You're the One excerpt & other bits
Yes! Finally got the excerpt up on the website - just had to make sure first that I had the editing right *wink*.
This is the link for anyone interested:

Okay, so since this is now all done, I have had a few days of intense DVD watching. I've watched the entire first season of Z Nation, the entire first season of Warehouse 13, and the entire season 4 of Falling Skies. To top it all off, I also watched a couple of rental DVDs. In-between, I've read my little head off. YES! Has been a great week. Except for...
wait for it...
being off work with a nasty head cold.
Yes! Can you believe it? Finally finished all the book editing and then came down with a head cold. Didn't stop me reading though - no way. I just wiped my eyes, had the little bin and a box of tissues beside me, and kept on going.
Now this is the thing. My mother always tells me to go to sleep, to rest. I can't lie there and look at the back of my eyelids unless I am REALLY REALLY sick. Otherwise I basically get bored out of my brain. I have to read or watch TV, I can't lie there. So that's what I did, curled up with my books and sniffled and coughed and read. So it wasn't all bad!
Feeling heaps better, still on cold tablets but forging on to work tomorrow. Gotta get up and go go go! (though I hate the 6am rising time...I rise, I don't shine, let me give you the tip)
I work all day tomorrow, then Tuesday have an early shift, so Tuesday afternoon I will be plotting the next book. My play time is over!!! Never mind, have some ideas that I will map out then it's the start of the next book.
Currently, at this time, book 6 will be the last in the Gully's Fall series. I have been asked if Jason will appear in the Gully's Fall series, but no, I don't plan for that to happen. Jason, I feel, has moved on and started a new life, so his story will take place elsewhere. Do I have ideas for his story? A couple which I have jotted down and filed away for when the time has come for his book.
But meanwhile, there is a hunky vet to write about - oops, did I let that slip out????

Luke's Book Buying Links & other things
Firstly, as promised, just to let you know pre-orders for Luke's story are available at Amazon, iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and All Romance eBooks. I have no idea how to do the links here without posting the whole spiel for each website, so all I can offer is that the links are on my website www.angelaverdenius.com if you want them.
Now that I've finished the editing and am simply waiting for release day, I have had my usual 2 weeks off from writing (one week left now) and I have binged on watching DVDs on my days off from the hospital! And I mean BINGED! I have already watched the complete Season 4 of Grimm, Season 1 of Dominion, complete series of South of Hell, as well as watching 3 horror movies in one afternoon (that'd be last Friday, people). I still have the complete series of 2 Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place to watch, and about 6 seasons of Rules of Engagement. Doubt very much I'll get those all watched before the end of this week coming, as I still have to work the day job, but I will get to watch some of them! I've never seen 2 Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place, but it has Ryan Reynolds in it and as he's a hunk, I am so there, baby!
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is out, too, and I'm thinking...should I buy the DVD or rent it?! Decisions, decisions! Renting is probably the cheapest option, as I've just paid the plumber's bill (there went my left kidney). But it's...you know...zombies!!!!!!!
Been working my way through the Nightside series on my kindle, think there's only one book left in the series. Devastation! I love binging on a great series, but when it's over, I'm left looking around going...what now? (whimper) Never mind, there's heaps of awesome books still to read! I'm sure I can find something in my 800+ books on my kindle, right? *sheepish expression*
Okay, better stop here. I have to get ready for work soon, Got to keep the cats in the comfort to which they've become accustomed. Have a great Sunday, everyone, I'll catch you later!

Checking In!
So, just checking in with everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, whether it was busy with family and friends, or quiet and restful. Mum and I and the furries had a quiet Christmas - ate too much, watched TV & DVDs, read, went for a couple of walks. Very restful!
Can I just add, for those who have a DVD or book at the bottom of the TBR pile, that that book or DVD may just turn out to be awesome? I had pushed The Chronicles of Shannarah TV series to the bottom of the TBWatched DVD pile and pulled it out in a fit of not-knowing-what-to-watch, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This has happened to me with books I've shoved to the bottom of the TBR pile only to find, when I've finally picked it up to read, that's it's the Best Book Ever and I've had to go and gradually buy the back-list! So just a little hint, my dear friends.
So saying, I'm having a wonderful time reading the Tomes of Bill. Also spending some of my holidays playing with new program concepts for book covers, playing with box set covers, cruising the internet looking at weird and wonderful things (especially on You Tube) and thinking about TWD S7 which is coming in the New Year. About Oct. Long way away. Okay, not wanting to think about that so much anymore ;-)
Anyway, hope you're all feeling rested after Christmas!
cheers!!
