Book Release: Hunted: The Chronicles of Illumination vol.1

Around the House
Not to much to say.  Got a cute new care.  A Chevy Cruze in a gorgous blue color.  The last car was red, and I was just not a fan of the color.  I am getting ready for the Blog Contest which of course is going to go along with the release of my new book next month (See blow).  I am really excited, and I hope to hear great reviews from all of you on what you think about the new book.  For those of you that have read my blog I will now that I was a huge fan of the book Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side.  Well I have finally cracked open the sequel, and I am an enjoying it so far.  Look for the review coming soon.

My Thoughts
The release date for this book is May 15th, so watch for all the updates coming to my blog!

Cover Copy
There is nothing like a Vladimir to alter the plans of Fate and Destiny.  They have a habit of ruining the best laid plains.  Like her father Raisa is no different, but this time the collateral damage isn't what she was expecting.  All Raisa ever wanted to was to have Damian share her magical life.  What fun is it being a witch if you can't get into trouble with your best friend because he is a mortal?  Not only is Damian getting dragged into the magical world, but his man eating sister Angela is coming along for the ride.  Of course what happens isn't what anyone expects when it turns out that Angela has been Chosen.  Not Chosen as prom queen, model, or even mistress, no she has been chosen by Fate to lead a group of witches to fulfill the Prophecy of Illumination.  Now, despite all of Raisa's hard work Damian is left outside of the group and a slayer is out for blood.  Not everyone will survive the path to Illumination, will Damian?

Contest is Coming

Around the House
I feel like I have been running a sprint recently.  With getting ready for my next book to hit shelves, planning my next writing projects, and this new attempt at work life balance my head is totally spinning.  I am feeling very old school recently since I started working out.  I am listening to The Freshman by Verve Pipe and it is making me think of how I used to do Karaoke with all the boys years ago.  I miss it.  I miss a lot of things that my life used to be.  I am just not sure how to get it all back into balance.  Well as they say one day at a time.

My Thoughts
So with the new book coming out.  I want to run a contest, but I am not sure how to do it.  It would be nice to get my fans signed copies of my book.  I was hoping for some suggestions.  I would love to get fantasy bloggers involved, my Facebook, and my Blog Readers a chance to take home some signed copies before they are released.  I am just not sure how to promote it.  Any suggestions that you can help me with my dear readers?

I track my readership here very closely and it is surprising to see that my international readers are growing as well.  I don't want to leave them out.  I need help.  I just need to find the right venue to make it all come together.  So any suggestions would be great!  Thank you all for joining me on this journey.  Okay off to dinner!

The Devil in Facebook.

Around the House

Daughter bring home cat today. I tell her no pet in house. We keep pet in backyard like we do with husband pet. No in my house. I keep clean house and no need pet making mess. Then she tell me that is neighbor boy cat. I like neighbor boy, he need mothering. He go on vacation to island with sister to visit mother. His mother whore. So daughter babysit pet. I guess is okay since cat go back soon. Also, reminder that contest has started. I have many email about contest. Is all exciting to see people love blog.
My Thoughts
Daughter and Author Boy make me go on Facebook. I no understand why we need Facebook. If I want to know bout neighbor, I call neighbor. Is like being Peeping Tom when neighbor no know that you know what they do. Is no right! So I decide I no need Facebook. I just tell Author Boy to post update for me. Well daughter tell me about what she call Facebook drama. I ask her what is this drama? She tell me neighbor boy sister has new boyfriend. He is no good. So all people tell her no date him. I say Facebook is devil. Only person who should be telling daughter or neighbor boy sister who to date is mother. After all mother evaluate who is good for daughter and how many goat she can get for her. Not that neighbor boy sister is worth many goat.

Why Divorce When You make Pie

Around the House
Oh, week no good.  Husband no have pig flu.  So I tell him.  He make go emergency room again, second day in row, just get home about twenty minute ago.  I tell him doctor is no crazy, but husband stupid, is so stupid.  Now he lay on couch watch TV.  He complain about plastic on couch, but I tell him, I buy nice couch and we keep dat way.   I is tired, but Author Boy left message on phone to remind to do blog tonight, so I blog.  Sorry I miss yesterday.

Son send letter.  I no know how post man get letter in computer box, but letter show up.  Mind you, I no know why he just don't stick letter in box, cause now I have to figure out how to us printer so I have letter for scrap book.  I tell Husband about letter; now all Husband do is talk about how son retard, cause he no vitch.  Husband scream now he from the Isle of Godamre (as in Son is a "God Damn Re (retard)").  I miss son, I wish he home.  I send him goat cookies.  Oh remember - contest start Friday.

My Thoughts
Daughter watch Dr. Phil today while we sit in hospital. Is about man who cheat on wife. Dr. Phil say they no ready for divorce, I say is bullshit. If husband ever cheat on me I hit with fry pan, take all monies, and change lock. He can sleep in street. So I ask Daughter why she stay. She tell me she still love him, but no trust. I say since she give baby, no have to give goat back, so leave. I no understand American woman. In my country if husband do bad thing wife get mad, get even, and make him pay. Most woman even stay married to man so he pay over and over again. I say is good idea. I always say that if you no believe in divorce, like me, you make him poison berry pie. He no stick is parts in other women when dead. Then you is free to keep all money and get new husband. I should have TV show. I give better advice than Phil.

The No Goat Contest

Around the House
Husband sick, serve him right for eating two bag of candy.  Only 13 tick-o-teaters come to house Halloween and husband insist we buy 9 bag of candy.  Stupid Husband!   So while I spend two day getting web of wall he sit on behind eating candy.  So now he say he sick with pig flu.  I cook one pork roast and now he blame stupidity on my cooking.  I tell him, I eat roast I fine, so he no get pig flu from dinner.  I tell him is so, but no he blame me.  So now, he get box of flour for dinner, and I tell him make own biscutts.  Pig flu!  How I get such stupid husband.  His mother is how!  Put hex on Mom to give me for one goat and not six I worth.
