely recommend it to even the less active, shy, silent Mibbians. I have spent close to a full decade - or however long Mibba has been around (I was one of it's original members *giggles*) - just reading in the shadows and on occasion positing a story or two. But no more! I am...

My Current Favorite Mibba Story

According to my blog history, it's been well over five years since my last rambling entry. I joined Mibba in 2006, and since then have been guilty of participating in the "Silent Readers" club. My existence on Mibba has been long, albeit quiet. I am writing this blog today in honor of the Mibba Positivity Month Bingo (which everything should totally check out and participate in!) as well as in...

Comments? Seriously? Why?

I'm generally an easy going person. It takes a lot to annoy me, especially when it comes to writing. Lately, I've been coming across a lot of stories that have been begging for comments. It really irks me when I read a great story and then scroll down to see that the writer has insisted that people leave comments. I'm appalled by writers who demand X amount of comments before continuing on or...

Never Go Into The Woods With Boys. Never.

After comeing home from this great Army football game, (seriously, I love football, I wish they had a team for girls, I would so dominate, lol) I run into Corey, Dave, and Jesse - three severally entertaining and perverted guys. They had these poppers and smoke bombs and were going to set them off. I decided that it would probably be very amusing to watch, so I followed them…bad move!We get to...

I Can't See The Screen And My Hands Are Shaking...

...Which probably means my blood sugar is low. Stupid no good rotten diabetes. Now I have to go take my blood sugar...yep! I'm low. I'm 39. I should probably drink something to get it stable...but we have nothing in this house! Not to mention that I'm taking this medicine that makes me not hungry. My mom said that's an added bonus and now I'll lose weight. She called me fat!Oh, and what does ftw...
