LIVE HEARTS BY FIRE!
We DID IT! I say we because of course I did not get to this point of having my novel on Amazon alone! It would be extremely rude and unfair of me to ignore those who have more than helped me along the way. So to my bomb editor, again I say THANK YOU! To BookBesties, I also say a huge THANK YOU. To all the wonderful authors I’ve harrassed with questions about self publishing, including but not limited to, Quinn Loftis, Paige Weaver, Rachael Wade, Katy Evans, Lizzy Ford, Rachel Van Dyken, and the list goes on THANK YOU ALL!
Thank you to my family and friends that have put up with my ranting and raving out this book…it’s finally live! Told ya it was coming soon!
This has truly been an incredible and amazing process, with tons of bumps along the way, but with those persons listed above and those in my heart, WE DID IT!

Ohh, and all music will be purchased and burned with itunes!!! NO NAPSTER OVER HERE LOL
SWAG REVEAL/SOUNDTRACK
Okay, so before I force myself to sleep I have to share this. For Hearts by Fire, I’ve created an actual soundtrack using the playlist that helped me get through the writing process for this story. This customized soundtrack will be given away as part of my swag bags, contests, and for my reviewers!! Take a look and if you are interested in receiving the soundtrack CD for my very first novel…LET ME KNOW! 
MY EDITOR IS DA BOMB!!!!!
Just have to put it out there…again! Rogena Mitchell-Jones is the bomb!! You really can’t thank your editor ENOUGH!!!!
PUBLISHED HEARTS BY FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZON HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say we because I could not have done this without ROGENA MITCHELL-JONES, an amazing editor and person. THANK TWITTER HEAVEN FOR THAT!!! Okay so within the next 48 hours Heart’s by Fire will be out and about, circulating throughout the world. I am extremely nervous as any new author is sending their story out into the world, but I AM READY!
I’ve been ready for readers to meet Patricia and Enthany for a year now. I know that some will love this story, while others will not, and others will just be okay with it. Which ever feeling a reader has, I think I will now be able to handle. AMAZON, READERS, WRITERS, BLOGGERS, THE WORLD HERE I COME! The picture below is so random, but I’m so freaking exited, I can’t see straight!!! LMAO WOOHOO!
Smile & Wave
Okay, so many of my friends and family have been saying–it’s November 1st where is my book? The answer to that questions is that…it’s coming! I am standing by my DON’T RUSH, policy. As an avid book reader, I know what it’s like to pick up a book and get that not so happy feeling. I do not want that to be the case with my first novel, if I can help it. I also have to remember that I did discombobulate my manuscript months back trying to be a professional editor! That did not go so well, so Rogena, my WONDERFUL editor has been fixing ALL of my numerous errors and issues. Patience is a virtue, and I ask that you continue to wait it out. Promise my next post will be ****IT’S LIVE****!

I'm not freaking out... Really!
Pretty much the moment after I officially released "Leaving Eva," I started to FREAK OUT. The kind of freaking out where you almost need a paper bag and a horse tranquilizer to calm down.
I wondered: What in the Heck am I doing?! Who do I think I am? What if nobody reads it? What if everybody reads it? My Mom is going to read it and it has the F word in it.

Take A Walk
I am so thrilled, I ventured into the territory of Indie Writing. I am that person who would prefer to write you a note/letter, than carry a verbal conversation. To me written words are more powerful, because anyone can talk shit… but it takes your mind, heart, feelings, and your whole being to process thoughts and carefully lay them out. Or maybe I just have an undiagnosed social issue. Lol oh well
This is me and I AM AN INDIE AUTHOR!!!!!!!

Help Self Published Authors
When it comes to Barnes and Noble how the heck do you self publish? I’ve read and read the content on their site for authors and publishers, but nothing makes sense to me.
Help please….
