I have had to take a little break due to a wrist injury, but believe it or not I have still managed to get some writing done on "Company Policy" It's all thanks to my iPhone's dictation feature since I cannot type or even use a pen to write. I am hoping that things will improve soon so that I can get back into the swing of things!

I am so stoked about this cover and I feel that it really conveys what happens in the story. I will be giving out pre-release sample chapters of "Company Policy" at my upcoming event on September 24th. It will be at the Langston Hughes Community Library And Cultural Center - which is part of the Queens Borough Public Library system.  If you are in the NYC area and wish to attend(or know someone who wants to come), it is #freeadmission for the general public. I will be there from 11am-3pm and it's to be a community affair not to be missed! There will be a raffle, prizes, treats from my bakery #gigicakeshoppe and more. You can register at my author website at www.ericarstinson.com.

Well, I have finally gotten my groove back after all of the health issues I had over the winter and early spring. It was hard, but I think I am there. I decided to head to my favorite writing spot, Panera Bread! I brought along my laptop in my favorite "Craftsy" bag(I got it from them because I ordered tons of knitting classes from there, as well as cooking and cake decorating)so I am a lifetime customer and got there early enough to get a good spot with a plug. I really wish they would have more places to plug in devices, as I had to wait until a seat opened up. I was surprised that it did, because we all know that people work out of Panera alllllll day long. Panera Bread is one of my favorite places to eat, too. The Broccoli and Cheddar soup? 'Nuf said! I also love those egg souffle things, the four-cheese is yummy, yum, yum! So I sat and finally got some work done on my new novel, Company Policy. All was well until the internet service went down after my allo

Sleepless Fate by Janae Keyes My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book pulled me in right from the first few pages, and kept me there. Sleepless Fate was written in a very 'real' and 'down-to-earth' manner. I cared about Brielle and Patrick, loved Brielle's fiesty friend, April and a host of family members on both sides. Brielle and Patrick's story had many ups and downs, and had me exclaiming out loud at points when things really went kablooey. All in all, it was a good, solid story. I even read parts of it to my mother, who doesn't like to read as much as she used to, and even SHE was deep into the story as I was reading it to her. That being said, we are both looking forward to reading more by Janae Keyes and I am glad that I picked this one up. View all my reviews

Hi Gang! It has been one hell of a month in my personal life. I will start from the beginning, but keep it brief. I was sick with bronchitis all through January, which turned to pneumonia all through February. Got sick enough to be admitted to the hospital in March(twice!)the second time having 2 surgeries within 48 hours(good friday and then easter night) First hospital stay was from Mar 7-14th to get me strong enough for surgery and then I went in for surgery March 25th and I was finally released on March 31st. So needless to say, I have been feeling like I've been pulled every which way but loose so far this year. Work had temporarily ceased on "Company Policy" due to all of the illnesses, but putting all of that behind me today is a good day. I have never felt as good as I do right now, after feeling miserable for the last few months. So I am going to run with it and try to get some writing done today. Also, don't forget that you can get "Swept Away"

Work has begun on my next novel, "Company Policy". It would have been a lot sooner, but I've been plagued by illness since the beginning of this year, and most recently had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment. I am happy to be home now and feeling so much better, as I received wonderful care during my hospital stay and now I am raring to go. I am hoping to have a few sample chapters up in the next month or so. Be assured that I will definitely announce it here the moment it's ready!

Hi gang! Amazon has price-matched "Swept Away" and it is now free everywhere. Also, be sure to visit my website at to save 25% on Survival Tactics: A Novel Of Suspense.

Trying to Survive by Hannah Davenport My rating: 0 of 5 stars I happened to pick up this book while it was on a free promotion during the Christmas holiday, The cover really grabbed me and the storyline seemed to be interesting. I did not know anything about PCD, nor had I ever heard of it. But I liked the fact that the author integrated a disease into the story, as sometimes the characters in the book are too perfect if the writer is trying to hard to pull readers in.(if that makes sense). This was an enjoyable read and I really came to care for the two main characters, their stories written in alternating POV(point of view) I am a fan of this kind of writing, because I like to see the same story from different angles and it puts an interesting spin on things when we can see both sides of a situation. I very much enjoyed reading about Carlana(Lana)and Colin! I am looking forward to the next book in the series, and I really got pulled into the story.
