Facebook Poll

Take a moment to stop by my Facebook page to participate in a poll I am hosting for the chance to help me pick a name for a new character in development for book four! You may also add your own ideas for me to consider! 

Approved for Print

After much designing and then re-designing in order to get the title out of the 'bleed' zone, I have accomplished being approved by CreateSpace for the print cover of Twin Souls! I will be announcing in the [hopefully] near future when it is available to order as a paperback! 

Here is a preview of what it will look like : 

 Front Cover 

 Back Cover 

Dust Jacket 

Needless to say, I am overly excited and proud of the completed work and cannot wait to get my hands on the 'proof' copy! It will be amazing to be able to hold my very own book - something I have dreamt of for years. It may not be on the shelves in countless bookstores, libraries or houses...but one has to start somewhere. 

Twin Souls - Free

My husband and I went through Twin Souls together again to fix any missed errors, add a little depth to Alexis and Salem's relationship, and a few other things. Amazon just now released the updated version, with a shiny new cover and everything. And don't forget - Twin Souls is officially permanently free now! 

Also, if you hadn't noticed - I have done an extensive amount of changes to the layout of the website. The layout was initially gray and blue, but I felt it clashed, so I did a little editing here and there to make it fit my liking. I designed a header to replace the boring text that was originally up there. I am very satisfied with the outcome and think it gives you a feel of what to expect from my books! 

And, on another note, I have designed a dust jacket for the print copy of Twin Souls and am waiting on Amazon to confirm whether it is 'good enough' for their standards...hopefully I will know soon! Once I do, I will let everyone know :] 

My Writing Process & a Surprise

After taking roughly a week's worth of time away from writing my fourth Nevermore book, I did something I have never done with writing. I sat down and wrote a quick outline, laying everything out before me just waiting to be given depth and life. 

Normally, when I begin a new story, I open up a blank document and just let the words flow out, with no intended destination - that all comes to me as I go along. But this book has so much that I needed to figure out and have as perfect as possible that I decided I needed an outline. Ever since I typed up the outline, my writing has progressed and I am happy with the direction it is heading. 

To aid me in writing, I like to be surrounded by comfort - the light, gentle music from my Rock-a-bye Lullabies [if you are unaware, those are rock songs turned into 'lullabies'!], my wax burner swirling the fumes of sugared kiwi melon in the room, relaxed in my leather office chair, with all of the lights out. 

I have also been toying around with Photoshop for the past day and a half [which has taken out a chunk of time that could have been spent writing, but I will forgive myself later], altering the covers of my current novels. With that being said, look out for potential cover changes in the near future. 

Also...Nevermore Four officially has a title! 

Be prepared for Destiny, Nevermore Book 4 this spring~

All Formats!

All three of my books are officially available on all formats! Check the right side bar to be linked to your preferred eBook site! 

Also, Twin Souls is now permanently free and it is going through one final editing process to ensure it is as perfect as it can possibly be - so be looking out for a post about the updated version! 

Brief Change of Course

I have hit a temporary spot of writer's block in the process of writing the fourth book in the Nevermore series. So far, I am only sixteen pages into the story! This is quite unusual for me, as the first three books were written quickly...but there are so many ways that I can write this book, and I am struggling between a few of those options. 

Therefore, in the meantime, I am focusing on a different book - which I am one hundred and twenty-two pages into writing and have dedicated a lot of time to recently. Fear not, however! Nevermore shall continue, I just need to do some brainstorming and perhaps get some outside opinions from some close friends who know the way the story is headed. 

I am attempting to write *at least* 1,500 words a day, whether it be in my new book, or in Nevermore. 

So far this month, after getting over a sinus infection, I have made a lot of progress [excluding yesterday where I didn't quite reach my goal] - 

January 20 - 3,659 words 

January 21 - 1,575 words 

January 22 - 3,275 words 

January 23 - 1,188 words 

Time to do some brainstorming, outlining, and plotting for book four. I can't keep my fans waiting for too long!

Sacrifice is Here!

The long-awaited third book in the Nevermore series is finally here!

'Enraged beyond reason at his returned wife's death, Paul has set his sights not only back on Salem, but on his own daughter Alexis as well. Having little choice other than abandoning their home, Alex, Salem, and Hannah begin to flee to an unknown location. 

After a drop of Alex's blood streaks down her beloved book from her foster mother, the pages transform into a long kept secret journal. Inside what at first seems to be little more than a diary of an ancient vampire slayer, the trio find more than just hunting techniques. Locked within its pages contains hope of a cure, a promise of a new life. 

Will Alex be able to decipher the journal and reach salvation before her vampiric side becomes too hard to control? Can Hannah really be trusted after what she has done? And is Salem really ready to sacrifice all for a normal life?'
