CHARMING, I'm Sure

Wow. I haven't written a blog for a while.

I'm sorry.

Honestly, I've been writing up a storm, but it's all taken place in the background, and I haven't found much time to break away to chat over here. It's difficult for writers to blog all the time, write books, edit books, market books--whatever. I didn't come here to complain.

What I came here for was to tell you that I JUST FINISHED WRITING ANOTHER BOOK! Woot. It's called CHARMING, if you couldn't tell by the ridiculously, and quickly, made logo at the top of this post. Yes, I made the logo. No, I didn't take much time or put a lot of thought into it. But when I said CHARMING, I didn't want you to think sunshine and roses. I wanted you to think BLOOD.

Because I am crazy!

You all knew that, however.

Now that I've finished this edge-of-your-seat, coming-of-age thriller (yep, THRILLER!), I realize I should probably write a synopsis, maybe a back of the book blurb, possibly even put some information about the book on this website. And I will, eventually. My agent is foaming at the mouth to get CHARMING in her hands, and I promised to email it by the 20th of this month, so I know I need to hurry.

But yet another story is knocking on my brain, begging me to write it. So, I guess I'll have to keep two notebooks handy: one for story-building, and the other for dreaming up the horrid synopsis.

And for those of you keeping tabs, SHATTERED SECRETS has been revamped and given a whole new vibe. I'm hoping to have that one on shelves for you soon!

In the meantime, if you all wouldn't mind throwing out some female and male character names for me, that would be great (this would be for the new story coming to my mind). The female lead is HORRIBLE, probably more like a villain than a good girl, teenager, has no friends, thinks of herself as invisible. There are two guys: one's an all-around good guy, football player, popular; the other guy is a football player but not popular and a lot darker in terms of his attitude, but he is a good guy.

So . . . names! Toss 'em at me!

The Rule of Seven

Hey, guys,

So, the lovely and amazing Jessa Russo tagged me on Facebook with this little game. So, you can all thank her for this teaser from SHATTERED SECRETS.

~ There are more psychos? Fantastic.

Boredas offered me his hand again. I took it, not because I wanted to touch him, but because I had to get out of the trunk, survey my surroundings, look for an escape. He pulled me from the car, and I landed on the crunchy gravel then glanced around. Black Dodge Charger, field of harvested corn in front of a dense forest across the street, rows and rows of scrappy pine trees to my left and right, and a shack of an A-frame house behind me.

I swallowed hard.~

So, here are the rules: Go to either page 7 or 77 of your manuscript. Count down 7 lines, then copy the next 7 lines to your status. After that, name 7 more authors to come out and play.

My seven authors:

Dawna Raver
Julia Hughes
Deborah Krager
Raine Thomas
Ayden Morgen
Jamie Ayres
Wendy Russo

And You Are . . . ? Blog Hop

While I'm trying to figure out the winner of my Wildest Moments Blogfest and while I'm waiting for GoDaddy to officially move my domain name to this blogger site, I thought I'd play a little game.

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once eggnog hit the shelves, Mrs. Claus thought it’d be funny to “juice up” Santa’s drink. Now the jolly elf is passed-out after one cup, and Mrs. Claus can’t keep up with the pre-Christmas demands.

So, to find those most deserving of Santa’s toys, Mrs. Clause asked Emily and Tammy for help. And so was born the “And You Are . . .?” Blog Hop!

My interview:

1. How many speeding tickets have you gotten?

One. I was 16 and on my way to my brother's house in Mansfield, Texas. I was wearing a Santa hat, and pretty packages were stacked precariously in the passenger seat. I sang at the top of my lungs--something I still do--and had a huge smile on my face . . . until the lights behind me started blinking. I thought for sure the cop was going to pull the guy over who'd just blown by me like I was sitting still, but no. He pulled ME over. I cried. Like a baby. I was driving 77 in a 70, and it was Christmas Eve, and the guy knew half my friends and family--and I still got a ticket. Jerk.

2. Can you pitch a tent?

Of course. This is how it goes: "TJ, honey, can you put up this tent? Use Kid #1 if you have to. I'll be reading a book. Thanks. I love you."

3. What was your worst vacation ever?

I hear Jeopardy music . . . I can't seem to think of the worst vacation. In fact, I have pretty awesome vacations. Not sure I have anything for this. :-)

4. What was the last thing you bought over $100?

Thing? Like one singular item? Cause I spent over $100 on groceries yesterday. Hmm. I'm going to have to say a pair of Keen boots. They are freaking amazing, and they were really expensive, and I will wear them forever.

5. We’re handing you the keys to what?

1972 Super Beetle, fully restored, dark blue or deep purple. I can never decide.

6. What was the last meal you cooked that made even you sick?

Funny enough, it wasn't something that I'd cooked but that I'd reheated from my brother cooking the night before. It was tacos or something, back in 2001. I wound up in the hospital.

7. Fill in the blank: Oh my gosh! Becky, look at her butt! It is so big. She looks like  ____?

This is kind of out of my league. I don't think I talk about people this way. (Insert Halo)

8. What was your first car?

Well, the first car I drove regularly was a 1982 Audi 5000 Turbo-Diesel. My dad bought it off a man who'd let the car sit in a field for 10 years. The floor was rusted out. The leather seats were split, but dammit, it had a sun roof!

9. Your best friend falls and gets hurt. Do you ask if he/she’s okay or laugh first?

Laugh while helping the idiot up. :-)

10. What’s the worst song ever?

I can't think of any songs I loathe . . . though I'm sure they exist.

Opinions are like A--

I didn't need to finish that thought, did I?

Today I've done something a little different with my blog. I always think of these things I want to say or post, things I just want to get off my chest, but then once I get to a computer, I never have the time to say or post them.

So, I recorded my voice. I know, I know, it's screechy and awful. Just have a listen to my little Public Service Announcement and then move on with your day. :-)

Oh and unrelated to my post but trying to kill two birds with one stone, if you're Courtney Worth Young--or anyone who has trouble pronouncing Draíochtan--stick around through the whole recording. I'm finally giving you the information you asked for. I'm a slacker. I know. You'll forgive me, right?

Help My Brain!

I need a new tv show to watch. True Blood is over until next June. Once Upon A Time doesn't start until the end of this month.

I'm without something to anticipate. Eep!

My brain craves something action-packed, full of fantasy, paranormal, or sci-fi, including a hint of romance and maybe some young adult type problems.

My brain doesn't want for much, does it?

The problem is: I don't channel surf, so I have no idea what cool shows are out there.

Please, tell me what to watch (nothing disgusting!) in the comments below!

Epic Stank

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and temperatures were somewhere around the mid-eighties. I pulled up to the Mine Road sign at the Pentagon and abruptly ended my phone conversation with my best friend and critique partner Dawna.

Two gentlemen opened my car doors and climbed into the passenger seats, immediately bringing with them a smell like no other . . .

Mothballs!

I'm sure the little orbs of smelly repellent went out of style in the 80's, right?

RIGHT?

If they were ever popular to begin with.

But one of these guys sported the scent as though he wore the most expensive cologne known to man—or something.

I gagged. How the hell will I survive the fifty-mile drive to Stafford while holding my breath?

* Gasp * I couldn't.

Slug #2 popped a piece of gum in his mouth, so I knew the smell wasn't his breath. Neither of them wore suits appearing as if they belonged on a corpse. The origination would remain a mystery.

Turning up the radio, I tried focusing on anything other than the air quality inside my Jetta, or how I would get that stank out of the leather.

This is what I get for detailing my baby over the weekend!

Every time one of the guys shifted in their seat, sighed, moved an arm, a leg, or played with their cell phone, I swear they created rippling currents of mothball.

Why me?

To make matters worse, neither of them spoke to me . . . and we hit bad traffic. Cars crawled along the interstate, the drivers inching forward without any hint of the trauma I experienced.

Lucky jerks.

When I saw the sign for our exit, I drove faster, zipping in and out of lanes like a NASCAR racer.

I managed to drop the guys off without telling them they smelled like sh*t, but I was once again reminded that I will never stop being surprised by people I meet in the slug lines.

Why can't I work from home again?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many of you know I pick up "slugs" so I can use the HOV lanes along I-95 in Virginia.  Many of you probably also know that an occasional slug does something so outrageous I feel compelled to write about him/her (see "Letter to My Slug" or "Snoring").

Alone Time #wildesmeadow #sixsunday

Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've participated in Six Sunday. Life has been hectic, and I didn't think it was fair for you to comment on my blog when I'm not even around.

So, today I bring you an early scene from Wilde's Meadow, the third and final installment in my Darkness Falls trilogy set to release November 5, 2012.

Flanna is making armor for Kate, but Flanna is no Dresser. Kate's bleeding . . . everywhere!

Enjoy!

~"She's trying to kill me." [Kate says]

"There," Flanna trills. "Promise me you will wear this?"

Arland crosses the room in three easy strides, takes the needle from Flanna, then places it on the table next to the excess sewing materials. "I appreciate your concern for Kate, Flanna, but we leave tomorrow, and I would like to spend some time alone with her."

She winks.~

Hmm . . . about to go to war and looking for alone time, eh?!

Thanks for visiting, commenting, and just generally being awesome! To read other Six Sunday greatness, visit the official site! *DISCLAIMER: Not all sites are appropriate for children under 18!*

Segregated Clothing

I rummaged through my closet, looking for something—anything—to wear to work. Meetings filled my morning schedule, and I wanted to look nice but couldn't find a dress or slacks or capris or anything.

Until . . .

I skipped to that section. The section of my closet reserved for skinny or fat days. You know, the-clothes-that-used-to-fit-but-for-whatever-reason-don't-right-now section.

Sigh.

My husband laughed at me, made some comment about how if I'd just put away laundry as soon as I wash it, I wouldn't have this problem.

Men!

I wash laundry, dry it, fold it. Can't someone else put away the shirts and underwear and socks and pants and—we have three kids, do you realize how much laundry that is?

Sorry. I'll get back on topic here. So, I donned some loose-fitting capris—like really loose fitting, like I had to poke a new hole in my loose-fitting belt just to get the damned things to stay on my waist.

Many of you are probably pissed that some of my clothes are too big, but hey, I used to fit into these things. So can it!

Once I arrived at work, I felt like a fool. My pants swallowed me whole, hid all my good qualities, probably made me appear a bit frumpy.

Maybe I should put away all my clean clothes.

Does anyone else have a section of those-days clothes kept separate from all the others? I can't be the only person who segregates! I hope I'm not the only person who hates putting away laundry, either!

Where Have I Been?

Many of you are probably wondering where the heck I went. Where are my blogs? Where are my Six Sundays? Where am I?!

Hiking Rainbow Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains!

Well, I've been really busy doing things like this ====>

That's right. My family and I hiked all over the Great Smoky Mountains. If you've never done it, I highly suggest you visit Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sieverville, Tennessee! Not only are there are a ton of tourist traps, but some of the most peaceful, gorgeous hiking trails exist there!

We made it a requirement to hike a new trail every morning. As some of you know, the United States has been gripped by a heat wave, which makes hiking a nice way to spend the day.

I hear you scratching your head and saying what! But you heard me right. The temperatures are cooler up there in those mountains--sorry; I channeled a bit of a southern twang.

One morning we had to wear sweaters! * GASP *


I really wanted my son's sweatshirt!

Once we made our way back down the mountain, those extra layers wound up in a pile on the floor of our truck. Too hot. Way too hot!

Don't worry. We took our kids to air-conditioned places like Wonderworks, Ripley's Aquarium, Blacklight Golf, Dixie Stampede, Lumberjack Feud, etc.

Whew!

I was a bit relieved when we were on our way home, until I remembered we were going to Virginia Beach for the 4th of July.

I didn't snap many pictures there. Who wants to ruin their phone with sand?

But those aren't the only reasons I've been away. When we returned from our long, and much needed, vacation, we unfortunately had to say goodbye to a dear friend. Our dog Zoe. She'd battled with many diseases for a long time, and it was time to let her go. No words can describe how much we miss her.



Arizona enjoying his favorite weather.

 And unfortunately, that's not where the sadness ends. Our dog Arizona was diagnosed with cancer. He's currently undergoing surgery to remove his tumor, and we're hoping that will be the extent of this illness, but we're just not sure.

To say it's been a hard month would be an understatement.

But we have faith. And sometimes that's all you've got--and all that matters.

Don't let my blog get you down. There are definitely plenty of things to smile about. My family is happy, healthy, and we love each other deeply!

Things in the publishing world are going great! I had the pleasure of editing Ayden Morgen's upcoming novel, Fade. I also edited Ever by Jessa Russo, someone who is quickly becoming a very close friend. Both of these novels will release soon, so be on the lookout for them!

OH! And if the release of Wilde's Army wasn't enough to make you smile, I finished Wilde's Meadow this month! YAY.

Cover Art - Coming Soon!

I have to run, but I promise to get back on track with you guys once my dog recovers and I'm not spending my evenings playing veterinary technician.

I'm Speechless!

So, this morning as I rode the elevator to my office at work, I checked my Amazon statistics--like I do every morning--and I discovered this:

For those of you who aren't authors and don't check Amazon like you're waiting for a text from your crack dealer, this is a ranking page.

Wilde's Fire's current sales rank is in the 11000 range, which is pretty darn awesome, but I'm #81 in a category sales rank, which is drop-dead AMAZINGLY AWESOME!

My ride up the elevator had me grinning like a fool and tearing up at the same time, ready to burst with a scream of WAHOOO!

And then I checked the stats for Wilde's Army! I was in the 11000 range there, too (11,324, to be exact). Sometime overnight, lots of people bought my books. Thank you!!

THANK YOU!

I'm so surprised and happy and grateful and . . . maybe the title of this post is wrong. I'm not speechless!

Anyway, to spread the joy, I've attached a Rafflecopter contest to this post. Share the news about Wilde's Fire and Army, and you just may win an autographed copy of both books!

One Ghost Per Serving

Nervous about Friday the 13th? Want to make sure your luck stays good? I have a solution. Enter the One Ghost Per Serving Good Luck Giveaway. The more entries you have, the more good luck you are guaranteed. The luckiest THIRTEEN entrants will win a free digital copy of One Ghost Per Serving by Nina Post.

Possessed by Rex, a mischievous spirit, Eric Snackerge’s life has careened out of control. Losing his scholarship and getting blacklisted from the legal profession are just the start – now his best-friend-turned-enemy is in danger of stealing away his family, too.

An unusual contest may be his last chance to make his daughter’s dreams come true. But he’ll have to overcome his own self-doubt — not to mention the seemingly impossible odds — in order to achieve that goal.

As Eric and his ghostly companion soon learn, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill sweepstakes. When the sponsors begin dispatching spy cameras, attack helicopters, and the kitchen sink – all to make sure that Eric doesn’t get any further – it becomes clear that the contest is only the first phase of a much larger, sinister plan to spread a supernatural pathogen throughout the food supply.

Do Eric and Rex have what it takes to foil the villains’ plan and protect the Snackerge family from becoming the next victims?

Flattery and All That Stuff

My sister-in-law called me Sunday evening to wish me a happy birthday. She was out of town on Saturday, so we didn't get to talk then. When I answered the phone, she was giggling, and I knew this wasn't your average phone call.

Apparently she went camping over the weekend, and Saturday night she was walking in the forest, without a flashlight, and thought she saw one of these:

Now, seeing one of these would freak out even the bravest of men and women, but most people understand these things don't exist. That is, unless, you're my amazing SIL who's recently read Wilde's Fire and Wilde's Army.

Her fear is flattering!

The picture above, my friends, is of a daemon. He's mean, heartless, a cold killer with no moral conscience to stop him from slaughtering innocent men, women, and children in a quest for something he probably doesn't have the brain capacity to understand. The creature above is a prominent threat to Kate, the main character in my books, and her friends.

So, what did my SIL do when she thought she saw one of these mangled creatures running around the woods in Arkansas?

She ran back to get a flashlight, of course!

I love you, Allison! Thank you for being such a great fan.

That's My Sister #wildesarmy #sixsunday

Now we're down to three days from the release of Wilde's Army. I'm going to be a multi-published author!!! I could cry. Actually, I think I am crying. Be right back . . . .

Okay, I've regained my composure. I love all of you who visit regularly and comment on my blogs. Without you, my success wouldn't feel nearly as great!

Now onto the six. I left you last week with a mean-ole-daemon showing off his blood to Kate's sister. But Kate's emotions spiralled a tad bit out of control, and she lost her connection to Brit.

Enjoy!

~I'm screaming. I have no control. Opening my eyes, I jump to my feet. Flames erupt from my chest and spread to my arms and legs like fire on dry straw. I run to the winding path leading down to the horses, without sparing a second to tell Perth what's going on.

He calls to me.~

Yes, she's furious!

Why Does Charlaine Harris Hate Me?

Why Does Charlaine Harris Hate Me?

Since Krystal deigned take a well deserved vacation (Hmph!), I've decide to borrow her blog for a day and rant about something that's been eating me lately: Why does Charlaine Harris hate me?

For those of you who faithfully have followed the Sookie Stackhouse novels, as Krystal and I have, you'll know why the end of Deadlocked has many of us scratching our heads. Charlaine—yes, after twelve books we're on a first name basis—seems to be taking the series in a disappointing direction. With only one book remaining in the series, many of us fear Sookie may well end up with someone other than Eric. Readers are pissed, and her ratings reflect their ire. 65% of her reviews on Amazon for Deadlocked were 3 stars or less, with 51% on Goodreads. While this may not seem significant, her past books have enjoyed 4 and 5 star reviews. Let's face it, we feel as if she's pulled the rug out from under us. We've suffered through Sookie and Eric's trials and tribulations, believing—based on clues from Charlaine herself—they'd end up together. If she chooses not to give us an HEA for them, I swear I will never read another novel by her again.

All of this leads me to another question. Does an author owe it to their readers to give them what they want after they've faithfully devoted themselves to a series? Or should the author always stay true to their story regardless of the fallout?

I personally struggled with this exact question when I wrote the last chapter of my first book, Colour Wielders. I ended the book on a big cliffhanger, one I felt rather proud of. However, after receiving a rather angry text from Krystal, who's my critique partner, I began rethinking my strategy. Why? Because I was worried I'd piss off readers I don't even have yet. In the end, I caved, deciding it was best to not anger my future readers. So, I wrote an epilogue. Krystal was happy, I was happy, and hopefully the book will do well.

Did I do the right thing? I don't know. Will Charlaine Harris do right by her readers and give us what we want? Don't know the answer to that either. As with life, a happy ever after is never guaranteed. What I do know is as authors, we ask our readers to take an emotional journey with us. When they do, it's crucial for authors to value that and not screw us over because they can. So, I really hope that Charlaine Harris doesn't hate me!

Sookie and Eric forever! (Yes, I'm 15!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dawna Raver is the author of Colour Wielders, and one of my closest, dearest friends. You'll find her work on a shelf soon, if I have anything to say about it! You can follow Dawna on Facebook, Twitter, or . . . umm, that's it because I haven't quite convinced her to start her blog. Sigh. A girl can try!

Deathly Daemons #wildesarmy #sixsunday

Ten days until the release of Wilde's Army! I can't believe it! *Pinches Arm* Yep, I'm awake!

So, last week we left off with Brit showing Kate some painful images. But, shortly after, daemons came back into the disgusting cave and decided it was killing time. To make this more painful for Kate, they decide to take her sister first!
Enjoy! (That seems so wrong, doesn't it?)

~ The vile creature walks up to my sister, licking his blackened lips. "I am going to enjoy this."

He rips open the front of her shirt.

Trembling, she screams through her gag. Her heart races and sends so much blood to her head, it resonates as it throbs through her temples.

The daemon draws a knife from a pouch on his back then cuts a small hole into his hand.~

How to Make a Customer Angry!

So, I'm on vacation. Yep. The girl who never stops working decided to stop writing, stop editing, stop going to the day job, stop worrying about every little thing for TWO WEEKS.

I've been sitting out on my front porch, listening to the birds sing, watching lightning bugs blink all around the yard, enjoying the soft glow from the crescent moon, and sipping on my drink of choice: margarita.

It's a beautiful evening here in Virginia. I couldn't ask for anything better, right?

Well, I decided to crack open Divergent. I've heard so many good things about this book; I figured it was time to give it a chance. The first chapter was . . . okay. The second chapter was somewhat interesting, and just as I thought, "Oh, well maybe I'll keep reading this book" I turned the page and found THIS:

To say I'm furious would be a huge understatement. I mean, I paid money for this book. I have been looking forward to reading this book for a few weeks now.

What the hell?

Who do I call to say, "Give me page 25, please?!"

I want my money back. No, better yet, I want a new copy with an actual page 25!

I'm not outside anymore. I'm not relaxed anymore. Now I'm just mad. Annoyed. Wondering what the heck I'm supposed to read now. I refuse to write at the moment. I'M ON VACATION! I'm even violating my no computer while on vacation rule just to write this post. Argh.

I'm going to watch a movie.
