Pity Party for One

Don't mind me....just having one of those days were I feel like I have to write it all out. Maybe it's:

a) the weather
b) I'm seeing all of these other books coming out that look so great
c) I just need a vacation to a nice warm, tropical place with crystal blue water.....yeah, I think that's it!

So why do you ask am I having this pity party? Well, because of letter A I have been cooped up in the house and instead of turning into Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining. I've been focusing on writing. To tell you that I am completely in love with the story that I'm writing at the moment doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. I know, I know.....I say that with every book that I'm writing but what kind of author would I be if I didn't fall completely in love with my characters and feel all of their ups an downs? So, I'm almost 3/4 of the way done with my 6th novel.....I should be happy right? Well, here's were the problem lies. I want to share this book (and all my books) with each and every reader out there. But with there being so many awesome books out there.....it kind of makes it hard to not get lost in the shuffle.

So, here is what I'm going to do....focus on the positive! I will continue to write because I LOVE to, not because I want to become rich and famous (but that would be nice). I have quite a few loyal readers out there.....you know who you are. As long as you guys keep reading them and enjoying them....I will keep writing them for you....I may slow down a bit but I won't quit! So I'm going to follow my own and advice:

"Write with your heart as if no one else will ever read your story. Don't worry about  how many books you will sell or becoming rich overnight. A book that is written from deep within your soul is  more valuable than any bestseller out there"

Okay, I feel better now! Sometimes writing it all out does help! And the fact that in just a few short weeks (maybe sooner) I will be able to share A Cry For Hope with all of you. Are you planning on coming to the release day party? I hope so!! RSVP HERE. Everyone is invited.....there will lots of fun, games and giveaways....BYOB!

Ps. The book that I am working on now is a companion novel to A Cry For Hope. Check it out on Goodreads here and add it to your TBR list: A Will To Change

TGIF....

You know the saying....Thank God it's Friday! Really, Thank God! This feels like it has been the longest week ever! But it's been a pretty good one.....An Unplanned Lesson made it into the top 100 of  New Adult books on Amazon, so I'm really happy about that. More people are getting to know Dailan & Nicole and hopefully falling in love with them.

A Cry For Hope will be releasing in a little over a month. I cannot wait to share this story with all of you. Make sure you join the release party, it will be lots of fun! Games, giveaways and a lot more. Feel free to invite a friend as well:

A Cry For Hope Release Day Party

I've made a lot of progress with my current WIP. I'm actually 3/4 of the way done and loving this story so much! Still trying to figure out the "perfect ending" for these characters and one that will make my readers say, "Aww!"  I normally have my epilogue done before I even start writing the book (I know I'm a little backwards) but that helps to keep me focused in the direction that I want to go with the story. With this one I don't....but I'm sure it will come to me when I least expect it.

And lastly, today is the last day to get An Unplanned Lesson for .99 cents. So, if you haven't read it grab it while you can: 

An Unplanned Lesson

Here's a little Dailan and Nicole to get you through your Friday! Hope you have a good one!

Another good day of writing.....I hope!

Well, it's snowing AGAIN....not that I'm complaining because all of this extra time inside gives me lots of time to do what I enjoy most....WRITE! I just hit the 50k words in my current WIP over the weekend and will be posting the synopsis on Goodreads very soon! It will be a spinoff/companion book to A Cry for Hope but you won't have to read A Cry For Hope (but I hope you still do) first to understand it. Just wanted to make that clear to all of you cliffhanger hater's A Cry for Hope does not end on a cliffhanger.

In other news....

For those of you that haven't met Dailan and Nicole yet, An Unplanned Lesson, the first book in the Unplanned series is on sale for .99 cents. I even extended this sale to itunes as well. Although the price change has not reflected yet.

Also, over the weekend my technically challenged self created a website. It's not much but it's a start:

Well  I'm  going to try and get back to writing as the snow falls down outside my window. Hope everyone is staying warm or maybe you're one of the lucky ones that has warm weather and sunshine today.....wish I was there!!
