Are You Keeping Secrets from Yourself?

Can You Keep a Secret? Most of us would bobbing our heads yes as we read this, but are you so good at keeping secrets that you are hiding them from yourself? Confused? Please allow me to explain. Are there things in life that you really want to do, but keep putting them to the side and the next thing you know years have flown by?

Years ago this was me as well. There was a voice screaming inside my head to take another path, but why? I had a great job (so I thought), a husband, and kids. What more could I want? The more I ignored the voice the more my life began to spiral downhill. My job started going through changes in leadership causing me extra stress, as if I needed anymore being in the military. Without going into great detail basically my voice screamed and I shouted back I could take it. Well, I took it until I was darn near a basket case. Finally, I said the hell with it all and listened to the voice. It said I am a writer, not just the part time I was doing with it, but as in that is what I needed to do. It was one of the hardest things in the world but I listened and now I am at peace.

Listen to your inner voice. If you don't you will not find peace. It's yelling at you to do what it is you are called to do. I am a writer. What secret are you keeping from yourself?

Until Next Time,

Definition of Success

I learned early on that my level isn’t the same as everyone else’s definition of where I should be. For me success is any milestone I cross which propels me forward in my career and life in general. That being said, this past weekend in Decatur bust my definition wide open. With every book sold my spirit soared further and further into the clouds. I am surprised I was able to come down in order to write this blog. 

This festival boasted a myriad of talent writing in every genre you could imagine and some I never heard of. With so many authors to choose from I am overly thankful they found their way into my booth with cash and credit card extended to purchase. Those who didn’t purchase took a flyer in order to by online later, and guess what from checking my ratings on Amazon this morning it seemed as if they did. 

 Me inspiring young minds

Even without the dozens of books I sold at the event I would have still been happy because my name and pen name is getting out there to the masses. More people learning I exist is a level of success to me. You never know whose hands it may fall in.

 Me spreading my seduction

My simple affirmation is to keep on moving forward. Had I given up on book one I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now, people feel confident in my work to pre-order my new work. Some lady bought all 5 of my titles on hand and handed me cash for Rise and Fall of a Track Star to send to her. I was accustomed to the online pre-orders but cash in hand from a stranger….wow!

My question to my aspiring and established authors out there is what is your level of success? Is it too high for you to relish in immediate gratification or so low you are only happy to sell to your family?

Until next time!

Decatur Book Festival Excitement

I am counting down until Friday, the day I hop on the road for destination Decatur Book Festival. Though I have been to many events I must admit that this one tops all the rest. The atmosphere, the people, and of course the sales! The people of Decatur, GA know why they are coming out and that is to buy books. I have my Erotic Fiction and YA all packed up and ready to go. I will find humor in the men sneaking peeks at my books and be surprised when the old couples purchase with a grin (they are my favorite). Events like these make being an author all the more enjoyable. Look out GA here I come.

Passionate Playmates, Seduction.com, Can You Keep a Secret? for my erotic titles and Unloved and The Baby Girl for my YA. I will also be passing out flyers for Rise and Fall of a Track Star. Yes, it is finally in the final stages of publishing!! I am even taking pre-orders from my website. www.omegiakeeys.com.

So if you are in the area this Labor Day stop on by and pick up a great read by yours truly along with books by your other favorite author.

Until Next Time,
