Day Two...

The newly revised version is for FREE this week only! 

I truly hope that you read it, give me some feedback, and let the adventure begin!

It's DONE!

Finally for the first time I feel that the Charming Series is on the right track. The first book, Charming Selene has been revised and basically re-written. Some where along the way as I read the book and began editing this horrible thing I found myself reliving the past. This series in a form is my real life that I just added in other worlds and made a not so believable story into one that could be. I never wanted to write my real past because that seemed too sad at times. These books were my way of fighting back when I couldn't and my way of fighting for the truth to be told. My truth. Characters were changed and added to not be so much like my life, but enough that the truth was in there. Everyone writes from some where within themselves. This series is that for me.

When you start writing a book, you never know how that is going to go... You have an idea of how you want it to start or possibly end, but it's that middle section that you start wondering if what you're doing is even making sense. As I read what I had wrote the first time, it was pretty awful. This isn't me being hard on myself, it was bad. Words that didn't make sense were in there, and it was wrote like a play not a novel. By the time I wrote the second book in the series, I knew that I didn't want it to be like that again, so when re-writing Charming Selene, I took the time to make it more like the second book. This time I was going to write a book that I would want to read.... Hopefully I accomplished that.

Since it's holiday time I wanted to give back some how. I decided to make all three of my books free at one point during this month. It's just something I wanted to do. I know people enjoy reading and I wanted to hopefully help them in finding a story that would put them into another world for a little while. Sometimes escaping reality is the only place we can find our reality. That probably didn't make much sense and maybe I'm just talking to myself... But in the end I want to find a world that isn't always so cold and hateful,  world where love does conquer all....

Hopefully you will check out the new version of Charming Selene. It's been a rough ride, but it's done, finally. Thank you for always taking the time to read my little blog here. It's much appreciated.

It's LIVE!

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 Live...

 Today on Kindle.. It's LIVE! Enchanted Legacy it's LIVE... Go grab your copy now.. Then join us on our giveaway on Facebook on Thursday. Let's have some FUN!

It's been a minute...

  I apologize for not being on my blog like I should be, but I have been working hard on some new projects.

All will be revealed very soon! I am so thrilled with the response of Charming Selene. I can not wait to share with everyone what I have up my sleeves so to speak. New projects are in the works, and in October we are preparing for some big NEWS! I know many people are asking many questions, and I will answer some of those very soon. I will start to give a little insight into what I have been doing. One, writing. Two covers. Yes, I said COVERS. I never truly loved the cover to Charming Selene when it was finally released. So, she is getting a make over. I know that's a big secret I am sharing. I always promised that my blogger fans would be the first to know what I was doing, and that's a promise I have kept. That is one big surprise though. Two, I will have another book out at the beginning of the new year, and it is not what you think. I am excited about that.

I often find that some days are harder to keep pushing myself in this journey. It would be the easy way out to say I am done, and throw my hands up in the air. I do not plan on doing that! I won't quit. Regardless if my books never sale anymore, I will keep doing what I love. I do love sharing stories with people. If you have not checked out my book, feel free. It's on AMAZON.com right now.. and available on any kindle. I look forward to hearing from you.
Peace, love, and all that jazz! -Dee King-
