Susan's Summer on Goodreads!!
Hi Everyone,
Susan's Summer, which is a spin-off from the One Black Rose series, is almost done! It follows Holt and Logan Roth's cousin Susan as she deals with the aftermath of what happened in the One Black Rose Series. Susan was in all three One Black Rose books as a good friend to Autumn whenever she needed one. She was also very close with Holt and I thought it would be awesome if Susan's story was told as well!
In Susan's Summer, Susan is forced to deal with the pain of her loss and her own questions on love and her place in the fairy world!
I'm really excited that the listing on Goodreads is now live! Check it out :-)

Paranormal Public is FREE and other news
Hiya Everyone,
First, I want to let you all know that Paranormal Public is free this week on Amazon! Check it out :-)
Also, I've gotten a lot of questions about when I will be releasing sequels to my other series. I thought it was time to update you all on what I am working on.
First, I am doing a book called Susan's Summer. You all remember Susan from the One Black Rose series. She is Holt's cousin and a lot has been happening with her and it turns out there's enough for a book! It will take place after the events of the One Black Rose series. I will have the cover soon and release a synopsis within the week! I'm really excited about it and I hope you are too. I just want to be clear that this book will NOT follow Autumn, Samuel, and the Roths. This is about Susan. Yes, they are mentioned, because she is close to them and cares deeply, but this is focused on Susan. I'm super excited and can't wait for you all to read it!!! :-)
And of course, the Paranormal Public series. I decided to give myself a little ask and answer, so here it is:
Maddy, is there going to be a third book in the Paranormal Public Series?
Most definitely!
Maddy, do you know what this third book will be about?
Yup. I have an outline and story arc that I want to follow.
Maddy, is there going to be a tad more romance?
Yes, outlook looks good!
Maaaaddy, have you written that book yet?
Well, technically no. I have written the first chapter, because Lisabelle just HAD to do something and I couldn't get it out of my head until I let her do it, so I wrote it. As I've said before I am pretty fast once I get writing and since I have an outline I'm excited to start on it.
Maddy, do you have a title?
I am thinking Elemental Burn, but I haven't totally landed on one yet. I must take a poll of my dear ones and get their input.
When will these books be released?
I am hoping that Susan's Summer is September. There's a pretty good working draft and now the editor needs to look at it and I need to do some tweaking, then it should be ready to go. Elemental Burn is less clear, but unless disaster strikes it should be by the end of the year and hopefully much sooner. When I have a better idea, i.e. a draft I am happy with, I will let you all know.
That's it for now. Please feel free to leave other questions here for me to answer if I missed anything, or message me privately if you'd rather :-)

Spiral will be FREE
I've decided to make Spiral free on Amazon for the next five days, so, tell your family, friends, acquaintances, people you pass on the street, people who stand behind, and in front of you, in lines, people you used to know and want to re-connect with. It would be a great conversation starter, something like, "Hey, we went to elementary school together. Yes, I DID love our 3rd grade teacher. Maddy's new book Spiral is free on Amazon!!" Okay, so maybe there needs to be more of a segue, but you get the idea ;-) Enjoy.

Spiral Quote # 2
This is a quote from pretty early on. Enjoy :-)
I wasn’t about to admit it to my friends, not with sleeping and the nightmares that came with it looming in front of me, but I really hoped that Jill’s funny feeling turned out to be right this time. My whole body had tingled every time I looked at Pierce, and I thought it was definitely something I could get used to. I just wished I knew more about who he really was. “He kept looking your way,” Maxie hissed at me.I scoffed. “He’s out of my league. He’s so far out of my league I can’t even see the league he’s in. They don’t even associate.”Maxie shook her head. “He kept looking your way.”It stirred something deep inside me, something that Maxie had talked about ad nauseam, but not something I ever pictured for myself. I had never thought I could have that. Now that I had seen Pierce, I wasn't so sure.

Spiral Quote
“Oh Pierce, didn’t see you there,” I said, examining my cup like it was my job.“Sure you didn’t,” said Pierce dryly. “How am I ever supposed to impress you if you don’t follow me around?”“You can impress me anytime,” said Maxie. “You already have.”"Sorry, but you probably can’t impress me. I'm not attracted to tall guys,” said Jill, craning her neck upwards to look at Pierce. He wasn’t that tall, but he was an inch or two over six feet."I'm attracted to all guys,” said Maxie, grinning. “Jill, you should be more positive. You're mean when we talk about guys." "As opposed to other times when I’m a sweetheart," said Jill.“See? She acknowledges the bright side, then she discards it,” said Maxie, exasperated.

FRIDAY
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to send an update out and thank you all for being so patient :-) Well, my editor and I have decided that Spiral is almost ready to go and we will hopefully be uploading it on Friday *cue epic sigh and a muttered "at long last!"* So, in anticipation of that I will be sending out some quotes from Spiral each day this week! Yay! Soooo I am excited. I hope you are excited!

Spiral Update
So, Spiral. I have a pretty cover up for it and a description and it's been written and sent to my editor twice, and yet it's not up! Why? Here's the explanation.
Basically, both my editor and I feel like there is something wrong with it. After the first round of writing I had three people read it and they offered wonderful suggestions, and I liked it a lot better, but there was still something wrong. My editor just read it again and we agree that it's still missing something.
So.
I have decided to totally scrap what I have and start fresh. The basic concept is the same. I like the idea I am working with, but I am going to write the book again. I don't want to publish something I'm not proud of and am less than confident you all will enjoy. Of course, I realize that it makes Spiral very very late and that's disappointing for me as well as for you, but I think in the long run it will be best. I have about 25,000 words of the new version (Elemental Rising finished at 80,000 words for those of you that need a benchmark) and since I write pretty fast once I get going I am hoping to have it finished in good time.
I will keep you posted. I appreciate your support and patience! :-)
