Updates, Legend, and an upcoming release!!!

I only just realized that I never posted the cover for Legend! Well here it is!!! Hope you love it as much as I do!!

 Tagline: With Obsession comes the Ultimate Betrayal. Will Legend be willing to sacrifice everything for the one he loves?

Isnt it great?! *swoons* I cant wait until the blurb is done so I can post that as well!!

Now for the updates portion! My current WIP, Dragon's Revenge, has just broken 20k words and is moving along awesomely!!! Whats that? A quick snippet you want? SURE! lol.

“Now I have you in my clutches!” Aiden shouted as he jumped from the dark shadows holding a deadly looking wooden sword. Kaida gasped, pressing the back of her hand to her head and leaning dramatically against one of the shop walls.

“Oh Aiden. Please don’t kill me! I am but an innocent princess!” The little boy chuckled, still pointing his sword at her and stepping closer.

“You are now my princess, Princess! And we shall be married!” Kai slid to the ground with all the grace she could muster given her position, her pants and sword sheath bumping against the stonewall as she went down.

“Oh nooooooo!” He pounced and she caught him, holding him tightly as she tickled his ribs.

“Now I have YOU, Aiden!” The little boy gasped between laughs, trying to protest his new predicament. “Are we still going to get married? Huh huh huh?” She tickled harder.

“That’s not fair!” He managed to gasp before rolling away. “I’m supposed to capture you!” Kai laughed and stood to her feet, dusting herself off.

“And why is that?” She pulled him up and started to clean him off, straightening his clothes and clearing his face of dust.

“Because I’m a man.” She smirked at him.

“So?”

“The man is supposed to be the strong one.” Shaking her head, she brushed down his hair and pulled him into her arms.

“Do I seem like the type of girl that needs rescuing, Little Aiden?” She felt him shrug. “Listen to me, ok?” She dropped to her knee and looked him in the eyes. Kaida loved kids, they were all beautiful and she cherished their open minds and hearts. All children were brilliant to her but the things that their parents taught them made her want to vomit. Particularly Aiden. With his bright blue eyes and curly blonde hair. She wanted him to grow up brave and strong but find a woman who compliments him instead of cowers before him.

“A woman needs to be strong. Not always physically but she needs to be strong or else a man will have no one to back him.” Aiden looked at her a moment and nodded. “She needs to be his partner and friend in order for them to feel like equals and be happy.”

“Like you and Micah?” She tilted her head.

“Well. Me and Micah are friends as well as partners but he’s not my husband.” The little boy opened his mouth again but she shushed him. “Trust me Aiden. When you grow up, you’ll want a strong wife and a person who listens to your thoughts and ideas. Not…” She rustled his hair and stood. “A Princess.” He smiled at her.

“Maybe I want to marry you?” She laughed and picked him up, giving him a big kiss on the cheek.

“Then I would be happy to have you.” He squirmed from her arms, dropping to his feet as he wiped off the kiss.

*big smile* Yup! Im so excited to get this one in to the hands of my readers! I think youll love it! Has strong women, a gorgeous love interest, Mystery, vengeance, and tons of action!!!!

Updates Of The Literary Kind!

Hey everyone! I haven't done an update in a while and I thought I was due!! 

A few announcements!! 

1) Symphoni is coming out on March 15th and now available for you to add on GOODREADS so make sure you do! I'll be adding a Goodreads contest just after the release and im not sure how they pick their winners but I know it cant hurt to already have it on your lists right? *big smile!*

2) My current Work In Progress (WIP) is now titled "Dragon's Revenge". It may change again (was Dragon Queen before) but for now that's what it is. The story follows Kaida, Princess of the Dragon Kingdom and head of the Royal Guard, on her quest for revenge against those that came for her family. Don't want to give away too much yet but I think you guys will love it! In fact... here's a quick snippet to get you guys all hyped up about it!

 

The alarm shrieked through the air and Kaida was immediately on alert, yanking up her axe as she turned to Micah. He nodded and tossed her his own axe, drawing his sword from its sheath with one swift pull. Together, side by side, they tore through the forest at top speed. Kai felt the adrenaline pumping through her body and she gripped the handles of the axes tight, the thick wood and heavy metal of the blade giving her reassurance as she dashed for the village. Micah’s breath was strong and steady beside her, driving her forward as she rushed onto the cobble-stoned streets of the village. Everything seemed too quiet; no one scrambling around as the thick black smoke billowed into the air. Kaida felt herself on edge.

A dripping sound coming from the sweet shop drew her attention and she looked at Micah, nodding before moving towards the door. The scent of blood was thick in the air, the black smoke making it nearly impossible for her to see as she stepped through the doors though it didn’t mask the horror inside. Missus McClathery lay dead on the candy counter, her body twisted and bent at odd angles. A pool of urine trickled down the sides of the glass top, dripping on the stone floor. Kai felt her heart squeeze but pushed the feeling away as she backed out of the shop, her attention now turned to the Castle.

 “Micah,” She whispered to him, not wanting to meet his brown eyes. “My Father.”

“I know.” They didn’t need to say anything else as they rushed through the village, their steps silent on the stone road. A swift movement to the left was the only notice Kai got before a man came sailing at her; it was the only notice she needed. She spun to the right, swinging one ax upward just as the man reached her and sinking the thick blade right below his ribcage. The man howled, thick black blood oozing onto her ax as he jerked around for moments before Kai sliced the second ax through his neck. There was a moment of silence, neither Kai nor Micah moved as the man’s head soared through the air and landed with a sickening thunk down the road.

Hope you enjoyed the snippet and are excited!!!! Now... ON ON!!! 

3) For the month of March, I will be doing a NaNoWriMo style writing challenge. I shall strive to complete 50,000 words by March 31st!! Want to grab a WIP of your own and join me in my quest for novel completion?? Come on!!! 

4) Theres a special surprise in Symphoni! As many of you may know, I wrote a prequel to Symphoni titled Legend! It follows Legend and Symphoni's relationship before Greg came into the picture! Well, in the back of Symphoni is a special sneak peek!! Thats right!

 From The Journal Of Legend Deimos

January 23^rd

My head is buzzing and I can feel myself becoming twitchy as I sit here writing, the sound of the pen scribbling across the pad is sending flashes of pain into my head but I need to get this out of my mind and on to paper as I frequently find my brain too full of thoughts to think clearly. I hope that makes sense. Not that it matters as I will be the only one reading this.

Im not sure what to do with myself at this point. Immortality can only be bearable for so long when your only real companion is your twin sister and you're always on call for whatever evil deed the Titans have planned for you. It gets old. Hundreds of years of life and you still aren’t your own person. Unable to be completely free without always wondering who's peering over your shoulders. Sometimes I lay in bed and just think of all the things I could be doing and the different choices I would make if I were in charge of my own destiny. But that's not the way things are when you are created for a specific purpose and have real choices in life. This is the way things are for me. This is the way things always will be and I need to learn to accept it. For my safety and for that of my sister's I just need to keep my mouth shut and do as I am told.

But I'm Legend Deimos. And everyone knows that keeping my mouth shut is damn near impossible.

Now... ON TO THE UPDATES!!!

Horror Stories, Awesome Music and Things In My Twisted Mind!

Here we go! An update of things going on!

I just finished my horror story submission for the horror anthology!! Its called A Taste Of Fear and Its about a Boston Heiress being stalked in her mansion by a serial killer. Oh! Did I mention that she can slip into people's memories and occasionally witnesses him torturing women? Well I have now! LOL! I submitted it last night so hopefully she likes it! On the plus side, If she decides its the more terrible thing shes ever read then ill post it here for all my fans to hate as well! *grins*

I recently discovered my favorite new song to write to. "Under My Skin" by Revamped is full of emotions that I associate with the characters in my WIP, The Lost Angels. Never Heard it? You can check it out at this link here...

Under My Skin by Revamped

Awesome right?! *nods* I agree!

Now. Ive come to realize how strange and twisted us fiction authors are. I recently wrote a torture scene involving chains, blood and needle while eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch. lol. But i love it. Bringing out my inner-villain was awesome and I fully intend to write a novella in the POV of a villain or a serial killer and I have just the chick in mind! Want to know who? Okies! This is a sneak peek at my current WIP, The Lost Angels!

 

(I do not own this image. This is just a picture of how i imagined Ena to look. I changed the eyes as Ena has unnaturally green eyes that stand out against her pale skin.)

This is Ena Ó Dochartaigh. 17 year old serial killer and all around psychopath! Below is a snippet from her in The Lost Angels! Hope you enjoy!

“WHERE IS THAT LITTLE BITCH?!” Aria roared as she came stomping into the room, her eyes blazing red as they came to rest on Ena. “YOU KILLED ME YOU CRAZY BITCH!” She charged at her but Ena merely watched her with an amused expression.

“Easy, Aria.” Grayson yanked her back by her waist, clutching her close to his chest as she scrambled to get at Ena.

“Dont Easy Aria me!! What the hell was even the point of her killing me?!” Grayson opened his mouth but Ena cut him off.

“I had to make sure you were who you claimed to be.” Aria growled in a very Travis like way.

“I never CLAIMED to be anyone to you and if I had... what if I were wrong?!” Ena raised an eyebrow at her and, with a slight crackling sound, the frozen boy seemed so smile.

“Then you had no business being here and needed to be disposed of.” Aria stopped struggling with Grayson to meet Ena's eyes in a glare as cool and harsh as the tone she had just used.

“First chance I get, Bitch, you will be getting a foot in your ass.” Ena leaned closer.

“You'll never get the chance, child.” They stared into each other eyes for a moment, the silence becoming uncomfortable.

Things got heated there huh? lol. I love writing Ena and hope you guys enjoy reading about her!

Now onto the updates!

See ya guys!!

Self Discoveries and other random info!

So this is my first OFFICIAL post aside from the welcome post i did earlier today and while i dont have any new awesome news, i felt the need to write something. 

I'm currently working on a short story for an anthology. Its another horror story and as I'm working out the rest of the outline for it, I've discovered that I have a pretty sick and twisted mind! Something else I've learned is that i actually LOVE writing horror, it seems to be something i may be good at eventually. Ive had people tell me The Soul Collector (my story for The Withering Darkness anthology) is the creepiest thing they've ever read and i absolutely can not wait until they read this new story. I think I might top myself on the creep factor this time folks!! I wish i could share more details on it but i cant. So for now... Ill get back to writing so you guys wont have to wait much longer!! Well after this quick update about myself...

Reading: Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
Writing: Awesome horror story
