Bookstore

For anyone who has not visited my website in the last 24 hours, I now have a bookstore! It is currently in the testing phase, so there may be kinks that need working out, but it is running! If you don't have the link, click here and you'll be taken to my website. 

Tonight, I am finishing up some non-LoS related work before I jump back into working on Fiery Secrets. I've promised some impatient friends that I would do my best to finish it before the end of the month and I am going to do my best to keep that promise. It has dragged on for much too long and, despite my doubts, I'm going to write this story as if it were my last. Next after Fiery Secrets will be a novella about another secondary character before I embark on the last book of the series. 

In between, however, I will be releasing snippets of other works on Wattpad & Bookrix, so be sure to keep up with those. I am going to do my best to blog better. I have no earthly idea who reads my blog or what they even want to read, by dammit I'm gonna try! 

Gotta go write some stuff now. See you folks on the flip side! (Yeah, I'm a 90's kid. So what, wanna fight about it? [Family Guy reference]) :p

One year later...

So I talk a lot about what I'm doing in the writing area and some little things, here or there, about myself and the family, but I never really discuss where I am now compared to a year ago when I started this blog. The day to day doesn't seem to change, but looking back it seems like a completely different time and place. 

Where am I now?

Whew...what a day!

I can hardly contain my excitement! Recently, I've become a member of Angie's Diary, an online writing magazine, and some of my work has been featured here. I've been working closely with Indie Author Network, IAN, and we're going to be rolling out some great features shortly. Yay! It's incredibly awesome to be moving forward on more avenues!

Also, I've been in contact with a local bookseller and they're considering carrying my novel! On top of that, they are very interested in holding book signings and other events since I'm a local author. Cool, right?! It figures that instead of taking time off I'd be working in a different fashion. My boyfriend probably hates me for it -.-.

I'm also a part of a wonderful group on the site BookRix. It's called Reviews & Critiques and our aim is to offer those who normally don't get an opportunity for their books to be read a chance to get much needed feedback. We'll review short stories, poems, novels and just about anything else you can think of across all genres. Your reviews will be posted wherever you ask both on and off site. It is a small group, as we are new, but we're more than willing to read your stories! BookRix is a free site, so if you don't mind sharing works with the community, we're here for you! Simply click the link below and you will be directed to our wonderful little spot!

Look forward to seeing you there!!!

Through the rabbit hole...

It's been about a week or so since I've last written to you all, my apologies. Between school, work, children and some much needed sleep, it's been difficult to get back into the swing of things. Not to mention the terrible allergies right now; pollen counts are ridiculous!

Anyway, there are several things going on this month that I wanted to make everyone aware of so here we go!

1. Another ebook giveaway 

2. I'll be holding a vote on the cover for Binding Secrets, the sequel to Cursed Secrets

3. New selling feature for my fav books from my website

4. Official Binding Secrets blurb to be posted on my website

5. Q&A with some of your favorite characters from the Legacy of Secrets! (new series title) :)

So far, these are the main points on my agenda. To submit a question for the Character Q&A you can click here! Any and all information regarding me and my books can be found at my website. Of course, none of this would be possible if it wasn't for my friends at BookRix who helped make my book a bestseller! Love you guys!

It's been great chatting with you all...xoxoxo!

What dreams feel like...(with special preview)

With one book giveaway down, one ongoing and a few more to come, I'm honestly feeling good about this new career thus far. I've had the pleasure of working with the wonderful people at BookRix and they've been incredibly kind in helping to promote Cursed Secrets. Whatever events occurred that ended up bringing me down this path, I am truly thankful.

I've been steadily watching my Amazon stats rise, gaining a better following on Twitter & Facebook and connecting with so many readers on Goodreads. I am humbled by the kind words and excited that I'm sharing something I love with the world. Each day, I delve further and further into my dream.

It's definitely surreal to start from nothing and end up being a bestseller, no matter which platform it may be on. I wouldn't have thought in a million years that things would have happened this fast. I can't say I'm complaining, though!

As a means of saying thank you, I'm going to include a small excerpt from Binding Secrets, the sequel to Cursed Secrets that will be out later this year. The book cover is currently in development and will be released this summer for all of you to see and comment on :). 

Cloud 9...and a half!

Some amazing things have happened this week! I was given a pretty awesome review by my friends over at BookRix, my book sales have been almost doubling each day, and I've gotten many kind words from those who've read it. 

It's truly indescribable how all of this feels, but I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who's taken the time to read and comment on Cursed Secrets. During this whole process, I've been rather hesitant...okay, I won't lie, I've been totally freaked by the entire thing! 

Years of writing poems on any scrap of paper I could find and stashing them in notebooks definitely didn't prepare me for this! I'm incredibly humbled by the kindness and excitement my readers have conveyed in just a few short weeks. I'm more motivated than ever to finish up book two for everyone to continue the journey!

Please keep up with my website, Facebook, and Twitter for updates. All of these profiles are linked from my blog as well as just about everywhere else :). If you have comments you'd like to post about my books, please feel free to do so. I value everyone's opinion (yes, even if it's bad!). 

Again, thank you all and have a great weekend! :)
