Something changed...

It's been a while since I have blogged, and yesterday I posted a video of my daughter sharing the reason why she wants to VLOG. Now, this summer has been a huge difference in what all has taken place, and fortunately I have been able to share in these moments with my children. Every summer I take off from writing and spend that with my girls, because it's the only time I have with them like this. Sure, there's many people who think less of me for doing this and or have an opinion, but this is all I have to say to them.. It's not your life. Being a mother is one of the greatest joys I have ever known, and if I get the chance to spend multiple days with my children, then I am taking it. I do apologize for not being on here as much as others do, but again, when you have two kids who need and want to talk to you, well, that comes first.

With all of that being said, I will be back here very shortly. There is so much worth sharing. If you didn't get the chance to watch my daughter's video I urge you to hear what she has to say. In my next blog, I will also discuss the reasons behind the video and what it means for her to have done this..

Don't get me wrong, there have been moments this summer where I have literally thought, "Just shoot me now.." On dealing with them fighting, arguing, you touched me first, etc.. But I honestly wouldn't give up all of that for nothing. Time is precious. One day they won't care about hanging out with their old mom, they won't need me like they do now, and one day all of this will be just fond memories, but I want to cherish these memories as they come.

Thank you for understanding.. Like I always say, I have the best fans/friends in the world. You do not go unseen.

Oops..

          Yesterday was April Fools Day. I decided that my prank would be no blog post. Not really.                 That's a lie. I actually, was very busy yesterday, and didn't get the chance. My bad.

Anyways, I said we would talk music and I would discuss a little of what's happening in my world. A small world, but we can discuss it none the less.

First off, we should talk about the cover reveal! WOW! This cover just grows on you as you look at it. Writing from Sebastian's point of view for the next book, Charmed Destiny, in the Charming Series, it needed to be a guy on the cover. I also didn't want to pick a male model that everyone had used, or wasn't what they pictured for their idea of Sebastian. It took me a while to think of the concept, but then I knew. A pawn. People use people all the time for their own personal gain, and for me this was going  to have to work together. Then, the cover was born. Hopefully, this is a cover of a book that makes people wonder.

It's been a unique experience writing from a male's perspective. Being how I am girl, and fairly girly to say the least, it has been fun. I like telling the story of Sebastian, to let people see the side of Selene he sees. Although, I have a few thousand more words to write, and probably some major edits, it still is the story I want to tell. Everything I write comes from somewhere that is a part of me. It's odd to make up stories to worlds you want to travel. Yet, they only exist in your mind. It's still so much fun. Hopefully, you all enjoyed the cover, and let's see how you like the next installment of the Charming Series.

I am also in edits for Enchanted Legacy. My dark fantasy novel that is due out in Spring. This book makes me nervous, yet, excites me. It was different to write such a story that would capture peoples hearts. Everyone goes through trials in their lives. I just put them into a very different idea. I enjoyed writing this one. I have been asked if there will be more. The answer is no. It's my first stand alone book, and I wanted to have just the one. Selfish it may seem, but I felt Bridget (main character) needed to stay alone, not a series, not a trilogy, just her story. It could possibly be a little of my story too. Again, I write from a place that comes within. I guess I have a dark side.

That's all about the books at this moment. We are working hard on the giveaway that will happen on my facebook page. There is SO much being given away. I never thought I would have done all this, but I am. I hope that you will join us on that day. I shall share when that is, at a later date.

Now, MUSIC!

So many bands, so little time. Then when it comes to me telling you about it, I often forget who I was going to share with you all... Because, again, so many bands, so little time. BUT today, I found some music that fits my feelings, my thoughts lately, and bands or singers that I love. We all know by now, that I have favorites. I share them almost every time. I am a big fan of those bands. I also have shared music that is Indie, that are looking for their big break. Those bands always give me hope. To know that when you start out you just want to share music with the world. Not because your label tells you to do this or do that, not because you want to make millions, but simply, to share with the world.

Today, I wanted to talk about a singer who I fell in love with.
Banks. I have spoke about her before, but I don't think many of you know her. She has a beautiful voice. Some of her songs are very sexual, but for the most part her music makes you feel alive. A song that has words that you can understand, words that you have thought.
Waiting Game, by Banks, is a great song. It's not played often on the radio, but I do love it!

Alt-J!
If you don't know this band, then you should. They released their second album recently, and has already won awards in the United Kingdom. The radio station I listen to help break this band. They stumbled upon something great. Check them out TODAY!

Phantogram. This band is just cool. A male and a female band like The Broods. Whom I adore. They have a unique sound, a great sound. I listen to them quite a bit too.

Now, you may be wondering why I never mention country music, or anything like that. Well, like the saying goes.. to each their own. Alternative music is just what I listen to. I will never tell you that I listen to everything, because that's a lie. I do listen to a lot of spotify, and radio... but usually, I listen to the same type of music. It's just the music I enjoy.

That's about all I got for today. I hope each of you have a great, and blessed weekend.
Peace, Love, and all that Jazz. -Dee King-
