Five Fun Facts Friday...on Sunday...

Yes I know that I missed Friday and I'm sorry about that but when you feel icky, nothing really gets accomplished. But the fact that no one called me on it, probably means it didn't really phase anyone that it didn't happen. Oh well. Such is life.

But I promised 5 fun facts so here are 5 fun facts. I received no questions so this is just from me to you.

1) About me:  My least favorite subject in school was always English. I hated it. I wasn't good at it. But I enjoyed reading, as long as it wasn't for school. And low and behold I wrote a book. Imagine that. My English teachers would probably flip.

2) About Just A Touch: When I started writing the book, I had it going in a completely different direction than it actually went. There is a scene at the beginning when you are first getting to know Arianna where she's talking about why they moved to Bakers Ridge. Originally I was going to use that a foreshadowing the her parents having something to do with the Chosen and knowing what she was from the beginning. But that all changed as I started writing. I'm happy with the way it ended up but I ended up leaving the scene there because it could be used in either way.

3) Future Books: I currently have five other books in the works, the final two in the Triad series (A Fighting Chance which is almost completed and a yet to be named third book), Promises (A clean new adult contemporary about love and loss), Hope (About exactly what the title says), and Remember (which is a different take on the fairytale Sleeping Beauty set in modern times)

4) About A Fighting Chance: Since it isn't released yet I will be vague but I end up killing off a character that you meet in Just A Touch and turning someone into a traitor...that is all.

And finally number 5) About me (5 books/trilogies I think are worth the read): Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (AMAZING), Love Me With Lies Trilogy by Tarryn Fisher (I just finished the third one and although it wasn't my favorite the series is completely worth it), Delirium Trilogy (LOVED 1 and 2, 3 left me with a feeling of "seriously that's how you're going to end it...", but the series is worth it), Golden by Cameron Dokey (Retelling of Rapunzel. It was FABULOUS), The Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare (I know most people talk about The Mortal Instruments but I loved TID so much more...Will *sigh*)

And there you go Five Fun Facts on Friday that turned into a Sunday...
If you want more start asking questions and I will be happy to oblige. I am not a mind reader so I don't know what you guys want to know.

A Fighting Chance's short synopsis has been posted to Goodreads. I'm waiting for more people to add/read Just A Touch before I post the full synopsis. That or when I'm ready to publish it. So everyone go check out Just A Touch (free for Amazon Prime users) and let me know what you think. You're feedback is wanted but you can't provide it if you never actually read it. :)

**Sidenote: Just A Touch will be free for Prime member for only 90 days then I will be adding the book to more sites so it can be downloaded in additional formats. That will happen in early November so if you want to read it without buying it and you're and Amazon Prime member hurry up, you're window of opportunity is dwindling.

Have a great week everyone!

Fun Facts Friday Coming Soon!

So I decided that since Just A Touch has been out for a week now that I'm going to do a Fun Facts Friday. Not this week but next week to give anyone who has a question for me ample opportunity to ask.  So look for it next Friday!

You can ask anything about the book, future books, me, etc. Have fun with it. If I don't get any input from my wonderful followers then I'll just pick five random facts to tell you. So ask away!

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! :)
