It's the coolest job ever; I am so joining the order when I turn 18. Would you say that your live a normal

Sins of the Fallen Sneak Preview

Hi everyone!  Sins of the Fallen (Academy of the Fallen 3) will be available in less than a month and I already can't wait to work on the next book in the series.  Sins of the Fallen was an emotional roller-coaster and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.  Here is a sneak preview and information on how to pre-order your signed copy.  Enjoy! :)  CHAPTER ONE Kayla I wish I could go back to when life was simple; when I didn’t have to make choices that so many lives depended on.   In a way, I could.   I had the option of leaving and never looking back, but I knew in my heart that I would never be able to live with that choice.   I also knew I would never be free from the beings that haunt me. I sat in the library of the Academy where I had arrived just days before.   I was supposed to be thinking things through before I gave Clarissa, the angel in charge of this Academy, my final decision; but my decision had already been made the mom

NaNoWriMo Tips

It's that time of the year again.  The time when authors enter National November Writing Month, challenging themselves to write a 50k word novel in 1 month!

It's just not going to happen. You need more time to write, so plan ahead because you and your family will be ordering take-out a lot!   Now the serious tips...  Setting Goals! Most nano writers set their goal at 1,666 words a day.  That gives them 50k words for the month.  The problem with that is that you are not counting on those days when you just don't feel like writing.  There is also the fact that you'll likely be much more motivated... and less tired, during the first part of the month.  And you are less likely to run into writing obstab

The Next Best Thing!

It's time for a blog hop!  This one includes a Q&A that reveals a couple of things about my upcoming book, Sins of the Fallen, which will be available on December 11, 2012.  After the Q&A you'll find the link for other authors blogs where you can read about their  current release or upcoming book.  These are all authors who I personally selected for this blog hop.  :)  Before answering the Q&A about Sins of the Fallen, I wanted to thank paranormal romance author Tish Thawer for inviting me to this blog hop. What is the working title of your book? Sins of the Fallen Where did the idea come from for the book? Sins of the Fallen is the third Academy of the Fallen novel.  The idea for the series was inspired by a character from Imprinted Souls who is a vampire/fallen angel hybrid.  I got more and more curious about the part of her that was fallen angel.  I also wanted to create a new world, something that was my own, and that is how the
