I have just released my multi-generational family saga, RAIN (print and e-book).
Set in provincial Australia in the early sixties, Rain is a multigenerational family saga that chronicles the lives of three generations of the Wallin sawmilling dynasty. It explores the often difficult but enduring ties between mothers and daughters, men and women: the sacrifices, compromises, and patterns of emotion that repeat themselves through generations.
In a journey that spans four decades and crosses the globe, Rain is an epic tale of the choices and consequences that comprise one family’s history. By turn dark and amusing, Rain delivers an emotionally charged revelation about love, loss, guilt, self-discovery and redemption. The enduring question of family bonds—escapable or not, divides, conquers, and triumphs.
My post, "Killing Her Softly," was featured on Blogher yesterday. Pioneer Woman and friends tweeted about it last night and I am coming up on 10,000 views in 24 hours! (I recommend you have tissues close by). http://www.blogher.com/member/writingdianet
I'm new to She Writes and excited to be here. I've just posted about my experience (so far) with She Writes and how I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. She Writes rocks! So please check out my post at http://monicastangledweb.com/2011/04/07/she-writes/
My creative non-fiction piece "The Language of the Landscape" appears in the current issue of Praxilla: "My children were born of place, of ancient names; born of snail—táx’, and Raven—Yéil, of Hoonah—Xuniyaa, of Tlingit Aaní. Their Tlingit identity is dependent upon a social relationship to their ancestral landscape, Southeast Alaska. This relationship is in danger of disappearing: our Elders tell us that if we do not know our names, our way of life will disappear."
I have a wonderful new site for my "micro fiction!" http://charactersinsearchofanovel.com is an offshoot of my twitter identity @insearchofnovel, which has become a little tiny cult. Please visit my site, where my characters beg for attention and even have their own store! molly

I have three poems published in Milk Sugar. The poems are from my soon-to-be-published collection "The Hide of My Tongue" (Plain View Press, 2011). The poems depict the struggles of those involved in the Tlingit language revitalization. Of the eight hundred Native American languages, more than five hundred are in danger of extinction. Lingit Yoo Xatangi.
There will be a Book Launch Celebration for my third collection of poetry, In the Palms of Angels (Press 53) at the Derrick L.

I'm thrilled to announce my two new books: ADeadlyCurse is a romantic suspense which centers on the Mexican legend of la Llorona, and The Tricked-out Toolbox: Promotion and Marketing Tools Every Writer Needs will be released next week! It's been a banner month.
Congrats to everyone on their good news!
