**BIG news for LUMINESCENCE TRILOGY**

I have mega exciting news regarding the Luminescence Trilogy.

Are you guys ready...Hang I need to take a seat and a deep breath.

Nevermore Press will be publishing the Trilogy and I couldn't be happier!! Seriously I couldn't. My ears are still ringing from all the excitement.


This totally happened and some of this...
 
 
Check back for updates on the upcoming news. Right now Luminescence is scheduled for release on Nov. 15, 2013 and Amethyst Tears on Dec. 20, 2013. I am still unsure how this will impact the release dates of the books in the Divisa series, but I am going to do my very best to not make you guys wait a millennium ;)

I leave you with this last thought...



Love you guys *muwah*

The kinds of stuff you'll find in my books...

So I thought it would be fun to put together a little list of stuff that you are likely to find in reading one of my books.

 


1. Jared Padalecki. J/K. How awesome would it be if you could? Though I would prefer Jensen Ackles. (Have I mentioned that I have a thing for Jensen Ackles?)
2. Hot guys with piercings
3. Hot guys with tattoos
4. Hot guys with piercings and tattoos (ok I think I got all the hotness covered)
5. Hot Bad boys. Correction. To drool for bad boys.
6. Swearing. In real life I swear like a sailor, so I try real hard to tone it down in my books.
7. A ton of description about eyes. @_@ I have a thing for eyes. It's my favorite feature, and I really like exotic eyes. I just realized that both my series have glowing eyes - lol.
8. Alpha males. I like my male leads to be possessive and protective.
9. Sarcasm.
10. Cliches.
11. Steamy, magnetism sexual tension.
12. Kissing and more...oh yeah. I like the and more part.
13. Cliffhangers.
14. A fun read. (I hope)

For those Luminescence fans, I will have exciting news to share in the near future!

XOXO

Everyone wants to know...


The question that is on everyone's mind: When is Chasing Angel going to released?

Eeeee.

Honestly I don't know. I have a lot of exciting stuff (stuff? I know so specific) going on with my books that I will share with you once I know the details. In the meantime, I don't have any release dates for any upcoming books just yet.

Currently I am writing Breaking Emma, which I should be finished with at the end of August. It is a Novella from Emma's point of view and Chase will be making more than one appearance in the lovely-but-crazy Emma story.

I haven't really posted anything lately, and I didn't want anyone to think I have fallen off the earth. I have just been submerged into writing and other book stuff =)

Though check back in a the next two weeks as I will be giving away a signed copy of both Saving Angel and Hunting Angel to a lucky winner. Boom yeah!

Exciting Guests - The lo down from Chase & Angel


Guys, I have a special treat for you today. The other day I did a Q&A about the Divisia series and today we have two awesome guests from the books. They have agreed to answer a few questions.

Me: Chase & Angel, say hello...
Angel: "Hey."
Chase: "Sup."
Angel: *eye roll*

Me: "Chase, the fans are dying to know if you are single?"
Chase: "Define single."
Angel: *kicks him*
Chase: "Ouch. What was that for?"
Me: "Are you dating anyone special?"
Chase: "Am I ever."

Me: "Ookay, now that we have sort of established that you two are still an item, Angel what is it like to be linked to Chase?"
Angel: "It is like having the worst period cramp of your life."
Chase: *snickers* "Come on Angel Eyes, you love being bonded to me. What girl wouldn't?"
Angel: "See what I have to deal with."

Me: "Chase, what is it like to be a sex symbol?"
Chase: "It's just a burden I've had to live with."
Angel: *snorts very unlady-like*

Me: "Moving on. Angel would you say that your relationship with Chase was love at first sight?"
Angel: "It was more like love at first glare."
Me: "Chase?"
Chase: "Ditto."

Me: "I have to ask. Angel, is Chase a good kisser?"
Chase: *smirks*
Angel: *flushes* "Umm."
Chase: "You better have something other than umm. Do you need a refresher?"
Angel: "Keep your lips to yourself bucko. His kisses are like...dynamite. They are explosive."
Chase: *smugly leans close* "Later then..."
Me: *fans self* "Whoa that was intense."

Me: "Thanks guys. It's was...interesting."
Chase: "We like to keep things spontaneous."
Me: "I just bet you do." *giggles*

Q&A - Divisa Series


So I thought I would do a Q&A on the Divisa Series, maybe answer a few questions people have been pondering. If there was a question I didn't touch upon, leave me a comment =)

1. When will Chasing Angel be released?
I don't know. Sorry guys, that is a sucky answer. There are a bunch of factors that will determine the release. And one them I can't say. The other one is the readers. There is a current running poll for the summer to decide which book I should write next, so if you want to reading Chasing Angel, vote!

2. Is Chasing Angel the last book in the series?
Hmmm. If you would have asked me prior to writing Hunting Angel, I would have said yes, but now that it is complete I am just not positive that this will be the last book. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

3. What is up with the Divisa mark?
It is a mark given to half-human, half-demon from the demon that sired them. The mark distinguishes which demon bloodline they were born from and each is unique to the demon. So Lexi and Travis share the same mark, they were both sired from the same demon, whereas Chase's is different.

4. Is the Divisa series only available for the Kindle?
As of right now it is only on Amazon, but you can also purchase a paperback through Amazon or Createspace as well. Hopefully in the future it will branch out to other platforms.

5. What does it mean to be half-demon?
Well, being half demon is like having another being inside you. One that can be destructive, wild, out-of-control, dangerous. It sort of like having split personalities I guess. There is this demon that lives inside them that they constantly struggle to keep under wraps. During the day, the demon often lays dormant. It is when the sunsets that things start to get dicey.

6. What does Divisa mean?
Divisa is actually a Latin word that means divided. When I was looking for a name to the species of half-humans, half-demons I knew I wanted to use a Latin or maybe a Celtic word, so googled (my best friend). And I came across the word for divided and it just fit. They are literally divided between their human half and their demon half.

Ummm that's all for now, I think. Let me know if you there is something you want to know more about. I also love to do interviews. Actually, I did my first video interview over the weekend, and I will be posting links to those videos when they become available. It was very informal and so much fun. Two girls chitchatting about their love for books. I had a blast Elena - Thank you!!

Exciting stuff...


Got some exciting news. Before the end of the month I will have signed copies of both SAVING ANGEL & HUNTING ANGEL to giveaway. Stay tuned for more details =)



Every day since the release of HUNTING ANGEL, I am more blown away. It has been a little over a year since my first book, and I just can't believe how much fun and awesome this is!! You guys are all freaking amazing!


So some of you might have seen that I have a running poll for the summer on which book I should write next. Well, I have a pretty good feeling that my boy Chase is going to take the prize. He is just so darn edible.

I have been getting lots of inquires on when the release will be for CHASING ANGEL (can I just say now, that I love the name of this book. It actually was the name of the first book before I decided to turn it into a series). And the truth is, I just don't know. Sorry guys, but I promise that if Chase & Angel do win the poll, I will working on the story asap.

I am hoping to have BREAKING EMMA ready for publication sometime toward the end of summer beginning of fall. So at least we will get a little bit of a Chase fix. He will be making a few appearances in Emma's book, I am sure.

Big hugs. XOXO


**If you haven't noticed, I am going through a huge Supernatural fangirl phase. I just can't wait to get my hands on, I mean can't get enough of Jensen Ackles.

Cover Reveal & New book...It's a double whammy!

**Spoiler**

If you haven't finished HUNTING ANGEL, you might want to divert your eyes or skip this post.

Now that the release of HUNTING ANGEL has finally happened (heck ya), I thought this would be a good time to let you all know that there will be Novella coming soon featuring Emma & Travis.

After finishing HUNTING ANGEL, I realized there was a chunk missing from the story focusing around Emma & Travis. So I decided to write a novella, which wasn't in my plan, but I felt the need to expand on their story.

Here is the cover for BREAKING EMMA. A decription will follow shortly, as soon as I write it - LOL.


 
This book will pick up Emma's story after SAVING ANGEL and during HUNTING ANGEL. Hopefully this will fill in some of the blanks.

You guys are the best!

Also there might be some might be some posts coming in the future from Chase Winters himself and his side of what went down in Hunting Angel. He has an opinion on everything.

Kisses *mowah*

My Boy Chase...

I am totally blown away by the release of Hunting Angel and so is my boy Chase.

At first I was like...

Of course I can't help myself...


Then my husband asked...


Ummm... Does being high on Chase count?
 
Husband: "Say what?"
 
 
So I just wanted to say...

What I'm trying to say is...
