Final Redemption.... FINALLY!!
WELL, boys and girls... Final Redemption will be available for purchase on Amazon.com for the kindle August 13th. Thank you all so much for your patience, support, kind words, and encouragement that has gone along with this. It has been a crazy uphill battle.
I had to stop writing for several weeks due to the fact that my grandfather was diagnosed with Leukemia... (which is in complete and full remission btw). And there has been a ton of other things going on, but it's finally here.
Thank you guys for all your patience!

Redemption COVER
HERE IT IS,... THE FINAL COVER... THE BIG REVAL... WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK....
So sad to say goodbye but look what's coming
Well, this is it. The Chosen Series is winding down and coming to an end. Redemption has made it's way into my editor's hands, and in a few short weeks the journey will be over.
I have become close to these characters. I know that sounds weird, but as an author you become close to your characters, especially if they are in more than one book. I have been writing for years and this is the first time I've ever teared up and sobbed as i was writing. I hope i have done the series justice with Redemption .... This series has become very close to me and it is truly like i am saying goodbye for a dear friend.
Just because it is the end of one series does not mean that there will not be another. ;-) I have another one in mind but it is a little ways off in the making. For now, I am going to settle in and do a few crime and mystery books.
For my next project, we'll be slipping back into the beautifully dangerous, steamy, alluring, and sexy little towns of Louisiana. There is a killer on the loose, but he is slippery, perhaps even hiding in plain sight. He watches by day and stalks the nights, terrorizing his victims before they meet their terrible fate. He's got a target in mind, but he enjoys playing cat and mouse with her. Her terror turns him on. He stalks her from the shadows... he watches from outside her window, cloaked in shadows and hugged by the humid night. Are you brave enough to venture into the swamps? Hmmm I'm not sure... Stay tuned and we shall see... ;-)

Random this and That
RISEN IS OFFICIALLY FOR SALE!!!!
FALLEN HAS ALSO BEEN RE-RELEASED WITH BETTER EDITING
I am so excited that I have been granted permission to convert the storage building behind my house into an office/writing get away. It won't be huge but it will be completely perfect! That awesome news takes some of the sting out of the crummy things people do to other people in the world, for instance, buying something, using it, and then returning it. I mean come on people. What if that item you bought was the only way that person was able to feed their kids, or keep their lights on? Sometimes i wonder what happened to the humanity. Are we so jaded that when a person smiles and says hello, we wonder what is their ulterior motive?
You will learn, as you get to know me, I am very close with my family. In fact they inspire several characters. They are my family and best friends. I am blessed to have their love and support in my life. sooo a word of advice... Be nice to people, even if you don't want. If you look at them and flash them your biggest, brightest smile they will get scared and back away because they will wonder what in the world you are plotting. Bahahaha!!!!
On another quick note....
I am going to be starting official work on Redemption next week (hopefully). As much as i would love to do writing full time i am not quite able to. My husband and i own a business, have two children, and i make cakes (in which i am extremely booked for the next FOREVER) but anyhow... I am crazy excited to get started on this one and find out what happens to the "gang" for lack of a better term. To be honest you know what is going to happen to them about as much as i do at this moment. =) I also have been kicking a few ideas around about a new series... i am excited to see if that one will go anywhere =)
I will stop my mad ramblings for the night and find my way to dream land. Until we meet again... Do sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things!!!!

Yay
Thank you all for being so patient. Your emails and kind words are truly amazing. I am currently working FINAL edits for Risen as we speak, and it should be ready to publish next week... I am also re-releasing a professionally edited version of Fallen. I have also started work on the final book in The Chosen Series, called Redemption... Possibly next week, I will be releasing a sample cover of Redemption... not sure if i am going to use it, but just to give you a little visual...
Once Fallen is edited i am going to be entering it into a contest for a chance to at a publishing contract with Penguin books.... SO keep your fingers crossed!!! Thanks again for your support!
Sincerely,
C. James
