Swag Idea!!!!!
SO EXCITED!!!! I just ran a new promo idea to PS Covers, which is awesome by the way and I think we can make it work. I can’t wait to include this new swag idea to my followers and readers, once Heart’s by Fire is released, hopefully by the end of the month. The only hint I can give is that it involves the music from my novel’s playlists, as I am a music junkie. It’s my only drug of choice!
CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shot In The Dark
Just for the experience and to say I did it, I’ve submitted one of my many to be released novels to Entangled Publishing. I’m excited that I went through the process, and would love to see that stamp of approval from them somewhere in the near future. Either way, I am completely content with the self publishing route that I’ve taken. NO REGRETS ALL THE WAY AROUND!!!

Bilingual Novels Need FEEDBACK
So, I’m currently writing a bilingual novel. The dialogue is mostly English along with the narration, but there is a lot of Hispanic terminology and slang. My question to other readers is do you prefer a glossary of the non English words used or do you just read through the words and the meanings of those words in parentheses within the sentences?
Does what I just asked make sense to anyone…lol long day!

What’s Happening
Hello,
I’m here just to do an overall recap of my progress as an Indie Author…or what I’ve been calling myself for the last couple of months. Heart’s by Fire my very first novel, an NA Paranormal Romance is will hopefully be available via Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes and Nobles, by the end of this month. I had an extremely successful cover reveal last month, and could not have been blessed with better responses for my cover and synopsis. While this book is being edited by my AWESOME EDITOR ROGENA MICTCHELL-JONES, I’ve been working and have completed other novels as well. The next runner up to my first novel is a three book series, Ocean’s Trilogy. I will be posting information of those novels shortly, as I’ve already completed the manuscripts for books one and two. Of course, I was blessed to have found a great cover artist for those books and they are burning a hole in my inbox because I want to show them off to the world already! Patience, I know but I absolutely love my COVERS!!!!!
I say in the next two weeks book one, Ocean’s Collide will have there it’s page on this blog giving you the juicy details of my intensely, consuming, and tragic love story. Apart from this series I have completed another novel which is a stand alone, and I can’t wait to release that one either. I understand ROME was not built in a day but man how I wish I could share these incredible stories with you already, but I respect the entire indie self-publishing process so I am going to wait for my releases with grace! Hard work goes into these novels not only by the writers, but by the editors, cover artists, and promotional teams. Can’t rush a good thing right? So with all my blabbing out, well most of all my blabbing out, I’ve been pretty busy, and feel that this is going to be a constant for me. There are so many stories living inside of my head that I sometimes forget when my own reality starts, and where it ends. I am a learning author, and know that I have a long way to go to achieve my goal of being well known and just loved by book addicts. I will continue to stay positive and believe that somewhere out there, there is a reader waiting for my stories to make them laugh, cry, happy, angry and sad, because those kinds of emotions are what draws me into my reads. Okay, blabbing done because I am pretty sure I went way off topic.
See you all on Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOT A NEW COVER FOR RECENTLY COMPLETED WIP
OMG can’t wait for every one to meet Desirae and Rez!!!!! Should be out sometime in January, after Heart’s by Fire, and Ocean’s Collide releases of course. STAY TUNED.
CALLING ON MEMORY
Okay so my new work in progress calls me to draw on my memory. I haven’t seen New Jersey or Manhattan in five years! My wip is heavily concentrated in those areas. This one is going to be extremely fun to write, and to my family members sorry if you see your names all over this book. IT’S ONLY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
