K.B. Miller's Blog, page 26

The "Welcome Mat" has finally been worn out...

That’s a pretty bold title for a blog post, I know.  However, if you stick with me and read the entire post, you’ll see why it actually fits.  I want to make sure that this post conveys the emotional roller-coaster ride that I’ve been on lately.  I should warn you-- grab some coffee now... this is going to be a long one ;)
Over the course of the past two years, I’ve made a whole host of new friends in the writing community.  I’m so very thankful for that.  I’ve met writers, editors, graphic artists, PR people and the list goes on and on.  I’ve also taken quite a bit of time to learn and hone different skills in the self publishing community and in some cases I’ve even discovered some of my new passions.  Why am I telling you all this?  Well, because of the skills that I've developed and the way that I was raised I reached out a helping hand to anyone and everyone I could.
You see, I had been burned and scammed by two previous publishers, so I had to learn a lot about every aspect of the publishing world.  I needed to be thorough, but fast.  At first, I started helping other authors that had been hurt by publishers-- left with broken dreams of being a writer and little to no hope of achieving that dream.  I had been through that myself and overcame it and I wanted to help others overcome that hurdle.  So, I did.
As time passed others came to me.  I helped them as I had everyone else.  It's in my nature-- who I AM.  All the while I was getting a little behind in my own work.  Some of those I helped would ask, "Kym, are you sure this won't hinder YOUR work?"
Of course, I said no.  I could stay up a little later at night and finish my own work.  No problem.  I felt great inside.  I was able to help people.  (My parents were foster care parents.  Helping others is in my blood.)  Everything was fine.  **Pay attention, here's where the story goes from all rainbows and unicorns to hell in a handbasket ;)**
After a couple of months, some of these authors stopped asking if it would hinder my work.  They didn't care anymore.  They would call me at a moment's notice and ask me to format a book, do a cover, make a graphic, walk them through THEIR story ideas-- I would tell them, "Now's not a good time.  I have a LOT of catching up to do with my own writing.  My fans are getting restless."
Did they care?  No.  They kept talking.  They paid no attention to how they were treating someone they claimed as a friend. OR, was it just the way our society works now? Do for me.  And, screw you!  *Side note, by this point I was pulling my hair in clumps and crying silently. Always keep that tough girl candy coating. All the while your insides are oozing. Yep! That’s me*
Now, this is the part in this story that I should have put my foot down and said... NO!  My work comes first, but... *see how the doormat thing plays into this?*  I didn't.  I continued to help them.  I was never paid.  I never asked for payment.  These were my friends? *yeah, right.*  They got what they wanted and needed from me and walked.  Only bothering to contact me when they were once again in need-- which became FAR too often for me to even take a pee without someone asking me to just wait and pee later...
So, that brings us to today.  I have put the "Closed" sign on my door of helping people.  Those few bad eggs have rotted everything for everyone else.  They've ruined the ease with which I once trusted people.  So, please DON'T send me emails, private messages, instant messages, text messages or anything else asking for my help.  I won't do it.  For that, I'm sorry.  It HONESTLY hurts my heart.  I don’t like NOT helping people. MY family always said I should have been a social worker... (Hmm, new career path, maybe?)
The one constant statement made about Self-Publishing 101 is the genuine care that people see from Jenn and I towards our fans/followers--- know why?  Because, we do.  But, Self-Publishing is the ONLY way I can/will help anyone from this point forward.  This experience cut me so deeply that I seriously considered walking away from writing altogether.  I’m not.  But, I’d be lying if I told you that I hadn’t considered going underground never to be heard from again.  *Aww, you’re stuck with me, LOL*
I don't want sympathy. Please don’t comment on this post, but Kym you’re amazing and etc... but I also don't want people to say, "Well, Kym's a bitch because she won't help!"  You go through what I did and tell me that you would still trust people.  I can't.  So, if you can, then you're a better person than me.  Good luck with that!
Now, I’m headed into the batcave to do something that I haven’t for a very long time! I’m mapping out how I’m going to decorate my new palace during my world domination tour ;)
Love,Kymberlee

My new addiction...

...A&E's, Duck Dynasty I hadn't seen this show prior to three weeks ago, but now... I'm absolutely addicted! I know, I know. What do you mean, Kymberlee? How could you not have heard of this show? It's been talked about everywhere!
It's one of the most popular shows on T.V. at the moment.
Remember, I said I hadn't watched the show, not that I had not heard of this show... big difference. As a matter of fact, quite a few of my friends and family kept trying to persuade me to sit down and give it a go. However, my time is limited and I wanted nothing to do with it. I didn't want to use what little "T.V." time I allow myself spent trying to watch a show about bible toting men and women, guns, camouflage and hunting... totally not my thing. Not one part of that show appealed to me.
With that being said, a few weeks ago I was in bed with my laptop and I was bored. A&E happened to have a day-long marathon of Duck Dynasty's season 3 airing in preparation for the season finale later that night. I flipped through ALL of the channels begging for something that appealed to me. But, there was absolutely nothing on-- Not even the Sham-WOW guy :(  Now, I could have put in a DVD or Blue Ray of something else, but to be completely honest... I was too lazy comfortable to get up. Hey, don't judge!

So, reluctantly I flipped the channel back to A&E. The very first episode that came on was entitled: Duck Season Eve. (Seriously? Like, Christmas Eve... is hunting really that important?) I curled up on my side, thinking that at the very least it would bore me right to sleep. (I could have totally used a nap)
SHOCK... I began laughing. These characters reminded me of my family. Mildly crazy, good-hearted, hunting folk. I paused my live TV, ran downstairs and poured myself a mug of coffee and raced back upstairs and watched some more.
During one of the commercial breaks, I hunted around YouTube for anything and everything on this show, but it wasn't just the show... after only watching 2 full episodes I knew who each member of The Robertson Family was. They felt like... dare I say it? They felt like MY family.
I found this and cracked up again!

Crazy, Uncle Si! We all have one. I was hooked. I have since purchased the previous seasons on DVD, a pink camo hat and t-shirt. I'm looking to buy a duck call. (No. I don't hunt. My ENTIRE family does, but I don't.)
Now... I can hear you out there saying, but Kymberlee... you don't DO religion. How could you possibly like watching this? It's all about God and praying. Well, that's partly true. They do end every episode with a family prayer. And, consider this... my father is a Baptist preacher. My husband and son are active Catholics. I'm around religion all the time. And, actually... I'm thankful for that. I believe in the concept that everyone is entitled to their own opinion-- To each their own and all, ya know? They don't push anything on me and accept me for who am I and what I believe.
I think what has really touched me about this show is the family dynamic. I'm so tired of watching or even worse now that my son is 11 years old-- HIM watching these reality shows following drunk college kids around who sleep with multiple people and puke everywhere, or crazy housewives from different cities that are NOT like any REAL housewife that I know... remember, I AM a housewife. I don't walk around my house wearing insanely expensive clothing scheming to destroy one of my friends lives. I'm usually chugging coffee while dusting, vacuuming, washing dishes, walking dogs, washing/drying and folding laundry, promoting and marketing, having conference calls with; other authors, libraries and convention planners, or planning Self Publishing videos, and begging for just a few peaceful minutes to write.
So, the fact that Duck Dynasty is a show that I can happily snuggle with my son and husband and not fear what curse words will come out of their mouths that he will pick up and repeat at school. The fact that this show encourages people to display a moral compass... I'M IN!! PLUS, it's just absolutely hysterical!!!
So, give it a go! Being a redneck is cool! FYI for this post... my family is originally from Galway, Ireland but settled in Charlottesville, VA until my parents moved to Baltimore, MD. I AM a Redneck Chick from way back, but just hadn't accepted it ;)
As the Robertsons' say when people leave... "I'm gone!"
I can't wait to hear what you guys think! Leave me a comment and share with your friends <3
As always, until next time... Kymberlee, xoxoxo

There's a party going on this weekend! Meet party Host, Linda Foster

 Introducing ..... author Linda Foster!!! An esteemed hostess with the mostest!


Linda's Featured Story is inside: Click here to purchase for $0.99








My name is Linda Foster. I was born and raised in Colorado, where I still live with my (very patient) husband and four (very spoiled) ferrets.  I became an avid reading enthusiast the moment I picked up my first book, and have grown steadily worse with time.  By the time I was 15 years old, my library had become too big for my shelves, and I was forced to donate all of my books to the local school, just to make room for new ones.  I started writing short novellas for my friends in middle school, and expanded into full-length novels several years later. 

Soul Bound  is my first published novel.Though I had my short story Condemned, which is based on the characters in my book, published in the Dark Heart Anthology January 2012. So if January seems like a lifetime away, like it does for me, you can pick up a copy of my short story. You will get to hear Ash’s back story and get a little taste for my writing while you wait for the book. And all proceeds go to charity! Just click on the link below!

Book Proceeds to Charity!  


Now for a little preview of my book… Soul Bound is set for publication January 2014. Ash was just another high school student, intent on living life to the fullest.  Until he sold his soul to a demon to save his sister’s life, and fell in love with a fallen angel.
Kali, on the other hand, had never considered herself normal.  She was, after all, one of the original fallen angels – cast from Heaven in the days before mankind, and cursed to serve a dark master as repentance.  She’s spent thousands of years battling that fate, and trying to regain her soul.
Now the two find themselves bound together by a promise that can’t be broken, tied by a blood vow stronger than life itself.  Kali has unwittingly gained Ash’s soul, and cannot be rid of it by any means available to her.  Ash, on the other hand, cannot escape with his life – or soul – intact.
But there are darker fates than being tied to a demon.  Like being at the top of the Master of Dark’s kill list.  Kali has spent centuries unwillingly serving him, and dreaming of a way out.  Now she’s found it.  It will take an alliance of the fallen angels, and answers to some ancient questions, but the end will mean redemption. Freedom. The chance to go back home.
If they succeed, they become angels once again, and return to light.  If they fail, the entire world fails with them.
Unfortunately, things are rarely that simple.  When Ash gets involved – in the worst ways possible – Kali must defend the blood vow, and finds her path littered with demons, sacred artifacts, confusion … and a love she never saw coming.

Brief description of Purgatory Reign
Seventeen-year-old Peter Saints’ life stinks. But things are about to get much worst. First, his parents are murdered in front of him. Then another victim dies in his arms.
Visions plague Peter with warnings that something wants him for a sinister cause. It desires the one thing that Peter refuses to give – his blood. Peter carries within him the one gift or curse that could unlock a secret to destroy the human race.
On the run with Angel, a girl disguised as a scruffy kid, Peter starts to unravel the mystery. It’s the one treasure the heavens sought to hide from the world. Unfortunately, when Peter finds the answer he hopes that will save them, he opens the door to a great evil that happens to be salivating to meet him.

My Favorite Character While there are many characters I absolutely adore in each of my novels I have a special place in my heart for Diana from the Society of Feathers series. She is the only character that is based off of a real person and out of all of the characters her background story is the most complex. It is revealed slowly over the course of all three books in the trilogy because in so many ways her younger life comes back around full circle and it is a major part of her character development. It has been amazing to write but more than that, the woman I based her character off of is dead and writing Diana has helped me remember her and no longer miss her in the same way because now every time I do I just think about her and continue writing. She was an inspiration to me in her life and even now continued to be a major inspiration to me always. If you would like to find out more about Diana check out the first book in the Society of Feather series Owlet! 



 Somewhere between falling and flying… there is a girl.
Iris has a secret. She lost her memory eight years ago and never told a living soul. After an asthma attack one night she finds out that her dreams of a strange house on a snowy island may be a memory resurfacing but the more she learns about the past the more she realizes the life she has been living is a lie. As the façade her father has built starts to crumble around her she will have to decide which means more to her; the truth or her life. Kindle | Nook | PDF | Smashwords | iBookstore | Google Books

There's a party going on this weekend for LM Preston! Check out host, Doug Solter.

Hello, Everyone! My name is Doug Solter and I'm an indie author who loves writing young adult fiction. I enjoy the genre because of the quick pacing, the fresh point of view, and the flexibility and challenges of writing it. My favorite categories of the genre are contemporary, science fiction, paranormal, and action. My first novel, Skid, is a young adult novel that some could label a “racing” novel. But I've heard from many readers who love the book despite their lack of interest in auto racing. I take great pride in that because one of my goals for the novel was for readers to embrace the teen character and her struggle. Racing was only meant to be the setting for Samantha's tale, not the wall a reader must climb over to appreciate her story. I wanted readers to fall in love with the magic of a girl who had a dream and the will to pursue it.
So today I wanted to give some of you a little insight into Samantha Sutton, the main character of Skid.
1. Samantha is a passionate yet stubborn teen girl with a temper she always struggles to control.2. Her mother hates the fact her daughter races cars. She wants Samantha to go to Junior College since it's much safer.3. Samantha is the middle sister and the only daughter who shared her father's love for racing. He died in a car crash. Samantha vows to make those racing dreams they both shared come true.4. The girl doesn't think about death. It's bad luck to think like that when you're racing a car over 200 miles per hour. Fear can freeze you up and make you lose your edge. And your nerve.5. Her parent's farm is near a small town in Oklahoma. When she travels to Europe to race in Formula 1, Samantha has to adjust to a new world with new pressures, new expectations, and new problems.6. Samantha hides a secret that could rip her family apart. A family that means everything to her.7. Boys and Tomboys can be a tricky mix. When Samantha befriends the nephew of the racing team's owner, she struggles with trying to hold on to a friend who wants to be so much more.8. Samantha loves Amsterdam. The canal boat rides are her favorite. Especially when you can share it with the right boy.9.  Samantha hates it when it rains. Especially when she has to race a car in it.10. She meets her all-time racing hero and must race against him. Samantha finds that heroes can sometimes be the greatest enemies.
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading. Please feel free to say hello on Twitter, visit my website, or shoot me an email. I would love to hear from you!
If you'd like to give Skida spin, you can purchase the ebook on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, ITunes, and Smashwords. Or if you prefer, you can buy the paperback on Indiebound, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon.





More about Skid:
Samantha's racing dreams come true when a struggling Formula 1 team takes a long-shot on a 17-year-old girl racer from Oklahoma who shows unusual promise behind the wheel. But staying on top of the leader board will take every ounce of determination and fire Samantha has to fight for her job and for the world championship. Even if that means confronting the only fear that will keep Samantha from becoming the race car driver she is destined to be.

More about the author:
Growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Doug went to college at nearby Oklahoma State where he earned a B.A. in Radio/TV/Film production. Doug started writing screenplays in 1998 and became a 2001 semi-finalist in The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting for his fifth screenplay, Father Figure. His tenth script, Rail Fan, became a quarter-finalist in 2009. Soon after, Doug made the switch to writing young adult novels. Skid, a young adult novel set in the world of Formula 1 racing, is his first.

Tour Arcadia Falls Blog Stop

I'm proud to host Jennifer Malone Wright's book, Arcadia Falls. Check out my review below and make sure you enter the giveaway :)
BlurbA war is brewing between the hunters and the vampires and Chloe is determined to strike against the vampires before they have a chance to attack the hunter community.
While Chloe tries to convince the hunter community, and most especially tries to convince Drew, that they should move against the vampires first instead of waiting for an attack, the group of new friends—Oscar, Alice, Drew, Chloe and Christina—are distracted by news reports of a vigilante who is saving innocent humans against what can only be vampire attacks. Fearing this vigilante will cause unwanted attention that will expose the vampire-hunter community with each person he rescues, the group attempts to discover who this mysterious potential vampire hunter is.
When they catch up with him, the group learns a shocking revelation that might just change everything for everyone in Arcadia Falls, but will have the most profound impact on Chloe herself.
The Arcadia Falls Chronicles is the continuation of The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter. Following the format of The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter, The Arcadia Falls Chronicles is serialized into several novella-length stories.
Jennifer Malone Wright Jennifer Malone Wright is best known for her short story series, The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter. Other works include the follow up to The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter series called The Arcadia Falls Chronicles and her vampire novel called The Birth of Jaiden. Jennifer also co-authors a series called Once Upon A Zombie Apocalypse as well as another project which hasn’t been announced yet.
She resides in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho with her husband and five children where she practices preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Just kidding!
But seriously, between the craziness of taking care of her children, Jennifer has little time left for herself. The time she does have left, usually leading far into the night, is spent working on her beloved fiction or chatting with her equally crazy friends.
Jennifer also loves coffee, has a passionate affair with red bull, wishes the sushi were better where she lives and dances while she cleans.
My Review 5 OwlsI became a fan of The Vampire Hunter's Daughter after reading the first part for FREE from Amazon. It's still FREE by the way. But, I digress... okay, back to the review :) Chloe reeled me in from the beginning and she has carried me with her smack dab into Arcadia Falls! 
Jennifer has done an absolutely AH-mazing job of bringing her characters life. I was able to connect with this fun band of teenagers. The story picks up where we left off in The Vampire Hunter's Daughter and takes us to Arcadia Falls. (I want to live there, btw) These installments are longer than the previous ones and with good reason. More action ensues, but now that Chloe is getting older... the Drew-Chloe love story begins to REALLY unfold! BRAVO Jennifer!! I cannot WAIT for Taking Talon!!! I recommend this series to the YA/NA crowd and EVERYONE that loves vampires/hunters :) Stalker Links Facebook Twitter Goodreads Blog Website Purchase Links

Blog Post:The Meanest Character You ever wrote
Introducing Gavin Steele , he's the #1 villain in my 2013 new series PURGATORY REIGN
He's the most evil, conniving, slightly deranged character I've ever created. And he scares me. I'm going to share just a taste of what happens when he comes on the scene.
Note: this isn't the final edited excerpt from Purgatory Reign
Gavin knew from experience he’d only have a short time to get his answer before the greedy one would consume the spirit in which it hid and demand the price. “The name of the one who can stop me, the one I should remove from the equation,” he demanded from the psychic.
She hissed, and her white pupils turned on him. “Peter. Peter Saints.”
Her body jerked from side to side in an attempt to fight her way free of an invisible force, but it was too late, the price would be paid. For one moment, shock and fear laced her expression before she slumped to the floor, permanently silenced. He slipped his hands into his pocket, pulling out rubber gloves and a knife that he calmly unfolded. For a brief moment he stared in space while in thought.
“Peter. Peter Saints.” the sound of the name left a foul taste on his tongue.
Shrugging off his jacket, he grinned. Messes, he hated to leave messes. And tonight, like all the other nights, he’d clean it up.
