Starbound - makeover

STARBOUND got a makeover. And I am loving it!!!

Check out the new cover and blurb below. And in case you have not yet read Katia & Seth's story, I will be adding the first few chapters to my Wattpad.


Description:

FML is becoming Katia’s motto for senior year. Things couldn’t get any worse, or so she thought. After another uppity party that ends badly, she finds herself stumbling down the street with a broken heel. So when the guy she’s had a mad crush on since preschool offers Katia a ride, she couldn’t say no. But she should have. Seth Nightingale was trouble.

Seth just made the biggest mistake of his life, and there is no way to fix it. He kissed Katia Montgomery. What hell had he been thinking? The problem is, when Katia is around, his mind turns to mush. Torn between his affection for Katia and his desire to not die, Seth is forced to deal with the very thing he’s been avoiding his entire life. 

A dark curse and deep-seated deception leads Katia and Seth closer to their cursed destiny. They will have to overcome an ancient curse, toe-curling lust, and love if they want to survive.

Genre: Teen Paranormal Romance

Cover Reveal for White Raven

You guys, I am seriously lovin' on this cover! I find myself constantly taking a peek at it. I am so unbelievably excited to share this story with you that I just can't wait any longer.


COMING WINTER 2014

Description:

It only took one heartbeat to change my life—one chilling phone call in the middle of the night.

And then, as if my life didn’t already suck, my dad sends my little brother and me to some creepy island for what was supposed to be just for the summer. Naturally I rebel. However, in the end, I find myself stranded on Raven Hollow…and bored to tears.

Until I get an eyeful of the mind-bendingly gorgeous Zane Hunter. The dark-hair cutie makes my pulse go bonkers, and I think, maybe this might not be so bad after all. But my swoon-worthy vision of him is shattered the moment he opens his mouth. Zane is an arrogant, egotistical jerkwad.

Yet, there is something about Zane that is dangerously appealing, and it’s not just his devastating smirk that drives me berserk. But figuring out what makes Zane tick is a puzzle I might never solve, because things take a nasty turn. Of course, the one person I want to avoid becomes my salvation.

Someone wants me dead, and the closer I get to the truth, the more I realize my whole life is a lie. But it is not just my life that is in jeopardy…it’s my heart too.

Starbound - EARLY RELEASE!

Eeeppp!



I have decided to do an early release for STARBOUND. *happy dance* The book is done and ready to go, so I thought, heck, why not. The perks of being an idie-author. Love it! So Starbound will be now be releasing tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11th!!






It will be available on Amazon and B&N for $2.99 and in paperback. Links will be posted tomorrow when it goes on sale.

Description:



Everyone, in some way, has been touched by magick. If you have the blood of a spider goddess flowing in your veins, it is a double whammy…and kind of creepy. 

Katia Montgomery’s life is charmed. She is pretty, popular, and dating the star basketball player. So then why is she miserable? There is so much more to Katia than endless parties, expensive clothes, and her social status—she is a nixie. Her world feels inadequate, lonely, and she can’t shake the feeling that something or someone is missing. And that might just explain why she is suddenly crushing on the mouthwatering and forbidden Seth Nightingale.

Seth has always known that the sassy and spunky Katia is destined to be his—that they are starbound. While she goes through boyfriends like bubble gum, chewing them up and spitting them out, he stands in the shadows, unable to do anything about it, knowing he shouldn’t care. Not a damn thing in his power can change their fates, and that…well, really blows, but it doesn’t stop him from dreaming about her, craving her, loving her. 

A dark curse hangs over their heads, one cast centuries before. Now it is up to Seth to be stronger than ever and resist the one girl he can never have…or risk killing them both. But the attraction between them is something neither can ignore.

And the curse, it’s out for blood—their blood.

Moondust release date!


Moondust, the conclusion to the Luminescence Trilogy will be released on May 2, 2014!! And I can't wait to share it, however I will be a little sad to see the series come to end. Don't forget to add it to your Goodreads list.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17268779-moondust


Description:



The golden witch or the dark witch? Those were my choices. Both exceptionally heart-stopping.

One was like the brightest stream of sunshine. A close friend. He knows all my secrets, all my worries, all my dreams, considering he used to be a part of them. Now that he is real, things haven’t been the same, and I can’t help shake the feeling the something was brewing under the surface.
The other I love with my last dying breath. He is not only dark and dangerous looking, the magic he wields is deadly. Lethal. Destructive. A magical assassin, if there is such a thing. It was a fine line to walk, and could easily tumble down the wrong path. But he holds my heart and my happiness, even after I almost accidentally killed him. My magic is eerily and freakishly unpredictable.

I’m a clàr silte. Whatever that meant.

The way I saw it, there were only two paths for my future: I was going to be killed, or I was going to be used as a weapon. Neither of those choices sounded appealing. My future looked bleak and troublesome.

In the end, I would have to make the toughest decision. There was evil working among us.

Or maybe the evil was me.

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!!!

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
