Birth and Taxes

Around the House
I am probably one of the most impatient people you will ever meet.  When I want something I want it now.  It is particularly bad when I buy items online; not that I have the money to buy anything right now after all the holidays.  Anyway, I do have a point to this rant.  My poor editor Jerry has had me all over him about his notes on my books.  He is currently working through a second edition of Cursed then moving on to Hunted before we get to finishing the final edition of For the Love of Brimstone.  I am looking forward to getting my magical version of 50 Shades of Grey out for all my readers.  It is funny to hear my younger sister freaking out over that book since she is now just getting on the band wagon before the movie hits theaters.  If she thinks that book is dirty sexy just wait till she gets her hands on mine.  She is already pestering me about audio books.  That is a 2016 project.  Also, of course, I am working on my next book about the Death Dealer, The Merchant of Death.

My Thoughts
Well it is tax season.  Every one's favorite time of year.  I just finished doing my taxes a few minutes ago.  This is always a weird time of year for me because it is also my birthday.  My birthday is January 31st.  I always get so excited for my birthday until the day actually arrives then I get a bit depressed.  I don't have a good reason for why I get down every year on my birthday, but I do.  My birthday this year was one of the better ones.  I had my love with me, my friends B, Seb, Chris, Katrina, and Kim over; plus my youngest sister Kris came by to visit with me as well.  Then yesterday we had a big family dinner which went well.  No, I take that back, it was disaster.  As an Italian you would expect I would be having mounds of home made Italian food, but this year I wanted a favorite of mine; a Greek dish called Pastitsio.  It is like Greek Lasagna.  Who can turn down lasagna?  Anyway, now I wait for my refund to come and think of the start of my new year.  Which most of you would have known about if you were on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Cappella/207854790952?ref=hl .  So come by and Like it and lets see what this new year has in store for everyone.

Book Review: Dead Ever After

Around the House
I'M BACK!  I can't believe how quiet I have been for 8 months.  Yes I am working very hard on the last section of For the Love of Brimstone finally.  I am also creating expanded scenes for the complete volume.  So get excited tell your friends that you are dying to read more of the dirty sexy time.  Until this final volume hits the shelves this month enjoy my new book Pandora's Last Breath.

My Thoughts
Sadness fell on my house when I closed the book on the Sookie Stackhouse Series.  It took me a month to write this review because I couldn't believe that it was finally over; that Sookie and I would not be spending any more summer days laying in the sun enjoying a glass of iced tea.  Then I found that another was coming for this fall ... What Happened Next in the World of Sookie Stackhouse!  I got excited that I would get to see where all of my favorite characters ended up.  How there lives would turn out, and what would happen next.  While the last couple books have been okay this book was stellar, amazing, and an unsung ending to everything that is Sookie.  If you are reading from this point on beware of the spoilers that are coming.  Just go get the book NOW!

I have read a lot about the harsh critics that Charlaine Harris has received for bringing Sam and Sookie together as part of the ending of the Sookie Stackhouse Series.  Of course that is how it had to end up.  She had to have a long life of happiness with a man she would grow old with.  I can understand why you might have pulled for Alcide, but the vampires were never an option for our sun loving part fairy hero.  Now just shut up and enjoy the way the story was told.  Open the past books and reread their first date.  Find the love for Sam again and enjoy that this is how it had to happen.  If it didn't I think I would have been mad.

Rating: 5/5

Swift Changes and New Projects

Around the House
So I have recently been obsessed with house hunting.  I am in the first stages of looking to buy a place, and it is a royal pain.  Yet, I spend most of my time at home looking at the same properties or type of properties over and over again.  Also, my work outs have gone to hell this week.  I have just hand so much going on that getting to the gym has not been a priority, and I am feeling the aftermath of it.  I need to go out and get more active.  Additionally, some of you I know are already on this band wagon but I have started to read Fifty Shades of Grey.  I am not very far into it, but I can see the spark that is drawing women across the world into the tale.  My sister (I have two) has been talking about this book nonstop on her Facebook page so I had to see what it was all about.  I was just going to download the sample, well I bought the whole damn thing yesterday.  I am dying to see how it all turns out.   Also, I am in the middle of reading Dance with Dragons.  I am looking forward to finishing that book which completely reminds me I have a book review to write this week AWK!

My Thoughts
So I have started a new project, For the Love of Brimstone.  Katrina has been pestering me for years to take my love for gossip and turn it into a full story.  Well I have never known how to do it.  So finally I have begun writing this new book as an installment series.  I will be publishing installments for everyone to read as I get through sections of work on it.  It is about two people in their late 20's early 30's and the dark seedy sexual encounters they get themselves into and the aftermath of playing in the world after dark.  Of course this is me so I had to include dark parts with demons and other magical creatures.  I am not sure how long this full novel will take to be done, but as soon as it is I am sure you will love the show.  I am just surprised how much fun I am having taking stories I have heard from people in my life and twisting them into a dark tale of lust, love, and hardcore fun.
