Dear Santa letters from Angel & Chase...Oh boy

Dear Santa,

I am sure this letter will get lost as I live in Hickville and the mailman sucks, but on the off chance that we don't get snowed in...

There is only one thing I want this Christmas, and it's not something that can be bought (well, who knows, maybe there is a price on his head), made, or shipped from eBay.

Chase Winters.

My egotistical, stab-worthy, smexy, heart-stopping neighbor. He drives me utterly insane, but for some ungodly reason I find that hawt. There is no explaining my heart to my head—I stopped trying.

I know that it is probably a bizarre request, but he isn't exactly your average guy. We sort of have this demon-bond, it's complicated, and honestly, inconceivable. But he has got it stuck in his thick head that he has morals.

I am probably the only girl in the world who only wants to lose her V-card for Christmas. That is not too much to ask, is it?

Sarcastically forever yours,

Angel Morgan

Dear Ho, Ho, Ho dude,

So writing letters to chubby fictional guys in red suits—totally not my thing.

My thing just so happens to be a petite, hellcat who has turned my world upside down. I don't know whether I should curse the fates or thank them.

If I could wish for anything this year, it would be that she lives. I don't want what I am and the dangers that follow me, to get in her way of having a normal life (well, as normal as normal can be for her). I don't want her to end up dead. Again. Something tells me that Death won't barter her existence a second time.

Finicky bastard.

Before Angel, I'd never asked anyone for anything. Now, I would beg on both knees for safety, for her happiness, for love. I know that this is an impossible request, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Forever damned,

Chase Winters

PS. If you could sneak some mistletoe over her bed, I would be forever in your debt.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from Chase, Angel, and me!!! We love and adore you guys to the max.

Luminescence news...

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Luminescence Trilogy. The release dates for the books published under Nevermore Press were pushed back a few months.

But the new release dates are just around the corner *Happy dance*

Luminescence: January 10th

Amethyst Tears: February 21st

The books will be keeping the same covers, which I am really excited about. I am pretty partial to them =)

I've been getting a lot of questions about when the release of Moondust will be. Tentatively it is scheduled for the end of April. I am currently finishing up Weaving Magick, and then I plan to start Moondust.

And don't forget that Chasing Angel will be available on Jan. 3rd!!!!

Are you guys as crazy over the new show Reign as I am? I don't know what it is about this show, but I am hook-line-and-sinker obsessed. TeamFrancis!!

Big hugs!!!

Birchbox - December 2013

So I got my December Birchbox, and I thought it would be fun to share with you guys. If you haven't heard of it, check them out here.

Each month for $10 they send a box of beauty samples (sometimes full size) that you can purchase at their shop (you accumulate points too that you can use to buy stuff). It's fun, and I love getting the box each month =)

This is what came in my December box. And I have already used almost all of the products.

Each box comes with a card listing product details.

1. Hello perfume by Harvey Prince. It has a nice, light, floral scent. I am super picky about my perfume, but I really liked this.

2. Glittery hair tie and Manna glo shimmer lotion. I used the shimmer lotion with my foundation. Loved it, but not something I would use everyday.

3. 25-hour Miracle cream - This is a moisturizer that doubles as a make-up remover. I haven't tried this one yet.

4. Number 4 hairspray. This was nice, good scent too, which is a plus. I don't normally use hairspray. I'm a wash and go kind of girl.

There you guys go. What do you think? Should I post my Birchbox goodies every month? I also got a monthly subscription to Ipsy. They are just like Birchbox, same price, but different products. I am excited to get my first box in January. Maybe I will do a comparison of the two...

Random ramblings...

I don't really have any fabulous news, it just feels like I haven't blogged in forever. 

First let me say that I am already having Daryl Dixon withdrawals. February? Really?

On an upbeat note, I sent Chasing Angel to the editor. The moment I hit send, I had a panic attack. I never feel like a book is ready, and I already want to go back in make a million more changes, but I am restraining myself until after I get the edits back. *Deep breath*

If you haven't checked them out yet, there are a few giveaways in the below post with awesome prizes!!! Thank you guys for sharing your favorite cookie recipes. I am officially craving Christmas.

I am thinking while Chasing Angel is in edits I will write a bonus Christmas scene…hmmm

There will also be some upcoming posts about Weaving Magick. I will be working on designing a cover (I need the visual inspiration), and I am thinking about giving a sneak peak of Chapter 1.

And lastly, I have a short story called Blood, Love, and Magic that is being released under Nevermore Press in 2014. I guess I did have some exciting news after all.  I will post more deets once I know.

You guys rock my socks!!!
