Hey friends
I'm getting closer to completing "Lost." Like I said before, I don't want to talk release dates anymore because things come up and plans change. I needed to take a break from writing. And I just needed quiet in my head for a little bit. But I'm back and writing and things are coming along just fine. And since my mojo is back, I plan on putting in major hours for here on out so I can FINALLY get it out.
Anyway, what's new with you all? Are you excited for The Hunger Games? Every time I see a preview, I have to remember to breathe. Isn't it weird that even though you know how a book ends, you're still riveted when you see the movie? LOL. I was like that the entire time during The Deathly Hallows part 2.
Speaking of, what book would you love to see on film?

Errr
Errr...
A post went out that shouldn't have. Ignore it. For the love of everything, I hope you didn't read it... It was super spoilery. Anything in there no longer applies anyway. Anyway, it's been deleted. Forgot to update my posts since "Lost" is still in progress. I'll do my best to give you an update you want to read before Feb is over.
P.S. Check out Ms. Addison Moore's writing if you haven't. She writes so fast and she's funny and talented and I love her. BTW, reading her books isn't what's slowing down "Lost." I have read them all already. So yeah. Be back soon!

I'm a little late on my update
We plan. The universe laughs.
Hi guys! How are you enjoying your 2012 so far?! I hope it's been good. I hope you're sticking to your resolutions and just having a great time so far with your dreams, aspirations and hopes. "Taken" had a great December, so thank you as always!!
Admittedly, I've been taking a much needed break from all things internet for awhile.SO here's the update I promised, and it supersedes any previous posts :
1) I'm unsatisfied with "Lost" as of now, so I'm going to hold onto it for awhile until I feel differently. I'm done giving specific projections of release date just because I hate disappointing everyone continuously. It'll probably be the first book I make available for borrowing through Kindle's new service for self-pubbies.
2) Persephone Prophecy is moving entirely to Smashwords. Most Amazon reviews are on GoodReads so check them out there if you want to see what people are saying.
3) Doing a major website overhaul over the next few weeks so things will look different pretty soon.
That's about it for now. Drop me an email, if you like.

Sick =/
I've been sick and it's affecting the way things need to get done. I have a habit of going non-stop when I need to slow down...it's a thing I do because I like to think I'm invincible. =) So I'm going on hiatus for a little bit...
I'll answer all emails, questions, Good Reads, etc when I'm back up and running. Love you guys! Talk to you soon!

Taken had a big month in November!
You guys are awesome! So last month, you all bought "Taken" like it came with a free iPhone or something.. haha. Okay not a free iPhone, but some candy. That's so amazing!! Thank you so much! And the emails keep pouring in from you all.
"Lost" is coming...I know you guys are waiting and waiting and waiting. And waiting. LOL. I got the funniest email the other day from someone who more or less said they NEEDED to know what happens next.
Oh my G. Too much pressure. Too much pressure ;)

Good Reads email
Hey guys,
Good Reads might've sent out an email saying "Lost" is out. It is not. Sorry; however, it will be before December is over. Many apologies for the delays. Many, many thanks to the lovely and kind emails you send. I love you all, including those of you who demand to know things ;) Soon, friends, soon!

CHAPTER THREE OF LOST
So all three chapters of "Lost" are now available on Google Docs. You can read them all here. Hopefully, it whets your appetite for more =).
Thank you to all of you who take the time to write me, review me and buy my books! Your emails are always sweet and supportive. So anyway, enjoy your Saturday, stop by the Google Doc (but if you're still reading Taken, don't spoil it for yourself!!) if you're interested, and I'll talk to you soon!

CHAPTER ONE OF LOST - COMPLETE
The rest of Chapter 1 is up. It's a rough cut still, but nothing about the story, the content, will change. If you already read the first part, you should start at page 21. There's a big break in the page toward the bottom.
