Why I Believe That 'Revision = Depression'.
Reblogged from An Evil Nymph's Blog:
It’s that time of the year again when I, as a high school student, have to give my best to the final exams of the year, to apply all that I have learnt in one year and apply them well so as to be able to pass on to the next new school year. Yep, here in Mauritius we follow the British education system, mainly the Cambridge syllabus.
especially since i have one in three hours
RANTS OF A CRAZY AUTHOR; THE CRAZIES
Don’t you think that authors are a bit looney. They have all these people living in their heads and the only way to get them out is to write their stories. And sometimes that doesn’t even work and they have to write another and another and another and another….
On my all profiles (I just realized) on the bio I always write, “I listen to the voices in my head” Normally out there in society you tell someone you hear voices you are put in straight jacket.

Promises made as children have a funny way of working themselves into reality when fate is orchestrated for them as adults.

Shades of Darkness ~ Excerpt
I’m so excited to have finished Shades of Darkness, Book 2 Redemption Series, that I had to post an excerpt! Sending it in to my editor today!
I’m attaching a pic of my inspiration for Haden, the new antagonist in my series you’ll love to hate!
Shades of Darkness
Prologue
Three Years Later
“So, is it true?” Haden demanded, grabbing hold of Jace’s arm and pulling him into the tiny supply room tucked away in the back of the bar.

RANTS OF A CRAZY AUTHOR; THE CRAZIES
Don’t you think that authors are a bit looney. They have all these people living in their heads and the only way to get them out is to write their stories. And sometimes that doesn’t even work and they have to write another and another and another and another….
On my all profiles (I just realized) on the bio I always write, “I listen to the voices in my head” Normally out there in society you tell someone you hear voices you are put in straight jacket. On this side of the pond, you are find yourself sitting on a rock in a forest in the middle of nowhere with a guy who is wearing a rumor of clothing dancing around you with a rattle filled with bones and beads. He sprays stuff on you, the favorite chicken blood, then dips you in a river somewhere to the point of asphyxiation in the name of cleansing you of all the evil spirits talking to you in your head.
By now you are wondering why is she telling us this? this is why, someone once told me write what you know. That the ONLY way you can write a good story is by writing what you know (due to my sales i might think she was onto something. I’m kidding) if we only wrote what we knew or what we experienced books would be limited to one genre or practically the same plot but different stories.
If we only wrote what we know I wonder where Brenda Davis and Stephanie Meyer’s met Liam and Edward, or where Nikki Davis met Kane and Ryne. Because I would like to meet them too. As authors we have the free will to dip into the craziest part of our minds, the fantastical area where it allows us to write about vampires, lycans ( I don’t want to say demons) and pantheras. there are no restrictions or regulations on how far we can take the fantastical being we conjure up in our minds. This is why I saw that authors, writers have got the crazies!
Don’t write just what you know, do not do yourself such a great disservice. Combine what you know, to give your story a piece or reality, with what you don’t know. Do not limit yourself to expectations that are not your own.
Own your crazy!

RED RUBY LIPS
Her red ruby lips hovered next to his ear. She was whispering something that only he could hear. her long red hair fell over her face and brushed along his pale, scaly skin wrapping itself around his neck as she gently bit his ear. She moved to his back, climbing and latching on like a baby monkey would do on it’s mother’s back. No one could see her eyes, but her red ruby lips burned bright in the darkness that surrounded them.
They all gasped as the light left his eyes. His brown smiling eyes, once offset by humor, faded blue as it took on a form that was not of life. It’s new icy blue depths froze anyone who dared to look him in the eyes, calling on their souls and dragging them deep into a hellish existence. They bore an unimaginable terror.
They froze in shock as she coiled her snake like body around his frail one, her claws digging into his rotting flesh. Her red ruby lips pulled back in a snarl exposing her dagger like teeth. Those teeth sank into his neck as she sucked him dry. From a distance they could hear his mother’s heart wrenching cry. her son was lost.
They watched in silent terror, the sucking sound turning their ears deaf with disgust. They watched the movement of those red ruby lips as she smiled, the image of them burned into their minds.

FATAL JEALOUSY..... out JANUARY 2013
The romantic suspense thriller, Fatal Jealousy is my second book with 5 Prince Publishing and it will be released in January 2013.
Twins Ellsa and Ellie are completely different in character, personality, taste and interests. Apart from the striking resemblance to each other, they share the one thing siblings shouldn’t…. the same taste in men.
They keep falling for the same man, creating a quiet rivalry between them.
