This is #happening (hella #art, #photography)

The team has finally come together, and made final decisions regarding the cover art, back and front, and all around. All original images by the wonderful photographer, R.Iwaskiw.

The proofs are on order, and should be delivered by the 1 year anniversary (or should I say birthday?) of The Spark That Left Us.

Your very own paperback should be available shortly after that.

It’s been a whirlwind, and I will admit, the clicking of the final submission of the book process was emotional.

Who knew that it would be so hard, to finally let go, to say, yes, you, be free?

Check out our final artwork here, and give R.Iwaskiw some love, won’t you?

So apparently, my brain has decided already that a sequel is in order.

I didn’t ask for it, but it won’t go away.

I’m certainly not ready for a sequel, and I’m certain the reading audience is not ready for a sequel.

But here it is, 2500 words later, and I am flailing against it.

If The Spark That Left Us had been a raging success, maybe I would be all for this.

Because I am not picturing this as ‘trying again’. I’m seeing it as finishing the story.

 

And is that enough, for the fans?

Common names #ageofadaline #ebook

So here I was, thinking how wonderful and unique the name Adeline was – and now there’s a movie with a pretty close name.

Oh well.

At least Reggie and Clara can never live down the wonderful Reginald and Ella-Clara their mother insists on calling them.

But it would be better if she called them nothing at all.

Reggie #avengers #ebook #writing

Since I’ve always, since day one, believed that Aaron Taylor-Johnson made a perfect, wonderful Reggie, I’m sharing the new Avengers trailer. Because reasons. Let me know if you agree with my vision of Reggie in the comments!

 

Thinking about new #coverart

The back cover make get an over haul, based on the presence we felt today at an old cemetery.  Here’s hoping we brought no lost souls home with us…

Where do we go from here? #omwf #amwriting

That’s the question that has been running rampant in my brain.

Where do we go from here?

Aside from being the stunning finale to Once More With Feeling, what more can I do to push, promote, and populate the fields that The Spark That Left Us inhabits?

What do the readers want? What do the readers need? Who are the readers?

Do you want more information? Do you want more back story? Is there a character you love? A character you hate – does something irk you?

I feel almost desperate for feedback sometimes, and sometimes I am afraid of it.

Challenge me as an author – I am here for you.

Blurb #1

What would you do, if you found a stranger in your house?

Would you run? Would you scream? Would you call the police?

Now, what would you do if his first act, after invading your home, your space, your privacy – was to protect you from the unknown?

What would you do, if you found out your sister, your brother, all the family you had in the world, were involved?

What would you do -

if you couldn’t remember that you were involved too?

 

Blurb #2

A horrible disaster,  a family torn apart, a stranger arriving…

She didn’t know, upon waking, that her world had changed, and that the stranger in her house wasn’t just introducing her to a world unknown.

He was introducing her to her own truths.

He didn’t know, when he followed her sister home and climbed into their window, that the woman in the house wasn’t just important.

She was the key to saving his life.

Together, they embark on an adventure that tests the

bonds of family, friendship, truth and death.

And the distance we are willing to go for love.
