Uber-crazy-busy!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday season. I've been uber-busy the past couple of months, doing interviews and working on my next novel, while entertaining guests and taking care of a sick dog. I hope to be back to regular blog posts by late spring.

In the meantime, I invite you to check out my newest fantasy novel, Lost Moon.

Lost Moon excerpt

The glacial air bit through to Kepriah’s skin as she buried her partner’s body. The ground beneath the snow was so hard she could not dig into it. She had tried using her belt knife, then her sword, but the ground was too hard, even for steel blades. She could barely see through the scarf that wrapped her face, and her breath filtered through in steamy spurts. She had lost many friends over her lifetime, but this death left her as numb inside as she felt outside. Disconnected. Like part of her had been cut away. ~ From Lost Moon, a new fantasy novel by award-winning author, Dana Davis.

My writing career so far

Being an author is a 2nd career for me (starting the fall of 1998) and every few years I like to look back at my writing accomplishments. This helps me focus on what I still need and/or want to do in the future.

Here's where I am so far - Several short stories and articles published, 14 novels written, 11 of those published (some are now 2nd editions), book 12 about to be published, book 13 set for publication next year, and a previously published book scheduled for a 2nd edition release. Not to mention the countless hours of marketing, speaking engagements, interviews, and book signings. And I can't forget the notebooks full of rejection letters. Those are accomplishments, too.

The perfectionist type A personality in me wanted to achieve a lot more in that time, but the realist in me has to remember this is a tough business and I have accomplished quite a lot. Now, if I can just get that movie deal... ;)

Facebook and twitter and blogs, oh my...

Keeping up with multiple blogs and social networks is time-consuming but a necessary evil for authors. I have different followers on each so I’m trying to find a way to connect everything. Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads are connected so that’s a bonus. But I’m trying to figure out a way to connect my blogs to each other. 

Meniere's Disease - Have you heard of it?

When I was first diagnosed with Meniere's Disease back in 2003, there was so little information available. It took several years to get the diagnosis because doctors had never heard of it. It wasn't until I went to an ENT for tinnitus (ear noise) that I finally got a battery of tests to rule out other causes like MS and brain tumors. Yeah, that was fun. Fast forward to 2016 - I'm thrilled to see various websites and Facebook pages that are trying to bring more awareness of this awful and debilitating disease to the public eye. It's not a disease that kills, but there were times that I just wanted to die while having an attack.

Suicide rates are very high for Meniere's sufferers, so having support can make all the difference. Thankfully, I have a loving and supportive husband who helped get me through those dark early days. After all these years dealing with it, I know that each vertigo attack will eventually pass and I have learned to ride them out. I don't always ride quietly but I realize now that there is nothing I can do to stop them.

If you've never heard of Meniere's, please educate yourself. You never know when a friend or family member might develop it. Here's a brief explanation by the Mayo Clinic http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menieres-disease/basics/definition/con-20028251

Show us the old dogs!

Two years ago, we walked into a local shelter and saw many people leaving with puppies. When an attendant asked if she could help us, I said, "Show us the oldest dogs you have." That seemed to perk her up and she began our tour. I would have loved to rescue all of them but we could only take home one.

We ended up with this sassy senior, who just celebrated her 2nd Gotcha Day. Little Miss Sophie is now between 10-14 years old. When she came to us, she had kennel cough and bad teeth and needed surgery. Today, she's a happy little dog who loves walkies, car rides, snuggles, and treats. We're so glad we can make her final years happy and comfortable.
