Dvora  (igyabc) | 634 comments Did you all realize that we are almost at 300 members! I think that once we hit 300 David should show is thanks by taking us all out to dinner. But first he has to send us all first class tickets to Hawaii!

Ok I'm back. What was I saying? Oh right. It comes out 3 days after my birthday....LADIES NIGHT OUT!!!! Woohooooo!!!

I just saw Bel Ami. FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS Rob eye candy. But the movie was a bit boring. I didn't care though. Really, who cares when he's on the screen. Ok, I gotta go, it's 100 degrees here and I can't take anymore heat!!

Tina (frogluv3r) | 458 comments Lol @David...woohoo here I come Hawaii. LOL
We'll make it to 300, maybe even 3000. You're an awesome person and author. People are drawn to you and your work.

@Dvora...I am sweating my butt off. I thought it was just from the Rob hottness, but damn this weather and hot flashes they are distracting. LOL

No it's not the weather. It's the combination of the Rob hotness and the fact that today is John Taylor's birthday! See his hotness along with Robs is very dangerous. Make sure you take lots of cold showers and eat lots of ice pops!!

Yesterday was an amazing day for me and it was all possible because of my friends and readers! After months and months of hard work, I published my new book The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes and it was a huge success so far and I'm looking forward to see where it all goes :)

To celebrate, Adele and I had a slice of red velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory :)

Thanks to all the mods of this group, the bloggers who participated in the cover reveal and blog tour, and of course the readers who have already bought or will buy The Moon Dwellers. I can't wait to hear what you all think!!!!

My heart goes out to the victims and their families of the Colorado movie theater shooting. Something like that puts everything in perspective. It makes me want to love more, be a better person, and cherish every moment I have with the ones I love.

Lol I had a rough day for some reason. Probably because I finished editing all 4 Nikki Powergloves books (whew finally!) yesterday so today I was formatting for print ugh I hate formatting! I was angry and in a bad mood all day and I kept apologizing to Adele for it and I'm still not done formatting the first book blech! Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive :)


message 232: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments Nikki Powergloves is your series for children, right? I came across them on goodreads and it actually sounds like a fun children series.

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
Yep you got it! The first 4 books are coming out August 31. They'll be good for 7-10 year olds. 150 pages or so each with nice easy to read chapters. They're about a girl superhero but have both male and female kids do should appeal to all kids :) I'm so excited to finally release it as I started working on it almost 2 years ago :)


message 234: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments nice to be able to release the first 4 book all at once. That way if people like the series, they can immediately read more of it.

Dvora  (igyabc) | 634 comments Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say that I know you all must miss me terribly!!! So I just wanted to pop in and ask for forgiveness. I have been a little busy lately and had to focus on some important things. NOT that helping David and being one of his biggest fans is not a priority! BUT, I just have some other things going on right now that really need my attention. All good things, so nothing to worry about. OK, everyone can relax now knowing I'm alive and well.

Miss you all terribly. I'm going to go now because something is taking me away! LOL goodnight and Happy Reading!!!

Lol hi D!!

I've been terrible with the updates so thanks for the reminder! So I've received feedback from 9 of 12 beta readers for the sequel to The Moon Dwellers The Star Dwellers (The Dwellers, #2) by David Estes . Overall consensus is that it's even better although there was plenty of constructive feedback to improve it too! What would I do without my betas? Put out really crappy books probably lol.

And for those interested, I've started the third book, which will be titled The Sun Dwellers!! I'm only 12,000 words in so far but I hope to finish the first draft by the time The Star Dwellers is published on September 30th. The third book will be released on November 30th so only two months two wait in between the second and third books!!

Lastly, my new children's series Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born will be out on August 31st. I'll release the first 4 books on the same day and they'll be available in ebook and print so if you have kids, nieces, nephews, friends' kids or any other connection to kids aged 7-10, check them out! Books make great gifts *hint hint*

Oh and we've been seeing lots of dolphins and turtles here in Hawaii, they're so cute!!!

I just read the third chapter of MD and I love the characters so far. Reading only a chapter a day is tough. I am so excited that I won't have to wait too long for the other two books. YAY!! As for your childrens book, I am planning on buying them for my niece and nephew!

Dvora  (igyabc) | 634 comments Ok, so for those of who have been living in a cave, I went to go see Robert Pattinson on Monday. It's a long story that I'm too tired to get int now. HOWEVER, if you missed his Daily Shw interview, here it is. Around the 3:30 mark, Jon starts to talk about the crowd outside waiting to see Robert. Look closely and you'll see me. Right up front of the barricade. Talking to some girl. I'm in a black long sleeve shirt with a pink tank top over it. Tell me if you see me!

I know, I know, it's been a long time since my last update *hanging my head in shame* But it's not like I've just been hanging out doing nothing! (Although I have played a lot of Angry Birds, but that's because I'm a hopeless addict)

So what have I been up to? Well, I released the first two books in my first children's series Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born (Nikki Powergloves, #1) by David Estes
and I hope to release the next two books soon ;)

I'm also two days (EEK!!!) away from releasing the sequel to The Moon Dwellers The Star Dwellers (The Dwellers, #2) by David Estes There's going to be an awesome blog tour and a bunch of cool giveaways and stuff.

Finally, I've just finished writing the first draft of the third book in the series, The Sun Dwellers, which will be out in late November-early December woot woot! The Sun Dwellers by David Estes

So I'm in between books now, visiting my family in Pittsburgh, and trying to catch up on all the books I've been wanting to read :)

That's about it! Anyone have any questions? LOL, they can be about anything at all, doesn't have to be book related!
