It is Monday morning and the week is started off with a bang! I had a wonderful weekend with my beautiful children and got a lot of work done. Nothing feels better than spending quality time with your family and accomplishing a job and knowing that it is done correctly. I have to say that sometimes I can be a little knit picky about my family and work. But I think that’s what makes me so good at my job and also keeps me on task as a mother.
This week I will be doing a little pre-writing for the blog, due to the fact that I will be at the National Publicity Summit next week in New York. Hopefully while I am there I will meet several new and interesting people who will help in the advancement of my career, enabling me to bring you more exciting, suspense filled novels. It is a very exciting time for me. I will make sure to blog all about it when I get home.
As for today, let’s talk about the word of the day. It comes from a fan from Facebook by the name of Nicole. She has chosen the word prime.
Our definition comes from www.thefreedictionary.com

Wow, quite the definition! In the book series the word prime is actually a given name of the species that was created by the aliens on our planet. So it becomes a proper name at this point. But as you can see, the name was given because of the definition. It is all about perfection…
Until next time… Read On!!!
