One lost love.

 

One lost best friend.

 

One hot soul reaper.

Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.

Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.

So today was my day off from my day-job.
It’s one of the days I decide, I am going to write a shit-ton and just get this much farther into my book.
Unfortunately last night I had a craving so bad to read a book series that I fell in love with when I first was review-blogging.
I recommended it to my PA and a few weeks ago I was just thinking about it, constantly. Like a random weird
book hang-over from almost over two years ago.
It demanded to be remembered.

I have a point I swear!

Last night I was far too tired to write so I was like well I will open up this book and read it for a bit.
Then I will sleep, wake up early, and start to write. For all day. And get so much done.

Hahaha about that….

I stayed up super late reading the book instead. Woke up stupid early just to finish it.
*yes i book I already read, that I knew how it ended*

So as I finished up the craving to read the rest of the series again hit me like a ton of bricks.
And while flipping between the wonderful world of the facebook and reading, and keeping my netflix going in the background I was talking with some friends

I kid you not when asked what I was up to
my response was this: being a bad author

I felt terribly gulity because I didn’t have a finish project under my belt *meaning a current wip* and yet here I was thinking that I didn’t have the right to just relax and veg out and read for a day

I know right? I know what you are all thinking, how dare I think that I not want to write, or even try to write on my day off. What is wrong with me?
Or maybe you are thinking, nah girl you deserve a day

Well here is a little tibit about me: I sadly feel completely and utterly behind right now. I wanted to have three books out this year, HH was supposed to be done in like April? Date changed so many times even I forgot. Anyhoops the point of this rant is that I feel incredibly behind, and letting each one of my readers down. by not trying to get words down every day and finishing this books up

Well after my messaging my friend and trust me they tell me this all the time is that i can take breaks that, i am allowed that

Today was sort of my eye-opening like…oh holy fuck I can.

I work full time as it is, at a very demanding job, im staring at computer for most of the day, dealing with customers, my co-workers and overall its exhausting.

I love writing, I do. but its also a lot of work and right now im trying to push out Burned because that is what i want to release next, I really, really do. But when your muse, little voices, or characters whatever you want to call it, are pulling you in a different direction sometimes all you can do is go along. That is for a different post though

okay so what I decided.
It’s okay to take a break.
My author friends, my blogger friends, my reader friends, my other industry friends
My huge revelation that will change no one’s lives is this:

ITS OKAY TO TAKE A BREAK

It’s okay.
You’re human.
You need a break.
Just like the snickers commercials says you need to eat.
I am telling you, you need to take a break sometimes and even if you are feeling behind
Even if you are feeling behind and you know that you need to get work done. Take a break.

So now that my great revelation that everyone already knew about has been revealed
That is what I did with my day. I vegged. I read.
it was fucking amazing
not even going to lie.

Read on my loves
and if you are interested in knowing the titles of the Books that were consuming my mind these are it:
Eden
Eden West
Eden South
Eden East
by Janelle Stalder

These last couple of months, well really now that I look at it, this first half of this year

Was…Insane

Here is another semi-in-depth look into what happened.

I……posted-phoned Hexed Hearts on my own schedule because after much decision with a very good friend of mine, she and I decided I was falling back on a lot of my “bad habits”, and pretty much escape-goats. Making this decision, I pushed back the book by almost three months because my first choice editor at the time was booked for the next couple months.

During that time I was working on the first well quarter of Burned, I was supposed to be working on Tamed, then I ran into a huge plot hole problem, it was messy. So anyways I was working on it and then I was getting antsy about HH, to say i was distracted was an understatement

Jump forward to March, editing time *got my determined face on*
I am not going into specifics here…I was getting nervous and ready for UtopYA (three months left i needed to order swag, books, overall freakout) and things with HH weren’t going great

Jump forward to April and HH is pushed back again me and new editor and I are working our bumbums off on this. Not only that but I am making huge decisions in my “non-writing” life. I had been working two jobs and I decided that in the end it would be best for me to go full time at one and drop the other. I didn’t want to leave my first job but I was under way amount of stress so downgrading seemed like the best plan for me. It was, but it was also a bit of a transition.

So Rush through April, and now its May and Hexed Hearts is still being edited, all my time is dedicated to that, and to my new full time position where we had 2 employees leave, and still getting ready for UtopYA

The beginning of June felt like a blur to me. It was a count down to the long awaited UtopYA, it was the release of Hexed Hearts, it was insanity.

So

UtopYA 2015

It was really amazing this year 🙂
I was so excited to have been able to go and have a half a table all on my own, and try to be a big girl. I clung though. teeheee. I had the best across the table mates, and table mates. I was excited to have gone again this year and I can’t wait for next year. I was so excited to hang with all these people I have been talking to online for months, almost a whole year.
Anyways This was my couple weeks ago and I miss it dearly. This, books, authors, readers, human beings who understand my love for writing and reading, that is my world. I hate to say good bye to it, and have to wait almost another year to go back.

So anyways

Now June is almost done.
Can you believe that? An entire half a year passed already!
People warned me that time goes by faster the older you get, I totally understand that now.

So here is where I am at:

Hunter’s Heart is the companion piece of Hexed Hearts. This is Hexed Hearts in Hunter’s POV, no I don’t have a synponsis ready but I will make one up on the fly for you in a bit. But here is the thing, back in the day before I wrote for publishing purposes, I usually wrote my books in one person’s point of view, *much like Hexed Hearts is written* Here is a fun little tidbit for you, Damaged was the first book I ever attempted to write the Male’s POV much less dual points of view. I found out that I sort of loved it. And I had planned on doing that with HH but Hunter was QUIET, silent, even.
So I pushed on with only Colette’s POV and she was such an amazing character for me that I didn’t really need to do both. BUT then he started to talk a little more than half way through he wanted his story heard.

Bastard

Alrightie moving on to my on the fly, going to totally change synopsis for my boy Hunter

Hunter’s Heart

The steady rhythm of my feet and my heart.
Alone.
I had been raised a lone wolf. I had a curse placed on me when I was young, making my wolf more powerful than the man.

Hunter had given up hope of a mate long before he knew what it meant. He had been set on a lone life, as an enforcer, doing what was best for his wolf. He lived by his wolf’s needs.
When a scent his wolf would never forget takes over him he will do anything to find her.
His mate.
What Hunter wasn’t expecting was Colette. A girl with a mysterious past, and an even more dangerous future.

Terrible? Yeah 😉 it needs more work

Anyways I am maybe 1/4 of the way through that. I have been trying to write after I get out of work, before I go into work, on the weekends. I haven’t made a whole lot of progress because I am still recovering 😉

I had to change the order of the Rebirth Series … again
This time Burned was moved forward and Tamed was moved back

So where I am I at with my Rebirth Series?

Currently I am a little more than 1/4 of the way through Burned as well * i am farther word wise in this then Hunter’s Heart* But I am going to tell you all a bit of a secret. I totally considered cutting everything I wrote and starting over. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the beginning. I am still not 100% but I am going to try to move forward in it.

I’ve mentioned before that I HATE writing two things at once because I don’t feel like I am getting anywhere. At the beginning of the year, before everything happened. I was hoping to have Hexed Hearts out two months ago, and Burned into edits by now if not further than that.

I hate to disappoint you all, and you all know that. I just want you all to know that I am working, I am writing and right now I need to write what comes to me. I have been stuck on a spot in Burned for a couple months, granted i haven’t really put much thought into it but since I am off for a couple months from preparing for Conferences or etc. I am working my ass off to move forward in both projects

Please if you want to keep up with me and be updated, I will do my best on the facebook, but I am going to try to do better at turning it off and writing. I feel behind 😦

So I candied up, and turned the facebook off every now and then and have been working

I hope this update helped you all understand where abouts I am and what I am up to

You are all amazing
I hope for those you haven’t checked out Hexed Hearts that you do, and I hope you enjoy it

Hello everyone

Have I mentioned I am terrible at keeping up with blogs? Usually I am much better with facebook but if you follow me there you know I have been sort of silent on there as well. Well what gives?

Last time I popped on here it was to give you all some sort of sad news, the release for Hexed Hearts was being pushed back

I know, I know i felt the same way. After struggling with Damaged, and then Damaged again, and then Damaged one more time along with Healed that time around, and Stolen. I thought I had it down this time. I thought i got all my little duckies in a row

Well I thought I did. O.o Crazy duckies

And now Hexed Hearts will FINALLY be releasing on June 8th *yeah two days away less than that really* And I think that most people know the story behind all my um…*problems* but each release should get easier right? It should be clock-work by now because i am releasing – can you believe this because i can’t my FOURTH book

No not that four but that would be nice *.*

I should right? It should be easy as pie?

I’ve actually found for me its getting harder each release. Each release I am trying to find ways to make a bigger splash to, have people see it and notice it. Is that selfish? Probably. But as I am going to begin to jump through hoops to keep my full time job, I realize that yeah i need to do everything i can do to succeed here. Indies say they write because they love it, and its true. But I want this to be what i get to do every day. I don’t want to have to sneak in time here and there and over there. But that means each book has to be better than the next

And that means I have to be better. And that means I have to work a lot fucking harder

But I am finding that sometimes I keep running into the same problem

Over and over and over again.

I am not even going to lie there as been multiple times I have thought about stopping. Like legit sending out the last book into the cyber world then closing up shop. It would be a lot easier. I wouldn’t have so much stress and I would sure as hell have a lot more money. *yeah you read that right* This is not a get rich scheme. Hell I just want enough that i could live off of while still being able to cut back part time or *gasp* quit my day job

Anyways I will get off my high horse

The point of this post is to say this: I have run into many problems, even with this book right now, with my new kickass editor. And I still keep trying. I am running myself through the wringer, because at the end of the day, yeah if I reach one reader to messages me and tells me that my first book – my hidden shame *yes i call it that, yes we all have that one book we look at and think, I wish i could have done it differently* made them fall in love with reading again.

It’s worth it.

So this is my long-winded way of saying come Monday June 8th when my fourth book is release I will be proud of what I have done. I worked my ass off, and a – well practically a village worked their asses off for me as well – For that I am proud.

I am in the cone of shame

For why you ask?
Because yet again I set up a release day and I am blowing right through it
Well the hope is that one day I will get this right 😉

So let me explain what happened. First off, no I am not going to say names, and please don’t ask because I am not here to attack just to explain the situation.

So the beginning of January Hexed Hearts was through betas, and all done being written and was supposed to go off to the editor. I <– me — after having a discussion with who I consider my mentor, friend, and all around amazing person, decided it would be best if I went through it one more time, Really go in there and flesh it out, try to pick apart my bad-habits.
I agreed, only to find out my editor was booked up until March. Well because of *obvious* issues I had, had in the past I agreed to just wait, push back my original *in mind date* All the while this was happening, in real life I was getting use to working two jobs, paying bills, and just trying to get other writing in but I was honestly having writers block. I felt a lot stuck too because HH was on the back-burner when I knew that it was ready for an editor.
All the while *this does have something to do with the overall story i promise* I found out that a friend of mine from way back when actually started his own editing service. I was super excited to hear about it and told him I would keep him in mind for later works but I already had set something up with a different editor for HH
so that is what I was going to do.
FINALLY MARCH!!!
I made it through a freezing February

And March was here! I was ecstatic! Editor had HH and I was going to write, and wait patiently for editor to finish. I am not here to place blame, and I am not here to dirty anyone’s name, hence why I am NOT going to say the name but you deserve to hear what happened and why I am behind.
Our three weeks were up and I didn’t have anything from editor. We talked and in the end we had to go our separate ways.
So what did this mean for me? I had a partially edited book, and a creeping deadline.

So yeah I was so not freaking out or anything. All the while I had been working on my secret project with a bunch of other amazing authors which by the way is coming VERY VERY SOON

*wink wink*

I had been working with that friend from way back when on these edits to see how we worked together. Well it turns out, he is really good for me. He pushes me, and makes me do better. Well I begged and pleaded *pretty much just asked* if he could help me out with Hexed Hearts. He went looked through the partially edited copy I had and decided it would probably be best we just start over. Each editor, edits different ways, and I agreed to do that.

So where does this put us? This was happening in the last week of march/ first week of April. so new editor and I began work on HH, but have I mentioned that this book is big? Like a lot bigger than any other of my books (aka 122000 words to give you a reference 389 pages in word (double spaced)

I KNOW! Crazy!

Here is the thing, I wanted this release to go so, so right and so amazing because I am beyond proud of the book I had produced. So i signed up with Xpresso Tours for a book blitz/release blitz thing which was supposed to be happening in four days (that was the deadline for us)

I made the very tough decision to cancel the book blitz for now, I am rescheduling that, but the reason I canceled is because I honestly don’t think we will finish HH and do the job that it deserves if we try to squish it into four days being we are on chapt 12-14 out of 32

So yeah.

I am not trying to place blame on editor 1, I am not. Because I was the one who pushed off in the beginning of the year, and shit happens. I get that.
I wish i could say that I could pull a miracle out of my ass but here is the thing, I told you all that editor 2 really pushes me. And he does. I am even more proud of HH and all the work we have done on it so far that I hope you all understand that as much as I want to give this you like three days ago, I am thinking it might be a little longer

Trust me when I say this sucks. It really does. I was expecting at this time of the year to be finishing up the last bits of Burned and getting it prepared for betas and editor.

Like I said though life happens, shit happens.
Both editor and I have other jobs, and other things going on in our lives that as much as i wish i could say we could spend every waking moment on this, we can’t. I wouldn’t ever ask him of that either.

I can’t promise a date yet.
I am so sorry. I can’t even explain how sorry I am.

So in other news! (happier news)
I have just ordered a whole slew of swag that i am very excited about
And i got a banner! I am going to wait to reveal that until I get the physical one here!
But i got a new fancy logo that I am head over heels with!
Here:
It’s it amazing?!?!?!?!
I love it!
Anyhoops I am still working two jobs but that might be changing soon and i might be downgrading to one but upgrading to full time. It sucks but it would guarantee me two days off which means two full days of just writing stuff! EEEE!!
I have been working on a very special treat for UtopYA that I am hoping I will be able to do at other cons!
pssst its a Rebirth Paranormal Personality Quiz 😉
And I have that short coming out very soon!! I can’t wait for you all to meet Dom and see my more saucy side 😉

Excerpt:
I took in a huge breath and stuck out my hand.

“Colette Doe, and you are?” I waited. Yellow eyes didn’t move his arms from their resting place in front of his chest.

“Your mate.”

Well this was going to be more fun than I thought.

“I am trying here. Can you please?” I asked. I jutted my arm out again as if emphasizing the fact that I was standing there like an idiot.

“Hunter Felan,” he said. Hunter took a step closer finally letting his arms drop but he didn’t take my hand in his.

“Awesome, you have a name yellow eyes.” I said with a smile.

Hunter narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t call me that,” he said. He moved a little closer.

“What? Don’t like that pet name? How about growly voice? It is the only name I had for you since I met you.”

At that remark he snarled and moved into my space.

“You would have known my name before if you had asked.” He said through clenched teeth. His eyes flashed.

“I was partially unconscious since I’ve known you, thanks to you.” I said. My eye twitched, my body started to hum with anger.

“How the fuck was I supposed to know you pack-bonded with another wolf?”

I narrowed my eyes this time. A comeback was coming I could feel it. He waited, he looked like he was ready to let his firm line of a mouth relax, and a triumphant look in his eyes started to shine. When it hit me and I leaned back on my heels a satisfied smile spread across my lips.

“When I started to scream in pain because I was being ripped away from him. Unless you think so lowly of yourself, that I would cry just being pulled to you.” As satisfied as I was that I thought I won this, he looked more pleased by the second.

“So indirectly you just told me you find me attractive.” His mouth was now in a relaxed smile.

“I didn’t imply that, at all.” I sputtered.

“You did.” He was moving closer and closer.

Somehow my back found the wall, and my chest was about to be pressed against his. I looked up from the middle of his chest to his eyes. I swallowed hard. My heart took on a new beat, and butterflies flocked my stomach. My eyes collided with his and my wolf came to the surface. I had never felt her so strongly before. It was like she was looking out of my eyes for me, and seeing his wolf who also seemed to be right on the edge of his skin.

“She finds me attractive.” He whispered brushing his knuckles against my cheek.

Where his knuckles touched, I felt a trail of heat following. My knees never felt so weak. My eyelids had a mind of their own and started to shut from his delicate touches. My body seemed to bow at its own will. My lips suddenly felt too dry. I thought about licking them but I quickly stopped that thought from forming.

Yeah excited right? Did you see that right, synopsis reveal?!

YEEEAAAHHH

It’s here finally! The synopsis reveal for Hexed Hearts

Let me put this out here first though

I know I am evil 😉

Kay here it goes: Hexed Hearts IS NOT – i repeat – IS NOT part or connected to the Rebirth Series AT ALL

This is a standalone novel, that I do sincerely hope people see and read as a standalone. But because I am crazy and an author there is no way in hell I could possibly let this book stand all alone in this beautiful awesome universe I created. So there will be a companion piece for this novel in the male’s POV – cause yup you guessed it, this is completely in one persons POV. Unfortunately my main man in this book decide to be come quite loud about a half way through. I am a firm believer if starting a series or book a certain way (aka in one POV) to keep it that way. Hence why all the Rebirth Series will always be in two peoples POVS, and why any book that may *cough cough probably cough cough* follow in this “series” will also be in ONE person’s POV. Its a personal choice. I am sure readers don’t care but i honestly do, it isn’t a make or break when i read something but it does bother me some. We all have preferences right?

So I will stop talking FINALLY and give you the synopsis

Before we get the pitch forks and torches out let me explain

So I am trying to get better at keeping up here, and keeping up on facebook with post and what nots.
Most of you know I work at two other jobs – if you didn’t know you do ^.^
And I am not quite sure why but anytime I decide to come to the basement to catch up on TV – while I try to write – I always decide to write a blog post – sooooo I should try to catch up on TV more often is what I am saying 😉 cause then I get on here to write an explanatory blog to you all wonderfuls who I adore.

So heres the happs!

This coming Saturday – November 8th is so very exciting! Why?
Because I am going to an signing! I don’t want to say my “First” but it sort of is my first. I know I went to UtopYA got a featured spot at Carlyle L.’s table, we have been through this, but this is the first time I will be on my own, and there exclusively for me! O.O <— yes shakes in boots!

Besides mine aren’t baby seal…..O.O

So if you are in Michigan and close enough by please come and support me and many other MI authors!

Alright.

Here is the deal awhile back I gave you a better understanding of where the Rebirth Series was headed, and what I was planning for releases. BUT

This is one of the reasons I don’t put my books up on GR (Goodreads) before I actually start writing them and I am more than half way through – even then sometimes I do put it up until I am DONE writing the thing…why? Because I …
am…

A pantser

What does this mean?

A pantser: (Becca’s definition) – A pantser is a writer who doesn’t plot, they write as they go and hope for the best. New ideas come to them as they write.

A pantser: (An official definition) – A NaNoWriMo term that means that you ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ when you are writing your novel. You have nothing but the absolute basics planned out for your novel.
(sourced from urban dictionary)

So what this means for me, is that while I thought I had the Rebirth Series all figured out now. I didn’t.
Let me explain, when I started to write Damaged it was actually derived from *dramatic music* Hexed Hearts!
Crazy I know (Hexed Hearts is that werewolves/witches book I have been working on) The idea of Audrey came from the beginning of Hexed Hearts. Weird I know. Anyways Damaged was originally going to be a standalone, then these two characters started to come alive, and this whole new idea formed – and TA-DA Rebirth Series

Here is some even more craziness! Book two was originally supposed to be Nixie’s! buuuttt her story wasn’t coming to me, instead Elijah of all people was practically SCREAMING at me. So I took out Nixie’s epilogue and inserted Elijah’s. This is where the – me being a pantser comes into play – and also just being a writer.

Let’s take a second to detour real quick.

Muses:

They come in all shapes and sizes, but here is the thing, if you force writing, more times than not it feels forced. I understand that the indie community has started to spoil readers and trust me I am in on this with you other readers! Give me my next book in my series like yesterday please and thank you! We as indie authors can do that now, we can produce than one book in a series a year, hell some people are crazy enough to FINISH series in one year. BUUTTT sometimes authors get stuck and that is when they produce that random other book during your series.

Well here I am going to let you in on a secret

Author’s muses run and decide the game. A lot of times I know authors say its their authors that are their muses at the time. Well that is true for me.

Obviously – because you notice what Elijah did? He took. He took his spot as the next in the series. So back to that-ness, yeah circled back 😉

Here is the thing Amani who one of my favorite new characters sort of started out really loudly at the end of Healed has become extremely quite while a sultry, new accented voice as started up….

Amani

VS

                     Marcus

So after thinking about it… I realized something actually really important to the plot of the ENTIRE series. Actually a HUGE plot hole. HUGE HUGE HUGE PLOT HOLE one that even with the help of my friend Desiree DeOrto I still don’t feel comfortable with. So after talking to Jennifer my new PA and taking a couple days to really think about it – because I didn’t think when I made the first decision.

Tamed – (Amani’s book) is being flipped with

Burned – (Marcus’ book) so next to release – after Stolen will be – Burned. I honestly sat down thought and “plotted” as much as I could and I feel very good about this decision. I realize that some people were VERY excited about Ami’s book and I am sorry I was all for writing her book but …. this feels more right to me.

I understand that Healed has Amani’s epilogue

So I have a few options I can

1) Pull Amani’s epilogue from Healed and insert Marcus’s which will be posted here as well
B ) Write Marcus’s epilogue in Stolen
III) Reveal Marcus’s epilogue here on my blog

So that is my biggest newest news to share right now.

Like I said I realize that this might upset some readers but in the end I have to do what is going to be best for my series and what my “muse” demands of me.

So I know I am terrible about keeping up with this blog I am sorry!
I try to stay active on my Facebook page at the very least. And I posted there awhile back with an update on the Rebirth Series and other projects *wiggly eyebrows*

And I pointed something out to myself when I did that, people don’t live inside of my head

……

Crazy I know right?

So while I came to this epiphany I also realized a lot of times I don’t post about what I am writing on, editing on, or in general DOING on my facebook page or here. So I wanted to get everyone caught up on book related things first.

So my books:

The Rebirth Series: 

Damaged: There are some beings in this world, long thought to be extinct. Some seek to protect them, others want control, but some . . . some are hell bent on their destruction.

Audrey was taken from her father, hidden away from the world, and tortured for five years. She was rescued, but is she really safe, or is there someone else waiting to betray her? Can she trust those who saved her? Can she learn to accept who she really is?

Stone was on a routine mission to extract valuable information from a rival clan of paranormals. Instead, he and his team find something much more valuable: a scarred, damaged young woman who holds many secrets, and whose power is beyond anything they could ever have imagined.There is much more to Audrey than meets the eye and Stone is determined to protect her.

Audrey and Stone are about to find out it’s hard to know who to trust.

Healed: The race is on to find the Rebirth paranormals.

Elijah doesn’t have feelings. He doesn’t care, nor does he empathize, until the day Audrey was found. While searching her mind telepathically, things suddenly changed for him. He never imagined that he would face all the emotions plaguing him. Now he is on a mission to find the rumored Rebirth creature. What happens when a creature never meant to feel anything suddenly becomes attached to another?

Valentine always knew there was something…different about her. While she hated even the thought of blood, she loved to help those in need. She felt an instant connection with her patients and always strived to save lives. Her adoptive sister always told her that she cared too much. That she couldn’t save everyone. And now there is a colder than ice man in her life that won’t go away, and won’t take no for an answer. The problem is, she never wanted to push him away, even though she knows he will be her downfall.

Stolen: Author Note: This book takes place before and during Damaged, it can be read before, but I strongly urge that this be read AFTER Damaged. (this isn’t a gimmick or anything, the way the story is set it does do spoilers for Damaged)

Xavier is set to protect the dying races. As a fierce gargoyle warrior, he isn’t meant to love deeply.
Drake is the last of his kind, and survival isn’t easy.
Xavier recognizes Drake as his true mate the first time they meet. However, Drake’s tormented past has led him to the wrong woman. Xavier must do what he can to save Drake from the choices he’s made. If Drake’s resentment, fears, and stubborn denial can be overcome, they’ll have a love that could bridge the races.
This isn’t a story of redemption. This is their story.

Warning: This is an adult book. There are exploit scenes of sex, torture, and violence. This isn’t meant for readers under the age of 18. Please note this is a Male/Male Romance.

Releasing: Winter 2014 <– yes! alright here we go with the real updates

Stolen is a prequel that I am hoping that could be read as a standalone/if someone wanted to start from here could. So that is why I had made the tough decision to go with a new editor for Stolen completely. Katherine Eccelston did the editing for Healed and I was pleased as peach working with her, but I needed someone who hadn’t been connected to the series AT ALL to read/edit this novella.

Rare Bird’s owner – Jessica and I are going to begin working on edits Oct 1st, I am excited, thrilled, nervous as hell! This was totally out of my comfort zone, and I can honesty say that I am glad I did it. So I am hoping but I won’t set a release date until I actually start working on the edits – because of past issues – for a late – but mostly likely early November release for Stolen

That will concluded my releases for 2014 I wish i could say I had another one to surprise you with, but I don’t. So let me continue on with the rest of the series.

Tamed: (here i will give you an exclusive look see at the TENTATIVE synopsis)

Amani was happy in her small town sort of life with her best friend and adoptive sister, Valentine. When she was forced out of her home, and into the servitude of the Long Clan things could never go back to how they were. The clans were changing becoming more violent, and suddenly being a rare Djinn was not safe outside of the protection of a clan. When Amani joins the York Clan with Valentine she jumps at the chance to escape Valentine always trying to heal her. What Amani doesn’t expect to find off on an adventure to find the rumored rebirth paranormal she heard so much about was an all too stubborn, all too dominant male that she might find hard to resist.

Benedict had always known what he was. Different. While he didn’t prefer the company of people over animals he did end up always being the leader. People seemed to always submit around him. He was okay with it, being too dominant himself, yet when a purple haired, Indian woman walks into his life he realizes not everyone wants to be tamed. Benedict is about to learn about his heritage and how dominant he really can be.

Old enemies are back with a personal vendetta against Amani and determined to snag the next greatest Rebirth paranormal. Amani and Benedict need to learn how to get along in order to outsmart and outmaneuver their enemies.

Expected Release Date: Early Spring 2015

 I would like to point out this is a TENTATIVE title for this book

Since I did it with on already how about just the last two as well 😉
(please remember these are tentative synopsis-es things are subject to change, as Broken was meant to be the second to release things may change for this in general)

The paranormal world is in chaos. While clans begin to draw lines, the search for Rebirth paranormals rages on.

Nixie, a siren with a feisty, peppy attitude is so done with a certain werewolf’s antics. She is ready to forget and move on. The problem is, the past isn’t ready to let her go, and neither is a certain werewolf. Now torn between returning to the sea, or staying on land with her friends, Nixie finds out some interesting things about her past she wasn’t ever prepared for.

Dallas said good-bye to the girl he thought was his one true mate. His father reminding him every step of the way that a creature of the earth and a being of the sea could never be. Dallas had all the makings of being the Alpha of his own pack, especially after being trained and prepared by his father. Is he willing to give up the girl he loves to lead the pack or will he be there when Nixie needs him the most?

The search for the Rebirth paranormals has begun, and some may be closer than they think.

Tentative Release Date: Summer 2015

The Conclusion to the Rebirth Series

Burned (This may contain spoilers please be aware of that, that is why I don’t tend to post my synopsis-es before the next book is out)

Marcus had always been a bit different in the fey community. He was always spending more time in the human realm than in the shade. He was meant to be a prince there, but refuses to take the title. When the fey start to notice an increase of exist paranormals reappearing they start to become interested. While Marcus tries to work on smoothing things over with the fey community and the rest of the paranormals he discovers what he had been missing and waiting for, for a very long time.

Althea knew who and what she was since a very young age. She could remember past lives, in different, yet somehow always familiar bodies. People had always been after her for as long as she could remember. The feathers that she so long had protected had been ripped from her back more times and she cared to count and she wished for a final death. When she runs into a fellow red head she thinks nothing of it. Until yellow eyes stare back at her she knows that she couldn’t outrun him forever.

War has come. The last of the rebirth paranormals emerge. And change is coming.

Tentative Release: Winter 2015

That is the Rebirth Series. I have been asked a couple times if there will be another book, and in reviews people always say they hope there is. There is! Don’t you fret! I don’t mind being messaged about these things I don’t so please message away! But I figured for the general public to might think I bite – which I don’t I would put this out there for you all ^.^

Now onto other projects.

I am sticking with PNR for awhile ^.^

Untitled <- yes. no title yet, and no I am not trying to be super sneaky about the title if I had a title for you, I would have announced it already because I am 70,000+ words into the book! Hehehe and I am just a little over half way

I know.

And I don’t have a synopsis for it yet either……O.O I know i am horrible. This is what I will tell you:
Witches. Werewolves.

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: Early (as in early early) 2015 – think late Feb, early March

This book is meant to be read as a standalone and I am still upset with the main male in this book, he didn’t chose to speak up until 40,000 words in, and by then it was too late to go and add in his chapters sooooooooo there will be a novella in his POV of this book and explore the deep, dark mind that is Hunter.

Also I had another idea brewing for this universe so there will also be a companion piece that can be read as a standalone as well, the only real connections will the the universe this is set in.

Anyways back to Untitled since this is my current WIP it is going to be the next released

I want to state this right here and now: I understand the compulsion a new story holds over an author, sometimes its so strong that even if you have another series going on you CANNOT ignore it. That is sort of what happened to me with Healed even, Elijah’s book was supposed to be released AFTER Nixie’s book Broken) but he called to me. He was demanding most of my attention. Annnnnd unfortunately I both wanted a little break from the Rebirth series, not to mention Colette and Hunter’s story (Untitled) was calling to me. Demanding my attention. Also it kinda came before the Rebirth Series.

Untitled was a book I started over a year and a half ago, and the beginning sort of helped create Damaged to be honest. So okay back to what I was saying, when I started the Rebirth series I told myself if i was going to publish this first then I wouldn’t stop until it was it was finished – the whole series. I know how much it sucks waiting for a new book in a series, and even worse when the author seems to be starting new projects all over the place and seems to have forgotten this series YOU have fallen in love with and dying for the next one. So trust me I understand. And I broke my promise to myself, and I am going to release Untitled after Stolen. But my HOPE is that there will be no more interruptions for the Rebirth Series after this one.

So that means Hunter’s novella and the companion piece is something I will be working on as I write the rest of the Rebirth Series or AFTER. But in the end its what the muse wants I suppose.

I see you falling asleep on me!! sorry!!! I know I talk a lot and get distracted easily.

So other than the ideas floating in my head which I am not ready to share about that is what I have planned for the rest of this year, and the next year. Really it all comes down to how much time I get to write, how much $$$ I have to spend on covers, formatting, editors, etc, and my character’s keeping up telling me their stories.

Feel free to friend me on facebook if you ever want to keep way up to date, I sometimes post on there word counts or frustrations, but please note it is my personal page as well, so I might post stuff you might not give two shits about. Also please be respectful of me, don’t just add me to get me to like your page or have me donation to something and never talk to me again. I do like talking to people, its how I met my new PA Jennifer.

But I also work 4-5 jobs soooo I am not always around either.
