Birthdays..

Birthdays are a day we celebrate that we were born. Birthdays are usually pretty great. We receive gifts, we get cake, (if we like cake), and then if we are lucky, everyone is nice to you because, well, it's your birthday. It's a day for others in your life to tell you that they appreciate that you were born. I like birthdays. Not mine most years, I just like the idea of birthdays. Your probably wondering why would I talk about this? Well, today is my oldest daughter's birthday, and I just had one not too long ago. In my newest book, Enchanted Legacy, the main character, Bridget has a birthday that could also be the day she dies. What a twist. 

No one wants that, right? I mean just to think of death is scary in itself, but then to think you could die on the same day you were born? That's just too weird. May be your birthday is today? Or next week, and your wanting something great for your special day. This is a blog post for some of you then. Happy Birthday. Thank you for being you. 

Sometimes we don't hear those words. We don't hear how wonderful others  think we are, when the ones who are in our lives, think that every single day. Okay, may be not every day, but for the most part. In honor of birthdays, and in honor of my oldest daughter, I will post a new teaser. I haven't shared who the book was wrote for yet, but I am guessing soon, people will start to put it together. 

I wanted to share a story that would have a message when it was all said and done. That would be the best part, for me, if people walk away thinking of that message. So, without further ado, I leave you with the newest teaser for Enchanted Legacy. (Bridget's story)

There will be blood...

I thought today I would share a new teaser with you all from my new book, Enchanted Legacy, due out in the Spring. Speaking of Spring it reminds me of how warm it is then. Today, with temperatures plummeting into the negatives, it's Spring I am dreaming of. Stay warm out there folks, and if you happen to live somewhere where it's nice and warm. You are lucky. 

Now, back to the teaser photo, I have shared. This book is going to be different than what people are expecting from me. This is a dark, fantasy, novel. 

My first stand alone novel, as it is. I wanted to write a book that reminded me of one my favorite love stories, yet a tragic love story. Romeo and Juliet. 

This is my take on that concept. 

No one will ever compare to Shakespeare and they shouldn't try. That's why I wrote this. I wanted something different, I wanted something that you could sink your teeth into, so to speak. 

I wanted to write true feelings on how sometimes the world isn't always on our side, and we have to make our own paths. 

We have to make our lives for the better. 

Not letting others bring us down, pull us down, and overall, learn who we want to be. I often find myself wondering why everything goes wrong at once, or why when everything seems right, something goes wrong. 

How do we overcome the shit that gets thrown at us. Everyone has a story. Everyone has the ability to fight for what they want, what they believe and fight to be accepted for who you are. This book also has a character in it, I became very fond of. 

As I started writing this story I wanted this character. He had to be in a book. It may not be what people want, and I may take quite a bit of slack for writing a character like this, but I didn't care. 

I hope that when Spring does arrive you will fall in love with this book as much as I have. You may even recognize yourself in this one. Fight for what you want, don't let others try to sway you into being something your not. BE YOU! Believe in yourself, and the power to be awesome just the way you are. See you on the dark side, my friends..

Let's Discover

Today we are discussing the book, Beautiful Creatures. This book is a series. I read this book, a few years back. I really thought at the time it may have been a younger read than I was use to. I ended up really liking the story, and loved the movie. The story is of a girl who is witch, and at the age of seventeen she will chose light or dark magic. This story was very cool. I feel in life we chose to be good or bad at times. We are always having to evolve. We have to make choice's every single day that effect us. We may think we have made a good choice, and then we find out that we may not have made the best choice. Life is full of choice's, and how we deal with them is what makes us who we are. The book, the move, is good! The love story within a girl's fight for just wanting to be a normal girl, is a story we all can relate too. What is normal though? I think we put to much pressure on ourselves to be "normal". Normal should be whatever you are, and whoever you chose to be. Not what society claims to be normal. I hope you will give the book a try, and may be even the movie? Talk to you soon- Dee King
