Cover Reveal - Glenbrook

I had the cover for Glenbrook: Book Four of The Ethereal Crossings made up a while ago with the other new covers for the series.  I thought I would reveal it, since it's already up on my website anyway and I will be setting it up on Goodreads later :)

I still do not have a set date for the release of Glenbrook!

*Cover design by yocladesigns.com*

Luke is trapped in Shadeland, and there’s supposedly no way to get him out.  Everyone is keeping their mouth shut, since something’s happening within the Eidolon world that they don’t want the humans knowing about.

Liv is determined to find out, even if it means going against all warnings, and travelling to Shadeland herself.

Monthly Giveaways + Release Date for Astral Bodies!

So with the release of Astral Bodies coming up (part one will be available on Smashwords and Kindle in February and hopefully make it to retailers quickly), I thought I'd try something with it.

Every month a new part of Astral Bodies will be released, and with it you'll have a chance to win one of my other books in eBook form!  :D

Here's how it'll work:

1. I post new part.
2. You read said part.
3.  You comment on my Facebook, blog, or even send me a tweet about what you liked/disliked about this part.  It could be a full review, or simply a "LOVED/HATED IT!" comment by the time the next part is released.  There's a full month for you to comment!
4. One winner will get to win one of my books in eBook form through Smashwords!

*Please note that the winners will be random picks, and that when you get the eBook it will be through Smashwords coupon (meaning you need  a Smashwords account, which is free).  When you download the book you can then put it onto whatever eReader you use.
*Another note: I will need an email address to contact you at; if you do not wish to disclose your email we can do a private message on twitter/facebook :)

So get ready this March!

RELEASE DATE SCHEDULE

Astral Bodies will be released on the LAST Thursday of each month.  Here are the dates for the first four parts:

Part One - February 27, 2014

Part Two - March 27, 2014

Part Three - April 24, 2014

Part Four - May 29, 2014

I'm Not Dead I'm Just Writing

Although sometimes writing can feel like being dead (brain dead at least).  Over the past few days I've been somehow writing about 5000 words a day, and by the end of it I'm just very out of it.  I'm getting a lot done though :)  On things I probably shouldn't be focusing on :(

Anywho, Astral Bodies is still on track (and going well I might add), while Glenbrook is slowing down.  I'm having a bit of writers block on this one, which is why it's taking me longer to write, I think.  Liv is giving me trouble...but I'm trying to write at least a little bit on it every day.

The giveaway for The Warden in the Gates ended a few days ago, and I'm going set up another Goodreads one soon!  Most likely for Shadeland.

But that's all I have for now.  More news about Astral Bodies/giveaways in February!

My Writing Resolutions

It's 2014, and that means it is time for me to make goals for myself.  I probably should have done a post like this sooner, but oh well.  My writing goals for the year are...

• To finish Glenbrook (I'm already about halfway there! YAY!)
• To finish Of Noble Blood: The Second Fable (Ventori Fables, #2)
• To continue writing/possibly finish Astral Bodies, my new serial novel :)

I would very much love to add more "To finish" to that list, but that would be a bit too overwhelming I think.  Sadly I can only do so much now with my current schedule.


So that's what's going on on the writing front, and on the publishing front I just put out With Cross & Charm a couple weeks early!  It's still being loaded and checked on Smashwords to go out to all retailers, but it's available on Amazon for $0.99.
If you aren't sure about it, a good chunk of it is posted on Wattpad to read for free!

Astral Bodies - Sneak Peek

Here's a look at Astral Bodies, my upcoming serial novel.  This paranormal murder mystery will be out on or at least around March 1, 2014!  So be on the lookout for it :)

I jumped up, throwing my book across the room and knocking my tea over.  There was a scream trying to crawl out of my throat, but I managed to choke it down and breathe again.

“What the hell?” I questioned.  I searched my memory but everything began to blur together.  All I knew was that I found a body in the Arrow Woods, and the killer was still there.  Ignoring the spilt tea, I jumped from bed and grabbed my cell phone, ready to call the police.  But I had to stop myself.

How would I explain seeing that to them?  Another idea struck, and I headed from my dorm, not even bothering to put my robe on.

The university still had a couple old pay phones hidden in it’s shadowy corners.  Nobody used them anymore, and I prayed they were still functional.  As I approached them I searched the lobby for anyone that might notice me, but found myself alone.  I was behind the front desk, the woman there busy playing some game on her cellphone.

I picked the phone up quietly, keeping my eyes on the front doors, and dialled 911.

When they picked up I interrupted them and said, “There’s a body in the Arrow Woods, near the falls.  The killer made a fire and they’re doing some sort of…ritual, I think.  You should hurry.”

I felt sick.  Every inch of my good natured being was ordering I answer the operator as they asked my name, but instead I hung up the phone.  I licked my lips and closed my eyes a moment, allowing my hands to shake.

I took a deep breath.  It was over now; I’d done my part.
