Excited!!!

              Tomorrow there will be a surprise posted to my blog! A video! The video will show you my book in pictures so to speak. This will be the first of many new items I will be adding. I am excited to share this with you all. The name of my book, and the main character will be revealed. I will also be adding some new music to playlist. I am taking requests so to speak?
       I also plan on introducing myself, and where you can find me. Via Facebook/Twitter... I always try to answer everyone back. Working on this book of mine is probably the hardest, yet most fun I have had. I will be doing interviews with some up and coming new authors too. So stick with me, the adventure has just begun.

Storms Raging

    Yesterday I was not feeling very well. Today, I am feeling back to my old self! I am not sure that is a bonus for most, but at least I have my thought process back. Today I will have 2 blog posts as I usually try to do. This is my first entry for today, and I keep thinking about the weather. We are expected to have a possibility of severe weather. That always gets me excited. You may be thinking why? Well, tomorrow I will go into a little about myself, but I grew up in Tornado Alley. For most, the weather, the severe weather makes them nervous. I just do not feel that. I get excited. Now, that being said, I do not ever want anyone to be harmed or hurt. That is the last thing anyone should want. I just like the anticipation process. This will play a part in my book. I love a good storm, but I like it better if you know what a storm feels like. Example. Have you ever been so mad that you feel like a storm is raging inside of you? Well, sometimes you have to release all of that. It may hit like a tornado, but you still had to let it out. Afterwards, you pick up the debris, and start a new day. This is life. For every action there is a reaction. Let your actions speak loud. Live your life as you seem fit. Let the storms roll in, and roll out. Feel the power you have in your own hands. Use them for the greater good. Everyone has a story. Are you going to just let the storm inside brew or are you going to let it out, and start a new day? BE STRONG! Be yourself, and as above, let your storm out! Your story isn't finished just yet!!

Tattoos

Tattoo's can really speak volumes...

                                               Often we see something on someone and we think to ourselves that is cool.
Maybe you think "I could never do that?" or maybe you think "Are they crazy? I would never do that!"
Either way, a lot of the time we wish we had the courage to do something, but we do not. You sit by watching everyone else, while here you are dreaming of what you want. When do you/me decide to take the leap? When do you say today is the day? Well, let today be that day. Don't let someone stop you from doing something you feel passionate it about! We may have people who will say "You can't do that" or "I can not believe they did that!" BUT who cares what others think. You have to find that goal, and reach for it. It's like a tattoo. People will say whatever they want, but if you love it, then that's all that matters!! So you be you! GO! Go reach for that GOAL! No matter how big or small!

This is the first teaser photo!!

                                              The first teaser picture for my book
Today, I am sharing the first teaser photo with you all! My readers! This is a scene created from my book. It may not look like much at the moment, but there is a lot in this picture. Does it have you guessing what does this mean? Well, good! The flowers are fire and ice rose's. Which could be important?  The home is of a character. Not the same character that you heard the play list from, but a different character. When I had started to write this story I was unsure of what the home of a main character would look like. With the help of my dear friend, this is the image she created for the book to start to come to life. This may or may not be the title, please remember this is a teaser photo. 
  Now, y'all know that there was a song that I was listening to during this. BUT this time I played 2 songs! 
 Higher Love- James Vincent McMorrow
 Crystallize- Lindsey Stirling

                        Thanks for viewing my blog!!! You guys ROCK!

Playlist Tuesday

                                    Who inspired me to write a book........

                       Let's be real today. Everyone has someone that has inspired them in their lives. Today, I want to share my inspiration as an author. Rachel Caine. She is the author of the Weather Warden Series, and The Morganville Vampires series. I had the opportunity to meet Rachel at the RT Convention this past year in Kansas City, MO. I, (the dork that I am) started crying like a pathetic nerd. I literally broke down in front of this woman from excitement. Now, let me say this, before taking the courage to do that I had just met Richelle Mead, Veronica Roth, and was working for the infamous Lora Leigh that day, but meeting Rachel I became a blubbering idiot. Now, let me back this up. Meeting the authors that day was truly a memorable day for me. Truly. I had held it together with the others, and had acted professional. Well, as professional as I could, but when I had the chance to walk to her table. I just started crying. Like a baby. It was embarrassing. I am a grown woman, and I hear I was crying. Well, needless to say, she was amazing. After that day I had started thinking that maybe I could take the leap and finally write down some of the stories in my head. So, here we are. I have a book that is half way done, and I am excited to see my work become a reality. I can only hope that I can inspire someone to live their dreams as I am trying to. The way that Rachel had inspired me. One day can change your life, and hopefully that one day for you is soon. OR maybe that day has happened for you, and your living your dream daily. 
  
         On the back of Rachel Caine's books are here playlist. We all know by now, that I love music. I wanted to give you guys the sneak peek of one of the characters in my book. Here is his playlist.
