7th Blog Update 7/5/2020
Hi guys! Hope you all have been doing well.
Wow. So its been a little while since I've last been on in April doing a blog post. So much has happened in the world since then.
Pandemic still underway with a new threat of a second wave rolling around. My heart goes out to all those lives lost and the families in mourning, but know that God is taking care of them all just as He takes care of us <3
I send thoughts and prayers across the globe to everyone, and know that the more we turn to God during this time, the sooner He will heal our lands.
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV - "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit”
Remember these two Scripture verses during these rough times. God will surely see us through.

An update on my writing...
On June 30th, 2020 my first short story piece called "The Unseen Protector" was published in an anthology collection about heroic women called "Fight the Night". It's available on digital for free and hopefully will be a hard copy or two for a limited time only! So make sure to snatch it up, along with other authors of the series; Angela Kulig, Angela Sanders, April Caravan, and more! Over 700 pages worth of short stories to fall in love with <3
With Angela Kulig, I entered another short story piece in her upcoming Halloween collection that has not received a title as of yet. My short story piece is the first few chapters of a novel called, "Shifter: A Were-Cat's Tail". That'll be available on September 1st, 2020!
My other short story piece called, "Star Blood" featuring hot sexy aliens is coming to Earth on Amazon on August 29th, 2020! The anthology collection is called "Stolen & Seduced" for a limited time only!
And then finally, in October 2020, my novel "Tame, She Must" will be releasing on the 9th! It's a novel set in the Never After Tales series that you can find the other authors on there today.
*****
Currently working on writing: Twisted Pages #3 novel, "Beauty & the Lantern".
&
"The Genie's Curse" the unofficial sequel to "The Beastly King".
***********
Editing/Copyright stages:
The sequel to "Tattooed by His Mark": "Rebelling His Tattoo" and the third novel in the saga, "Escaping His Tattoo"

6th Update Blog 4/3/2020
Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this pandemic. But have no fear, because God will wipe and cleanse the lands all over the world of this coronavirus!
On a side note, finished writing my short story piece, "The Unseen Protector" and as of right now, it's due to still be released in an anthology collection, "Fight the Night". It'll still be released on May 19th, 2020.
I finished writing "Tame, She Must" my Never After Tale novel, and that story is currently being read by a few Beta/ARC reader friends of mine. :) Hopefully it'll be ready for publishing on October 9th, 2020 still.
On a different matter; my next writing project to finish is writing the third novel to the A Wolf's Mark Saga. "Escaping His Tattoo".
And then working on the prequel to "Tame, She Must" called "Rage, He Will" before following "Tame, She Must" with a sequel, possibly a third in the mix. (I haven't decided yet).
************
I got some beautiful new covers that I cannot wait to share with everyone!
Stay safe out there everyone! This virus will soon come to pass. Just keep praying and praising God for everything going right and wrong!

5th Update Blog 3/14/2020
Jeez, where to begin?
The coronavirus is affecting the entire globe. I hope everyone is faring well!
I pray to God that the virus will be squashed like the enemies under our feet and that God will shield us with His everlasting light and love.

Among other things...
My short story piece, "The Unseen Protector" is currently being edited, and in it's second round of edits as of this very moment in time. It is set to release in an anthology collection called, "Fight the Night" and that as of right now releases May 19th, 2020.
Only have 6 more chapters left to write in my fairy tale novel that I'm writing with 30+ authors in a series, Never After Tales. "Tame, She Must" is an urban dark fantasy retelling of The Jungle Book. And that will be releasing October 9th, 2020. Preorders will be hopefully up in September!
Second round of editing is being done on "Tattooed by His Mark" sequel, "Rebelling His Tattoo" (the editor I had help for this has been taking her time and it's been a year now. So I'm glad to have found a different editor.) I plan to get help editing once "Tame, She Must" is done and out of the way. I'm hoping to have "Rebelling His Tattoo" published by end of this year or into next year 2021. Just will depend on Library of Congress.
And finally, got two new beautiful covers of two stories that I plan to rewrite and hope to have published in a year or so!
Here are the links and you can read it for free on Wattpad while they are up:
"The Wolf Savior" https://www.wattpad.com/story/9821755...
and
"Beloved of Land & Sea" (Ocean Turmoil Book 1) https://www.wattpad.com/story/2147389...
Hope you love the covers just as much as I do! <3
Anyhow, that's all the updates I can give for writing wise. Health wise is a whole other ball park.
At the end of Feb. I thought I was showing symptoms of a heart attack. Went to the ER and they told me it was due to a panic attack. So long story short, my body has been reacting differently with panic attacks then normal.
Then on top of that, somebody in our apartment is smoking weed so badly that a couple of days ago, I had to leave my apartment because I couldn't breathe. It felt as if I were drowning. My chest got so tight. >.< It didn't help that my husband and I have spotted mold on our windows and the landlord lady says there isn't much she can do until they can replace the windows.
Our best option would be to move upstairs two floors to get away from the mold, but it costs more and the weed can travel. So it's in God's hands for now >.<
Anyways, that's the update.

3rd Update Blog 1/25/2020
For the title of this post, I almost had put 2019. Whew! Hard to believe already that it is 2020.
So much happened in 2019. What happened during the past year to you? Something good, something bad?
Mine was getting married in May. Finding our first apartment in November. Celebrating our first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs. Published three books in under four months, separately of course. Found out that I would be writing a novel in a Fairy Tale Retelling series with 40+ authors.

https://www.amazon.com/Sunset-She-Fig...
Book 3: "Gold, She Spins" by Avery Maitland
https://www.amazon.com/Gold-She-Spins...
Book 4: "Never, She Lands" by Jax Garren
https://www.amazon.com/Never-She-Land...
Book 5: "Fated, She Flies" by Brea Viragh

More books to follow of Never After Tales series :)
Mine is called, "Tame, She Must" and my novel will be released in October 2020. I'm currently working on still writing the novel and I'm 3/4 of the way done!
*******
On a side note, how's the weather, wherever your living? State wise or country wise?
Currently, it's bleak, cold, and snow is falling but thankfully not sticking. I'm so over winter and ready for spring.

2nd Update Blog 1/18/2020
Books are my life. Without them, I have no way of escaping to other worlds; other realms to allow myself the creative escape that I so desperately need.
In 3rd grade, for March's Reading Month, I despised reading at that age. Couldn't stand it at all.
Now, I'm grateful to Mrs. Smith for giving me the passion to read and the opportunity to become an Author.
It definitely hasn't been easy. And in my younger years of school, teachers were afraid for me because of the horror stories I would write. My mother ended up having to be in the Principal's office because they were concerned about my well-being.
Since then; I've decided to let my stories become my passion and I find the littlest things in life that inspire me to write more.
