You've been cordially invited.....

The upcoming sequel of Cursed With Power is a work in progress, but it's no secret that Esmour is having a celebration.  You haven't heard?  Well that's okay; now you're invited to join in on the fun.  The question is what kind of celebration would Esmour want to make an event out of?  Is everyone in their best attire?

Since I'm working through this chapter and there is indeed a celebration, I might consider posting a teaser about it later on.  For now I do have to actually start writing the chapter, but enjoy the picture and think about it.

Be back soon with more!  (see...this is why I need to update this blog. I'll try to keep it actually updated this time around guys. *hugs*)

Don't forget to pick up your copy of Cursed With Power!  Now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Old Line Publishing.

Releasing this fall!

"There's a lot that I want." He said. He smirked as he said it like he knew he was pushing my patience.

Did you fall in love with him?

"I'm Léal Irvine; I'm always quicker than them before I have to be careful."

One of the main reasons I love my job is because in some way or another I'm able to have a personal and emotional connection with my characters.

Though originally Léal didn't have much a role in Cursed With Power, I'm actually very pleased that he now has a role --even if it's minor.  While I know he's not happy with the small role --such an attention seeker!--it'll be interesting to see how everything turns out with him narrating the sequel.

What I really love about Léal --and don't tell him this!--is that he's dangerous.  He's not like anybody I know, and I'm looking forward to expanding his character in the years to come.

My advice to those of you aspiring writers: be dangerous, do something crazy, let your characters be unique.  A lot of readers these days are falling in love with these male characters because of the way they act, the things they say, and of course (as always) the way they look.  However, YOU have control over this.  If your characters talk about your character as someone who's "attractive" your reader will be able to grasp that more easily.  If your male MC is a sweet-talker, a flirt, or maybe throws some crude jokes out now and then.. It's okay so long as it fits in with who he is.  If your guy grew up learning manners from his parents and that family is everything, he could be totally different.  If your guy had parents who left him when he was a young boy, and he ran into the wilderness and lost his humanity for years, he will be different.  And these days, my dear writers, that is what readers want.  They don't want the stereotypical "hero" or "bad boy."  So don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone to find how your character can have his place to shine.

And in case you're curious to read more about Léal, he paid a visit to my blog while I was editing (I warned you, he loves attention): here.  Enjoy your week!  I'll be back later on with more about the series.

Virtual Book Tour --this fall!

The virtual book tour for Cursed With Power will be this fall in which I'll be hopping from one blog to the next, talking with other authors, readers, aspiring writers, and the like about this journey and what to expect from the book.  Anyone who would be interested in being part of this tour, please contact me!

I realize I've been neglecting this blog more than I have my personal one, so I plan to at least post every other day from now on.  Even if I don't have any news to announce, I'll post a picture, a quote, or something else about the books.  Can't have anyone thinking I've abandoned my post!

Also, just to keep you in the loop, my official website will be open to the public within a few days!  Hope you like it and hope to see you there!

All Updated

I am beyond behind in this blog, but I will tell you that I cleaned up all the pages so that they were up to date with everything that has recently added.  Though I know this isn't much of a post, I promise to post more most likely tomorrow.  (How many times have I said that now?)

On the bright side, I have been catching up with my personal blog so if you ever want to know what's going on it'll most likely be up on there.  I promise to play catch up on here, though!  I've even written it down on a post-it-note for myself.  There's no way I can forget... and trust me, when I forget things I feel very guilty about it.
