Blood Lilly is done, time for romance
It has been a while and that is mainly because I have been struggling to write, edit and get blood Lilly to my publisher. Now that that is done I am moving onto finishing some romance stories.
As most people know my hubby is in the Australian defence force and is currently deployed. Due to this and other factors like my urge to help create awareness for PTSD among other things; i have decided to work on two military romances.
Here is the 1st page rough draft of a story centered around a psychologist and her Army patient.
Untitled
Everyone stood still while the reveille music played. Personnel saluted the flag as we watched it being raised. Mornings had been like this for me, for the past three years. I was used to it now, enjoying the repetition of Army life almost as much as I enjoyed my work on base. Men and women dress in uniform moved around me after the music stopped.
I stayed, looking up at the flag and praying that today I would make a difference. That was why I was here after all…to make a difference. I guess most of the people who worked on the base felt the same, we all wanted to make a difference in the world.
My journey towards a career as an Army psychologist hadn’t been an easy one. I had finished high school at sixteen and collage my psychology degree by twenty. It was during my PhD to become a clinical psychologist though that I decided to join the army. Also around that time was when my brother had returned from his first year long tour in Iraq. None of us had expected him to change, none of us knew back then what post-traumatic stress disorder was.
My brother, Daniel, knew all the right things to say, when he got back home. On the outside he looked happy. At work he felt safe, his ability to get the job done, something he used to hide the emotional scars facing him. I watch him as he began to withdraw from his friends and his family, knowing something was wrong but the Army psychologist couldn’t see it. Little things bugged me, like drinking for one thing. He wouldn’t have his back to a door or window, nothing to unusual unless we were at a restaurant, then it became a concern; one so great that my brother almost punched the waiter over it.
After that it just got worse. Daniel lost his wife due to the drinking and his outbursts. I felt certain he was depressed but I was young and not confident in my judgment of the situation. I wrote to the Army, begging them to look further at my brother which they did and found him mildly depressed due to the breakdown of his marriage. When I received the reply I was mystified, but let it go, after all this doctor had been treating our serving men and women for years, surely he knew what to look for…but he hadn’t.
No one, especially not me, could have foreseen what Daniel would do. Two years after his return, my brother- after coming back from his second tour- decided to shoot himself in his car, half a mile from base. I was dumbstruck. Emotionally torn apart by why he would do it. Why would he decide to take his life instead of coming to me for help? Why I hadn’t pushed harder, looked further or known what was going on with him.
It was during his funeral that changed my life. I watch as his brothers in arms cried for him. I watched as we sat, drinking beers and remembering the Daniel we knew. As the night wind down and the beers turned to bourbon, I heard the stories of what it was like. Maybe they had forgotten that I was still around but those boys talked. They spoke of Daniel and of the people they had killed. Spoke of the people that had almost killed them and how now, whenever they were out, in civilian life that past still haunted them.
The next day I told my grief-stricken parents I was going to join the Army as soon as I completed my PhD. As one can imagine they weren't happy. They had just buried one child and didn't wish to bury another but I couldn't stand by and do nothing anymore. Daniel had suffered because I didn't think to act or question his diagnose. He had lost his life but if I could help, if I could save a soldier like Daniel who was suffering, then maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't all be for nothing.

Blood Lilly is making head way
So recently I lost all my work I had done for the past 4 months, all of it gone. That means I've had to start again but it also meant I couldnt delay working on it anymore. You see I think some where deep inside I knew it wasnt the story that needed to be told. Sure the end will be the same but the middle stuff wasn't sitting right.
So dusting myself off and creating myself a new tighter deadline, I've begun working. Like in book one
Blood Lilly will open with a scene from Jude. Yes he is back! Also you will meet Lilly's father...yep right off the bat you will know who her father is, no I'm not crazy haha.
Cayn is still around walking in Lilly's dreams. Yes Book 2 isn't going to drag, you're going to be thrust right back into the story from where book 1 left off. That doesn't mean there wont be a lot of things happening right thoughout the book. I had to cut Death Lilly a little short because to finish it anywhere else would ruin book 2. Questions will be answered...but who is really good and who is bad???

Meet the characters of Death Lilly
For Images please head to http://wordsaccordingtome.blogspot.co...
Lilly Vale: She has raven hair and emerald eyes. Her taste in guys is a little worrying and she is acts here age. She can be reckless and selfish, though she tries to do the right thing.
Lilly Quote
“Well if you can lay claim on me, then I can on you. That means you can’t go flirting with girls, no matter how pretty they are. I’ve never had a boyfriend before, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t understand the rules of a relationship. No more flirting. I mean it or we’re done. I won’t play second to your ego,” I snapped.
Jude: He is a man with a past and if he isn't careful one of these days it's gonna catch up to him. Though he is trying to right past wrongs by protecting Lilly as best as he can. With blonde hair and blue eyes he looks similar to his brothers.
Jude Quote
“I don’t know what to say Lilly, but if I ever find out who made that call, I will kill them,” his eyes went dark, the words holding such menace. Instinctively I pulled away from him, not understanding who this new person was. Jude was Mr. Nice Guy, not this vengeful person.
Cayn: Mr Popular. He's everybody's friend and people naturally flock towards him. Cayn can melt a girl's heart when he's not trying to get into her pants. But don't be fooled, Cayn has his own closet full of secrets waiting to be unveiled...
Cayn Quote
“You couldn’t keep me away, even if you tried. You might bring out the best in me, but sometimes I am at my best, when I am bad.” He looked up at me through those long dark lashes and smiled so sexy that I felt as if I should melt. I felt a hot rush of desire run through my very core as I tried desperately to compose myself.
Levi: He is dark, danagerous and at times completely sweet. One minute he is all flirty, the next, he is cold and disconnected. He is Cayn's best friend even though they often disagree, but there is one thing Levi won't do...
Levi Quote
“I am just saying that, just maybe…” he hesitated, “Cayn isn’t the one for you.”
Amy: long legs, blonde hair and she's a cheerleader! Everyone would think that Amy has it all but there is one thing she doesn't have. One thing that she would kill for...
Amy Quote
“I would be more inclined to think about if you would want to go out with him. Sure he is all Mister Smooth right now, but this is day one. He is already acting like you’re with him,” she shrugged before heading off on a different tangent. “I guess you’re pretty, in a kind of gothic chic way, so maybe that could be why. Cayn wants what he wants, and until he gets it …well it is like he is becoming obsessed. Maybe you should be careful and stop talking to him.” She put her lip-gloss away and walked out, just leaving me there.

Coping with Deployment HandBook
As most know my husband is in the military. We have experienced a couple of deployments and during that time i have never come across anything which describes the intense emotional roller coaster that it can be. Everything I went through made me feel half crazed and very alone. Sure I knew other people had been there and gone through it but it wasn't as though I was going to call them up and be like, 'hey I want to walk out the door cus I am so over this and want to tear my hubby's head off.'
Even though I felt like that at that moment it wasn't what I really wanted. I just needed to vent. I needed to let my frustration out and know that what I was feeling was normal.
Any serious amount of time away effects you and your relationship. It is hard and no matter how you try to explain it to those not in the military it is likely that they just wont understand. How can you tell someone that really you partner is married to military and you get to play mistress every now and then. Military first, you second.
So work has begun on the Coping with deployment handbook. Two sections have been nearly completed. There are tips to help kids cope and parents of those deployed to cope. Also, in a first, I am going to try to include tips for siblings. Stay tuned for more details :)
Here is a few pieces from the book.
The packing of the bags.
Denial is my fave emotion at times but when you are sitting or standing and watching your partner pack those bags everything becomes real way too fast. This is a rollercoaster of emotions that you will be riding on. This is the time you might feel yourself becoming closed off or teary or one of the many other sad, angry, frustrated emotions that comes when realty hits you all too quickly.
The what ifs…
No one wants to have this talk and yet if something happens you will be glad you did. I am talking about the What If talks. What If one of the kids gets has to go to hospital? What if a loved one dies? What If something happens and I can’t contact you for a week or week? What If the house burns down? What If something happens to you and you don’t come back?
All these things are hard to talk about. The first time my partner went we didn’t have this talk at all. Again the denial fairy visits me on this one but now that I’m older and know better it is hard to ignore these discussions. Have this talk! Write down a list of possible What Ifs and check them off as you talk about it.
Be Prepared
Now is the time to make sure you have insurances, to check wills, to find contact numbers etc. Make sure you have the number of your partner’s mechanic, or any other thing your partner normally takes care of. If your partner is use to doing certain things well you’re going to have to burst their bubble and begin to take over things.

Siron one of my fave characters
In front of me was a man, his hair a golden mane that framed his angular face. The guy was as beautiful as he was foul-smelling. It was almost a crime to think that this monster could look like a god and yet smelt like a sewer. ~Ivy’s first encounter with the incubus Siron.
Siron is and has to be up there with my favorite male characters, alongside Magnus and Levi. He is so much fun to write and I love to listen to him talk. He is an old Incubus who has come to terms with his curse though he wishes for it to end.
You see when I first found Siron; he was under the control of his beast. The creature was a born predator, looking for any lady to feed off. Words dripped from his tongue like honey as he wooed his next victim. I was enchanted, completely bewitched. The man was a god, a gift to any woman...or so I thought. You see, it turns out that Siron isn't quite into women at all. When the creature is sated, Siron would much rather prefer being spanked by his lover or shopping for shoes and suits. He wants nothing more than to live a happy life with Galen his Fae partner, but the beast keeps on interfering in their happiness.
As this is still a work in progress I pray that he will find his happiness but danger is near and there might trouble brewing for the pair.

Some friends who bless my life :D
I am so blessed that I feel stupid for not embracing my luck before. I mean, it takes only an individual to change a person's life and I have so many that I should be screaming with joy and happy dancing my way around the world. I want to share these friends with you!
First is William Cook http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I have known him now for omg 2-3yrs I think...every since i stumbled upon his amazing blog http://www.bloodrelated.wordpress.com/ and then befriended him on Facebook. I consider myself lucky that he accepted and is such a wonderful source of inspriation and knowledge for me. If you love horror then you must check out his novel Blood Related http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1468...
Next is James Garcia Jr http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I have know Jimmy for 1-2 years. We meet via this blog actually. He is always one of the first people to leave me encouraging words of wisdom and always brings a smile to my face. I am so happy that we have become friends! I don't know what i would have done at times with seeing his kind messages written there to help me! I am going to share his new book that has just come out titled Dance on Fire http://www.amazon.com/Dance-on-Fire-e...
Then there is Lisa! https://www.facebook.com/lisagoldmanw...
She is such a kind hearted, wonderful person, that i couldn't imagine my life without her being there. We have gotted really close since starting our goodreads group http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/6... along with Muse. Lisa has been there to help me with my writing, teaching me things and always willing to help. I am so lucky!!! We often share a laugh and have a good chat when time zones allow for it hehe. I know she is someone I can count on to be there for me when I need a friend to have a whinge to. She is also a wonderfully talented writer! Omg seriously, when I read her work I often wonder if I'll ever be able to produce something as magical as she does! We are looking forward to one day being published together! Anyway...in the meantime go and check out her work!!! Like her page and become a fan :)http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
Lastly there is Muse. She is not (Yet) an author but she is such a wonderful, funny and kind friend who is a tech genius. Again I need to give her a shoutout for all the times she has made me nearly pee myself with laughter. Her OCD is awesome for someone like me too hehe. I can always count on her to be 100% honest and to keep my head from inflating. She writes fanfiction and one of these days Lisa and I will convince her to star in one of our group antholgies so the three of us can be all published together hehe.
Also I must thank all of you really! There are those of you I don't know just yet and those who i might only speak to every now and again but know that I am always thankful for your interest in my life and my writing! I am nothing without those who take the time to share in my passions. If you have ever wanted to get to know me, don't be afriad to chat. I reply as often as I can. The four people listed all became dear to me via a chance; just a single message and from that a wonderful friendship has grown. Life is full of chances, embrace them!
Love you all

Lastly there is Muse. She is not (Yet) an author but she is such a wonderful, funny and kind friend who is a tech genius. Again I need to give her a shoutout for all the times she has made me nearly pee myself with laughter. Her OCD is awesome for someone like me too hehe. I can always count on her to be 100% honest and to keep my head from inflating. She writes fanfiction and one of these days Lisa and I will convince her to star in one of our group antholgies so the three of us can be all published together hehe.
Also I must thank all of you really! There are those of you I don't know just yet and those who i might only speak to every now and again but know that I am always thankful for your interest in my life and my writing! I am nothing without those who take the time to share in my passions. If you have ever wanted to get to know me, don't be afriad to chat. I reply as often as I can. The four people listed all became dear to me via a chance; just a single message and from that a wonderful friendship has grown. Life is full of chances, embrace them!
Love you all
Rebecca
