THE GUNSLINGER by Stephen King

In the first book of this brilliant series, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, The Last Gunslinger.
I can't believe it's taken me so long to get started on The Dark Tower adventure, but I'm glad I'm finally on my way.

After reading this book, I can't wait to see what happens to Roland... because the mystery didn't exactly end with the book. :)
I've now got more questions than I did when I began the story--lol. Still, I was totally...

Wishing you a Happy Easter!

I'm going to celebrate with this...
Oh, yeah!

It's THORsday!

[image error] Ah, yes, today is the official release date of THOR in Australia. Not to forget that Thursday was actually named after Thor, too. :) Awesome.
Can't wait to watch it tomorrow! Almost time...
In one week, my daughter goes back to school, which means I'll once again be able to set real writing goals for myself. The next five days will be cool, because hubby's home and doesn't go back to work until Wednesday. Yay. That then gives me one more day of shuffling things around before she goes back...

Hello, new week!

<---Do you see this picture? I'm super excited because on Friday, we're finally going to see the THOR movie. I. Can't. Wait.
I've been a Thor fan for many years now, so to finally see him on the big screen is going to be awesome! Although, I have to admit that when I first heard they were making this movie, I was a little concerned about the casting. Well, I shouldn't have. The actor they picked--Aussie, Chris Hemsworth--looks the part. Actually, he looks amazing!

I think I'll post Thor pics a...

And this cover makes three!

Okay, I'm going to start the week with my newest cover:

Once again, it was made by the very talented and brilliant Dawné Dominique, who totally gets my cover visions spot-in all the time! She's (seriously) amazing. I love getting new covers, and this one certainly surpassed my expectations!
RELENTLESS is the first novella in my upcoming Alyce Kerr Novella series.
That's right! The Alyce Kerr, Faith Healer Trilogy... ...might be finished, but Alyce's story continues.
Actually, as I mentioned a...

SKULLS by Tim Marquitz

Life held little interest for Jacob…until he found death.
Abused and neglected, Jacob's only solace comes when he is alone in the woods or in the arms of his new girlfriend. But when he stumbles across a hidden bunker filled with human skulls, he learns what true suffering is. Drawn to examine the skulls, he finds there is more than just empty blackness behind their lifeless stares. Through their eyes he watches them die.
With every glance, he witnesses another murder, the memories of the dead...

The End of a Busy-busy Week

Man, the first week of my daughter's school holidays is almost over. And it's been a super busy one. Phew!
This morning, I managed to get to the end of the first round of edits for Alex Wales: PROMISE. It's now done and emailed to my editor. Two more rounds to go. ;)
The very cool and exciting thing I found during this edit was getting caught up in Alex and Damon's story. Theirs is a very unconventional romance story that'll be filled with quite a few obstacles before they can find any real...

OMGosh!

[image error] Things are totally insane around here at the moment! Between the new Blogger setup I've been working on, having my daughter at home because it's school holidays, and now edits... I haven't had a spare minute all week!
Yikes.
Still, I'm not really complaining. I'm having a great time with this edit. It's the first round of edits for Alex Wales: PROMISE, which will be released from Eternal Press in June. I got started early this morning and reached page 97/241. Think I'll stop there today. Phew. ...

I have another new cover!

That's right. To celebrate my new website-slash-blog design, I've decided to share another beautiful cover I received recently:

Isn't it gorgeous? Dawné Dominique made it for me, and I absolutely love it! Not only is the cover model pic exactly how I pictured Iris, but I love how she's blended the city buildings with all that green. It's (very) relevant to the story. :)
Here's the unedited blurb:
In Nexus City, the rain is deadly…
When Iris wakes up naked, alone and surrounded by dead bodies...
