Blood By Night may release in March, instead of April

My editor tells me she may finish with Blood By Night tonight, if not tomorrow. If I don’t have too much to fix (so far it doesn’t seem like too much), I may be able to get through her notes quickly. Which would mean I could move my publish date from April, to March.

And I want to mention for you again. If you haven’t read this, and you love theDark Illusions series, you’re going to be even more excited for this book to come out. As much as I am! Read this post and you’ll find out the whole c...

Paperwork fun

Today I’m downloading and printing out all of my paperwork from sales and the sites that I list my booksthrough. There are three. I haven’t yet gone direct through Barnes and Noble, soI don’t have to do that one. I do sellmy books through them, just through different channels.

I also sent off for my paperback proof ofImmortal Separation. I was concerned that the cover file wasn’t looking as good online as it should so I need to proof a physical version before then. I didn’t even know if the c...

Blood By Night sent off

BY THE WAY:

Sent Blood By Nightto Creech Enterprises last night. Supremely happy about that. Today my anxiety level is up there. smh I don’t THINK it’s related because my anxiety has been up there in general lately. Either way it annoys me. Doing more yoga lately to calm the nerves. That’s what I hate about it. My body does that when stressed, even when consciously I am not aware of it and I don’t believe I am doing anything overtly stressful.

I’ve suffered this my whole life but now it’s bec...

Brain workings – synapses and neurons

I was writing some new information into the ending of Blood By Night last night. I thought I would share a link that I found that talks about what I was writing. In the end of the book it’s referring to the brain’s ability to renew itself.

In the book and the part that I wrote in there were abilities (I’m being careful not to spoil the story too much) that a character possessed, but which had been trained out, crushed out you could say. So the brain upon being triggered, sort of goesboom and...

Vincent – one of the most hated

Vincent.

Vincent is one of the most hated characters from my DARK ILLUSIONS series. Being that Vincent is a Raaka, he epitomizes the brute playboy nature of their clan. Not as lovely a playboy as Sean or one of the others because of his vicious ways, still, the man can entice women with his charm. Don’t let it fool ya. The man is insane, holds a temper, and doesn’t handle being told no so well.

Classic nature of the Raaka, Vincent believes he should be Prince, not Julian. One has to wonder, w...

Sunday morning relaxation

Rainy morning. There is a steady drip . . . drip . . . drip . . . next to me. The rain has decided to start coming through the fireplace. Not out into the living room, but I guess the cap that usually keeps most of the water out, isn’t doing such a good job anymore. We don’t use the fireplace because my elder mother’s sinuses don’t handle the smoke. So the fireplace doesn’t get used enough to stay dry. There is also an ordinance in our city that forbids the usage of them unless they are the m...

Pausing edits for breather

Not quite sure why I feel so incredibly exhausted today, but I do. I know I woke up a few times during the night, once being 3:30 AM (checked meh clock) and that will work against me. Maybe just too many nights like that. It was odd. I woke up to what sounded like the cat throwing up, but . . . not. A second later, Kona let out this deep growl when I turned over on my back to hear if itwasthe cat and try to listen for the sound. Kona was the only dog who growled too. I sssshhhhed him but I he...

Kober

Kober.

One of the most loved characters in my DARK ILLUSIONS series. Some deem vampires like him the most monstrous of all because his clan most resembles the classic vampire that one can’t even look at. Red eyes, extremely pale skin, and sharp pointed ears.

Well, he makes up for that by being the gentlest individual he can be. A gentleman who keeps to himself, loves to paint, and has an endearing love for Kat. Perhaps because she sees him as beautiful. Not the monster that he and others see...

Blood By Night – #amediting – lessons learned

Fixing to do my final read-through before sending to Jeanie. I am taking a break before I do so that my brain is fresh.

It’s funny. When I first started to publish, which was beginning of 2012 I believe, I didn’t have a care in the world about errors or anything but my story. Admittedly it was also because I didn’tknowas much. Now that I have learned a lot, and continue to learn, I find myself going right back. Not going back in terms of bad writing and whatnot.

It’s just that my confidence...
