Hello Everyone and Bright Blessings! I came in to finally update y'all about the latest news... "Hearts On Fire" is finished and is in the editing process, and will be published by this weekend, if not sooner! I am working on editing the paragraphs so that they look accurate on Amazon's KDP  Previewer. I originally uploaded the files and then went to preview the manuscript, and found gaps, spaces, and cut off sentences all over the place which really got on my nerves, so the whole file got transferred to my old Windows program, which has always worked fine in the past. I do not like the Word Online program, it does not give me the right size of page layouts and it is a pain to work with. So get ready to see the inferno start in the Romance and Fantasy department of Amazon, when Hearts On Fire makes it debut, as it is my intention to set the world on fire with my new book! This is a short post, meant to just be an update. I have my final college exams to do this week,...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, I have fantastic news to report. The first installment of "Hearts On Fire" is "this close" to being finished! Last night I made it to page 196, with a robust 64,697 words written so far. I will not go into details per se, but let us say the merging between Tristan and Lucan was a rather brutal scene, it was actually hard to write and I even got a bit emotional while typing out the particulars, as that sort of thing isn't really up my alley of things to write about. However, the resulting scene that came afterwards was really uplifting, and Serena Drake has just gotten herself a jaw dropping eyeful of one drop dead sexy, newly merged Dragon God, but she is not too sure she likes the new and improved Tristan all that well just yet. How I wish I could somehow procure a picture of what that might look like, but when you all read the slick details you will get the idea. Oh, and the previous plans of Lucan and the High Elder have b...

Hello Everyone and Bright Blessings! I said I would return soon with a more fleshed out update. Well as of yesterday, "Hearts On Fire" is up to 157 pages and 51,641 words thus far. A new mystery character by name of "Darius", has  recently had his secretive identity revealed. There's a bittersweet story behind who he is, but I am not allowed to tell you that here, you'll have to read the book to find out! Serena has suffered a potentially debilitating setback, and situations at the current moment are rather harrowing for the cast and characters of Hearts On Fire. I have decided to split the story into two books, as there is suddenly so much flaming hot new material to add, that trying to cram it all into one book would mushroom this into a 500 page behemoth, if I were to keep on writing. I am already looking at over 200 pages, and that is really stretching out a romance story into what to some might be considered a rather long read. I got carried away, scen...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. I realize it has been weeks since I was here last, however there have been a plethora of changes for me in the last couple of months that have pretty much kept me hopping and keeping up with blog posting has taken a slight setback. Rest assured the book writing is still in progress, just going a bit slow. As for Lucan, Serena, and the cast of "Hearts on Fire" life is about to take a wild turn into the unknown, as the date for the merging draws near, the tension in the air is so thick you could cut it with one of Lucan's Damascus blades, as if it were a slice of bread. Tristan is still healing in the Healer's Ward, and Lucan and the High Elder have just begun the implementation of a secret plan of their own machination, possibly at the cost of their own souls and place in the Higher Realms, if it means Lucan can be part of Serena's life forever. How far will a dragon truly go, to preserve the love he holds in his heart for his ...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I hope everyone is doing well? I have been quite busy with writing content articles for my Crowd Content writer's account, and making some much needed side money. To date I have written 19 short articles for them, and I have made $63.00. No that does not sound like a lot, however I recently just started accepting work from them. Some articles pay $2.40 per 200 words, and then there are some that pay higher amounts. The last article I wrote was 800 words long and explained the basic structure of a argumentative essay for college students,that paid me  a decent $16.00. Realistically that is more pay than just one Kindle or Paperback book sale pays from Amazon, so in actuality I am making more per "sale" from working for a content writing service. I would have to sell several copies of my books to get to $63.00 on Amazon if you go by their royalty payment scale. I get paid every two weeks from Crowd Content if the payment threshold reache...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! Tonight I began a new venture onto "The Darkened Path" series. This idea for the new book has been "haunting" me for awhile, and I finally was seized with the "spirit" to start writing on this new book. As of this minute, I have 41 pages and 10,126 words added into it and written out. Since "Hearts On Fire" is steadily picking up steam and heading towards completion, I needed to hurry and find something new to write. "The Darkened Path:Shades Of Twilight" has been a two page rough draft on my Word documents for months now, because I wasn't even sure if I really wanted to write this one. There are literally hundreds of books out there on paranormal type subjects, but I felt a strong compulsion to write my own contribution to that area of metaphysical study, and I always follow the muse wherever it decides to lead me. The muse said "Paranormal, Ghosts, Demonic Possession," so into that de...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I haven't been in here much, and haven't been seen or heard from by a lot of people, in real life and on here, life seems to be throwing one thing and another at me lately, and I think if I see or hear or have to deal with anything else, I might just let Lucan the Dragon loose and give him permission to start up the fire pit. Speaking of Lucan, "Hearts On Fire" has gotten a bit of a update,with 10 more pages and 3,667 words added to it last night. Yeah I know that don't appear to be much, but you can pack a lot of scenarios and situations into that 10 pages! To fill y'all in on what's happening in Draconia,and on plain old mundane Earth, well Tristan and Lucan are in the Healer's ward, due to a sparring match that turned extremely heated and went entirely too far. Hell and all of its nine levels don't hold a spark next to a dragon and a warrior that are both bent on having what and whom they consider is theirs....

I'm exhausted but accomplished! I am finally finished with my newest book, "The Darkened Path: Beyond The Veil"!!!! I just now finished the last 25 pages, bringing the total page count to a decent 110 pages. The  entire word count is 30,270. Tonight I edited, revised, and typed in the last 25 pages and typed a eyeball numbing 7,372 words, as I was very determined to have it at least done, if not published by Sunday.  Now I just have to finish "Hearts On Fire" that book is currently hiding somewhere in plot bunny land, and I have to go and find my meandering muse that seems to be playing hide and seek. Perhaps when I open that word document and scan down the pages, then my muse shall return with a roaring, fire breathing vengeance. For now, it is 1:40 am Saturday, and I seriously have to detach myself from this computer chair and go to bed! I will post a link and etc to the new book the second that I have it available Bright Blessings everyone and I shall return ...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, I profusely apologize for not updating in weeks! I have been up to my eyes in Avon sales campaigns, and looking for another FT job. Good news came last week, as I was interviewed for a new job, I will get a call from the staffing place when they finish my profile processing and find out when I am supposed to come in for my first day. It's a manufacturing position at one of the nearby industrial parks. Recently I finished 20 pages and wrote 5,862 words into "The Darkened Path: Beyond The Veil" and I have one more chapter to add in and that book is finished! "Hearts On Fire" will be updated as soon as I get the plot bunny hopping again. This new job is going to put a bit of a dent in my writing however I need that 40 hr paycheck every week, so a chunk of time removed from what would be my writing schedule is just going to have to be a small sacrifice. We writers cannot survive on air and a few meager crumbs until that big break...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I hope everyone's week is getting off to a decent start? I started mine with finally getting past my writer's block on "Hearts On Fire" and now I am up to page 126, and I got in 7,362 words in the last couple of days. The total word count thus far is 41,888. Tristan and Lucan's training just got very brutal, Serena's son Adrian recently was inducted for training in the Higher Council's training temples, after he kinda made a scene at his grandmother's house with his new found ability, and what exactly has Serena been keeping to herself about her and Lucan's living arrangements? Will a guilty secret tear them all apart, or will the bond of love and loyalty only grow stronger?  We haven't seen or heard from the disgraced Anna the servant for a few days, but be assured she is lurking about. stay tuned for more updates, as now I will be firing up the Word document and Hearts On fire will be blazing along towar...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, thought I'd pop in for a quickie update. I have been writing some on "The Darkened Path: Beyond The veil" and thus far I am on page 64, Chapter 4, and yesterday I finished another 4017 words into it. "Hearts On Fire" is on a temporary hiatus until I can overcome my writer's block about how best to go forward with it. I have plenty of ideas floating in my head, however getting them typed into the Word document is the issue. I type it down, read a bit, and think " No that doesn't sound right!" and then I am stuck staring at the screen in frustrated annoyance, trying to formulate the words I want to type. "Beyond The Veil" is coming along much easier, so perhaps that is a sign that that is the book I need to finish and publish for now.      I have also been busy working on and promoting my new side job as a Avon Representative. Anyone that would like to view my website there, and place an order plea...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings, I'm teleporting in for a quick update, as of today, "The Darkened Path: The With Of Lone Oak" was accepted into the Smashwords Premium Catalog. Go  HERE  for your copy and be sure to check out the other two books in the series too! Today I began writing on "The Darkened Path: Beyond The Veil" and so far I'm on page 42 and up to 12,601 words , yeah I have been sitting here all day typing on and off between food and coffee breaks. The snow and cold outside makes it impossible to go out, the parking lots and the roads are packed in a slick powdery mess. I made a short walking trip to the Shell station that is down the street, the blast of fresh cold air felt nice, but by the time I got back my fingers were numb. I suppose I had better dig out those Thinsulate gloves instead of the regular thin acrylic sweater ones!   There's a little backstory about how "Beyond The Veil" came to be. While scrying in my blac...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I just had to come in and share the excitement! "The Darkened Path; The Witch Of Lone Oak" has been published and is live on Amazon KDP right now! I will finish detailing the print version tomorrow,  I need a laptop with a updated Adobe flashplayer on it and this tablet wouldn't let me use cover creator on Createspace. I might see if I can fix the tablet so it works like I need it to, but it was actually kind of cool to use the tablet to get the book published with, this old witch can always learn a few new tricks! I'm fecking excited, it's taken me over a year to get this book finished and I can cross another publishing milestone off my to do list! Here is the link for y'all that want to check out my newest installment of The Darkened Path series!  The Witch Of Lone Oak. Four long and exhausting  years of my life have been carefully pieced together into this work, and I had days where I sat and cried in frustration, gotte...

Hi everyone and Bright Blessings! I'm zooming in to update and then zooming back out because I am swamped in work and writing, and tying up some life issues at the moment. The Darkened Path: The Witch of Lone Oak is nearing completion! The second installment of the life of yours truly centers on a complicated love, loss, and twisting paths of change! I am currently writing the last few pages that end on a bittersweet note. What changes will we see on the Darkened Path? Stay tuned and soon you will see!  Hearts of Fire is also being worked on and I'm aiming for a release of at least one of my projects on the February new moon, which is on the 8th. Trident media responded with a note saying they will contact me again after 30 days, I will see what happens with that by end of this month and if I don't hear anything I will be inquiring about my submission. There will be a third installment of the life of yours truly as I have been compiling months worth of material for that,an...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I am working hard on Hearts On Fire, and as of just now I am on page 103 and today I finished 4600 words. Tristan has begun his training with Lucan and things are getting a bit intense with that! Will Tristan be able to visit in Serena's home for a week, to complete his training, and resist the urge to claim Serena as his before the merging ceremony? Lucan is going to brutally test every cell in Tristan's mind, body, and soul, to make sure he is worthy to call Serena his own! A dragon will not give up his prized treasure without a fight, and if Tristan fails his training with Lucan he might have to kiss Serena goodbye forever! We are getting snowed in by winter storm Jonas this weekend, supposedly we are about to get between 4-7 more inches of snow, school has been out since Wednesday. My son has been glued to his Xbox, and I have been trying to drown out the ungodly sound and sight of constant Minecraft playing, so I can write and concentr...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings! I popped in for an update to tell y'all what's transpiring in my newest storyline! Right at this minute, Hearts On Fire is up to 66 pages and 21,607 words! Last night I wrote in 4,055 more words and finished 12 more pages. Tristan and Lucan are about to hold a meeting with the Elder Council, in the High Council's chambers to deliberate and decide the fate and sentence of the HIgh Goddess, whom has attempted  to hatch a heinous plot and pull off a unforgivable  crime against the Dragon and human races!  Serena has been informed of some very interesting  revelations, and Tristan is having to swallow a few huge horse pills of pride, and abandon some long held human male ideas, in order to make some nessecary adjustments, if he wants to be the man Serena needs and deserves. What will be the High Goddess's fate, and what will be her punishment from the Elders for taking  her mad schemes way out of hand? I have something wick...

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. I am working hard on writing my short story "Hearts On Fire", thus far I have 42 pages and a bit over 14k words done! The holidays set me back a bit, and then right before Yuletide I came down with a ugly chest cold. The worst of it has subsided, I am still coughing like a barking seal, however I have the energy to be up and about. Last night I started writing again, determined to start the New Year by getting some work done! I have borrowed my son's tablet to work with , seeing as I currently have no internet or phone service until the bill is paid. If it's not one thing then it's another! That will not prevent me from getting my work done, I just need to learn to navigate this gadgetry of his a bit. I am not a tech whiz, so me learning to use a tablet with a advanced Android program is going to take a bit of getting used to! I never thought I would end up doing something like sitting here at the table, the only room on the ho...
