TRAGIC LOVE IS LIVE TOMORROW~Here's a teaser

One more day and Tragic Love will be available for purchase. I can't believe the day is almost here. Thank you to everyone who's been championing not only Tragic Love, but Scarred love as well. Feeling so much love . Now I will leave you with another teaser. ~Enjoy!

I love you, Presley. I’m not angry or sad or disappointed. After everything that’s happened to us, the only thing I can feel is love. You are my love, my life. I've often said to myself you’re the very reason I breathe, every gasp of air that fills my lungs is put there because of you. Nothing reassured this more than the night I found you in the bathroom. When you lost your breath, I lost mine. I can’t live without you. I need you to breathe. I need your love to pump the blood through my heart, fill my lungs with air and keep me putting one foot in front of the other. ~Drake Evans, Tragic Love

Another Tragic Love Teaser

I can’t help myself, taking in as much of him as I can, I start planting little kisses to my favorite spot on his neck. He smells wonderful, with a hint of cologne and the only smell I’ve ever loved underneath, his smell. When he swings me around, my lips instantly go to his and I kiss him with so much passion my lips instantly swell up. I take my time becoming reacquainted with his tongue, taste and rhythmic dance as we rediscover each other. We haven’t said a single word, only allowing our lips to express the feelings of happiness oozing from every part of us.

I hear the deep voice of a man clearing his throat and it causes me to crack my eyes open. Our lips are still planted together when Jake comes into my line of sight. Tucked under his arm, Delilah is standing with tears in her eyes. She’s dabbing fallen tears with her white handkerchief and looking happier than I’ve ever seen her.

Drake breaks our kiss and slowly slides me down his body, planting a small kiss to the tip of my nose. Before I can fully turn to Delilah, she snatches me into her arms, squeezing me so hard it’s making it hard to breathe. I hold her back and allow the joy of this moment to take me over. My own tears begin to prick my eyes and instead of choking them back, I let them free fall down my cheeks. I love these kinds of tears; tears that come from happy moments. I haven’t cried these kinds of tears in a really long time and it feels invigorating. ~Presley Quinn, Tragic Love

Tragic Love Release in TWO WEEKS!!

“From the moment I locked eyes with hers, we've had this undeniable connection that was and will always be wicked. A love that would literally kill me if it didn't survive, but lately, could kill me if it did.” ~Drake Evans.

For Drake and Presley, life has handed them more challenges than any one person should ever face in a lifetime. Together, they've survived Presley’s captivity from her deranged uncle, but now they must learn how to live with the events that surrounded her time spent with him, while keeping the details of her rescue a secret. 

For Presley Quinn, living the last two years has been practically unbearable, constantly drowning in nightmares put there by a man responsible for the violent images continually playing in her mind. She keeps moving forward, but is barely clinging onto the edge when she’s faced with another obstacle from her past that is so unavoidable, so tragic, it threatens to break her apart—herself.

Drake will do anything to protect Presley from ever feeling pain again. His love is irrefutable. He walks side by side with her, vowing he will never let anyone harm her again. However, when an unexpected event turns Presley against everyone she’s ever loved, Drake is faced with trying to save the only woman he’s ever loved or severing the only lifeline she’s ever had—himself.

"She is a part of me—every vital thing I need to live—and with every second she keeps her lips pressed to mine, I can feel life flood through me. I've been saying Presley is the very reason I breathe and this kiss solidifies how I feel because, without her, I would be dead. It wasn't until this very moment that I knew just how much I needed her to survive." ~Drake Evans, Tragic Love~

Tragic Love Teaser #2

Happy Saturday lovely readers!  I wanted to make your weekend a happy one and give you another teaser. Keep in mind this is the unedited version. Don't forget to mark you calendars, Tragic Love goes live 11/06/2013.

Drake's POV

“Don’t! Don’t you dare act like you know nothing about this.” I begin to walk toward Delilah and at any moment I can feel my body start to really lose it.  Her eyes are drenched and she's starting to tremble as she quickly picks up on how angry I am. The sickest feeling is growing in my gut as my mind's telling me where Presley could be, but my heart doesn't want to believe it. Closing the gap between us, I grab a hold of Delilah’s arms and lightly shake her. I know she knows, but I need to hear it from her. “Where is she?” I scream in her face. 

Tragic Love Cover Shoot

Good luck to my cover designer, Sara Janis, who has a horrible job of photographing the Brazilian male model for the Tragic Love cover.

Feeling Fortunate

I'm feeling incredibly fortunate! Not only do I have great family and friends who've supported my writing career, but I have amazing editors. Thank you C&D Editing for words of encouragement and advice! You're irreplaceable!

Enjoy!

Love this song! It was playing continuously when I was writing the final scenes of Tragic Love. Gut wrenching and breathtakingly perfect!

Tragic Love Complete

I spent my entire weekend trapped in my office finishing Tragic Love and I'm so happy to say that it's done. I'm exhausted and exhilarated all in one. This was a difficult story to write-- for reasons you'll discover once you read the book, but I'm so proud of it. I found emotions in me I didn't even know existed.

The editing process now begins, but don't worry my lovely readers Tragic Love will be available in November.

Inspiration and Music

Music is such a powerful way to tell a story and many times I find myself completely lost in the song—feeling every single emotion. Inspiration for writing comes from many different sources, music happens to be one of mine. Here are some of the songs I've added to the Tragic Love playlist.  Enjoy!

The Story by 30 Seconds to Mars
You Ain't Alone by Alabama Shakes
Wicked Game by Stone Sour
Sex On Fire by Kings of Leon

Scarred Love Live on KOBO

Scarred Love is now available through KOBO and you can download for any eReader, tablet, Apple products, Android, and Blackberry devises. Check it out!

I have so much love for all my readers and I can't express enough how much I appreciate all your words of encouragement.

Tragic Love Cover Update

Model has been booked for the Tragic Love cover shoot set to happen early September. Thank you Sarah Janis for putting this altogether. You are one amazing lady!

Tragic Love Teaser #1

As promised, here is a teaser from the second book in the Sulfur Heights Series, Tragic Love. Please keep in mind this is the unedited version. Enjoy!

Teaser #1 Presley's POV

My feet start to move quickly as I make my way down through old buildings toward the bar. In a few short minutes I make my way to the parking lot and I need to stop to catch my breath. The heat is sucking all the air from my lungs, along with my guilt for what I've done. I pull open the door and I can hear Darcie screaming at Drake. Reggie is restraining his arms, pinning them behind his back. His eyes meet mine and they break all over again. I have to save him. I can't bring him down with all the ugliness growing inside of me.

I slowly walk through the bar and keep my eyes solely on his. Darcie is turning her anger to me, but I shut it down because only Drake matters in this moment. No one else. I reach into my pocket and pull the small white pill from its depths. Placing it in the palm of my hand, I show him exactly what it is and his bloodshot, drunken eyes meet mine, slowly. Reggie releases his hold on Drake allowing him to lower his arms to his sides.

"What's that?" He asks with a slurred tongue as he shrugs his shoulders, loosening them from the tension inflicted by Reggie.

"I didn't do it. I was waiting for something good to stop me, and then...there you were. You are more important to me than my own life and I can't hurt you by doing this." I whisper as I pick up the pill and place it in his sweaty hand.

His eyes look at the pill and he turns it over with his fingers in his hand. The confusion in his eyes is apparent when he studies the small white tablet. He can't even look at me and I don't blame him. I've ruined any trust he's had in me and I deserve it. Drake tips his hand to the side, allowing the pill to drop to the floor. As it hit the ground, Drake lifts his booted foot then slams it onto the tile. He twists his heel, grinding the pill into a fine white powder. He slowly lifts his head and looks over to Reggie. "So now you know." Then pushes past me, brushing his arm against mine and walks out on all of us.

Tragic Love Teaser Alert!

Working Diligently

Writing update: I'm working hard on the next book in the Sulfur Heights Series, Tragic Love. After writing forty pages and staring at it for hours pissed off it wasn't what I wanted, I had to start over. Then, like a moth to a flame, I found the story I was desperately trying to write. I'm hoping to have it released before the end of the year, or sooner if time allows. Currently, I work full time to pay the bills and write when I get a free chance. Often times I will be burning the midnight oil or wake at 3 AM to get a few quite hours of writing before I have to start my normal routine.

Thanks again for all the love and support I've received on Scarred Love. I'm truly grateful for everyone's positive feedback and I'm glad to see it's been a great success.

Release Day!!!

I just released my first novel and it's available for sale on Amazon Kindle.  B&N will be available within the next 72 hours and paperback through Amazon in the next seven business days.

http://www.amazon.com/Scarred-Love-ebook/dp/B00D8KWFXO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1370567922&sr=1-1&keywords=scarred+love

In The Home Stretch

I submitted by book for to Amazon and B&N. It will be available for purchase soon.  I can't believe this is happening, but I'm excited for the adventure. Stay tuned for more!

How do you do it?

I know there are several aspiring authors out there who work a full time job and tend the to their family before they get the opportunity to write. So how do you do it? For me, writing in the wee hours of the morning inspires my creative side. Some of the best words I've put down on paper usually happens before the sun has even considers to rise. I want to wish you all luck with your writing and pursuing your passion. 

Let the Editing Begin

Good Morning!
This weekend I will be hard at work making the necessary changes to my manuscript and I have to pinch myself. Can this possibly be real? It's been an incredible journey, but its only begun. I've received great feedback from my editors, who are amazing by the way, and I'm still in awe how much they love my story. I can't wait for my readers to read Darcie and Reggie's story. I'm not sure what I'm saying, just rambling out the thoughts in my head.

Creativity Doesn't Have A Schedule

Happy Friday!
I've been up since 3AM because my brain could not turn off the ideas flooding it. Because I want this to be my livelihood, I seize any opportunity when it presents itself knowing I will need to morph into mommy mode and head out of the house to my full time job.  My time is precious and any free moment I get I'm at my computer trying to make my dream come true. To anyone else with the same dreams, I wish you the best of luck!

Busy

Currently I'm working on Book 2 of the Sulfur Heights series writing Drake's story.

My Beautiful Book Cover

Thank you so much to Sarah Janis for designing my cover. Looking at this proves my dream is coming true and soon I will be a published author.
