Today we have part two of our chat with the girls from It’s Complicated. Be sure to check out their story here on ">Amazon.

Q: Kat, we find out that you play soccer. How long have you played? Have you ever thought of playing another sport?

A: I’ve been playing soccer ever since I could kick a ball. And, yeah, I tried a little of everything. I’ve played basketball and softball. I’ve run track and even tried archery – that was a crack up—I don’t think I ever hit the target. But soccer’s always be...

Playlist Fiction

Playlist Fiction. What first comes to mind when you read that? I know that the first time I was approached about it I was intrigued. I was curious what it meant and what was involved.

Music has always been important to me. Different song, beats, lyrics are all like the soundtrack to your life. Music helps me to focus at work, can help lift me up when needed. Sometimes most importantly can bring on a memory. The lyrics or the artist voice can bring on emotions from being happy, excited to a few...

The Fictional Boyfriend

Psst . . . I have a crush! Just don’t tell my husband, okay? Although I’m sure he already knows—the dates with my laptop, the blush across my face—how can I possibly hide the fact that I’ve fallen for one of my fictional characters from my own book??

Oh, come on! YOU haven’t fallen for a fictional boyfriend? Say it isn’t so!

Edward. Jacob. Jace. Four. Peeta. Gayle.

Really, what’s not to swoon over?

In my case, I’m torn because there are two. Yes, two beautiful angels who have stolen my heart. Wh...

Jennifer Murgia is bringing us Hadrian again and what else?

Jennifer Murgia first came to us in 2010 with ">Angel Star. In it we first get introduced to Teagan, Garreth and Hadrian. The way the story flowed and developed it left you wanting more to the story. The next year we got it with ">Lemniscate. It brought all three characters together again just having to work together in a different way.

I know for me I enjoyed both but still left wanting more. I could see another book just with a backstory of sorts. Now Jennifer is giving that to us in a way....

The Bliss: Quote Hop

I am very excited, thrilled and honored to kick off this quote hop. I love Jennifer’s work. I have been wanting more of the Angel Star story and….we finally have it. YEAH!!

The Bliss is a prequel novella to Angel Star. Yes, I said novella. So while we have more of the story it is a short story. That is the only sad part of this. But, we will have to take what we can get.

The Bliss (summary): Like his fallen brother Lucifer, Hadrian has been ordered by his fellow angels into a reflective state...

The Bliss

This post has NOTHING to do with my writing. Oh well.

I am a BIG fan of Jennifer Murgia. She has recently revealed the cover of her newest book. It is a really awesome cover.

The Bliss isan ebook novellaprequel to her other books Angel Star and Lemniscate. If you haven’t read those then what are you waiting for?! :p

Sneak Peak: Silent Darkness

I hope everyone is having a great day. I decided to share a little peak of something I’m working on. Parts could change since it is part of a rough draft but it will still give you a glimpse.

Naima

I pressed on, my heart raising. I was too scared to look back to see if he was still there or how far away he was. All that was around me were trees. I wanted to find somewhere to hide so I could catch my breath. Tears stung my eyes and made it hard to see.

I wiped at my eyes when I tripped and feel...

Leader, Protector, Warrior

Just like the last poem I posted, Darkness, this poem is written for a story. What does it make you think of? Read this one and tell me what you think. Then know that this poem and Darkness are actually for the same story. Does that change what you think of the poem?
