Hello!
So I will be going to wedding number two this year, and my boyfriend and I have four more to go to in the next year. It is one of the reasons why I went from saying I was going to go to Utopia to not. One of the weddings is the same time and that's a lot of traveling because not a single wedding is in Virginia. It stinks being popular...
So, my aunt is going through End of the Line 2, then I'll go through it, then I'll send it to an editor. I am still not sure if I want to call it Off the Beaten Path or Walking a Thin Line. However, while you are waiting for it, I decided to post a little sample on my Wattpad (click that link to read the story, remember it will contain spoilers for End of the Line!) account which I do admit I tend to forget about. Oops!
Look at me go, mentioning two upcoming releases in the same week!

Mistakes 3 coming soon
Hello!
Leave it to me to prepare a werewolf story release AFTER Halloween. The school year has started and I'm working on math, grammar, and reading with my students. Nothing like having a student accuse you of liking to write when you are going over capitalization. Also leave it to the student to make that sound like a bad thing. Oh well, I guess I missed that memo! However, that heading is true. I have emailed the third installment of the Mistakes series to an editor. It is another novella just like the first two in the series. It is more action and build up. My goal is to have these stories lead up to the novel that I started while I was in high school (it has changed since then!). I also had fun and got to work in some reworks of a fairy tale in this paranormal story. It is a little different than the previous two, and I hope that everyone enjoys it! Also I hope that it helps your curiosity for the upcoming tales ;) Oh! I should probably say that my goal release is the beginning of November of this year so keep your eyes out for the cover release.

It was supposed to be
just another day at work for a local newspaper reporter, Stella Holt. She had
always loved her job, and believed she was good at it. Until one day when she
was sent to interview the author of a worldwide bestseller who had made so many
women fall in love with him.
James Collins is not
just a word-painter. His every work is a masterpiece, a perfect blend of
mystery and mind-blowing romance. Only in his own life, there is no place for
romance. He knows everything about women, starting from what they like most,
and to the ways to seduce them with only a glance. But there’s a secret that
has been aggrieving him for years, a secret that has locked his heart forever…
“I thought I would
never fall in love with you, Stella. And I didn’t… I drowned in you…”

Corporal Riley Nolan is back home and out of the hospital after sustaining severe injuries in a skirmish overseas. His physical injuries may be healed, though he is left with horrible scars all over his body. His mind is still healing, and he has almost no contact with the world outside his small dark apartment.
After the death of her parents and being forced to sell their house and move into an apartment in a new town, Eponine is left picking up the pieces while trying to maintain a normal life for her little sister, Genevieve.
Can these new neighbors help each other heal, finding the light and laughter in the world again? Most importantly, can Eponine help Riley see he's not the monster he believes himself to be beneath the scars?
Project US
Rachel is used to being in control of her emotions, never letting anyone get close to the real her. Nick is exactly the kind of guy Rachel has been trying to avoid getting involved with. Yet, when their school arranges a mysterious project that puts them together, they soon become trapped in a marriage that turns out to be real and legally binding, and they aren't the only ones.
While their parents try to get four hundred students out of these marriages with legal help, the teenagers must live in a compound with their respective spouses for the duration of the project. Being trapped together leaves no room for denials. As Nick begins to fall for Rachel, she does everything in her power to avoid his charms and protect her heart. All she wants is to get out of the marriage, but does she truly want out, or is she only lying to herself?
The Mistakes Series will have the third installment released within a month or two!

End of the Line 2
Hello!
So today I was able to print out a copy of End of the Line 2 that I will be sending to my Aunt to act as a second pair of eyes and go through the manuscript. She might be related, but she is able to write notes, ask questions if she has any, and puts editing marks on the story. Thankfully I have family that is willing to do so, I'm sure she will be happy that this story is about 20K shorter than Project US!
I'm trying to type this as Lily wants to use my keyboard as a pillow and Leo wants to play fetch. So after she sends it back to me I'll go through the paper copy myself and see what I want to fix. There is something about catching mistakes in a physical copy. Then I'll send it to an editor. I already have this cover figured out so I am not worried about that. However, it does not match the first book so I'm debating on changing the first cover again so that they would somewhat match.
I am also trying to figure out the name. I have two different title ideas in mind for this book. I am leaving a poll up on the upper right hand corner for you vote on until September 4th.
Happy Voting!

Back to the land of social media
Hello,
Where have I been? I released a book then I disappeared. I'm sorry about that, what happened is I got a new job an hour and a half away from the current school that I was working at. So needless to say I had to find a place for Leo and I to a new place. We went from an apartment in Fredericksburg to a house in Sutherland Virginia. I am still a special education teacher, but instead of being in a middle school I will be in an elementary school which I'm excited. Leo is too, he has a backyard to call his own, well mostly he does have to share it with my boyfriend's dog, Lily.
I moved in last weekend (mostly I still have a couple of things in my apartment oops!). The cable/internet people weren't able to come to use until today. This morning I got to mail out a couple of ebooks out for review which was nice. I even finished editing the first round with End of the Line 2. I'm hopefully going to be sending the rough draft to my aunt to go through :)
I'm debating if I like "Walking a Thin Line" or "Off the Beaten Path" for the title for the sequel. Please share your thoughts in the comment section. Right now though I'm watching TV with Leo curled by my side.
Happy Readings!
