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.

It's Playlist Wednesday

     This week is flying by.. Sorry, I didn't fill you all in on Monday, but busy bee seemed to be my name. There is a lot happening in my little world right now, I am trying to play catch up. Today, I am going to "catch" you all up in my world. We have music coming out EVERYWHERE! We have bands people have never heard, that deserve the break. I finished the cover for Charmed Destiny. The next book, in my Charming Series, and I have been enjoying the beautiful weather. I am going to try to post some pictures of the bands or their videos for you. I won't be sharing the new cover quite yet, but that is coming soon, too.

We are just going to jump right in, and hope for the best. Haha.

First of all I have a couple of new bands, that have really rocked the Indie world.
Alice Sweet Alice, has really gone beyond the call for their fans. They have a great song, that I listened to, and now have all their songs downloaded on my computer. Now, another band that has a sweet, kick ass, sound, is The Sun Pilots.
Loved their sound, they have an alternative edge that you could really get behind.. Take a listen, it was well worth it.

Kicking Sunrise, was another one that I liked, I thought the music was different, and I do like different.
This morning I had a band that sent me their music also.
(FYI I DO LOVE THIS!)
This band was pretty damn good. At first, I was like, sounds like other stuff, but then it was like, OH YES! I am digging this. They are the Bedroom Hour. Man, you have to check them out!

Now, I get bands all day asking for if they will make it into my blog.

I am not gonna lie, I don't like everyone of them. Some just aren't my cup of tea per say, but I do enjoy getting to find music, and sharing it with people. It's pretty awesome. I am a nobody as far as the MUSIC world goes, but if I can give back, then hell yes I will.

Music is my muse, and it helps me feel when I write. Being able to have a lot of different music also captures what I want to write. For every song there is a feeling.. and for every feeling, there is a song.

With Enchanted Legacy I went a darker route, do to the fact that the book, is a dark, romance, crazy, witch twisting novel. Yes, I said WITCH, and yes the main Character is a Witch.

That being said, I wanted to bring a different take on witches, and the paranormal world. There is a curse involved, and some blood shed, but what would a curse be without blood shed? Some people die, some people are murdered, and yet, some people live to tell a story. I hope that the music I have shared with you all, find you searching for the bands. Searching for why I would use them in my books. You know the game that we play by now, if you like them.. SHARE them, tell them, etc.. I have yet to find a band that hasn't been excited about someone liking their sound. So, PLEASE take a listen see what you think. Be honest, and as usual have a great day FOLKS!

I will be back tomorrow with hopefully more bands, more songs, more everything.. Till then, stay awesome! Be you! Be proud! Be yourself first and foremost!

Why do you always have to come back so fast?

 Monday... I dread that word like it's the plague or something. It reminds me of having to go back to my normal routine, and having to get caught up on everything I didn't want to do over the weekend.  Monday, you are not welcome to come so fast anymore. 

On a good note for this Monday, I am starting the countdown to publishing! That's right! I am beginning to count the days! Nerves are already freaking out, and my mind say's, YOU CRAZY! I try to tell my mind, that everything will be fine.. but we all know how the mind wonders. I have said from the beginning of this, that all I wanted was to sale like 25 books. That was all. (No, I didn't set the bar high, I knew I was a nobody, and I knew that this is a hard industry to get in..) When I publish, I will hope that the people that read Charming Selene, find that running away from your fears, and your life, sometimes we do not get that choice! We all have to take a chance at one point in our life, and I am taking mine. 

Everyone has a dream. Everyone wants to be successful. I am just humbled, by the people, the readers I have already met, and I am proud to say that dreams can come true. I also promised to share the playlist of the book with you guy's, and so far I have gave you only a couple of song's. Tomorrow as we start to count down, I will share most of it, if not all with you. There is quite a few bands, so be prepared!!

Thank you to everyone who keeps pushing, reading my blogs, and has stayed with me through this journey! I could not do it without you!



Now, on one last note..... 

If you remember we discussed the world cup. I had said that Germany was looking to be the winners of the overall WORLD CUP! I was right!! (Who would have thought, that would happen?) Congrats to Germany, for playing like a TEAM, and bringing home the WORLD CUP title! GO GERMANY!!

Alright, you guys, be prepared for tomorrow's fun playlist... Until then, 
Yours Truly,
