I just uploaded the sequel to My Blood Approves - Fate up to Kindle. It takes roughly 48 hours for the title to be approved (and it might be quicker than that). So within the next day or two, you'll be read to the sequel! Yay! To help churn excitement, here's a pic of the cover:  And here is the blurb from the back of the book: "Alice Bonham thinks she's finally found a balance in her life between the supernatural and real life with her brother Milo.  Jack – her sorta vampire boyfriend – keeps her at arm’s length to keep her safe. As for his brother Peter… she’s not sure where he’s at, or what he wants with her. Worse still, she’s not even sure what she wants with Peter. When a tragedy happens, Alice finds herself struggling with a terrible choice. Her decision changes everything, and as it all spirals out of control, she has to wonder, will there ever be a place for her in this life?"   Meanwhile, I'm still working on edits on the third book. I changed the...

The good news is: My Blood Approves is currently available for Kindle on Amazon.com for only $.99! That's right. I'm practically giving it away! The bad news is that I spent so much time promoting it and looking up stuff and trying to network that I didn't get any writing done on anything else. And I'm not sure that I have anything to show for all that hardwork. Self-promotion feels so weird. I feel like such a jackass saying how awesome something I did was. And all these author bios where I have to write about myself in third-person? Ugh.  And I don't know how Kathy Griffen does it. For reals. Because its hard, and it's a fine line between promotion and SPAMing everyone and being obnoxious. But at the same time, if I sit back and do nothing.... well, then nothing happens. Onto more positive things: I promised an exerpt from My Blood Approves last time I blogged, and even though I'm not sure anyone is reading this, I deliver on all my promises, In a move...

Here is what we are going to talk about today: My book is now listed on Amazon.com. The download for Kindle isn't available yet, bu Amazon says it should be in like two days. At this moment, this is the most successful I've ever been as an author. Snap to myself.  Even though the ebook is not yet available (which is where I think I'll see all my sales), it would greatly please me if people who have read My Blood Approves review it.  (Preferably positive, but honest always works for me too).You can create your own review: here . This is a different version than you've read, though, because I edited a lot, to make it cleaner, faster, fancier, and all around better. So when it is available for ebook (for the low, low price of $.99  - that's less than a penny a page!!!), you might want to download it. Or, if you're really zealous, you can buy a paperback copy now. (Note: My book makes a great gift!) I've made changes to Fate (the second book), and that shoul...

Listening to:  "The Barber's Unhappiness" by the Matches This week in my life: I've taken a decided risk to this whole publishing business. I've written a delightful paranormal romance about vampires. Its well received by my peers and has been downloaded almost 500 times for free. However, since it is about vampires, and the market is tremendously saturated at the moment, I doubt I'll find representation for it. It'd have to be the greatest vampire novel of all time to do that, and it does fall just short of that. (Just.) Meanwhile, I've written and crafted a wonderfully original paranormal romance not about vampires, or werewolves, or witches, or ghosts, entitled Switched . I think its set. Ready to go. Publishable. Magical. Since my last major revisions, I haven't sent it out to agents. This is because I've decided to develop a platform.  Basically, my vampire novel will end up being a throwaway novel (despite being very good), with hopes of...
