Cataclysm Playlist, Blog Tours and Cinco de Mayo
The Watchers Trilogy is also getting a blog tour and that will be at the end of June so there will be lots of fun giveaways and things happening that I'll keep you posted on. There will be many chances to win things at quite a few awesome blogs! I've been having so much fun hearing from you guys about The Watchers Trilogy and I'm so thrilled that people are voting on the novella they want out first. It's between Ana or Arie and so far, Ana is winning!! Don't forget to vote below or on my FB page.
We went to a Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday at a friend's house and that was fun. We usually don't go out for that, but it was a fun excuse to dress up, and I got to put on some super high red/orange high heels - lol and I made it back home in one piece. That is saying something when I can break my leg stepping off a curb the wrong way.
And yes I did that in Las Vegas!I just wanted to say thank you again because I feel like I could never say it enough so... Thank you guys so much for being so supportive of my first trilogy. I have loved reading the emails, FB posts, and blog posts. It's so nice to have so many of you reach out, and it really means a lot. It has been a fun journey so far, but that is only because of you guys who are reading the trilogy so THANK YOU so much! It really is great to hear what you enjoyed about the characters, adventures, and themes. So thank you guys again and again!
Below is the Cataclysm playlist for now. I might add some more songs too! Hope you enjoy!!

Surprise!! Hope you cast your vote... :)
1) The Ana option
2) The Arie option
Ana’s story is set mid-twentieth century. For anyone who has
read the trilogy, you probably know what event this will be leading up to. 
Arie’s story is set in the late 1880s. I don’t want to give much away but Arie,
Cyril, Athen and Ana are in London not too far away from the Whitechapel
district.

A Happy Tuesday Post!
This weekend we had some friends over for fondue and I tried some new recipes. Not the best idea. My husband is very sweet and blamed the 'cheese', but I think it must have been the technique - LOL. One minute it was super runny and the next it was a bit like play-doh! But everyone agreed it still tasted good - haha. That's what good friends are for.
I've been doing a lot of writing lately and have found some fun songs to get things going. Some of them are Butterfly Boucher's 5678!, Imagine Dragons' It's Time, Gotye's Eyes Wide Open, Some Nights by Fun, a few songs by Drake, and Jack White's Bunderbuss album! Always love getting suggestions from you guys either here or on FB! So let me have 'em!!
Well I announced a little something on my FB page... That's right a kind of exciting something!! Below is the link to check out! Hope you are as excited about it as I am. I decided to announce it first on Facebook this time instead of my blog just to change it up a bit. I will post the survey on Friday! Happy Tuesday everyone!
More Watchers in 2013?

A Wednesday Update (Legions Playlist and other stuff)
Buttercup is our youngest bulldog and she is actually the bulldog that I based Matilda off of. I know you aren't usually supposed to admit when characters are based off of 'people', but I think Buttercup's okay to let the word out. She is such a cutie and will be able to handle the 'pressures'!!Matilda was a fun addition to The Watchers Trilogy and as many of you know, her role is a little bigger in Cataclysm. I'll keep you guys posted on my little bully. Her sister, Bella is about a year and older and she has her own issues, but usually skin/allergy issues. If you go to my website you can see them both! Buttercup is my Twitter profile pic in her witch costume.
I wanted to say thank you so much for all of your support with the release of Cataclysm, the final book in The Watchers Trilogy. It's been so much fun to read the FB posts and emails. I treasure them all!! It's awesome getting to know you guys. It's been a fun adventure so far!
Lonely Souls has been a really fun journey as well. I've fallen for Logan and Triss and I hope you do too! June's so close but so far away!! I can't wait to hear what you guys think of the new series.
I've got an announcement coming up that I'm hoping you guys will participate in. I already posted on my FB page that a survey will be going up soon. I will post the info here to vote as soon as I announce it. I'm excited about it and hope you will be as well. It's Watchers Trilogy related, but that's all I will say for now.
Below is a fun Legions Playlist I put together. Thanks a ton, guys for everything!! You are all awesome and so supportive!! Yippee! I'm a lucky chick!!
I'll keep you posted on Buttercup ('Butters' for short).

Cataclysm is Available today!
Today is the day that Cataclysm is out on Kindle and Nook! As many of you know who follow my FB page, it actually came out early over the weekend! Thanks for all of the great feedback so far through FB and emails! Yay!!
I hope you enjoy reading Cataclysm! It's a bit sad for me, and I've heard from some of you too that you are feeling the same way! It is hard to believe the trilogy is coming to an end. I loved writing about these characters and everything about them.
Again, I hope you guys love Cataclysm and how the trilogy ends. It was something I thought about the moment I began writing the first book. Feel free to stop by my FB page, post here, or email me to let me know what you thought of Cataclysm.
And, you never know, I might even have a few surprises in store for some of the characters at a later date.
HAPPY READING and THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT AND KINDNESS THROUGH MY FIRST COMPLETED TRILOGY!!
Cataclysm
When it becomes obvious that the dark side will stop at nothing to control the mortal world, Ana is faced with a decision that could determine the fate of Fallen Angels everywhere.
Determined to not use mortals as pawns, Ana does her best to prepare for the battles ahead while protecting the innocent souls around the world.
As danger looms at every turn, she realizes that the ones she thought were prey might actually be the predators, and it will take an army like never before to stop the wickedness from spreading throughout the world.
