Hi Everyone!!
Thank you, so much for sticking around! I am so thankful for all of you!! I thought I would give you an update about what I had been up to in the last month. (I think that was my last post?) I really am trying to keep caught up on this blog, but it seems almost impossible. There is so much that an author needs to do, and it can be overwhelming.
Things I do on a daily basis: Tweet about my book, and retweet fellow authors. I also like and favorite tweets to show support.
Facebook: Personal updates on my personal page, as well as on my author page, 3 book pages, and publisher page.
Market: Promote my book to facebook groups, or on various websites online.
Take care of my family, clean my house, and make food..... and then there is sleep, and don't forget regular social interaction. If I have time after all of that, I do try to write something.
Currently on my author planet, I have just published Little Lost Girl: Part Two, Home is Where the heart is. (Cover design by Steger Productions, and my very good friend Johannus Steger)

I am currently writing Little Lost Girl THREE.. which will be the last Little Lost Girl for a little bit. I need a breather from that series. It has been cathartic to write, but it has also been painful as well.Also, here is the cover reveal for Little Lost Girl book three!! <3  (Cover design by Steger Productions, and my very good friend Johannus Steger)

(I will include the amazon link to book two at the end of this blog.) Book two talks about my stepmom and my dad's mental illness, child abuse and being tossed around. Book three will touch on losing my dad, losing my home and finally being reunited with birth mother. :) I think it is going to be the best one yet!!!
So, with that being said, here is what you look for (hopefully by January) The book is entitled "Eden's Serum" and it is about a wealthy to-do businessman, named Adam. A man who has every thing money can buy, and who is about to have something some people only dream of.
Immortality.
Only, things don't go exactly as planned. The Serum, Eden's Serum as it is called, makes him sick so to speak. So sick he knows he is not well and ends up back with his doctor who delivers the fatal news that Adam is dying. Will Adam find out who is responsible for the poison behind Eden's Serum ? Will he finally, after all this time... care about someone enough to put his own selfish desires aside?
More importantly, what happens when something so good, goes so wrong?
Find out January, in Eden's Serum! Also Check out this gorgeous cover... <3 I love it so much, another amazing design done my Steger productions:

After Eden's Serum, I am working very hard on the re-write and second edition release of Redemption of the Changed ( my first published work.) It is being reworked to include hand drawn artwork by my cover designer. In fact, the entire three book series will have hand drawn covers, as well as hand-drawn sketches for the interiors of the books. :) it is going to be fun. I am hoping to release all three of these next year, in succession. :0) here is the hand drawn design for Redemption Of the Changed: Book 1

So, Eden and Redemption books 1 and 2 are done, they just need editing. Eden is available for pre-order with exclusive artwork by the designer. I also have some children's books in the works, just waiting on drawings for those and I have several other projects I am working on as well. Thank you so much for letting me share these with you!! I just love you all!!
I am so thankful for my graphic designer Johannus Steger and my editor Richard De'Amorelli, both of which have helped me to get this far. <3

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING APART OF MY LIFE AND BEING SO SUPPORTIVE!! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!!! <3

THE DRAGON TATE AND THE LAND OF PUBLISHING, A NOT SO FAIRY TALE ABOUT VANITY PUBLISHING.

Once upon a time there was a lonely writer-knight who fought many battles of the book and indeed she conquered them all. Then she met a beautiful dragon named Tate Publishing. The Dragon promised her many riches and gold, more than she could ever imagine. Led astray by the dragon’s beauty, she gave him money to go to his beautiful land of publishing. The writer-knight toiled day and night, working for the dragon in his land. She was willing to do whatever it took to earn the dragon’s riches and used the tools he gave her to work, assured that they were the best tools in all the land. Until one day, a fellow writer-knight traveled through the land and saw her working so hard.
“Good-day fellow writing-knight! How goes it!?” He answered, his tone kind and jovial.
“It is well fellow knight, but the work is tedious and the hours are long. There is no talk of riches as I was promised. In fact, I haven’t seen the dragon since he brought me here.” She answered, her face down-trodden.
“Might I ask what about your work, and former battles?” he ventured. She shook her head.
“Good sir, I battled at the good battle of Redemption Of the Changed and succeeded. Then she lifted her tools to show him what she had worked the land with.
“Indeed, the battle of Redemption Of the Changed has been heard of far and wide, but alas, your tools are fake. They are dull, and not tended. That is why the work is so hard.
The Writer-knight was aghast. From the moment the writer-knight heard that she realized he was right. She collapsed in the field, wretchedness dripping from her eyes in the form of tears. She decided it was time to leave that land.
“Can you stay with me good sir knight Rallios? I cannot fight this battle alone.” Alas, he was gone. Never knowing how very lost and stuck she felt. She picked up her sword and dropped the blunted tools the Dragon Tate had given her. Then she gathered up her few belongings and decided to leave that horrible land full of lies and deceit. Just as she was almost away, the Dragon Tate reared its head. She realized then, how truly ugly it was, it had deceived her into coming into this awful land of  Vanity Publishing. It chained her to her spot, and the writer-knight, known as Angel, cried out for help. Her distress call went through all the land. at her very last, when she knew that the Dragon Tate would come back and gobble her up, an army came riding it with the dawn.
Her call had been heard!! The great knight K. Arthur was the first to show his head, his expertise on dragons quite extraordinary. He offered her his services and knowledge in taking them down. Then right behind him, another knight appeared. Known throughout the land as Sir R. De’Amorelli… her offered her the tools, the right tools to fight her way out of the land and break her chains with the evil dragon Tate, in this deceitful land of vanity publishing.
The Lady Angel was able to escape the evil Dragon Tate and ride off and escape, but not before seeing another Knight being dragged in.
“I say Knight-writer, what is your name?” She called out.
“I am known as Sir T. Allen, and I fought the battle of Apocalypses Orphan.” Sir Tim had a larger sword than she had and she wondered what brought him here.
“Sir Tim, why have you followed the Dragon here? Did you give him your riches?”
“No, fellow knight-writer. He has brought me to this land to see for myself the riches that await.” The lady Angel approached him,
“listen to me fellow knight-writer, it is a trap. If you pay him for the riches he promises, you will never see those riches again, please trust me! I am escaping this land, come, let us journey away together.”
“Yes, I have been told as such from the great R. De’Amorelli. I suppose I shall away from this place.”
With that, the lady Angel, and her fellow knights journeyed out of the poisonous land of Vanity Publishing, never to look back. Along the way, she has met many friends and traveled to many lands. None stays in her mind with such poison as the land of Vanity Publishing. It is said this day, that she has since fought other battles, smaller ones known as the Little Lost Girl, book 1, battle. With the help of her fellow knight-writers, she was able to conquer it well. She is currently off fighting the battle of Little Lost Girl: book 2, and hopes to be home in a couple weeks. Until then she finds her joy and riches in the land known as Createspace, in the great kingdom of Amazon.
The End.
