Guardian of the Realm : A Faerie Tale

Thanks in large part to a picture I saw from Regina Rasmussen Wamba, I have begun work on a book about a new dark and dangerous magical world of The Realm. I am really excited about this one and hope that you all will be too.


Also check out spencerbrokow.wordpress.com to read an interview I recently completed for him. This young author is amazing and I can't wait to see what happens as his career progresses!

I'd also like to give a shout out to Eric Wallerstedt for giving me the inspiration for two of the characters in my new book...

Random Thoughts...

So much has happened to me in the past few months that I almost feel as if I am a completely different person. I have given up on a dream that I chased for over five years... I have been hurt by a friend that I thought would end up being something so much more... I have managed to meet and hold on to a new bestie that I know will be in my life forever... And now... Well now, I am ready to put myself back out there. Ready to put my heart on the line for something that could potentially be an amazing choice. Now, some people may wonder why I am writing about this at all, but for those of you who are authors, you know that anything and everything in life can inpsire you and encourage you and since all of these emotions are prevelant for me right now, they are coming through into my writing. The question is... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? The jury is still out on that! I can say that for the first time in so many years, I feel hopeful, I feel inspired, I feel alive in a way that I haven't in such a long time. Is it too soon? Is it too fast? Is it too much? For now, it's totally awesome and in a way, one of the best things that could have ever happened to me.

The next book that will be released is something different. Something raw and emotional for me. Something that isn't paranormal, but just extraordinarily real and deep and... perfect. Perfect because it's not sugar coated, it's not magical in the sense that my other books are, it's not happily ever after for every character. It's real. It's dirty and it's messy and it's full of hope and faith... two things that I am holding on to right now with my eyes wide open and my heart on my sleeve. It's life. And if it does one thing for any person who reads it... my hope is that it inspires you to let go and live life each day without regret and without fear. Grab hold of anything and anyone that makes you happy, that brings a smile to your face or a tingle into your heart, take risks and know that everything that comes along with it is part of the ride... If I can bring that feeling into even just one person's world... well then, it's all been worth it.

MIA

Well for those of you who have noticed, I have sort of been ghost like in the past few weeks... I have been going through a big change in my personal life and have been preoccupied with that. However, I am finally settling in and ready to get back to work...

A couple of announcements... I am currently working on two books - Emotionless and The Relic, and hope to have something new out within the next few months... The next book in the Enchanted Island Series is going to be titled The Goblin's Daughter and will continue the story with Gianna as our new narrator. That book will be out sometime this fall...

I hope that everything is well with everyone and that I will hear from you all soon!

The Relic

Tomorrow I plan to start work on The Relic.  I have the whole day off and plan on dedicating most of it to writing.  Fingers crossed that it goes well and I can get the first few chapters off for editing.  It's not that I haven't started it, because I have, I just haven't gotten as far as I would have like to have gotten at this point!  I am really excited to introduce you to a new series of characters and hope that someone will admit sharing a fear of Orca's with me when I am done!  Come on people, they don't call them Killer Whales for nothing :)  Not that I don't like them, it's more that I am terrified of them.  Anyways...  Be on the lookout for a guest blog I am participating in, along with a giveaway, I'll post details when it happens.  Also, The Enchanted Island Series is going to be featured on a blog tomorrow promoting series of books so I'll post the link so you all can check it out.

Thank you again for all of my ongoing support and know that I appreciate all of you!
