GIVEAWAY of Doppelganger 2: On the Run!

The doppelgangers are coming! GIVEAWAY of a signed paperback of Doppelganger 2: On the Run on Goodreads! The contest is open to multiple countries, so even if you're outside the U.S.A. check it out! It runs from May 31st - June 28th, 2014.

About Doppelganger 2: On the Run:

Citrus Leahy is on the run from doppelgangers! Now she and a group of teenagers whose lives have also been taken over have to figure out how to stay hidden. The doppelgangers could be anywhere or anyone. Her crush Aedan makes her feel safe except that he keeps reminding her of the guy she left behind...his doppelganger! Citrus also can't forget that the doppelgangers have her mother, but she has no idea how to save her when their group is barely saving themselves. It seems like the doppelgangers are always hot on their trail and there's danger around every corner, maybe even from within.

It is currently for presale at a discounted price of $0.99 on:  Itunes | Barnes and Noble | Smashwords

My Writing Process (With Pictures!)

Little Milda writes. I started young.



Thanks to Christina Daley for tagging me in this awesome blog hop (and find her on Twitter  @cdaleywrite ). 

Now for the Q&A: 

What am I working on?

Um...surviving twins!

My baby twins love to dance the night away...aka wake me up every chance they get!
Lol! And while that's true enough I am writing every spare minute I find! Appropriately, I just wrapped up a paranormal romance/ scifi romance book Doppelganger 2: On The Run which is available now for pre-order on iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and Kobo for a discounted price of $0.99. I am still doing a little work on alternate scenes from Aedan's and Doppel-Aedan's POV from that series to put in a final collection of the trilogy.


So excited to finally release Doppelganger 2! Otherwise, I'm also writing two other books. I'm outlining Doppelganger 3. I normally don't outline since I'm a pantser (write by the seat of my pants!), but the Doppelganger series is so intricate that I think an outline will help me keep it straight. I'm also adding to a novel I wrote a few years ago for the 3 Day Novel Contest.  I'm tentatively calling it Crashing Prom and it's a new adult Romantic Comedy/ Chick Lit book, but it will probably be called something a little different eventually since I already have a YA book called Adventures in Funeral Crashing . The general idea: A twenty something year old girl gets dumped and decides that regrets aren't worth it. So, she faces her biggest regret, which was not going to prom in high school...and it goes from there! 

How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Well, my genres are all over the place, but I tend to write about topics that aren't overwritten like funeral crashing and doppelgangers.


The only other funeral crashing story I can think of might be Harold and Maude and that's a movie.I like having an interesting twist to my books. It's usually what makes me want to write a novel. So, yeah, I grab that one interesting thing and write away!  

Why do I write what I do?

I write what inspires me and what I read. I've always loved YA horror and mystery, so I write those. I also love chick lit, so many of my characters tend to have a chick lit voice and there's always romance in my books.


I love love. Sigh. Romance.
How does your writing process work?

Well, it starts with coffee...

Lots and lots and lots of coffee.
Then I turn on my computer, stare at it, and then I procrastinate on the internet because I don't know what to write next.




Internet surfing rocks as a procrastination method!!!!
And finally, I start writing and try and type away for as long as I can. I'm a pantser for the most part (although I do have plot points I'm trying to hit), so I just write, write, write! Then when I get stuck, I procrastinate again (eat lunch, play with dog, call friends, the options are endless!) and the circle continues.

And that's my writing process! Now, meet another writer!

EXCERPT from DOPPELGANGER 2: ON THE RUN

My mind went back to Aedan, the doppelganger. He and Finn looked so alike. I had to shake that kiss off. It didn't mean anything. I'd never see Aedan again. That was a good thing. I had to believe that. He was with the doppelgangers after all and I never wanted to see them again. Still, it wasn't so easy to forget that kiss. I knew it had only been a day, but I could almost still feel his lips on mine. My stomach did flips at the thought. I squashed them. I just had to remember that he and Finn were not one and the same. Aedan was a doppelganger. He was not my crush. Not really. Finn was the guy I liked and as much as I hated to admit it, I barely knew Finn. Most importantly, Finn and I would never share a kiss. He had a girlfriend. Sure, he might never see her again, but that didn't matter at the moment.
            I turned the radio up a little louder. It was a song by Lady Gaga and I liked it. I also needed to be distracted from my thoughts. I started singing along to the song in my head. There was no way I was going to sing out loud and embarrass myself in front of the others, but I needed something to make me stop thinking about Finn and Aedan and doppelgangers. The doppelgangers. My hands started shaking again. I tried to regain control. I could not think about them. Well, I couldn't not think about them either, but I could try to distract myself. It was better that I think about Aedan and Finn or better yet Lady Gaga and the song on the radio.
            I stared ahead at the road. The song changed. I didn't know the song so I couldn't sing along. I forced myself to listen to the words as a distraction. It was a love song. I tried not to look back at Finn. I focused on the road. It was never ending. I looked at the clock. Two hours left driving. I could make it. The song changed to one I knew. I sang along to the song on the radio under my breath. Stay awake. Stay awake. Stay awake and don't think about doppelgangers.
            That was when I saw the flashing red lights behind me. Adrenaline flooded my body. Suddenly being awake wasn't a problem.

To cap it all off, when Citrus finally makes it to class, she sees herself already inside. Wait. What? Citrus Leahy has a doppelganger! It's probably aliens taking over the world and her life has just turned totally upside down. Goodbye, normal. Hello, paranormal! Luckily, her crush Aedan has the exact same problem! 

See you next week with more Doppelganger 2 info!

Happy New Year 2014!

Happy New Year 2014! 

And with the new year comes new year resolutions and goals! 2013 was a crazy year for me. For the most part it was crazy because I became a mom...to twins! Because of that I didn't write as much because it was an exhausting, insane ride.  I'll admit that I was quite sad about that. I love writing and it drives me crazy when I don't have the time or energy for it.

That being said my goals for 2014 are lofty! I want to put out tons of books! 

Here are some of the books that you can look forward to in the order that they'll be released this year:

Doppelganger 2 - Yes, it is coming out! I'm still revising it (eternally between twins feedings!), but I am hopeful that it will be out at the beginning of the year! This will definitely be the first book out this year. Citrus and her friends are on the run! It's going to be a wild ride of a book! Crashing Prom - A new adult chicklit book that I'll tell you more about soon!  18 Million - A chicklit YA novel that I'll tell you more about soon! Funeral Crashing 4 - Yes, there will be more Kait Lenox and Ethan Ripley mystery adventures! Want details? You'll have to wait!  Doppelganger 3 - I want to wrap the series up this year. I could tell you what this one's about, but then I might ruin book 2!
I actually have a few more books that I'd also like to write this year. Five is a good start, though! It's going to be an amazing 2014!

Happy new year!
