A second edition...

Hey Lovelies!
So there will be a second edition of Family Ties. As of April 1, 2013 Family Ties will no longer be available through Bucks County Publishing. There aren't any issues, just between graduation and starting to look at jobs I want things kind of settled. I will have a second edition available withing a couple of weeks or a month. I will have it re-edited before hand, my friend Amy who did the new cover for End of the Line, will be doing the new cover for Family Ties. She wanted to do a photo shoot for something, and I'm kind of double dipping with it. Amy has already found a location for the photo shoot that will be part of the cover. Unlike End of the Line I doubt there will be new added scenes or plot twists. The new edition will be available with paperback, and all e-books. I plan on doing something special with my books for my graduation (check out the count down ===>) so keep your eyes out.

Updates on End of the Line series :)

Dear Lovelies!
Sorry been a little MIA this semester is doing wonders for my stress level. I preferred last semester of student teaching far more! So anyway like I was saying I've been busy so I haven't been able to write much, pretty much a couple of sentences at a time kind of business. Not fun. Mostly it was between Walking a Thin Line (end of the line 2) and The Four Purposes of Oil. The Four Purposes of Oil I really like, but what had me stump with that one was me going back and fourth on which tense I want for it. That can slow things down. So Walking a thin Line prevailed! I finished it last night! Well at least the first draft! I'm so excited, but I wasn't sure how it would turn out or if it would finish because I kept stressing about whether the story needed to be told or not and not letting the words flow. Anyway! This book might take awhile to be released because of I still need to go back and edit it. While I edit it when I can I will try to write the third and last installment. If for some reason it isn't long enough then it will be a part 2 of the second one! Because how I ended the second one I'm pretty sure it is not a recommended situation to leave things ;)

Lastly, I did at one point I did have a title for the last book in this series. However much like a lot of things in my life, I misplaced that title somewhere. I remember liking it, so I have a couple of ideas, and I'm willing to hear your options, you can either click HERE and vote or voice your own opinion! Or you can click on vote on a title off to the right! Pass the word :)

The Ultimate Sample Sunday 2


Hey Lovelies!
Again sorry it's been so long. Even though I am only taking two classes they are seriously kicking my butt. One class is a book a week and the other is a research class which will lead to a 30 page paper due in April!  Plus I have been working on a portfolio so that I can get hired for a teaching position. So needless to say I have been a little busy. I am working on a couple of a sentences at a time on 3 stories, 2 of which are part of series so you won't see those samples here ;).
