Beta reading of Angel Ensnared is done, and now I’m reading over it one last time. PLUS 6 books are now up with their new covers and revised insides! Plus more medical testing for me, and pain…
Author's Life:
It’s been one of those weeks where brain fog was ridiculous, and I kept forgetting things. Sunday I had a full body migraine which did not get the week off to a good start. Monday and Tuesday were spent recovering from it. Wednesday was the GI appointment and Chiropractor, Thursday I spent limping as my body was not happy with being adjusted, and Friday I spent getting ready for today because I have not 1 but 2 family reunions on the same day AND almost forgot my Author Interview! BUT I still managed to get a lot of work done and make the interview!
Writing & Editing:
Editing:
I’ve finished A Broken Redeemer Monday as my Saturday night into Sunday was chaotic with my body rebelling something fierce. Now, I'm reading over An Angel Ensnared just to be sure everything is good.
Writing
I have read over An Angel Falls and gotten back to the point of writing, but I’m in need of some reassurance that I’m not taking this book in the wrong direction, so it’s on pause until the rest of the books get published with the new changes.
With the Editors:
Maxine now has the 1st section of Chaos Theory!!!
Dee has finished reading both Discord and A Broken Redeemer! So she has read all 6 books that needed looked over!
Matt has finished Haunted and will be started Discord’s Nightmare next, then Broken Redeemer. They’re the last two to publish then all 8 will have their new covers and 1-6 will have their revisions as well.
Publishing:
An Angel Ensnared Beta Read came to a close today. All but one of the betas finished, and I feel that was my fault since they did not get the first chunk until late do to an email flop, and I didn’t check into it soon enough. I blame Social Anxiety and not wanting to feel like a nag.
ARC review copy signups for AAE are available as well! You get your choice of paperback, eBook, or pdf format. I only have 2 paperbacks left! So, sign up today! Don’t forget to check your email and reply with your address if you chose a paperback copy!
Thank you for reading this far, here’s a longer snippet from Angel Ensnared since it’s a longer blog this week. This comes from Chapter 4:
Beryx was still sleeping. I slowly slid off him, and he rolled toward me, but I slid to the side of the bed before he could wrap his arm around me and pull me in tight like usual. He opened one eye and watched me as moonlight streamed through the bay window that overlooked the courtyard garden behind the twelve-car garage, highlighting my waifish silhouette.
“What time is it?” he mumbled, and I looked at my watch. It was four a.m. I’d been asleep for maybe three hours.
“Too early to be awake,” I grumbled. He reached for me, and I took his hand.
“Then come back and cuddle until you fall asleep,” he said, gently tugging. I shook my head, wishing it were that simple, but I also didn’t know how to explain it, plus he needed his sleep and would be worried if I told him my visions. However, my bladder came up with the perfect excuse.
“I need to go to the bathroom first...”
New Covers update:
As of today, 6 of 8 books have their new covers! I hope to get Discord’s Nightmare, and A Broken Redeemer published too, which will have all of them done!
More book news!
Anthology #1
“Where Myths Walk”, my very first anthology release, Now has a cover!!! This book will be on sale, through amazon from September 30th and December 31st. 11 self-published authors (including me) have each written a short story about a mythical creature. All proceeds for this book will go to the Wounded Warriors Project!
Warning: each story will contain explicit scenes of a sexual nature, only one is implied, and it’s not mine. I will provide the link on my socials, and here in the Newsletter, after it is published.
Next up for Beta Reading:
Beta Reading Signups for Chaos Theory are Open until September 1st! Beta Reading will start September 20th, and end on October 18th, which is 2 weeks before the release of An Angel Ensnared, because I would like it finished before the book packing for Preorders of AAE!
WARNING: this book has MAJOR spice (aka steamy/graphic/romantic scenes between two consenting adults)! It's also got gore, death, vulgar language, a “gentlemen’s club”, and lots of snark! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! ARC sign ups go up around
Thanks for getting this far! Here’s a Teaser for Chaos Theory chapter 2!
“Doesn’t it bother you that people want you, but you don’t want anyone else?” she (Zamina) asked.
“No. I’ve only been attracted to two Angels,” I confessed, and wished I hadn’t let it slip. The first was my soulmate, the one that betrayed me, and the second was *redacted*... I hadn’t voiced it because I wasn’t sure how it would affect our relationship. I still wasn’t sure if it was real, or if I was just so lonely and touch starved... Zamina tilted her head at me.
“Two?” she asked, and I groaned.
“We don’t have time for Therapy. We have to get to the club,” I said, grabbing her hand and teleporting down to the kitchen so I could grab something to eat. It wasn’t good for me to go on door duty without eating anything.
“You’re in love,” she said as I let go of her hand. I cursed the fact that she’d gained the ability to see relationship lines from one of her many conquests...
“Maybe, but now is not the time to talk about my non-existent love life,” I said.
Art Feature:
Another picture from An Angel Ensnared, I’ll be doing a lot of them as the preorder date and the autumn approaches. Only 96 days left until Release day! This picture features Kalista and Rex in a rather adorable moment after the Valentines Double Date from two weeks ago.
Reminder:
FOR A LIMITED TIME, you can get all 8 new covers for 25% off, and you can preorder them until the 1st! The Special will run until August 18th, which is my dad’s birthday. Anyone who preorders will be entered into a giveaway to win a FREE Chaos Theory T-shirt! (pictured below or to the left) Currently, only one person (THANK YOU DEE) has taken me up on this offer!
Books that are preordered will be shipped after I receive them, which will probably end up being in mid-August possibly early September.
As a thank you for ordering from my site, when I send over the tracking number, you’ll receive a 25% off coupon to use on any item in my shop, which means you could save it for the Angel Ensnared Preorder when it opens on September 15th😉.
Thanks for reading!
