Holy Smokes! The Cataclysm Cover Reveal is here!! + Giveaway

Guess what, guys???  The Cataclysm cover reveal has begun!!!  I hope you can check it out on one of the great blogs below!!  The official cover reveal is scheduled for March 19th, but I happen to know that a few of them have it up now, because it is officially midnight somewhere.    A big thank you to Julie at AToMr for organizing the cover reveal for Cataclysm.  She's the best. A Tale of Many Reviews  Thank you to all of the wonderful blogs who are participating too!!!  Yay!  



I will post the cover here as well, once all of the blogs have a chance to participate.  I'm so excited for the release of the third installment of The Watchers Trilogy, and I hope you all love it. I had such a fun experience while writing it.  



I feel so lucky to have had so much wonderful support from you and I wanted to say thanks! It means so much to me to get to hear from you.  It has taken this entire trilogy to another level for me.  I know the books might not be for everyone and that's okay too, but thank you regardless.   



When I first started writing The Watchers Trilogy, I was so hopeful that a few of you might find my book and enjoy learning about the characters and their adventures along with me.  It was something I hoped for every minute of every day, actually.  Well, I still get so excited every time I hear from a reader who enjoyed reading one of the stories, and I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate the support that you've given me along the way.  It lights up my day when I get to open up an email or I see a FB post, so thank you everybody!  



I also wanted to give a shout out to an amazingly awesome blog over at Ravelin's sanctuary Book Blog ! It is great!!  She reviews mainly Adult and YA Paranormal Romance and has read and reviewed a ton of great books!!  Love her reviews!!!  She's currently posted a review of Pure by Jennifer Armentrout.  Go check it out if you can...



So back to the cover reveal for Cataclysm!!  In the spirit of the reveal and to celebrate the upcoming release, I am hosting a giveaway for a signed copy of Cataclysm, along with some fun swag, and a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card.  This giveaway will be running the entire month of April and is open (int).



Thanks everybody!!  Good Luck!!

New Cover & Series reveal coming soon!

Hope you guys are all doing great!  I had so much fun reading all the comments from the last couple of blog hops I got to take part in!  So awesome!!  I got some great responses on the Follower Love Blog Hop question that I asked which was, "How long would you be willing to wait for love?" 
The majority swept the results with the response "FOREVER" or "AS LONG AS IT TAKES" How very cool guys!  We also had several participants willing to wait "About 5 years" or "A month" - very honest!  It was so fun reading your comments.  Looks like we have a lot of romantics around, which I love since I probably fall in that category too.  
I also got to read some amazing Valentine's Day gifts/gestures you all have gotten over the years! Pretty Sweet!!    
I've got some pretty exciting news to share!!  The first is that Cataclysm, which is the final book in The Watchers Trilogy, will be out on April 2nd (although sometimes the ebook sneaks up there a day or two earlier)!!  I can't wait to reveal the cover!!  A cover reveal will be happening very shortly guys...  Woo hoo!!  So hard not to post it this very second!!
Another big announcement is regarding my new series!  Book one will be out in late Spring!! In just a few days, the series and cover reveal will be hitting web!!  This series is a older YA/New Adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy focusing on...  Not allowed to tell you yet!!  Aaaah! It's so hard on me not to share with you, but there are many amazing book blogs that are participating in the cover/series reveal, and I will be pointing you to them all as soon as I can!  I promise!!   I really hope you guys love the new covers!!  The countdown has officially started.
My husband and I got to go to Whistler this last week, which was so amazingly beautiful.  Our friends met us up there, and it was so much fun!  I didn't even fall down while skiing!!  Yay!! As many of you know, many scenes in Awakening took place up in Whistler so it's a favorite place of mine.  I will be posting lots of pictures over the coming weeks, so I hope you enjoy checking out this totally magical place! 
I'll be posting again soon!!  Thanks everybody for your awesome support and emails!  I love hearing from you!  Until the next post...

Love the Feedback!!! + Review +Giveaway

Hi!!
I am having so much fun reading everyone's comments!!  Yay!!  I have to say that I would totally wait forever for my soulmate to return!!  They are hard to come by!    I am a total romantic - LOL
But I do get the impatience part!  It would be soooo hard knowing what you are missing while the person is gone.  I will post the results at the end of the hop to see where we come in at with: willing to wait forever, a few years, a few days, or the who was I waiting for? responses.
Thanks also for all of the great feedback on upcoming posts.  I will be changing it up as I go forward.  Can't wait to keep reading all of the comments.  Keep them coming!  Also, thank you for the feedback on the covers.  The response has been great!  Phew!
Wanted to share a review I received over at Mother/Gamer/Write Blog by Diayll and Heather! Awakening received 5 out of 5 controllers (isn't that cute - love the controllers)  I was so excited to read the review and they are running a GIVEAWAY!!! I have posted the link below.  Would love if you could stop by and say hi to them!!  It is a super fun blog that shares all sorts of posts on books, graphic novels, games, and everything in between!  (US) Giveaway

The Watchers Trilogy: New Cover Unveils...

I have some exciting news that I just had to share with you all!!! Even though I very much love The Watchers Trilogy covers for Awakening and Legions, I don't think that they convey the message of the trilogy quite as well as I thought.  They seem a little too tough and stark for these particular stories…


So the announcement is…I am performing a cover change, which will coincide with the third and final book in The Watchers Trilogy.  Over the next short while, you will see the dark winged covers replaced with 2 new covers that I am completely flipping out over!  I hope you love them as much as I do!!!  There will be times where the winged covers might still be hanging on, but eventually once all systems are up, the new covers will take over.  I am just so in love with these covers and hope you love them too!  It would mean a lot to me if you could let me know what you think!!!


Both books of the trilogy will still be available on Amazon, Nook, and everywhere else ebooks are sold during this transition so no worries there!!  The paperback versions are also transitioning over as well.  The Watchers Trilogy book covers were designed by PhatpuppyArt.com.  Her work is absolutely incredible and many of you are probably familiar with her work already!


Since I can't hold it in any longer, below are the two new covers for The Watchers Trilogy: Awakening and Legions.  Cataclysm is coming out this spring...

Updates & a Fun Review including a play list for Awakening!

It is pouring down rain here at the house, which means lots of snow in the mountains.  Yippee! We hope to go night skiing/snowboarding this week.  It is always so beautiful!
This has been an incredibly busy week in a good way!!  Lots of cover art decisions for upcoming projects that I can't wait to share with you, and I've been able work on some of the last bits and pieces on Cataclysm.  I cannot wait to reveal the covers on Cataclysm and the final trilogy set for The Watchers Trilogy.  I've also made the final decision on the cover for my new series that I am so excited to announce.  Stay tuned... 
Finally, I wanted to share a fun review to go check out!




Erika over at Moonlight Book Reviews rated Awakening with a 4/5 Stars and compiled an absolutely perfect play list for some very pivotal moments in Awakening.  I was so impressed when she let me in on her picks.  I love the songs!!  Please go visit her blog and check out her beautiful review and listen to some great songs as you read!
