Multiple POV's...yeah or nah?

Hmmm. Look at those lips.

Every blog post should start with a yummy guy, it's like having a bowl of Wheaties in the morning. My Wheaties would have to be Damon Salvatore.

Lately I have been mulling around with a new story - a Dystopian Romance. I've been playing with ideas here and there, trying to figure stuff out (stuff, I have such a way with words). I started out writing in 1st person, then I re-wrote in 3rd person, but what I think I really want to do is 1st person multiple POV's.

The two main characters are Zoeya and Dash, so I was thinking of alternating between the two of them.

Is this a good idea?
Do readers enjoy the swapping of POV's?

I personally enjoy them, but the few I have read didn't start the series out that way. It wasn't until the 4th or 5th book that the swapping of voices occurred.

Hmm... I just can't decided. I think when the time comes, I will post the intro in all three and take a poll. In the future. By future, I mean I have no idea when. I really need to keep my focus on Hunting Angel, but after that I might play around with the storyline. I am sure you will hear more about it.

If you have a preference or an opinion, let me know!

XOXO

Every time I hear this song...

Every time I hear this song...No joke, I think of Chase and Angel. Maybe its because I have been diligently working on Hunting Angel or maybe it is just because Chase is trouble (usually the good kind). Regardless, this song inspires me.

I am a huge Taylor Swift fan (this actually currently my ringtone. I love it that much).

Sometime next week a second edition of Saving Angel will be uploaded with so much needed editing. Losing Emma will follow in the next few weeks. Thank you Elena, you are life saver!

I am still amazed at the emails and comments I get about this series. It means the the world, it makes me want to keep on writing.

XOXO

LOSING EMMA (A Divisa Novella) Freebie!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought the holiday would be a great time to give away LOSING EMMA for free. This is a prequel novella to SAVING EMMA in the Divisa series.

So for today and tomorrow only LOSING EMMA will be available for free on Amazon.

What a great way to spend some of your holiday catching up on some reading, well that's what I usually do on my days off. Lately my free time is reserved for writing. That is what I will be doing on this Holiday and looking forward to it.

Get your free copy here:

On a side note, the four day vacation from my day job is much needed. Time for some relaxation, a ton of food and get into the writing zone. My 2 boys will be out of town for most of the Holiday, so I should be able to dedicate some much needed time to AMETHYST TEARS.

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Gobble! Gobble!

LOSING EMMA (Divisa Novella Prequel) Heck ya!

I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to everyone who has bought SAVING ANGEL and LOSING EMMA this week.

It was a fantastic week, and I am so excited for the release of this Novella. I just love this series to pieces <3.

You guys are amazing! I am just floored from the ratings this series is getting.

If you have already read SAVING ANGEL check out LOSING EMMA available for only $1.99:

Description:

Emma Deen is no stranger to being the new girl. The word roots aren’t in her family’s vocabulary. So when she finds herself a junior at Hall High the last thing she expected was to be drawn to the magnetic Travis Winters. Those turquoise eyes and irresistible dimples tug at her heart. Dancing used to consume her world... until Travis.

Being half-demon is no picnic in the park. Friends are sparse, his love life is tricky and he was always in constant danger. Even though Travis tries to keep his distance, Emma makes it impossible for him to ignore her anymore. And his life takes on a new meaning. Hopeful. Tempting. Love.

Travis’s dark secret would not only throw them in danger, it would also change their lives. Neither of them knew what being together would lead to.

If you haven't read SAVING ANGEL check it out here.

SAVING ANGEL, A Divisa Novel by J.L. Weil Release Day

Whoo-ray! It's finally here. Today is the release day of SAVING ANGEL book #1 in the Divisa series, an older YA Paranormal Romance.

Make sure you leave a review either on amazon or goodreads ;) I heart reviews!!

SAVING ANGEL is only $3.99 on Amazon.

Description:

I wondered what my life would be like if we had never moved to the ho-dunk town of Spring Valley, Illinois. Sure the internet service was splotchy, there was nothing but miles of wheat fields and I probably wouldn’t be faced with death at every corner.

My only neighbor in this god forsaken town was… well there really is only one to describe him, hot as hell. With his sinful dark looks, unusually silver eyes and kissable lips, there was something about him that was more than meets the eye.

Of course I was determined to find out.

Chase Winters might be drool-worthy, but he is also insufferable, arrogant and … in short a d-bag. Our relationship is anything but love at first sight. Not even close. There is something weird about the family living next door.

What I hadn’t expected to find was an underworld of trouble.

Chase and his cousins Lexi and Travis are Divisa, half-demon, half-human. Getting them angry is hardly in my best interest, not if I wanted to live.

As it turns out, that might be the least of my problems. I’ve been tagged by hell.

Now every ugly, nasty being from hades is on my trail. I have suddenly became a magnet for demon disaster and the only way I am getting out of this alive is by putting my life in the demon spawn’s hands.

One wrong decision and my butt is toast.

Luminescence is back

LUMINESCENCE is available again on all sites including B&N, Lulu, amazon, and smashword. 0_0

Yay! It's good to have it back up.

On another note I am in the editing process of Saving Angel and hopefully will be for sale beginning of September. I am halfway finished with the prequel Losing Emma and will be for sale before the end of the year.

Then I will be switching gears back to finishing Amythest Tears (book 2 of Luminescence series) and polishing the book.

Gosh it's been a extremely busy year. I can't believe how much fun I have had writing these stories.

Thanks everyone for giving them a chance! I hope you enjoy the Divisia series as much as I do. I am a little in love with Chase Winters *sigh*

Shout Out to Book Bloggers

I just wanted to say how great this whole experience has been. Before I started writing I always read. It was a huge part of my life. Other people party all night, I stayed up and read all night. I never knew that there was a huge great community of people who loved books as much as I did and blogged about them.

Let me just say that through this process I have met some unbelievably great people. And through them I have been connected with some amazing books and other authors. I wish that I had been a part of this much earlier. I guess I am a little late to the party ;(

I have learned so much about the blogging process and am looking forward to continuing meeting people through blogs, twitter and goodreads. I would love to branch out eventually and get involved with the blog tours and ARC's.

Thanks to everyone who gave this self-published author a chance!!!

xoxo

Crossroads

The last month I have been at a crossroad. Which path do I take?

I always give myself deadlines on when I need to complete a project. It's the only way I can keep myself sane and insure I get it down. Sometimes I have to shuffle things around, because nothing in life ever goes as expected.

Well the last three weeks I got so caught up in a new book a started writing. A paranormal romance that I absolute fell in love with immediately. So much so that I have written 20+ chapters and am nearing the finish. Everything else kind of fell into the background as this book just tumbled from my fingers.

I have already thought of a novella prequel that I want to finish before the end of the year, plus my second book in the Luminescence Trilogy. I know that I should be putting all my focus into complete Ameythst Tears, but this book just couldn't wait.

In the mean time, I have put my Elements series on hold as this book just grabbed ahold of me. I still plan to finish it in the near future (as the first one is already half finished) but I am going to try and focus on my current books.

My fingers are crossed that this will be the book to get published. I am so excited about the storyline and the characters. Regardless, I am very proud of this book. Any details I have, I will blog about as soon as I know.

whoooo oooooo

I just reached my first 1,000 sales. Luminescence has been out for just a little less than a month. It has been completely awesome processes, writing, editing (not my fav) and publishing my first book. I couldn't be happier with the results and the people who have encouraged and supported me - you guys are awesome!

Plus the amount of international sales have been great. This whole experienced has opened new doors I never thought I been able to reach.

I've been hard working on the 1st book in my new series Earth Bound. Which should be ready to go viral in August 2012 & then I go straight to finishing and editing Amethyst Tears (Book 2 in Luminescence). Book 2 is expected to be released Fall of 2012.

Check back for upcoming details.

Freebie and Ramblings

Today was the first day of Luminescence free on Amazon.com - a smashing success. Well for me it was. I was completely hesitant about entering my book in amazon's KDP select program. The idea of taking my book off the other sites and making it strictly available to kindle wasn't exactly idea, but in the end I think the exposure was good for the book. And I am ultimately glad that I decided to try it.

Lately I've focused so much attention on promoting and querying Luminescence (rejection can be brutal) that I need to get back into writing. I've started a new 4-book series that I am super excited about it. I think it is the best book I've written so far. It's called the Elements of Hidden Harbor, and there is a preview available to read here.

If you haven't figure it out yet I love to write fantasy - mostly really witches. I love magic! And lots and lots of romance. I am a sucker for love! I am shooting to have the new book Earth Bound released in August 2012. I wrote 5,000 words last night and am hoping to get another 5K in tonight before I go out for some line dancing.

I have also been working on book 2 Amethyst Tears but only have a few chapters complete. My heart hasn't been in the right place while I am still promoting Luminescence. But I am aiming to have it ready in October for release.

Much love from fairyland.

Luminescence - Free

Luminescence for the next two weeks will be available exclusive to Amazon.com. On June 6th and 7th it will be free! That's right free! I am very excited about this.

After the running promotion it will be back up on the other sites, smashwords and B&N. I do apologize for any who planned on buying it from one of them, but know that it will return. ;)

During the Amazon.com promotion it will still be available in paperback at createspace.com. Make sure you check it out there and grab a copy.

Thank you for everyones support!

To everyone who bought my book this week...

Thanks for making it a wonderfully experience so far.

Book Covers

I wanted to get the opinion of readers on book covers. What you like, what catches your eye and what you don't like. I of course have my own opinion, I wanted to see what the majority likes. This is an ongoing poll and would love to hear for you. Then we'll get to see what the majority of readers prefer. It can be an genre even though I mostly writeTeen Fantasy.

The past few days I have been going over style designs for my first book in the Elements of Hidden Harbor series, Earth Bound (Sage's story). I can't decide if I want to got with a person on the cover or not.

Being an avid reader myself, I thought I would kick it off with a few of my favorites and not so favorites. I haven't read all of these books, so I am not vouching for the content, just cover alone.

These are a few that I thought were creative ~

I actually really love the mirror image and in this case I love the girl - great effect.

It's no secret that I absolutely adore Nora Roberts. Her covers are always fabulous. So I am giving her her own slot. These are just a few of my fav's for her large collection of books.

So I am not always a fan of people on covers. I think sometimes it can take away the vision of what the reader images of characters. The illusions in these covers are fantastic. Its just enough without giving away what they really look like.

Now for a few that I am not all that impressed with ~

I am a huge Trueblood and Sookiestack House fan. I don't know what it is though, I just don't love the book covers. Does anyone else agree? Love the stories - Love Eric.

I would love to hear what other books you think have amazing covers and also the not so great. Its important to know what the readers want.

Edits...

Now that Luminescence is out and about I have worked hard on editing. Now matter how perfect I may think the book is, I know that there are bound to be mistakes and errors. I would greatly appreciate if you notice those little mistakes, that you email me or contact me through my blog. Please leave comments below. I want to put the best book out there I possibly can. I will address them immediately and make sure they get updated on all sites.

Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the book. I am currently hard work on book 2. Check back for updates.
