Something funny...

Sometimes we just need a weekend. A couple of days to re-cooperate. Anyone else feeling this?

It's A-LIVE!!!

               This is the first actual week that Enchanted Legacy is live. It's been an exciting ride so far.
               We did the giveaway, and that was lots of fun... and I have more giveaways coming up.

I told you all about how and why I wrote Enchanted Legacy, but I never said how much the book meant to me. When I sat down and started typing out the story that I was playing in my head, it was way more darker than I had thought it was going to be. It was a story that from my perspective was a story that many could relate too. The funny friend, the different type of friend, the family that always wanted you to do things their way, the crush of your life turning into love. I haven't really discussed how the character Van was born. I haven't said how is my gay character. I knew that by writing a gay character I was taking a chance. In a world that doesn't accept everyone to love freely quite yet, this was a risk I knew I had to take. I never came out and fully said he was gay, I just wrote him in a way that you would know. I wanted people to love him, immediately. He was a supporting character, and I just wanted him to be someone who people could love. I hope that people will.

In Ireland this week, they are the first country to accept gay marriage. That is a huge step in the right direction! I will never understand peoples hate for something that is truly about love. Everyone searches for the one that they love, and so what if it happens to be someone of the same sex. Are they hurting you? Did they cause you physical pain? No. They just chose to love differently than you do.
We could discuss how people see this as wrong and right forever. I truly don't think it's my place to tell someone who they can love. I sometimes can't fathom that. I can't imagine someone telling me I couldn't love the man I love. Why would you even care?

I am not gay, but that doesn't mean that I don't know about love. Isn't that what we are looking for in this life anyways. Love, and to be loved?

I am proud of Ireland. I am proud to be Celtic. What a way to show that people are human, not just some slave to the man.. Ya know? Good for them!

You may disagree with how I feel, and that's okay too.. Let's agree to disagree.

Love doesn't see color, Love doesn't see size, Love doesn't see gender, LOVE sees you. Love sees your purest of hearts, and isn't that what we all should see. Just see the good in the ones around us? Of course, there is evil out there. Without a doubt, but that doesn't mean you have to be. Stand up for equality, for love of one another.

Now, that being said, it doesn't mean that everyone is going to get along.. That's entirely different. I just mean as a whole, look for the good, not always the bad.. Look at yourself before you begin to judge others.


I hope that when you read Enchanted Legacy that you like Van too. That he captures you in a way that you feel is a positive light. I also know by writing this, some of you are now re-thinking of reading the book, That's okay too.. The story is a romance between a young girl, and a young man who have to fight to stay together, and alive. If that has you curious, then you should check it out. Not everything is black and white, there are gray areas too!

Peace- Love- And all that Jazz- Dee King

Finally..

This has been a rough week. We went from the book going live, to the book being pulled. It was crazy. BUT after we got everything worked out, it's now available again. Whew. What a relief ... It was very hard to try to tell people that you are sorry, they just bought a book they couldn't even open. Like I said, it was finally all worked out, and we are good to go. When I wrote Charming Selene, I really just thought I wanted to tell my story in a very different way. Then as I started to think of another idea, Enchanted Legacy came to me in a rough draft type form. I knew I wanted to tell a different type of story, and I wondered if people would read it. As I wrote the story and the characters became so real to me. Real teenagers that had to live in a cursed world, and how would they deal with all of it.. on top of being in love. When my beta readers read the story, I was asked if I had really wrote the book. At first I was taken back, but then I realized that person thought it was good. That's when I got excited. I felt like I was finding my way through this book. I was in a dark place, and I wrote it out.. Tonight we are doing a giveaway on Facebook. It seems like just yesterday to me I was wondering if I would ever have anyone read the book, and now I am doing a giveaway for it. Life is funny that way.

I talk a lot about fulfilling your dreams, and how to reach for the stars.. I feel like I have done that. I want to give up like a hundred times a week, I won't lie. I don't even know if I connect with people enough sometimes, but then I think.. Yea, I like what I do, and I like the people whom I have met via internet. I have been lucky. I never have anyone tell me they hate my books or tell me they don't like me. I always wait for that shoe to drop so to speak. I appreciate all of the kind words, the amount of love I feel from people. It gives me hope that their are others out there just like me. People who want to just lives their lives, be happy, and share the love they have with others.
Now, of course, we all have our days, but for the most part.. I am genuine, and the people are too.

I missed the playlist yesterday, and I know.. I know that was no good. Due to a family member going into the hospital and my book issues, I just didn't have it in me. So, for today, I will share one last song for Enchanted Legacy. (Although, I typically find songs for the book all the time..) I will share this one. I used music quite a bit in the book. There is a part that one of the main characters hums a song.. I could never really think of what that song was, till I finished the book. I will share that with you all today. I hope you will join us on facebook tonight. The event is The Sassy Witches Present Enchanted Legacy. It should be fun, and I have a lot to give away.

NOW, for the song....

Ellie Goulding - Bittersweet

I know the song is from Twilight, but the song worked magically well. 

She has such a sweet, innocence, about her voice. 

I hope you enjoy the book, and enjoy today's song. Peace, Love, and all that jazz -Dee King-

It's Playlist Day!

 Hey, Hey, Hey! How you guys doing? We are almost to that beloved day. Friday. Yes, yes. The weekend! I know I am pretty excited about this. I have a little something up my sleeve, and truly hoping it all works out. As soon as I know if everything is all good, I will tell you! BUT we all know we came here today to see what music I was going to share today. Unfortunately, I haven't found any new Indie bands to share with you all. I still love the ones who have shared with me, and who I have promoted. so, don't forget about those guys. They have some kick a** tunes!

For today, I thought since I do write romance novels, maybe I should share some of the fun parts of the books. Not so sad, or depressing, but some of the times where you find love in the oddest of places. We all have good days with the ones we love. Of course, we have the bad, but we all have the good, and those replace the bad moments most of the time.

For today, I am going to share some songs from Enchanted Legacy, and from the new playlist for Charmed Destiny. They are more upbeat, and kind of make you happy. Let's jump in, shall we..

Sugar, by Maroon 5.. That song is just a good song about kissing. I mean, let's be real.. Everyone wants to be kissed every once and a while. Maybe not by a stranger, but for sure someone we love.

Geronimo by Sheppard is a great upbeat song. I find it to bring up the spirits if you are down.

Heros by Alesso featuring Tove Lo.. It just reminds me of a beautiful love song.. About people becoming hero's. You can be a hero. Just be yourself, and that alone will make you a hero in my eyes. This song fits in perfect for Charmed Destiny.

That's all I have for this installment of Playlist Wednesday. I shall see ya on the flip side my friends.

P.S. Look forward to the upcoming news!!   -Dee King-
