Riot of Storm and Smoke Cover Reveal and giveaway
Guys. You have no idea JUST HOW LONG I have waited to show this to you. I mean, of course, you could probably guess that I’ve wanted to show it to you since I got it. You probably surmised that I’ve been eager before I even had a cover in hand. After all, my cover artist, Nathalia Suellen, is one brilliant lady. I knew she’d rock this cover just as much as she rocked the Threats of Sky and Sea cover. But guys. My face has been rocked off. I am faceless from Nathalia’s rocking of this cover. And I’ve been waiting to show you since September. ISN’T IT GORGEOUS? You can add Riot of Storm and Smoke to your Goodreads shelves now. And you can enter to win both RIOT and THREATS in paperback (when RIOT is printed;open to US/CA) Visit Rafflecopter to enter the […]
Cover reveal sign-ups and official release date for RIOT OF STORM AND SMOKE
GUYS. I am so very, very, very excited. Because finally, at long last, I’m at a point with Riot of Storm and Smoke that I feel comfortable setting a publication date. It has been far too long since I published Threats of Sky and Sea, and I’m sure you’re all wondering what in the hell happened to Bree and her friends, right? ^_~ Well, the wait isn’t too much longer, because… Riot of Storm and Smoke will be published August 18, 2015! (But you can add it on Goodreads now) Why did it take so long to announce an official release date? The truth is that I’m a slow writer… it takes me a loooong time to even find the story in all of my pantsing-style drafting. But we’re there now, and this is for real. I’ve reserved a slot with my […]
Alternate Titles Game
Hello, hello, my friends! First, a quick reminder that the giveaway for an Audible copy of Threats of Sky and Sea ends soon! Second, I’m here to play the alternate titles game today! Basically, this is a game in which I scroll through my manuscript eight times, stop randomly and choose a line from where I’ve stopped to be an “alternate title.” I played with both Threats of Sky and Sea, which is obviously complete, and Riot of Storm and Smoke, which is obviously not and while some were ridiculous, a couple actually had potential! I know what to do if I’m ever stuck for a title on future projects ^_~ Threats of Sky and Sea My Heart is Dancing a Jig Whispers of Lies How They Found Me Better Alive Than Dead Vain About His Fingernails Shift the Kindling […]
Announcing the Threats of Sky and Sea audiobook!
Okay, first, the bad news: I am entirely unsure when Riot of Storm and Smoke will be available. In retrospect, I should have anticipated it would be longer than my target date of December. Threats of Sky and Sea took me a good year and a half-two years to write, revise, and edit. It was foolish to think that I could whittle the time frame down so drastically for Riot of Storm and Smoke, especially as it still needs to go through editing, formatting, etc., etc. But it is coming. I’ll get you an official date as soon as humanly possible. But let’s get to the good part of this post. Threats of Sky and Sea is coming to a set of earbuds near you! …That is, as February 10, 2015, Threats of Sky and Sea will be an audiobook, narrated by Misty Daugherty! You can […]
NaNoReMo– NOT NaNoWriMo
Yes, you read that right. No, I didn’t mean NaNoWriMo. Well, maybe I did. Kinda. Sorta. You see, I LOVE NaNoWriMo. But this year, it’s just not in the cards for me. Why? Honestly, while chances are slim that I can do it, I’d like to get Riot of Storm and Smoke (Book 2 in the Threats of Sky and Sea series) out to you guys in December. January at the latest. But I’m still revising in order to make it the best book possible, and since I don’t know for sure when I’ll be able to release it, I haven’t scheduled a cover reveal (this cover though… *squeals*), a blog tour, or really… ANYTHING. Because it’s not done enough. It’s not… fully cooked, y’know? It’d be like if I gave you a burger that was cooked rare when you asked for it well-done. THAT […]
Friday Five #2
It’s that time of the week again! Here’s another Friday Five. 1. Since my favorite trainer has left my gym, I’ve been hitting the cardio heavily, and making better use of my secondary gym membership at LA Fitness. I’ve never really been a runner, but I’m pretty proud of the progress I’m making. I’m finishing up Week 4 of the Couch to 5K training method, and getting ready to start Week 5 this weekend! It’s not the first time I’ve utilized the Couch to 5K method, but it’s only the second time that I’ve made it this far. I’m doing the Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving this year and my goal is to actually run it this time! 2. I sent the first three chapters of Riot of Storm and Smoke to two of my critique partners yesterday! I was excited, […]
Friday Five #1
In an effort to keep this blog updated, I’m going to attempt to keep up with a weekly “Friday Five” list! 1. On Monday, I had Canadian Thanksgiving (Yes, I live in this U.S. Yes, it was technically for Columbus Day. No, I don’t think Columbus deserves a holiday.) off of work, so I went to the beach for a couple of hours with friends and my sunburn is only very mild. (I promise I wore sunscreen.) 2. We’re having our second “snap” of cold this season in South Florida right now! I’m pretty excited to be able to wear the boots and sweaters that I’m unable to stop myself from buying and only be SLIGHTLY ridiculous, as opposed to FULLY ridiculous. 3. I discovered this song (“Geronimo” by Sheppard) via a Blogilates Instagram video this week and I have been […]
