Many of you were here for last week’s discussion regarding What Makes a Real Writer? When we decide to become professional writers, we have a lot of work ahead of us and sadly, most will not make the cut.

I know it’s a grossly inaccurate movie, but I love G.I. Jane. I recall a scene during Hell Week (the first evolution of S.E.A.L. training) where Master Chief has everyone doing butterfly kicks in the rain. He yells at the recruits to look to their left and look to their right, that statistically, those people will quit.

Who will be the first to ring that bell? Who will be the first to quit?

Years ago, one of my mentors mentioned The 5% Rule. What’s The 5% Rule? So happy you asked. Statistically, only 5% of the population is…

COVER REVEAL!!!

I’m excited to reveal the first two covers in THE SEEKER SERIES!

Book 2, DREAMER, continues the adventure, as Jack and Ally try to come to terms with their new romance in the midst of Ally’s terrifying dreams of being kidnapped. It wouldn’t be so bad if her dreams didn’t have a nasty habit of coming true. Release date: June 9

How do you disguise a fluffy blue alien in Victorian England? How do you stop your evil headmaster from ruining your exam grades? How do you live down the humiliation of your whole year group thinking you have a teddy bear in your rucksack? Join Eric as he searches for the answers in the next Eshlan adventure.

The quest continues with Eric, Corbin, Rose and Lydia trying to release the next prince from the Bel-Arayba cave. The four friends have some tough decisions to make while looking for the second stone in 1842, and things are getting pretty tricky in their own time too as Lowick Bradwar, masquerading as their head teacher, steps up his plans to get back to Eshla.

Meanwhile in Eshla itself, things are far from peaceful, as the malicious Galed continues her campaign against the…

Feels Like Rain Release Blitz

What

if the feelings you felt were never your own?

Jet is different. Able to

feel the emotions of those around him, he chooses to spend his days in

solitude, pushing out the feelings that attempt to consume him. With numbness

his only relief, he’s surprised when he finds himself letting someone in,

actually wanting—craving—to feel what

she feels.
Even though he was warned

to stay away from Kalista LaFontain, Jet didn’t listen, not caring what family

she came from, knowing she wasn’t like them. Somehow, she was able to make the

emotions that assaulted him on a daily basis more bearable, a pleasant contrast

to his usual numbness. He didn’t care how powerful or hated her family was;

he’d risk it.

Little

did he know, that risk would change his life forever.

After writing the FOR ALWAYS series, there was one more character (who is introduced at the very, very end of the last book) who kept yelling at Janae to tell his story, which led her to write “Feels Like Rain”. Even though this novel is a stand-alone and can be read independently from the FOR ALWAYS series, Janae recommends you read the FOR ALWAYS series first, if you plan on reading it at all , due to possible spoilers you might encounter by reading FLR first.
Book one in the FOR ALWAYS series can be downloaded HERE

(Currently free in the US)

Janae Mitchell is the author of “Feels Like Rain”, as well as “For Always“, “For Now“, and “For Eternity“. She’s also written a couple of spooky novellas titled “Haunted” and “Unleashed“.

Special Feature: Ticket to Love

Please take a minute to check out this new release by my friend, Lacey Wolfe.

TickettoLove_Amazon

Ticket To Love

By Lacey Wolfe

Genre: Sensual Contemporary Romance

When Evelyn Parker turns thirty-five, she isn’t happy, life seems to be ticking past her…

By now, she wanted to be married, and have kids, the same life all of her friends have. Then she receives a birthday gift that changes her whole life—a winning lottery ticket.

Brad Turner has lived next door to Evelyn for years…

His life’s been boring since his divorce—just the way he likes it.

He’s a personal trainer who likes to keep to himself, and not one for mingling with his neighbors, until one evening when Eve bangs on his door.

Suddenly the quiet girl next door grabs his attention. Who is this mysterious woman with no job that spends money without a second thought?

Before long, Eve and Brad find themselves tangled up in each other’s life and Eve’s pesky neighbor seems to think he gets to have a say on how she’s living hers. One moment they are fighting and the next they’re kissing.

With Brad’s obsession about money and Evelyn’s hiding her millions from him, soon they will find out money really can’t buy happiness…

Excerpt:

“I’m seriously depressing myself.” She picked up her glass of sweet tea and left the kitchen.

She was bored already. A girl could only drive around the block so many times before even that was no longer fun. She could go outside and do yard work. With the leaves starting to fall, she needed to get that under control or else dry, brown leaves would take over her yard the way they did every year.

She walked out to her porch and spotted Brad by the walnut tree, picking up the fallen nuts that drove her insane. Normally she’d speak to him, but instead, she slowly backed toward the door. She had a hard time breaking her gaze from his biceps. Staring at his ass, she darted her tongue out to moisten her lips. He slowly squatted, his shirt lifting in the back, and she caught a glimpse of the top of his boxers.

A shiver went through her as her nipples hardened. Oh no, no, no, no. She was not getting turned on by this guy. She hadn’t spoken a word to him since he’d gone all weird on her that evening after their drive. She couldn’t figure out why he’d acted like that, getting pissy about how she spent her money.

As she took the next step back, her foot hit something round and wobbly. She flailed out her arms to grab a hold of something, but all her hands found was air and her butt hit the hard, wooden porch with a loud thud. Her cheeks burned, and she was pretty certain a curse word flew out.

“You okay?” Brad called.

Well, there went her sneaking back in without him knowing she’d come out. “Yup.”

The crunching of leaves and sticks let her know he approached. She glanced up, and her mouth dropped open. Damn, when did he get so smokin’ hot? A tight black T-shirt hugged his chest and thick biceps. And was that a tattoo peeking out of his shirt sleeve? Next time he was outside shirtless, she’d have to pay more attention.

Was she drooling?

He brushed his dark hair from his eyes. “Need help?”

Yes, she’d lost her mind.
