Book 2 is done! Book 2 is done! Happy dance! Happy dance!
Okay now that I got that out of my system I can officially say that book 2 is WRITTEN! I've just reached out to a friend to do a read through so I can get the big kinks worked out before I go into beta reader mode. That being said I'm in the market for beta readers. The one caveat, however, you need to have read book 1 first. It is a series you know.
Okay, so go get your copy of Just A Touch and let me know if you're interested in being a beta reader!
Happy Reading All!!

Calling All Bloggers
If you're a blogger and would like to receive a free copy of Just A Touch for a review please leave your blog link in the comments below. I'm looking for willing participants to write a review for Just A Touch to help me spread the word about my book. This is especially important to me now since book 2 officially has a completed 1st draft!!
That's write book 2 should be coming out early next year!! Get excited. It's already been added to Goodreads with a brief synopsis. The full synopsis won't come until 1) Just A Touch receives a few more reviews or 2) I'm ready to publish.
So that is just a brief update. Happy Reading!

Random Rant
So this is just me ranting about Goodreads. It's nothing that Goodreads did it's specifically about the person who rated it two stars but never even read it. How do I know they didn't read it? Sales did not increase, they were not a winner of the giveaway, and they rated it the day they added it. Plus, when you click on their name they have rated over 21000 books with an average rating of 1.98. That tells me their sole purpose is to diminish the rating value of books.
Now that said if you really think my book is only worth 2 stars okay, that's your right as a reader. But don't go around rating books low just because you can. Have a reason to back it up. If I rate a book low, and I have, it's because I read it, genuinely didn't enjoy it' and wrote a review to back up my opinion. I'm not going to leave the author hanging. Any review, even a bad one, can help an author get better. But the reader has to be willing to let the author know why they thought that, otherwise what's the point of the rating system?
Okay, rant over. But seriously don't you guys agree?

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!
