The Divisa Series Audiobook

The Divisa Series will be available on Audiobook!


My thoughts exactly.

I am currently in the process of holding auditions and have narrowed it down to 2 producers. Once I make the decision, the recording process will start. I don't know the exact timetable, but they will be available for purchase on audibles.com in the order that I wrote them. As soon as Saving Angel is available, I will let you guys know.

Oooo. And don't forget. Moondust is out tomorrow!!!!

Divisa Questions...


I've been getting some questions about Chasing Angel and/or parts of the book. So I thought I would take a minute and answer some of those questions.

I have also been getting a ton of ah-ma-zing emails and comments from you guys regarding the series. You guys are the shit! (I have the worst sailor mouth, and I usually tone it down for my books and my posts, but it can't be helped here. It is just the truth!) I can't tell you guys how much I heart that you love Chase and Angel as much as I do.

1. Is Loving Angel going to be a continuation, or will it be a retelling of the current books?

This is by far the most popular question recently. Loving Angel will be the 4th book in the series ,and it will be a continuation. The story will pick up where Chasing Angel left off, but from Chase's POV.

I get asked all the time to write scenes from his POV, which I love to do, so I thought, heck, why not write a whole book from that smexy boy's head.

2. When will Loving Angel be released?

Honestly, I haven't even thought about it. Probably later 2014. I have 2 other projects that I am committed to. One for my Publisher, the 3rd book in the Luminescence Trilogy. It unusually takes me 2-3 months to write a book.

3. What is up with Emma? The whole mind-control-thingy seemed too easy.

Agreed. I struggled with that the entire time I wrote Chasing Angel, but I could never find the right moment in the story for the conflict I had in mind for poor Emma. But rest assured that it is going to make an appearance in Loving Angel. Oh Chase, he is going to have his hands full with troublesome girls.

4. Is Loving Angel the final book?

I actually don't have an end in sight for this series yet. I am thinking there will be at least 2 more books, maybe even a spinoff for Lexi??? Who knows. I am one of those writers who doesn't have an outline or a storyboard. I just sort of let the story write itself 0_o Does that make sense?

Well, that is all I can think of off the top of my head. If you have a question, leave me a comment below or send me an email.

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 suitstotally 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.

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!!!

The Divisa Series - it's expanding

 

Starting in December, the Divisa series is FINALLY going to be available in other venues like Barnes & Nobles, Smashwords, & the Apple store.

Why wasn't available before?

Well, Amazon has this KDP Select program that allows authors to lend the books to Amazon's library, and also lets you do promo days like FREEBIES. But it locks you into a 3 month period at a time and permits authors from listing it on any other site. This was pretty successful for me, and I loved being able to offer my books for free occasionally =)

I have gotten requests lately about the book being available for the Nook, so I have decided to give B&N another shot.

There are also going to be some upcoming bonus scenes from Chase's POV. I am thinking about doing Christmas and Valentines Day bonus material. If you guys have any requests, let me know.

I have also hinted for the last few months that there was going to be another book in the series =) It is true. The next book will be LOVING ANGEL, and it will be entirely from Chase's POV. I am very excited!!!

Unfortunately I do have a few projects scheduled before I can get to this book, so I don't have a clue when it will be released. *sad face*

There are some awesome Giveaways scheduled for the upcoming Holidays - check back for deets!!!

XOXO




I threw this in just because I never get tired of looking at it!!

Demon's Kiss - A tale from Chase Winters


It is almost Halloween! Yes! And Chase wanted to get in on the action. If you head over to Fallen Over Books you can read a Halloween tale from Chase's POV, and she has an awesome Giveaway as well that you can win a ton of cool books from other authors as well. I'm totally stoked!

*Kisses*

This is Halloween, this is Halloween...

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song.

Does anyone else think that A Nightmare Before Christmas along with Charlie Brown's It's a Great Pumpkin are the best Halloween movies?

So I am a total chicken sh*t when it comes to scary movies. I am the kind of girl that jumps in her seat at the theatre, screams, hides under the covers and grabs the person next to her (which usually is my lucky husband). Heck, Supernatural scares me.

Bahahahaha...

To get myself in the spirit of goblins, ghouls, witches and all the other scary stuff, I thought I would do a blog about the Halloween costumes in HUNTING ANGEL.

The feisty Angel was Sally Stitches:


The glitzy Lexi was a Grecian Goddess: (dang girl)

Kailyn as Pocahontas.

And last but not least...Brandy the Genie in a bottle:



The best thing about Halloween...I get to eat all my kids candy. Num num num

Divisa Covers are here...

Eeeeeee!!!!!

I am beyond excited.

These covers are so freaking-fan-tasic! I feel like that the Divisa series was lacking some really kickass covers and these deliver. So I had original planned to release one a day, but I just can't contain myself. I suck at surprises - no patience.

Instead I am going to share them all now, except...sorry. I am holding one back...CHASING ANGEL's cover. There will be a cover reveal tour for that one, which I am working on currently.

Can I get another Eeeeeee!

Ok, here you go. Tell me what you think. Also I have to give the worlds biggest shout-out to Kelly Walker who is the designer. I heart her tons <3

Don't forget that Breaking Emma is out tomorrow! What a week.

SAVING ANGEL:


LOSING EMMA:



HUNTING ANGEL:



BREAKING EMMA:


These will all be going live everywhere as fast as I can get my digits to upload them.

XOXO

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!!!

Save the Date - Demon's Kiss (Chase Winters)

 


Stop the presses...On October 24th, Chase Winters will be making an appearance on Fallen Over Book Reviews. *Gasp*

Autumn at Fallen Over Book Reviews will be doing a Giveaway for the entire month of October (yep the whole month) with a bunch of other fabulous authors. There will be a ebook copy of HUNTING ANGEL in the Giveaway. Also on October 24th, Chase will be sharing from his POV a ghoulish story, which he has titled Demon's Kiss. It is sure to be a scream.

Bahahaha...(sorry for the creepy laugh, couldn't resist)

I will be posting links on the date and will also probably share his story on my scribd page.

Make sure to check out Autumns blog everyday in October for more spooky stories from other authors.

On a side note, look for the upcoming Divisa Novella, BREAKING EMMA, to be released before the end of the year. I should have a definite date soon <3 This novella is told in Emma's point of view.

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!!!

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...


My husband hearing all the common asked, "Are you okay?" And 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...
 

and...
 

What I'm trying to say is...
 
  
 
and...
