The Time Has Come!!!

So everyone get excited! The time has come to reveal the cover for Just A Touch!!
Now, before I reveal it I just want to say a huge thank you to Corrie Bates who designed and drew the cover for me. She is fantastic. So I guess you just want to see the cover now, huh? In a minute.

First, I will give you the promised snippet from Just A Touch.  This will be the final teaser, snippet, sneak peak, whatever you want to call it until the book is released. When will that be you ask? Sometime in the next week. I know I'm so vague. I will tell you that Just A Touch is in the final formatting stage and once that is complete I will upload to Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I will also let everyone here know that it is out as well as add it to Goodreads. It will probably get added to Goodreads sometime today so that you can go ahead and put it on your to read lists.

So now for the snippet I promised. Enjoy!

     I stand frozen in shock watching as the blood staining the front of his shirt grows. Dad reacts first, dropping down beside Chase, checking his pulse, and applying pressure to the wound on his chest. “His pulse is weak. We need to get him to the hospital immediately.”

     The urgency in his voice brings me back and I drop to the ground beside Chase. “Let me do it Dad. I can save him, if I’m not already too late. I know I can.” The realization that I may be Chase’s only hope terrifies me, but if what he says about me is true I should be able to do this. I just hope I believe enough in myself to do it.

 And now for the cover!! Let me know what you think! :)

Cover Reveal...Almost!

AH! So I just received back the near final proofs of my cover and I am SOO excited! I just wanted to share that you should all be on the lookout for the real early next week. I would say this weekend but I will be out of town and my internet access will be flaky so I'm not going to promise that. But next week definitely! Be prepared!! I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

This and That

Hello my wonderful followers!

So today I just want to ramble a little bit about this and that.  First I want to say the Just A Touch is coming along nicely and if my cover comes in on time it should be available in the next couple of weeks!! More on that once my cover arrives.  Don't worry you'll be the first to know since I'll be doing the reveal right here. :)

In other news A Fighting Chance is starting to flow again so it is coming along at a decent pace. Still hoping to have at least a workable copy done by December.  I know I said I wanted it out by December but I've had a few life changing events take place that may make that a little risky (more on that in a second). So for now just know that it is a work in progress and that I'm hoping to have it to you soon. I will be needing test readers for it once it's completed so once you've read Just A Touch, if you're interested, just comment below or on a later post when I put out the official request.  You can also message me on goodreads too if you'd rather do that.

In the land of my YA Contemporary, Promises, that one has been coming at me from all directions.  I haven't written anymore in the actual book since I've been focusing my efforts on getting Just A Touch out the door and A Fighting Chance completed but I have been taking notes.  I hope you all love it as much as I do inside my mind. More on that once the rest are completed, or at least to a place that I need to distance myself from them.

So back to that life changing event that may postpone the release of A Fighting Chance... I'm expecting a little girl at the beginning of December! So that's incredibly exciting and I've been planning her arrival and getting things ready since we found out we're having a girl.  It's been CRAZY!  But if she comes on-time and not early I should at least have the first, hopefully a close to final, draft completed by then.  But we shall see.  I make no promises since she will be my first priority.

So there is some exciting news for you all!  Look for the next sneak peek at Just A Touch to come along with the cover reveal.  Until then, if there is anything you would like to know about me, the book, random things... Just comment below and I will gladly get back to you.

That's all for now! Happy reading!

I Know, I Know...It's Been Awhile

So I know it's been a while since I last blogged.  Life has been crazy lately!  But no excuses, I feel bad that I haven't written in a while with any updates.  SO here is all that has happened in the last month.

Just A Touch has gone through a bit of a revamp.  Nothing really major but enough that I think the story got that much more exciting.  At least I hope it did.  So for those of you who were in the test group be prepared for some difference between what you've read and what gets published.  It'll make it exciting for all!

Also, in regards to my cover for Just A Touch, I received the initial proofs and I'm excited to say that I think the cover is going to be amazing!  I should have it back by the 26th!!  I can't wait!  The reveal will happen here and on Goodreads once it is complete.  Once I have the cover and the final edits back I'll be publishing.  More on that once the time gets closer but I'm hoping within the next month.  Cross your fingers!

A Fighting Chance, book 2, is still a work in progress.  I've reached right around 33,000 words and I've just had another wave of inspiration for it so hopefully that word count will increase significantly in the next few weeks.  Once you've read Just A Touch you'll know who this story is about but I will be giving no hints or sneak peaks for this one until Just A Touch has been out for a bit.  So sorry, but you'll all have to wait a little while for more on this one.

I also have three other books in progress, one being book 3 to the Triad, but right now finishing the Triad series is my main focus so the others are still sitting on the shelf with right around 10,000 words each.  They are called Promises and Remember.  More on these later but figured I'd clue you in since I've been MIA for a while.

And as a I'm sorry gift here is another peak at Just A Touch.  One from Arianna and one from Chase.  Enjoy!

   "He has to think this town is full of crazy people by what he has just witnessed. Where is a rock to crawl under when you need one?" - Arianna

   "She was so scared. I could hear it in her voice. And her screams… Don’t think about that Chase. You have a job to do. You helped her today and she’s okay…for now.

   She doesn’t believe me. I could tell she thought I was crazy. It was written all over her words. But she has to believe me now, right. Oh, I hope she believes me." - Chase
