Divisa series gets a Makeover...


That's right, the Divisa series is getting a makeover. What does that mean? Between now and the end of the year (just a guess) there will be new awesome covers - heck yes! They will also be going through a new revision process as well. The goal is a whole new look ;)

I am very excited@_@


I am finishing the last edits on Breaking Emma which is set to release on Oct. 18th, but I might move it up a week depending on how fast the edits go. The last few weeks have been crazy-crazy. I spent yesterday shopping with my parents in Lake Geneva, WI and ate at my favorite restaurant. So nice to enjoy such a beautiful day, not it is back to the grind.

Hope you guys have a great week!!!

BREAKING EMMA - release date 10/18/13

I am so excited to announce that BREAKING EMMA will be available on Amazon 10/18/13.

This novella is told from Emma's POV and picks up after LOSING EMMA and goes through HUNTING ANGEL. This book wasn't in my original plan, but I am finding out that as this series unfolds, I am compelled to write more. I felt the need to touch upon Emma's transformation from dancer to hunter.



Description:

Emma Deen’s first love had been dancing. Then she met her second love…Travis Winters. He had rocked her world in more than one way. Finding out that your boyfriend was half-demon was a shock of the decade. Finding out that your family had a deep dark secret….well that changed everything. What she knew, she learned at the hands of her father.

Dancing was no longer the sole purpose of her life. It was no longer her future. And Travis was no longer the love of her life…He was the enemy.

Emma was many things. A skilled bowman. Trained in martial arts. A hunter.

It had been a year since she had stepped foot in Spring Valley, Illinois and Emma was an entirely different person. Now that she was back, things were about to get messy and people were going to get hurt.

But could she live with their blood on her hands? Travis’s blood on her hands?

Sips and Sjin...the real deal (from Hunting Angel)


In the opening of Hunting Angel - book 2, Angel is watching a YouTube channel, Sips and Sjin.

I am going to give them a shameless plug today, well because I freaking adore them.

They are part of the Yogscast, which is a team of gamers mostly from the UK who do play through of video games, in case you've never heard of them. I live in a house in which video games are being played on at least one of our TVs or computers at all times. I grew up playing them and really haven't stopped.

It is one the things I love about Angel, that she is a gamergirl. I think it makes her badass in her own way, dominating in what can be a boys world. Like in Call of Duty. I love those games and am totally itching to get my hands on Ghost, but if you've ever played, then you know that their aren't a whole ton of chicks in the matches. (I am not ashamed to admit that I am a camper, and I have been known to rage quit on multiple occasions)

What episode is Angel watching when the notorious Chase Winters strolls in like he owns the world?

Sooooo many to choose from, but when I wrote the scene I had one in mind. It happens to be I think one of my favorite episodes.

Here it is...


It makes me giggle everything time I hear how excited Sjin gets during this PVP (Player versus Player). I love gamer lingo btw.

How did I stumble upon these two jokers?

I can't not even tell you how many hours I have spent watching these guys and the other members of the Yogscast. It has become a family event in my house. I pretty much blame them for every missed deadline, they distract me from writing.

My kids stumbled onto a game called Minecraft a few years ago, which now has blown up. Whenever they can't figure out something in a game they will YouTube how to do it, because lets face it, there is nothing you can't find on YouTube nowadays. Its cray cray.

It was through his search that he came across the Yogscast and the rest is history. Bam! My love affair with Sips and Sjin began.

XOXO

PS On a side note, Breaking Emma is almost ready to go to the editors @_@, which means I can start Chasing Angel!!!
