R-r-roar!
I’m an Indie author, hear me r-r-roar!
I’m resilient
I’m invincible
I’m an indie author
(Inspired by “I am Woman,” a song written by Helen Reddy and released in 1972)
The onset of the New Year has granted me reason to roar:
'An Enlightening Quiche,' in the category of Contemporary Women’s Fiction, is one of the judges’ finalists in the 2018 Golden Book Award contest. Anyone who has read my book, or any one of the featured finalists, you’re welcome to add a comment in contribution to the “Readers’ Choice Award” contest.

A recent review for 'An Enlightening Quiche' was published in January’s issue of Indie Publishing News, Issue 20.
An excerpt:
Most writers put words together in an attempt to create an understandable story. Few writers are considered artists who bombard the pages with vivid colors of vocabulary. Eva Pasco is an artist. Her book, “An Enlightening Quiche,” is a gallery in a novel.

I’m looking forward to an upcoming interview conducted by speculative fiction author Bryan Aiello via his “Stories on Creativity” podcast on January 19th @ 8 PM EST.

Hear my r-r-roar for laying the foundation of my WIP in the genre of Contemporary, 'Aida’s Fishing Ground!' Having written the prologue, I’m underway with chapter 1.
May every Indie author have something to roar about to stave the anguish over sluggish, sporadic, or stagnant book sales.
Eva’s Byte #283 – Falling into Place
Another weekly blog first composed in longhand on spiral notebook paper. A widespread power outage in the East Bay area occurred just before 8:00 a.m. EST. Gusty winds at 69 mph predisposed trees to fall and down power lines during the rainstorm. Ironically, I came up with the title for #283 the day before the storm hit.
As the gravity of life tends to propel the tough to get going when the going gets tough, I got going. I’ve persevered in the aftermath of my beloved 15-year-old feline, Hope, crossing over the rainbow bridge on September 15th.
Hot-wired, I geared up for autumn in overdrive.
Things have been falling into place: Walls dry-mopped and sponged; windows washed and blinds wiped; carpet shampooed; closets, cupboards, and drawers reorganized; furniture rearranged.
All in the guise of filling in the void of loss, acutely felt.
Exhausted by the remains of the day, I’ve been less than eager to further my Contemporary along. But, self-pressure induced me to soldier on. Things are falling into place at the onset of drafting chapter 57, part 3 in my work in progress. I’ve gotten my mojo back.
Goes to show, no matter what storm we’re in the middle of, our spirit cannot be felled.
*My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
