A new video of a song that has a moment in the novel during a scene on 8th Avenue, referring to Liam and Ethan.

This is muse music for Book 4. Resurrection, which I am already starting to think about.

Thanks Alisa -- I'd be glad to have you as a beta reader! I'm currently sitting at 80,000+ words and hope to be finished the novel in 10 days. At that point I will ask for reader response to the novel and then start revisions. My goal is to have the novel published by April 5th or thereabouts.

What she said. ;)

Boring? Drake? Never! (I have a feeling he's going to be even more interesting in the next part of the story, as he..."


I was feeling insecure because (view spoiler)[ Kate tells her father that Drake is too old for her and a bit of a "fuddy-duddy" to make him think they really did break up. Ethan was surprised, saying Drake didn't seem that way to him. I just worried that my subconscious was telling me something through Kate... (hide spoiler)] No I am not going cray... This is normal for writers!

Good. Drake is interesting enough then, I take it? He has yet to put his full Dom hat on but Kate keeps knocking it off... ;)

Charlene wrote: "So far, I would have to say that Drake is pretty perfect! Darker? Edgier? Doesn't that take you closer to the clones out there? I'd say there's a playful tone with him that is very appealing...ha..."

Good - I love Drake the way he is but I'm the writer and we're notoriously biased! Just don't want him boring!

Question for Beta readers: is Drake too nice? Would you prefer him a little darker or more ... Edgier?

Glad to be of *service*!!! ;)

CONGRATS!!! That's wonderful news! Yes, you will be very busy -- OMGosh - March 30th!

Had to post this one:

OMG what parts did you read?

Don't worry. I'm not losing it! That's just what happens when you're writing something fresh - you have to feel it or it won't translate. When I have to actually edit it, I am more objective.

I'm a method writer. ;) I have to get into the minds of each of my characters, feel what they're feeling in order to know how to write them. Kate says something and Drake is devastated but keeping it under tight control. My stomach is in knots, this sense of grief in me. Of course, then I think of what happens later... and I grin like an idiot. It's schizo I tell you!

I have to write this really heartbreaking scene for Drake and it's actually making me sad. I'M SO MEAN TO MY CHARACTERS!

When I lived with my parents in Colorado Springs, back when I was in my sophomore year of Uni, we went to Port Aransas and area for Spring Break. I met a really cute guy by the pool and spent all day with him outside and got so burnt that I was sick for two days in bed.

My parents go to Port Aransas every year in March. Might make it down next year... Maybe I could save up the avails from selling my vampire smut and take a real vacation for once...

LOL - do they need policy analysts in Cali? I would love to live somewhere it's warm all year. FUCK snow. I've had enough for a lifetime.

Yes, Alexander with long hair is my muse for Soren.
