All Authors Blog Blitz with Michelle Mogil


I signed up for the "All Authors Blog Blitz" event through my Goodreads Group,
   
Created and Moderated by Y. Correa and you can find her Goodreads page here.  

And I am so excited to host Michelle  on my blog today! 



Please Welcome Michelle Mogil!



Michelle Montague Mogil has dipped her toes into the large pond of independent authorship and thinks the water is fine.



She's written her first novel, The Gentle Man:










Anastasia Trent is a Woman of a Certain Age, a systems analyst by day, and part-time bartender by night. One night, as she's trying to close up the bar, she's accosted by an odd little man who claims to be running for his life and begs Ana to take him in. Against her better judgement, she does. He promptly, and very willfully, turns her mundane life upside down and sideways, leaving her torn between the conviction that he's an aging Goth with a fetish for drinking human blood and a need for medical intervention, and the impossible possibility that he's a real live eight-hundred vampire bent on making her his consort. Along the way, she is confronted with life-changing decisions, and she keeps managing to make the wrong ones...

The Gentle Man is available at these fine stores:

Smashwords

Amazon KDP

CreateSpace Store

Michelle is also involved, along with some decidedly shady characters, in an anthology of short stories. Titled Theme-Thology: Invasion, the book will be published by HDWP Books on September 28, 2013. For more information, contact Books@hdwpbooks.com, or you can follow the process of writing and editing the anthology here:


Michelle has always loved to write, filling notebooks and journals with her thoughts and observations, but has only just now found the courage to show it to complete strangers. She is humbled and gratified to find people like to read the words that come out of her brain. 

She's all over this Internet thing — you can connect with her at the following social media sites:





Twitter: @michmogil



And a little about her personal life 

Michelle has three daughters, one of whom gave her three grandsons in short order. She lives in beautiful upstate New York along with one greyhound, three cats, an arbitrary number of chickens, and one very tolerant husband.

Platforms

My life used to be simple, well not really, but it was organized.
When I had my gift shop, I'd get up at 6 a.m. get on the computer,
check emails and catch up with friends and family on facebook,
 go open up the shop at 9 a.m. come home for lunch at noon and
 check in back in on the computer, back to work and
then check back in after dinner. Simple, right?
Well now that I am at home all the time and writing...
There are blogs to maintain, twitterers to tweet, websites, groups, profiles...
Well you get the idea. With Facebook and all the changes they have been making
I have a hard time trying to keep up with everyone, With family and friends and groups and pages liked and subscribed to, I'm just about at the 5,000 limit. 99 new notification notices every morning.
I do like the changes Twitter has made though, especially making it easy to keep up with
conversations without have to go back through 200 tweets just to find out why someone laughed at whatever you said...
How does everyone keep up with everything going on and not go completely insane! Much less have time to write and clean house? Yep, life was simpler when I ran my own business :-))

How's your platform holding up? Tweet, tweet!
