Monday Announcements... on Tuesday!
With so much going on, Monday has turned into my busiest day, so I didn't get to my weekly announcements yesterday! So, here they are:
1) Broken Dreams' cover reveal is this Friday! You can check it out on Goodreads Friday morning or pop over to one of the blogs featuring it (I think there will be quite a few)!! I have also set a tentative release date of July 15th, providing everything goes well and I can get everything lined up correctly!
2) I am one of the co-founders of a new adult literary magazine! Generation New Adult was formed by Ashleyn, Andrea, & I and the first issue releases on June 10th! I can't wait!
3) I'm taking a vacation! Hubby & I have decided to travel down the coast to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We plan on taking a couple days to get down there and then a few days in Myrtle with a couple days to get home again! We leave June 15th, and we'll be back on the 23rd.
Well, that catches you up. For now. I will have some exciting stuff happening next week, as well!

Top Ten Wednesday
So, after the amazingness of yesterday's post (seriously, go read it!), I thought I would give you guys an insight into my life. So today, I am sharing the top ten books in my Kindle. And by top ten, I don't mean the best ones. I simply mean the ten at the top, so the most recent ones. Here are the last ten books I purchased (in no particular order):

Generation New Adult
Maybe you've seen this image on floating around Facebook & Twitter lately. Maybe you were directed here from a friend. Whatever the reason, you were obviously curious as to what Generation New Adult is. Ashleyn Poston, Andrea Heltsley, and myself have put together a magazine that focuses solely on the new adult genre in literature. The magazine will feature interviews, a press release of new releases, and lots more! You won't want to miss it!
You can now go to www.generationnewadult.com for the full details and more information about the release of the magazine.

Monday Updates
Well, it's Monday again, which means it's time for the news! Summertime is practically upon us and I love, love, LOVE warm weather. Today is rainy and kind of chilly here, but I know the heat is just around the corner. Of course, the good weather means that I have less time for writing because I am out and about doing fun stuff (like camping and tourist-y stuff)! So I am trying to squeeze in as much writing as I can when hubby is at work so that I can do the fun stuff with him after hours.
So, back to what you really want to know! Broken Dreams is coming along nicely! I think you'll love Rainey and Baker's story - they are both easy-going and not quite as high-maintenance as Luke & Mallory were. This means they are more fun to mess with, of course. ;) The plan is to have their story written and sent to betas by June 20th. The cover reveal for Broken Dreams is set for June 25th! I have a tentative pub date of August 6, 2013, but I'm not going to hold that too tightly until we get closer.
Summer's Ghost is my very first paranormal and I absolutely LOVE writing it. It's different from what I usually write, so I am learning a lot about the paranormal aspect of things as well as getting into destroying Summer's life like no other character I've written! SG will likely be longer than any of the Broken series books, since paranormal requires so much more detail about the world they live in. I am hoping to have the cover reveal in mid-July and the pub date in September, if I can swing it.
Broken Pieces, the third book in the Broken series, should be available in December, I hope. I have so many books in my head, I want them all to be out as quickly as I can manage. And Broken Pieces will end the Broken series (I think). We'll have to see what happens closer to then.
Ideally, I'd like to see all three books out by October and then have another ready for publication in December, but I'm not sure that will happen, so I don't want to get anyone's hopes up (especially mine)! I'll keep everyone up-to-date with what's going on! :D
Have a great week!

Monday Updates
Well, after two full weeks of soul searching, I have finally come to the realization that Broken Dreams, the second book of the Broken Series, will not be the next book I publish. I am taking a break from the Broken Series in order to write a different new adult book.
The Broken Series books are all very close together, and I'm afraid if I write Broken Dreams now, the characters won't have the depth that I want them to have.
So I will be working on Summer's Ghost, a stand alone novel about a young woman who must learn to let go of her past in order to take control of her future. Those are all the details I'm going to give out right now, but you can watch for the Cover reveal & official blurb on June 25th from GCRPromotions. Summer's Ghost will be released in August and Broken Dreams will be published in late Novermber/early December.
Chances are, I will take a break from the Broken Series again after Broken Dreams, so the final book of the series, Broken Pieces will be available in March 2014.
I hope this clears things up! Have a great week!!!
