Chasing Angel bookmarks

So I have been toying with bookmarks for Chasing Angel. I just finished a mock up that I think might be the winner.

What do you guys think???? I've still got to tweak it a little.

Once I decide on a final design, I will have a spot on my blog and website to request the FREE bookmarks. Yep, I will totally be giving this bad boys away. I would love to get your thoughts. Would you prefer a steaming photo or something more along the book cover? I can't decide. Maybe both???

CHASING ANGEL Cover Reveal

It's finally here!! Can I get a whoot-whoot? The cover for CHASING ANGEL, and I am so excited to share it with you. I just love it!

And to celebrate the cover reveal, BREAKING EMMA is available FREE on amazon today and tomorrow (Oct. 22-23).

To keep the excitement going, below is also the trailer for CHASING ANGEL. It will also be up on my youtube channel @_0




I have had a ton of peeps asking me about the release date. *nipples on nails* So now that the cover is revealed, I really need to commit to a release date (I have commitment issues). I should have a date narrowed down in the next few weeks, but I aiming for the beginning of January 2014.

I know, it's too far.

I've also gotten a lot of inquiries if this will be the last book in the series... Hmm, you'll just have to wait and see. (I know, I suck.)

XOXO,

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

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!!!

Zoning out

Hiya!

So I have been in this writing phase lately. After a long day at my 9-5, I love to come home, lock myself away, boot up my computer, plug in my earbuds, and...

Blare an obscene amount Evanescence tracks on repeat.

I almost always listen to music while I zone out and write, lately its all about Evanescence.

I absolutely love the balance of her voice and the rock. It is darkly beautiful, poetic and inspires me. The words just seem to flow so much smoother with Amy Lee singing to me.

I love all of their songs, but my absolute fav is Bring Me to Life.

What do you guys zone-out to?
