Updates

Sooo, remember how I said I was almost done with Lies and Locks? How I only had one and a half chapters left? Well I finished one and a half chapters. Except, doing as I always do, I had new ideas and it dragged the chapters out. So, instead of having the last chapter two-three times as long as every other chapter, I decided to add one more chapter! I am still almost done though, so get pumped!

I've also been thinking about changing up the cover for Secrets and Keys. While I love the cursive print the title is already in, I realized for those searching e-books on Amazon, it doesn't stand out much and grab readers attention. So I have a second cover ready, the font not as awesome as the current font, but it will grab potential readers attention much more. I figured I would let everyone know, so that to those who currently have a copy of Secrets and Keys as e-book, if you receive a notice about an update to the book, just know it is a change of the cover and if you want to keep the cursive font cover, don't update.

Alright, that's all I have for now! I'll talk to you wonderful people who still read my blog soon!!

Hellooooooooooo!

Well, long time no see! There has been so much going on since the last time I updated! First off, I finished spring semester at my school, and am now taking summer classes. Boo summer classes, never taken them before. It will be worth it though when I get to graduate in December! =] Enough about me though, I have updates about the second novel in the Desire Series!

I finally have settled on the title Lies and Locks for the second novel. The novel is almost complete! I have one and a half chapters left, and then I will be crazy editing it. This means that I will absolutely  meet my goal of finishing the novel by the end of summer (considering summer just started, and it doesn't take me months to write a chapter). The editing process will take more time, but after it is edited, hopefully the rest of getting it ready to publish will happen quickly. So be on the lookout for updates, and I will try to update this more than once a month!

What a busy time!

Crazy times! This is my last week of classes, then next week is finals week. Why is it professors wait until these last few weeks to make everything due? Of course, I couldn't just focus on school, and I have been working on the second novel! I'm expecting about five more chapters, and then it will be complete! Then it will be time to edit and review the entire thing, but that's okay. It will be cool to have two completed novels! So my plan to have it completed by the end of summer will happen, and my goal for it being published in November is definitely looking good. I will keep everyone updated on the progress.

Of course, I wouldn't be me if I didn't have multiple other stories coming to mind. It really is obnoxious all these stories waiting to be told, but I really can only work on one story at a time. I probably won't start the third novel in the Desire series right away, as I have a few chapters of one story that I mentioned before, but now there's another. Oh boy. I know I mentioned dystopian novels before, and technically I could make this new idea into one, but.... oh boy. I had this really crazy dream, and I mean I always have very vivid dreams. They usually go away after a day. This dream though, I still remember all the details clear as day, and they create a really fascinating story. So I may see where that one will take me before starting the third novel in the Desire series. Keep an eye out for updates, and I'll talk to you wonderful people soon!

Let's get this thing going!


Alright, so I don't know about anyone else, but I can't believe it's almost April! The weather here has been so nice, you would think it's June or July, not March!! With one month left of classes, you can probably guess I'm getting pretty anxious for summer vacation. I'm sure everyone else is as well! Sorry I haven't updated here much, I just haven't had much to update on. I had my last free promotion, and still need to determine if I'm re-entering into Amazon's program. If I don't, expect to see Secrets and Keys available back on Barnes and Noble, and I'll probably get it onto Smashwords (have to look into that to see what it is still) and possibly on the Apple bookstore.

The fact that time is flying is a little scary. I set a deadline for myself to finish my second novel before the end of summer. I did finally finish the chapter I was suck on though, so at least progress is happening! Expect to have that story available before the end of the year! =] Speaking of stories, I feel like I'm going crazy thinking of new ones! I mentioned in one post that I came up with an idea for another novel, and so far I have three chapters. I'm not sure where it will go, but hopefully it will be worth getting out for you to read! On top of this, one of my friends thinks I should write a novel and base it off all the drama my group of friends have gone through in the past four years. If you only knew, though most of it is funny. And of course, the other day I had a thought pop into my head, and it wouldn't leave. It was for a dystopian type novel. As you can see, busy writing times for me! I just need to get through two more papers for school, then I should have time to crank all these stories out! I'll update again when I find something even somewhat interesting to share!

FREE FREE FREE!!!

In case you missed the title, this is a reminder that tomorrow, March 10th, Secrets and Keys will be FREE! This is the last free promotion date, and I'm not sure if it will become free again in the future. So take advantage of this awesome deal now! Link to the USA store is on the right. If you can't purchase from that store, search Secrets and Keys Desire on Amazon and it should come up!

Last Chance!!

So I decided on my last free promotion date! I'm not sure if I'll re-enroll in Amazon's program, meaning this may or may not be your last chance to receive Secrets and Keys absolutely free! So save the date, the last chance for getting the novel for free is Saturday, March 10th. If you've read it and enjoyed it, let others know that they can get it for free this day! My commitment to Amazon's Kindle Direct program ends this month, which is why I'm not sure if I'll re-enroll. If I don't, expect Secrets and Keys to be available again on other websites, not just Amazon!

I've been bad!

Hey everybody!

So as the title suggests, I've been bad. I haven't written much on novel two in the Desire series, I haven't updated here much, and I may or may not have started a whole other novel! Yeah, that last thing is definitely a bad idea for me, but no worries! Novel two will be complete by the end of summer. Well I plan on it. It's my goal, and I hate missing my goals. I don't want to say too much on this new novel, as this blog is dedicated to to my Desire series, and who knows where it will end up. I have no plans yet on how long it will be, if it will stand alone or be in a series, and I'm still not 100% on the names of characters yet. Basically, don't get your hopes up of seeing it anytime soon. If it doesn't turn out, I will post what I do get on a free website for anyone that cares to take a look!

So I haven't looked at my sales on Amazon recently. In fact, it's been two weeks since the last time I checked. I was shocked to see my total overall ranking in Amazon (it's in the 300,000's now, but that's an improvement over the 500,000's last time I looked). Sales are steady so it's exciting to see people taking a chance on my novel! I'm so grateful for amazing people out there giving Indie authors such as myself a chance.

I will be having my last free promotion sometime this month. I'm not sure when, but I will let all of you wonderful people know as soon as I set a date! I really do try to update this as much as possible, but school has been so overwhelmingly busy that it's hard to find time. That, or I'm reading all day. I feel like I haven't read any good books in awhile. Well, let's just say, in three days I read all three Hunger Games novels. They were fantastic, and I highly recommend them! Keep it in mind if you're looking for an amazing series to read!
