Back in the groove
After taking so much time off from blogging it's time to get back to it. When you have to write a book, social media, and try to run a household it can be time consuming. I let the blogging fall to the wayside. That probably wasn't a smart idea, but none the less it was something I had to give up for a while.
That being said, I'm starting this new year off with a great mentality and wanting to move forward. This blog is where I discuss every thing. Literally. Not just about the books, but life in general. Today we shall talk about one of my favorite subjects. Music. (Didn't shock ya, did I? Haha.)
When I write I listen to music, when I sit at my desk, I listen to music, when I do anything.. I listen to music. That's a lot of listening to music. In our house, we listen to music constantly. It's something that runs in our blood you could say. From the time I was a young child, I sang in front of people. (That doesn't happen now, but I will burst out into random song for no reason. That's always fun with the kids.They don't think so, but it makes me happy.) Then I did choir for many years... So music is just something I do you could say. On this blog, I've promoted many bands, many Indie bands, and music that people don't know very well. It's something I have prided myself in, due to the fact, that I'm an indie author.
While that all being said, it's hard sometimes to find a song that goes along with the books. The playlists take a lot of time to make too. I'm always looking for songs to describe what's happening in each chapter whether happy or sad or often angry with a splash of dark. The last book in the Charming Series is going to be one that I have avoided writing, but now look forward to.
When my ideas became a reality (to publish a book) honestly, I never thought how the books would end. Somewhere inside of me I just knew that it would. Today, I go back into what I call "writing mode." This means, I try to tune the world out, and focus. (That's easier said than done if you want the truth.)
There's a band that I fell in love with some time back... They've been mentioned here before, but they have a new EP out that worked so well for the start of the book, that I asked if I could use it. (They said Yes, and I was like a kid in a candy store. Haha.)
This song is the lyric video, and hopefully it gives some insight into how maybe the book will start. It's time to close the chapter (I like puns, what can I say? LOL) on the Charming Series. Here we go! One last ride and it's going to be hell, but some way, some how, it's going to come to an end...
Without further ado, I give you the first song on the playlist of the final book in the Charming Series.
RUN WITH IT- As always if you love the song or like the band please give them a like or share or a follow.
Thank you for letting me talk all my nonsense.
Have a great one!
Peace, Love, and All that Jazz- Dee King

Just a little something to start your Monday......
Alright, alright, alright.. (My best Matthew McConaughey voice there) We have made a video for Charmed Destiny. Now, if this works.. I am crossing my fingers, but I am so excited to share this. This was a big collaboration of efforts.
Two Indie Bands let me use their songs for the video. Choosing the songs were easy, though. I love both of these songs and these bands. The Shameless Pursuit and Ships Have Sailed let me use their tunes and I couldn't thank them enough!
The video is to tell you a little of the newest book to the Charming Series. I wanted to tell just enough that maybe others would be excited to see where the story is headed. It's very different from the first one. Hopefully, that's a good thing.
Well, without further ado.. I give you the video for Charmed Destiny!

So much, so little...
Oops.. I missed playlist Wednesday, but I had a good reason. I finally finished writing the second book of the Charming Series.
That's right, it's finally finished. Now, onto edits, book covers, the list goes on, but the book is finished. I am hoping to publish it very soon!
I was looking for more songs for the book.. I found one that I fell in love with.
If only for now- by Pop Evil.
This song just made sense to me. It also reminded me of a particular part in the book. I want to share the song with you guys today.
"If only for now.. So if you lay here with me now, I promise the stars won't make a sound.. If you stay with me just for a while."
I think those are the chorus lyrics, please don't quote me, because I could be wrong.
There isn't an official video but I did find a video that I could at least share the song with you. If you remember this story is from Sebastian's point of view. Like I have said I am not even sure this book is wrote well from a guy's point of view.. Well, because I am not a guy. But, I really wanted to tell the story from his point of view so you could see Selene through his eyes. I got quite a bit of "flack" about Selene being particular ways. I wanted to change peoples perspective of her. The Charming Series is based loosely on my life and many other books I have loved. I added twists and turns in this book. I hope that everyone enjoys this one.
Back to the matter at hand.. The song. Here is the video. Hope you enjoy!

Tame the dragon
That phrase about "taming your inner dragons" exactly what does that mean? Does it mean conquer your fears? Does it mean listen to your inner voice? I do not know what it means to everyone, but for me this would be about overcoming my fears. As my book is getting ready to be published, all of my fears are front and center.
When I started this venture, I honestly thought I would never have the courage to go through with it. I knew I would finish the book, but I figured that I would never tell anyone. Then it started to become where I wanted to share the story with other's just to see what they thought. Next thing you know, here I am, writing two blogs, running multiple social media outlet's, and enjoying every minute of it. I will be facing the big FEAR very very soon! Once the book is published, that's all FOLKS! It will be out for the entire world to read.. I, of course, am my own worst critic. I feel that I should be, nothing is perfect. I have yet to find that one perfect thing.. so mine will be no different.
My question today is Have you faced your FEARS? If not? Let's do this together, shall we?!

Welcome back
Hello there, I thought I would write today on my blog that got all this started. I miss you, so this post is for you, my readers. I would like to catch you up on all my latest news.... Let's begin shall we?
Okay, let's see, the book is finished! I am in the process of editing the book as we speak, and my first reader is reading my book. It's exciting to see and hear how other's like your work. Of course, not everyone is going to like it, let's be reasonable here. Also, people are going to be cruel. I am prepared for that also!
Let's talk about the book for a moment.. I added quite a bit as I have been editing. I was not wanting to add certain parts, so that I could add those into the second book of the series, but I had feedback asking questions about character's. I gave in.. What? You may have done that too? I will tell you, there is some romance, a murder, a choice, and learning to cope with life as it is thrown Selene's way. (Main character) If you are a female this book will probably be more for you, although I have heard some guy's may like it, but if we are being serious, I am not sure I know too many guy's who read romance novels. IF you are one of them, Thank you!!
I only have one song for this post..
City of Angels- by 30 seconds to Mars (Jared Leto) has an awesome voice! Check them out!
I will also try to keep up with this blog, as much as I do my other! See you all soon!

Tattoo
This picture will have numerous meaning's in my book. What do you think about this? What does it make you think of? An anchor is something that holds you in place while you are on a boat in the water. What if it had more meaning to someone then just that? What if it was in reference to someone you loved? What if it was there way of saying that you were there anchor? Would you feel honored? Do you want to be somebody's anchor in this life?
