Welcome Friends

Hello and welcome to my page :D
I cant even begin to explain how excited I am to start this new chapter of my life. I have always loved to write but never thought I would find use for it, save for the term papers, work proposals, and sappy high school love poems.
 About a year and a half ago I asked for a laptop for my one gift that I get a year with the premise i would use it to write a book. Now here I sit, a book in beta, and a second almost finished. Wow who would have guessed..definitely not me. 
As I begin this journey I want to thank everyone who encouraged me along the way. The high school boyfriend that made the book for me to write my poems in. The English teachers who encouraged me to write what was in my heart. The college professors who recognized my talent, and of course the friends and family who humored me but never discouraged me. Please know that I love you all. 
All the sappy stuff aside, it is time I made my point. I am planning on "blogging" weekly. Maybe calling it the Thursday throw out or something clever..suggestions are welcome. My point being to update my readers on releases, current projects, cover reveals, ect. I also plan on sharing snippets of my work, "teasers" if you will. so I though I would start this week with a little from both of my current works. 
I hope you enjoy :) remember to like and share

Muse Vol. 1

Stella and Seth 



“That is totally not fair, you know that right? I thought she was going to pass out, or worse pee her pants!” Seth chuckled as I scolded him. “You can’t just go around getting the entire campus hot and bothered while you’re here Seth, you need to behave”
“Oh I don’t know, maybe I’ll enroll for a semester, college girls are fun. Besides, we need to spend some time together; it’s been far too long since we’ve caused some trouble.” He shot me a mischievous look “It’ll be just like old times. Maybe we can get another book or movie written about us. There has to be a better love story for this generation than teenage vampire angst. Why should the vamps, wolves and nephilim get all the glory?”
            “I’m not so sure that Northfield Minnesota is ready for you just yet Seth. Speaking of which, you still have not told me why you were here yet. I find it hard to believe that you just missed me,” I said to him as thick with sarcasm as I could muster. 



New Book (currently untitled)

Israel to ???



            “Can I help you?” I look at him blankly.
            “Err…Yea. What was that?” He says motioning toward the dining room.
            “It’s his birthday?” I say questioning his line of thought.
            “No its not! And his server should be tending to the customer not you!” He half screams it at me.
            I raise my eyebrows. “Excuse me? I believe that I can sing to whomever I want.” I spit at him with the correct level of disdain.
            “Israel, you are one of the most revered chefs in the twin cities! I would appreciate it if you would stay in the kitchen where you belong.”
            Oh, no he did not!





That's it for this weeks blog ( god that sounds so dumb..definitely need a better name). Hope you enjoyed. Check back next week for more.

Downward spiral throw out.

A word of advice. Never become a writer. Why? Well, I will tell you. Eventually, you start to believe your own bullshit.  Delude yourself into seeing things that aren't there. You are convinced at first that situations are innocent, then your friends say they are not, and you believe them. Just trust your instincts. Fairy tales are just that. Never going to happen. Especially not to me. So I open my mouth, loaded with misconceived information, that I didn't want to believe to begin with, and now I am pretty sure I fucked something up that could have pretty awesome. Ugg, I should be used to this by now, but I guess it never gets easier. I have deleted two posts this week, which I never do. I over stepped, caught up in a moment of irrationality, that I should have been smart enough to avoid. My apologies world, for not being better than my illness. Not this time. -------->BATSHIT

With a little help from my friends Thursday throw out

So I was given a some constructive criticism from a beta who's opinion I value greatly. She was not a fan of my original prologue for one of my books. I redid it with the suggestions she gave me. After several drafts, trying out different concepts, I finally had something I thought was acceptable. Unfortunately, I am still in love with my first idea. This is where you come in! Tonight I am posting both prologues for said book. I want to put it to a vote. If you could please read both versions posted below. Then, either leave the coinciding letter in the comments below or on the Facebook post that brought you to this page. You may also leave any comments or critique you may have below. The comments are not published unless I approve them, so if you would rather them not be visible please specify. Here We GO!!!!!

Every picture tells a story

So I have had time to process the suggestions given by my Beta and I have now organized them in such a way the my brain can process. 1. revamp prologue it sucks..well at least reword and add to it 2. Decide weather or not you want to take out things that personalize it to me...how much of myself do i want to leave on paper. 3. re-evaluate the refrences 4. it needs more muchness 5. suck it up..you can do this So here I sit staring at the picture that my daughter drew me, the back of which, where the first words of muse were laid out on paper.  It took me only a few seconds for this picture to inspire my story. Maybe if i stare at it long enough it will tell me how to proceed.
