Falling Undercover

As I've discussed before, I've been working on a Romantic Suspense novel titled Falling Undercover. It is intended to be a stand-alone novel that I intend on publishing around the new year (hence the title!). Seeing as how this story is unlike any of my other works, it begs the question, what genres should I stick to?

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of fantasy worlds that are outside of ours or just below the surface. The departure from reality keeps me engrossed in the creativity, not to mention the steamy bits! Writing romance novels that exist in the present world don't give me quite as much freedom with the world as it is, but that characters can still be dynamic. It's definitely a challenge. 

That being said, I've decided to post a scene from Falling Undercover since I've not posted about it in a while. If you like what you see, please sign up to beta read for me at the page linked above. I'd love to have you on my beta team!

News Release: Highly anticipated book release coming soon from Lisa Logue

November 14, 2014 – Releasing this winter, Fiery Secrets: Legacy of Secrets #3 brings the Legacy of Secrets series another step closer to completion with this exciting new addition! Fiery Secrets begins with Lia’s struggle as a captive of the vile Trylle prince, Nolyn. Her main goal is to figure out his plan and find a way to save her friends and family, all while enduring terrible tortures and keeping the breadth of her abilities hidden. Nolyn’s true intentions take Lia by surprise and she will stop and nothing to end him and his reign.

Fiery Secrets sets a new tone by using the best elements of Young Adult novels with the fresh and more grown up New Adult genre. Just the right mixture of good versus evil and spicy romance keeps this novel at the forefront of its genre, begging to be read. Rated NC-17 for situations not suitable for children, Fiery Secrets and the preceding books in Legacy of Secrets are nothing short of satisfying for those who find Young Adult novels lacking.

Legacy of Secrets began with Cursed Secrets in 2010. The freshman titled opened the door for Lisa Logue’s paranormal romance series to be downloaded onto the Nooks, Kindles, iPads and Tablets around the world. With original monologues and relatable characters, this series blossoms in a genre made famous by titles such as Vampire Academy and Twilight. Lisa Logue continues this series with a projected eight books including novels and novellas.

So Far

Sadly, this post has nothing to do with Supernatural. That will come later! No, this post is about the progress of book #3. Here's the road so far...

Anew

Hello lovelies!! It has been quite a month for me. I was very sick for two weeks, so sick in fact that I could do nothing but Netflix binge for about ten days. Doesn't seem so bad except it was an impromptu vaca that I definitely would have rather taken on a beach somewhere without the feeling yucky part. I guess it's just that time of year.

So, I've been pretty busy this week. Not only have I started finishing Fiery Secrets, but I've begun story boarding the remainder of the series and putting together my marketing package for the rest of this year. While I've started out slower than intended, I think things are finally picking up! I'll have more updates and information over the next few weeks. I'm expecting (if the planets align just so) to have Fiery Secrets completed before the end of June. I know I've said this like a BILLION times, but the difference this time is that I've changed the plot! I was trying to include too much into the story and it was driving me insane. After the decision to cut some of it out, I have been able to write without the anxiety. Guess I should have done that months ago, huh?

I'll leave you all with a new FS sneak peek. Catch you all soon!

xoxoxo

More nonsensical ramblings

So it's 11pm and I should be in bed, but I've decided to get some last minute work in. Truthfully, I should have done all of this hours ago, but I was watching The Hobbit with the hunny and kids. Who can work while one of the best movies of the last year is playing next to their head? Anyway, I'm kinda excited about the serial project I have been working on. Initially, I was only going to post it in one spot, but I figured it would be better to post in numerous places for the added exposure. I also wish I knew a really good artist who could draw sketches for me, but I'm not so lucky. 

The serial is a mix between Supernatural (the show on CW that I <3 oh so much) and maybe the X-Files. There is A LOT to this story that I don't even know yet, but I'm willing to show you all a little sneak peek. Follow the jump for the opening to Chasers!

Bit & Pieces & A Sample!

So for the billionth time, I'm trying to write this blog post. I have probably erased and rewritten this about five times now, trying to figure out what exactly I want to say. It's so funny how I can write for three or four hours straight without so much as a hiccup, but writing a blog takes days. But I digress.

I've been toying with a few ideas in my head, mostly some dreams that I've realized could make pretty good stories. I think I might start posting some bits and pieces in between major writing on LoS. It seems once I started writing, I haven't been able to stop! Of course, that's not a bad thing. I'd rather have too many ideas than not enough. Also, I'll be debuting the cover for Fiery Secrets and Soul Covenant soon which I'm super excited about.

Speaking of Soul Covenant, I promised a preview like last week and unfortunately I had been too busy to deliver. So, I've decided that now is better than never. This is the first draft, a very rough one, so please be gentle!

Face Palm...

Again, I've been a bum and forgotten to write my blog that I, yet again, promised at a certain time. One of these days I'll learn to schedule things a bit better so they don't overlap. (I'm really bad about that!) 

So, here I am at 1:22 AM trying to find the right scene to include. There have been so many "deleted scenes" it's almost impossible to pick one that is polished enough to post without being embarrassed! Most of my scenes are extremely rough, as I write things down before I forget, and I hate to put unedited work out there. However, sometimes you just gotta do whatchya gotta do!

So here's a deleted scene. I'm not sure which book it was from or what changed to make me exclude it. When the characters talk, I listen...

Guest post by Doug Simpson- MY SOUL AWAKENING

MY SOUL AWAKENING

Interesting title, some of you are probably thinking, but what does he mean? My personal soul awakening provided me with the knowledge and courage to write my first novel, appropriately titled Soul Awakening. Here is my story.

Guest post by Melynda Price- Her Journey!

I’ve been doing several interviews lately, and would like to take the time today to talk a little about my journey from unpublished to published author. Everyone has their own story to tell and I love hearing about other author’s success, but even more, I also want to hear about their failures. No, I’m not sadistic, lol, but I believe there’s a lot to be learned in these failures—my own and others.

Sneak Peek for My Peeps!

So, if you've been keeping up with my Facebook and Twitter, you'd know that I just made TREMENDOUS progress with Binding Secrets! Woohoo! With all of the things going on lately, I'm so happy I've been able to finally get in the groove and bust out some good stuff for this sequel. I'm really excited about where the story is going! I can't say it won't have a cliffhanger ending, but it will definitely have a lot more action (wink, wink)!

Without further ado, here's a sneak peek into the highly anticipated book 2 in Legacy of Secrets, Binding Secrets:

I'm such a tease :p

Hello again! I'm feeling rather productive this evening, as I've just closed one major hurdle of Binding Secrets that I was struggling with for days, or maybe weeks. Hooray! I'm excited that I managed to finally wrap up this part of the story and will be able to move on (yes it was that important!). 

As a means of placating those who are wondering about this book, I'm going to be posting Teaser Quotes on my Facebook Page for everyone to see! They'll also be posted on Twitter, but the running list will be in the Notes. I hope to see you all there!

Excitement runneth over!

 I've got some big news! 

I've decided to release a second edition of Cursed Secrets to include some bonus material and a brand new cover! This has been in the works for a while, but just recently it was decided to go ahead with the project. Part of the reason is that as my first novel, there were obviously mistakes and things I need to fix along with the fact that I hadn't a clue where the story was going when I finished. Now that I know, it hardly seems fair to keep it to myself! :)

I'll be releasing Fire & Ice within the next few weeks on Amazon, then remaining platforms thereafter. There is a new cover and the prologue is available to read here. I've been working hard to bring you all the best possible experience with these characters and I think you'll be pleased :). While Fire & Ice isn't technically part of the series, the characters are the same and follows closely to the storyline. While some have been desperate to know what happens between Christian & Lia, I can't say for sure what you'll find in this installment.

Binding Secrets is still currently set for release in Fall/Winter of this year. This is tentative and may change depending on where the story takes me. You can't rush perfection and I surely don't want to try! I can tell you that there will be some surprises in this installment. Characters you thought were bad may end up good and so on. As it turns out, Lia isn't the only one that has secrets...(wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

So, I shall leave you with a little taste of Binding Secrets to pique your interest. Check my website often for updates on Legacy of Secrets and releases. Also, a great community called Indie Author Network has been kind enough to showcase my work. Feel free to pop over and give them a shout and look around at some cool stuff. There are plenty of authors and books to choose from, not just the Fantasy types!

'Till next time!....

Change isn't always bad, right?

Sorry to have stayed away so long! I've had my fair share of craziness attacking from all fronts lately. Sometimes personal matters get in the way of my writing, and while I hate it, it is necessary. On the upside, I'm about to make some pretty exciting changes in the coming months that will be revealed as they unfold. (Sorry, folks! I can't give away all secrets just yet!)

In case you didn't know, the cover vote for Binding Secrets is currently going on until next week. There are four to choose from and since it's difficult for me to pick, I'm leaving that decision up to you all! The artwork is amazing and I promise you won't be disappointed! 

Fire & Ice: A Legacy of Secrets Novella will be released very, very soon. So soon, in fact, that I'm putting on the finishing touches before it goes to editing and beta readers. I'm extremely excited for this installment as I've been wanting to delve more into this part of the story for a while now. Undoubtedly, there will be more novellas to come as the story unfolds. 

In celebration of the new changes and impending release, I'm throwing in a tasty little morsel from Fire & Ice. If you want to know more, please keep in touch by going to my website. All my social connections and highlights are listed on the main page. If you want to know more, you can always contact me via my website and I'll respond as soon as possible. I love my fans!!!!

Busy, busy bee!

Life is never dull in my corner of the world! School is almost out for the kiddos, so I can only assume it will get busier. Sleeping has become something of an afterthought as my imagination runs wild, but I can't say I'm complaining. Well, aside from the fact that I'm a walking zombie. I enjoy when the juices are flowing. I was worried there for a while because I'd draw a blank every time I sat down to write. I'm happy to say it was a short reprieve (if you could call it that!). 

Writing is now back in full swing, along with current promos and outside projects. I'm currently working with a great group of Indie Authors to get some content to our fans that isn't currently available. Cool, right? It's amazing what you can do with technology nowadays!

One major goal over the next few weeks is to finish Fire & Ice: A Legacy of Secrets Novella. I want to have the release scheduled for the end of June, but as of the moment I'm only about 1/4 of the way finished. But, I'm confident I can get it done. I've been getting some great feedback from some of my friends about the content and I'm excited! 

You know I can't completely leave you guys hanging, so here's a little nugget to sleep on! :)

A breath of fresh air

I've been buried in work lately! From school to writing and my "real" job, it seems I stay glued to the internet. As the days tick on, I still struggle with time management, but I don't think I'm doing too badly as I'm reaching my deadlines pretty steadily. I'm working on the first novella from the LOS series called Fire & Ice with the hope that I can release it by the end of June-ish. I still have a bit to do to polish it up, but I'm hoping it will be a good way to hold all of you over until Binding Secrets comes out. At least that's what my hopes are!

My graphic artist is still working on compiling some great cover samples for you all and as soon as I get them I will post for everyone to vote on their favorite! This is a big step for me as I'm usually super protective over my work, but I know you all will choose the right one ;). 

Follow the jump break to read a sample of Fire & Ice and let me know what you think! Remember, you can find out about all my books and work from my website as well as following me on Facebook and Twitter. See you in a few days!

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 :). 

Just breathe :)

With Cursed Secrets finally being published, I've been taking a bit of a break. I'm trying to concentrate on school and a bit more time with my family, but I can't help when I'm bitten by the writing bug :). Recently, I've had a story churning in my mind. I've written a small part, literally the only piece of this story that is available, and I figured I'd share it with all my people! Follow the break to read!

New website, new possibilities

So my new website has been completed. I've also given the opportunity for other writers to partake in advertising their work and themselves on my site. I know how difficult it is to get the word out as an indie author, so I've decided it's worth my while (and theirs) to help out my people. Publication is so close I can almost taste it, although it is sometimes bitter from the many tribulations my fellow authors have had with gaining a fan-base. Much luck to all of my friends and I hope you'll check out my site!

Sights and Sounds

So over the past few weeks, I've discovered quite a bit about what it means to be an indie author. Not only must you put up with criticism (good and bad) from your peers and readers, but you must also be able to carry a load the size of Texas on your back. Between writing, editing, marketing, blogging, networking, and publishing things get a bit crazy.

But there is a silver lining. Some of it is...dare I say fun? Recently I've been working with my very talented graphic artist on a book trailer. For those of you who don't know, this is like a movie trailer for a book. Author R. Lynn's book trailer for The Descendants is a great example of a good book trailer:

Since R. Lynn was so kind to refer me to my wonderful graphic artist, I can also trust her judgement on what makes a great trailer! So stay tuned folks, the finish product should be out soon. In the mean time, enjoy this book trailer and keep an eye out for R. Lynn. She's taking the place by storm! ;)
