WIP Wednesday

Life…

So my dad was on a ladder on top of scaffolding, something he would kick our asses for doing, and he fell. He broke a lot of bones and has been through two surgeries now and has so much metal in him that he could be mistaken for a cyborg. His rib surgery alone took 8 hours because all of the ribs on one side were fractured. One of his lungs was punctured and they needed to clean the bone fragments from it. But it gets better, he broken ribs on the other side too. His pelvis was broken. His clavicle and his scapula were also fractured.

Good thing he didn’t bruise his brain–we already know that wasn’t working since he put a ladder on top of scaffolding.

Needless to say, I’ve not got much done because I’m all sorts of a mess. My family is on the other side of the country and we are trying to figure out if I’m flying out to gather my sister and bring her out here with me while my dad recoups. My dad and sister are like two cats in a bag they aggravate one another. If she comes out here then they can both relax and appreciate one another.

All this said… if you suddenly see a catastrophic fall with epic surgery pop up in JONAH I’m just writing what I know. 😆

This week’s Featured author is Kelsey Ketch and her new release Bly!

Title: Bly
Author: Kelsey Ketch
Genre: Contemporary, Fantasy, New Adult
Release Date: September 22, 2022

I left the United States to find inner peace. Instead, I find myself confronting a malicious ghost.

Astyr Salt is a spiritual and emotional empath who moved to England with the intent to forget about a traumatic, supernatural event that occurred during her freshman year of college. However, when she takes a spiritual cleansing assignment in a haunted country home in Essex, she is isolated with all her own pent-up emotions.

These emotions energize the ghosts inhabiting the country home, helping them draw their own tragedies to the surface. Searching for the truth, Astyr is forced to relive the past. And the deeper she dives into the country home’s horrific history, the more the intertwined memories place her in the path of an evil and demented predator.

A blend of contemporary fantasy, horror, and mystery, Bly is inspired by Henry James’s classic novella, The Turn of the Screw.

WIP Wednesday – How To Get Inspired

So no other way to say it.

WRITERS BLOCK!!!

Kill me now.

JONAH is the second time I’ve been novelly challenged. The first time it happened, I moved on and wrote RAIDEN in one week, but that isn’t a luxury I have right now. I have to find inspiration in this clusterfuck that I call JONAH. Luckily while at Books At The Beach, I was around other authors much more experienced than me and one of them blessed me with a suggestion that I’m taking to heart. I’m reading RAIDEN and TRACE to get a sense of Jonah’s voice and where Lizzy and he are in their story.

Thanks for all the advice, those authors I spoke with, your knowledge is invaluable.

Also, The Powers That Be bundle is coming out!

GABRIEL

No one who had met Michaela Beauchamp could come away from it unscathed. She was a shrew–argumentative, crass, and the focus of all my wet dreams. I loved to hate her. We were at war and I was determined to win. I didn’t want her to just go away, I wanted to watch her fine ass as she went in that direction.

MICHAELA

Whoever thought Gabriel Langdon was more than a pretty face never met the douchecanoe.

Author and Reader Events, Author Events

Books At The Beach Was Awesome!

Last weekend was Books At The Beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida. I had a great time but in retrospect, did not take that many photos. I failed the photo boss.

The schedule was incredibly convenient for authors and attendees. Thursday was author panels. I took some time to find an incredible vegan restaurant called Golden Dinosaurs in Gulfport, and I attended John Stamp’s Law Enforcement talk. After that, I went to Sherrilyn (Kenyon) McQueen’s panel. Oh my God! She was so full of advice and tidbits about writing and publishing that I won’t share with you because what happened in that room, stays in that room. Sorry, Charlie.

WIP Wednesday – Jonah’s a jerk

I’m still struggling with this manuscript. Won’t lie, I just don’t have the asshat, Jonah’s voice. I’m so ready to can him and write someone else’s book. But, in the meantime, I do have some images that I’m using for inspiration.

That’s what I have for you this week, two of my inspiration images.

New Release, Somnolence, Trace

TRACE IS HERE!

Byali | On September 06,22 | 0 Comment

It’s release day! I’ve waited all summer for this! I’ve been getting great feedback on this book. So excited.

It is, however, written by Miss Ali and I will always one-click her work. She’s that good and the journey Trace and Vivi take us on is messy, yo. Messy. It is also beautiful, musical, truthful, traumatic. Just. Like. Life.
Booknook Reviews

I enjoyed this continuation of the series with Trace and Vivi.

Featuring Author Kelly Seibold

Welcoming author Kelly Seibold and her new release Love Me.

Title: Love Me (The Healing Series)
Author: Kelly Seibold
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 12, 2022

If only she’d stop ghosting him, he’d make her see they were meant to be.

Matt Adams had Elizabeth Woods once, and he wants her again. With her past hangups and insecurities about being older than him hanging over their heads, all he needs to do is make her understand he’s not like the other guys that have let her down.

He’s too young. If only she could get her heart to understand.

Elizabeth Woods has never let attraction rule her head until now. After getting tipsy at a work party and getting hot and heavy with the sexy, young physical therapist in a supply closet, no less, she vowed that would be the end of it and kept her distance. But when he shows up in the ER injured on her shift and can’t drive home, she can’t help but take care of him. She didn’t realize sex would be part of the regimen nor the two lines that appear weeks later.

Will he be the next one to break her heart, or will he put it back together?

Also, catch up with all your favorites from books 1-6 of The Healing Series.
