<br />
So...Halloween is approaching and if you know me, it's my favorite holiday (yes, even over Christmas!).<br />
<br />
Darkness Within Ezine will be having a pre-halloween party on facebook on 10/29 so come join us!! We'll have games, trivia and prizes!<br />
<br />
As for me, I'm still working my way through book 3 in my Immortal series and also looking for pictures for my Vampire Queen covers when I re-release them next year.<br />
<br />
Hubby, his eldest daughter and I will be going to Universal Studios when she flies in at the end of the month and I LOVE Harry Potter so I've been on this low carb diet so I won't have a problem fitting on the rides. We went to Universal Studios Florida in 2010 (granted I was 100 lbs heavier) and I couldn't fit on the main Harry Potter ride. I was so embarrassed and bummed I missed the ride! So, I was determined to lose more weight for this trip to California! Well...I've been doing the diet for 2 weeks and only lost 6lbs and have been starving myself almost along with beating myself up for going over my carbs for the day. So, I decided to try to keep my diet as much as possible but not count carbs or exercise...just go with the flow. Hopefully that will work and I won't beat myself up for it not working fast enough.<br />
<br />
Here's the rundown of our week:<br />
<br />
Saturday 9/30 She's flying in around 2:30. Going to go see a magic show, eat at Ramsey's Burger's the go see Fremont street where I'm told is amazing.<br />
<br />
Sunday 10/1: Rest day for her and I while hubby watches football.<br />
<br />
Monday 10/2: Leave at 3am ish and drive to California for sight-seeing (USS Iowa, Long Beach hospital where hubby was born, Santa Monica Pier as I've just always wanted to see it) then head to the Air B&B. This is a huge surprise to her. Hubby's been rubbing it in every time he talks to her and she keeps guessing but hasn't been right yet...ha ha ha!<br />
<br />
Tuesday 10/3: Go to Universal at 8am for early entry and go straight to Harry Potter land!!! Yay!<br />
<br />
Wednesday 10/4: Rest day<br />
<br />
Thursday 10/5: Daddy/Daughter night on Vegas strip (Nice restaurant, a show, etc). I get to stay home and rest.<br />
<br />
Friday 10/6: Rest day & order pizza.<br />
<br />
Saturday 10/7: Rest day and hubby will cook at home or go to Hibachi place as it's her favorite.<br />
<br />
Sunday 10/8: She flies home.<br />
<br />
Hubby has been texting her every day with the countdown. It's so cute AND she turns 21 on 9/20!!<br />
<br />
Well, that's enough for now. If you have any ideas on what we should do on the rest days, please comment below.<br />

<br />
It's now fall and my all time favorite holiday, Halloween!!!! Did you guess it right? If you really know me you did...lol!<br />
<br />
So, I decided to finish book 3 of my Immortal Series, Immortal Vultures and then move on to my previously traditionally published The Vampire Queen trilogy.<br />
<br />
I don't know how many of you know but I Own/Run a paranormal/horror ezine called Darkness Within Ezine. You can see it <a href="http://www.darknesswithinezine.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. For the upcoming holiday, I am running a rafflecopter contest for anyone who would like some free books. You can enter <a href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/c1c3aa579/?" target="_blank">here</a>. If you're interested in submitting some of your work or even take over your own article, there is a contact form on the website, write in to me and we can discuss things more in detail.<br />
<br />
So, don't forget to enter the contest above, the website for more information and look for book 3, Immortal Vultures!<br />
<br />

<br />
So, books 1 & 2 are now available on Amazon, Smashwords and Draft2Digital!!! Yay!!!<br />
<br />
I've started on book 3 and am moving along nicely.<br />
<br />
I recently got my publishing rights to my first 4 books back from the original publisher. I know my first 2 books (of a trilogy, 4th book is paranormal erotica) need some work and they all need new covers which I will be making. My first book is The Vampire Queen and since I'm thevampirequeen1, I feel maybe I should work on book 1 and get it up to keep my brand going. However, in my Immortal series of 4 books, each book is left with a cliffhanger so I don't want the readers to have to wait very long and lose interest.<br />
<br />
What do you all think? Please leave comments to advise. I look forward to hearing your opinions!<br />
<br />
I'm also looking into getting my Immortal series put on Audiobooks so wish me luck! lol<br />

<br />
Well, today is the day for the release of the Immortal Series, book 2, Immortal Desires!!!<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to be able to share this series with you!<br />
<br />
I'm working on book 3 now and it's slowly coming along. Should be out in the next couple months. I already have the cover for the book done which was a great motivator. Here it is:<br />

<br />
Hope you have enjoyed my Immortal series so far and don't forget, if you read it, please leave a review.<br />

<br />
Just wanted to give you an update on Book 2, Immortal Desires from the Immortal Series.<br />
<br />
It is going to be released on 8/13 (my dad's birthday who passed a little over a year).<br />
<br />
This is the book where Larissa and Lance come together as a couple and start slowly exploring each other sexually so while this is not an erotica book, it does have muted sex scenes and is a 18+ book. Also, they are on the run while trying to protect each other. Larissa decides she wants to be a vampire but there's never been a known case of a vampire/dragon shifter and Lance is nervous about doing it. After a short time of luxury with a companion coven leader, Larissa is taken off the grounds, leaving the others behind to figure out the how, who and why.<br />
<br />
Here's a reminder of the cover:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqkxNv65YrOc3BMOoOEnQM_98fIlFdUgJCu10R52bRmCcMzYrhg-MKSlPHAN39a1y1aQ8gn5mdVw9k5UA8k7yHokfWZC9eWTpIiJZuOEMZN2WCpzzq_rT-zgu8-R4V3w7EKfsNqofxjVV/s1600/Dragons2cover3best.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqkxNv65YrOc3BMOoOEnQM_98fIlFdUgJCu10R52bRmCcMzYrhg-MKSlPHAN39a1y1aQ8gn5mdVw9k5UA8k7yHokfWZC9eWTpIiJZuOEMZN2WCpzzq_rT-zgu8-R4V3w7EKfsNqofxjVV/s320/Dragons2cover3best.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Book 3 will be Immortal Vultures and follow the torture of Larissa and the return of Lance to his fathers castle but will he be able to save her in time? Will she be the same person coming out as she went in? Did his fathers Scientists get to her and hurt her? All this is unbearable to Lance. All he wants in the world is to marry her and have their own coven one day in hopes of uniting the vampire covens and dragon clans.<br />
<br />
More next time! Until then...<br />

<br />
Well, this is going to be a somber post but based on my life (if any of you are interested keep reading), this weekend was rough for me emotionally.<br />
<br />
Today marked the two month passing of my mom. I have many regrets with her and I just hope in the end, though she couldn't communicate, she knew she was loved, hubby and I took great care of her and that she received what she wanted most at the end...to be with her husband of 51 years in heaven.<br />
<br />
This leads me to Saturday. I was a crying, sobbing mess all day! I'd lost my best friend in my dad who'd passed one year ago but it felt like yesterday. For the last year or so of his life, we did so much together and he taught me a lot! It felt like there I was, sitting at his bedside, holding his cold hand as I watched his heart monitor slowly go down to zero where I'd lose him for forever. I would have to say that was the hardest day of my life. My only consolation was that he was no longer in pain.<br />
<br />
So, while my mom had 51 years with him, I'd had 41 years with him in my life and I was truly a 'daddy's girl'. When he was no longer comfortable driving, I was there to take him wherever he needed/wanted to go. We spent precious time in his garage where he secretly smoked cigarettes (mom didn't know) and we talked about anything and everything. He showed me how to use tools and equipment (saws, working with wood, painting, etc). He always made sure I had what I needed and even slipped me a $20 bill from time to time when he could.<br />
<br />
For the last seven months of his life, hubby and I lived in his basement so I was there to help care for him and mom (dementia). We would go 'shopping' together which meant he got to get out of the house, would give me his list and money and then sit in the car and smoke while I ran into the store...lol. He was and always had been a character with the jokes he told (that he'd been telling the same ones I heard all my life) and he would just make people laugh which was his goal.<br />
<br />
Through four colostomy bags, stomach surgery with mesh and a woundvac for a while, he still got outside and planted things, pulled weeds and puttered around though he was allergic to the sun. He always wore a long sleeve shirt and hat in an attempt to protect his skin. He'd been in and out of the hospital for various reasons.<br />
<br />
The day he passed, he'd went into surgery for a routine debridement of a spot on his back. In recovery he suffered a heart attack and was down for over 20 minutes. He was taken up to ICU where he continued to have heart attack after heart attack as I stood in the hall sobbing hysterically every time the alarms went off...knowing I was losing him. He was on a ventilator and a doctor came in and told me he had a punctured lung which they could go in and fix. We'd discussed this as a family and we agreed that if we were only being kept alive by machines then we were to pull the plug. I asked the doctor if he thought dad was brain dead and he said most likely. I told him to stop everything and just let him go.<br />
<br />
As humans, that's the last thing we want ts to let our loved ones 'go' but I think that's selfish to make them hold on and suffer because I can't bare the thought of letting him go. Near the end, I stroked his hair and told him it was okay for him to go and be with his parents (one of whom he'd never met).<br />
<br />
After he passed and I got home, mom was waiting for an update as she couldn't physically walk through the hospital to see him so she was anxious as I hadn't returned her calls. When I told her what had happened, she almost slid out of her chair with a 'WHAT!?'. I sobbed and said I was sorry over and over and felt like I let everyone down. Later she told me I made the right decision but it sure didn't feel like the right decision as that moment.<br />
<br />
After that, mom was a mess so I went into survival mode. I handled all the phone calls, final arrangements, etc. I'd always told hubby that when my dad passed, I'd be a mess and I'd need him to step up and help mom. Well, I think I didn't really get that period of time to properly grieve so a year later I'm a mess!<br />
<br />
Just after he passed, on the suggestion of a close friend, I wrote letters to him in my journal but when we moved in November from Ohio to Nevada, I kinda got out of the habit. After speaking with my current therapist, who had no knowledge of my journal letters, asked me what my plans for the day were. I said I was just going to lay in bed and cry. She suggested I write a handwritten letter to dad...but what should I say? We shared so much in life together, through good times and bad that I didn't really know what to put in the letter. I finally was able to write one but it was morbid.<br />
<br />
Hubby tried to console me but I needed way more than that! I needed my daddy back! I felt like my heart had shattered into two pieces...one for hubby and one for dad which was slowly turning black and dying inside my body. How was I expected to just 'get over it'? Everyone afterwards kept telling me that with time it would get easier. Well, after a year, if was just as hard if not harder than that day so people tell you what you want to hear (my conclusion). I missed him more than anything in my life (the loss of my home, the repo of my car, loss of job, etc) and there was nothing I or anyone could do to make it better, even at least just a little better.<br />
<br />
So, I lit a candle for him, looked through some pictures of him and sobbed.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the morbid, long post. I didn't plan on it being this long, it just turned out that way. Thanks for taking the time to read this and next Sunday's post will be about the release of book 2 of my Immortal Series which is going to be released on my dad's birthday, 8/13 to honor his memory. Can't wait for you all to read the series. Book 1, Immortal Heirs is already available on Amazon, Smashwords and Draft2digital so go check it out because the books need to be read in order to understand what's going on.<br />

<br />
I just wanted to let you all know why my Vampire Queen Trilogy is no longer available on Amazon.<br />
<br />
A new publisher (Caliburn) came in and took over Eternal Press who had published my book previously but was having some difficulties at the end so they sold the company.<br />
<br />
My contracts on my books were up and after much disagreement, the rights to my books were given back to me but I cannot use the original covers as they belong to the publisher.<br />
<br />
So, after my Immortal Series, I am going to go over my Vampire Queen Trilogy, book by book and re-vamp (yes, pun intended) them and give them new covers before putting them back up on Amazon and hope they won't give me any problems.<br />
<br />
Condemned by a Vampire also falls into the above category but that will be my last project. I've found I really enjoy making covers and if I get some done before the books, I'll post them on here for you all to see.<br />
<br />
Keep Reading!<br />

<br />
I know it's been a while but I've been very busy! I have managed to come up with a new vampire/dragon shifter series I think you are going to absolutely LOVE!!! I'm calling it my Immortal Series as here are the titles so far:<br />
<br />
1. Immortal Heirs<br />
2. Immortal Desires<br />
3. Immortal Vultures<br />
4. Immortal Freedom<br />
<br />
Book 1 was released on 7/2/2017 and is still .99cents on Smashword.com.<br />
<br />
Book 2 has been written and I'm in the re-editing process before I send it off to my amazing Editor, Jessica Sawa.<br />
<br />
Book 3 is writing itself in my head at all times and I can't wait to get started with it.<br />
<br />
For these books, hubby bought me some new graphics software and with the help of the lovely Brandi Kennedy, I've been able to make my own covers for the three books so far. Wanna see the covers? Here we go!<br />

Set along the Florida Gulf Coast, this young adult psychological thriller is a heart-wrenching, edge-of-your-seat story about eighteen-year-old Jeannie Kynde who is locked away in Deadwater Manor, a psychiatric hospital with an unscrupulous past. In her words, she shares what it’s like to endure psychiatric treatments, mentally unstable patients, a sadistic nurse and a tempting attendant. Can she find the strength to survive the nightmare that is now her world?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, what was the inspiration for this story?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As the cover states, Deadwater Manor was inspired by true events, so I wanted to share what this means.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">About eight years ago, I wanted to see if I could write dark. I had already written a historical time travel, which was more on the adventurous side (this will be released later this year). At first I thought I'd write a ghost story, and I remembered that my dad worked at psychiatric hospitals during short spurts of his life, both state and private. He rarely talked about his time there. My mom had said it was because he was upset over things he saw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, I finally asked him. There were no ghosts, but he mentioned how he felt bad for the young girls because sometimes they were admitted against their will by families who didn’t understand depression or other milder psychiatric conditions. He also shared patient routines and how the hospital rooms were set up. And as he continued, he remembered a discovery he made in the attic. It gives me chills just thinking about it, even now, and it became the central part of the story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, though the story and hospital are completely fictional, it is based on a girl admitted against her will, my dad’s discovery and some of the patient routines, outbursts, clothing and treatments he mentioned. The rest is based on research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #16191f; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Sadly, my dad has since passed away from Alzheimers. He was a wonderful man, unlike the father in the story (which he always reminded me to make clear!). Before he became too confused, I let him know I dedicated the book to him. I knew he understood when he became weepy. I'll be thinking of him on March 31.<span style="position: relative; top: 3pt;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Here's some more information on Sandie for you:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">What type of genre do you write?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I love to write YA thrillers, historical time travel and paranormal. After my first debut, I will be releasing the first book of my time travel series later this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">What genre to you personally read?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Pretty much anything, but I tend to want to read dark, creepy books, science fiction and historical novels. I especially love novels that stay with you for a while or make you question reality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Tell me about your latest?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Caging at Deadwater Manor is based on a discovery my dad made while working at a psychiatric hospital. It gives me the creeps just thinking about it! He also shared patient routines and hospital routines that helped me provide a more realistic storyline. So, the story is fiction, but it’s inspired by my dad’s discovery and I’ve incorporated some actual happenings here and there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Is there a message in your book that you want readers to grasp?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">There is. This book is for mature young adults because there are some situations where the main character, Jeannie Kynde, struggles to choose the right path for herself, especially since she is drugged and her survival instinct is kicking in. I think young adults have (unfortunately) had to make difficult choices at times, and I hope this story helps them see that they should stick to their own ethical values. Also, sometimes you need to forgive yourself, which can be so hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sorry I've AWOL for a while. I've been working hard on two books at the same time. Here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Bipolar Biography called Inside My Head. It's my story about my diagnosis and how it's affected certain parts of my life and past and how it currently affects my life. Like I said, it's a biography that I'm sure some of you would think of me differently (as I reveal a lot of secrets and weaknesses in the book), I'm just hoping you get the message that Bipolar is a real disease and affects life in every way!!<br />
<br />
2. The second book I'm working on is a vampire book (surprise) with a boxing/UFC type of twist. It's taken a lot of research which burned me out so I put it aside and started working on book one. However, I got my mojo back so I'm working on it again.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm still doing the Horror/Paranormal ezine and am always looking for submissions so if you want more info, please email me at darknesswithin,jpierce@gmail.com!!! We love having new people!!<br />
<br />
That's it for now.<br />
<br />
Thanks and keep reading!<br />

<br />
So, I'm going to do something different today. I'm doing a cover reveal for MYSELF!<br />
<br />
Some of you may know I've been working on a book about a 'cousin' in Brazil. Well, it's finished and live on Amazon but I'm doing a fb event to reveal the cover today at: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/179071925774623/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/179071925774623/</a><br />
<br />
I am so excited about this book. I even have it translated into Portuguese as my 'cousin' doesn't speak English and I'd like her to be able to enjoy it too! Here is the cover:<br />

Vampire of Brazil-English edition<br />
Vampiro do Brasil-Portuguese edition<br />
<br />
will be live on Amazon!!! I got the covers and man, are they awesome! You can thank the amazingly talented Lindsey Jayne on fb for the great covers!! I haven't revealed them on fb yet as I'm going to have a party for it around Christmas. However, you, my blog followers are going to get the first look at it:<br />

<br />
I just wanted to let you know that I finished my edits on Vampiro do Brasil and have sent it off to my editor, Jessica Sawa who is fantastic! I'm also waiting on the final version of the cover and will do a huge cover reveal party on facebook between Thanksgiving and Christmas sometime so I'll keep you updated. Please sign up for my newsletter for the latest updates! I'm so excited! I can't wait and I'm especially excited that it will be available in Portuguese for all my friends in Brasil so they can read it too since it's set in Brasil! Once I get the edits back, I'm going to start translating it while I wait for the covers. I've never done this before so it's all very exciting for me! I miss Brasil so much!!! I only lived there for 6 months in 1991 but it feels just like yesterday! I still have an entire box of stuff I brought back from Brasil that I was looking through the other day. Ah, the memories! My only regret is that I broke my foot and had to return before Carnival which is bigger and better than Mardi Gras in New Orleans I'm told. One day I'll get back there. I just recently connected with a bunch of my school friends from 1991 which was a ton of fun! I know Christiane, the girl the book is based on is also excited for the book. She said she'd always wanted to be a vampire and my book is making her just that so she can't wait for the release of the Portuguese version as she doesn't speak English! I tried to incorporate as much of her life that I could in the book...sometimes using names that related to people for her without even knowing.<br />
<br />
My next project, might, be a script as it would be a great movie! The story is already written so I just need to turn it into a movie script. I have a great friend, Thom Futrell who is a screenwriter and said he'd help me which I just might have to take him up on it. It's a vampire (of course) horror story, also set in Brasil (see a theme here?) or I may start book two of Vampiro do Brasil...yes, I ended it on a cliffhanger...sorry to those that don't like that but I enjoy it and hopefully gets you to buy both books! I just don't know how I'm going to top book 1! My mind is working overtime so my sleeping schedule is crazy as I can't turn my brain off. Sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night to write down dreams I've had to include in the story. Ahhhhh, the life of an Author!!!!<br />
<br />
Keep Writing!<br />

<br />
Just wanted to update you on Vampiro do Brasil. It's finished like I said before. Now I'm just doing my own edits before I sent it off to my wonderful Editor-In-Chief, Jessica Sawa!!! She's chomping at the bit to get the book. 'Spoke' with the Cover Artist and she'll have some options for me to look at after this weekend (Lindsey Jayne)!<br />
<br />
I thought you might like to see what I'm listening to while writing and editing. Unfortunately for you, it's all in Portuguese but I understand it fine and it brings back such great memories:<br />

All but one are Fabio Jr. who was very young when this album came out. The last song is from the show Vamp on their novella tv when I lived there (It was about vampires, obviously, but that's why I loved the show even when I could't speak the language yet). I managed to get all the episodes on dvd so I've been watching them too (or at least listening to them while I do my work)!<br />

I'm so excited about this book that there is going to be a second one. Sorry folks, but book one ends on a cliffhanger but I assure you the sequel won't be too far behind.<br />
<br />
Today is Veteran's Day so please thank a Veteran. My dad was in the Army and my hubby was in the Navy.<br />
<br />
That's all for now!<br />

<br />
Just wanted to give you an update on Vampiro do Brasil! I'm officially finished with the book and have ideas to make it a sequel! Now, it's just editing for me which always takes me a while as I tend to re-write scenes, add things, change things, etc. Got a great resolution for the cemetery picture for the cover, which Lindsey Jayne is working on me with my pics! Can't wait to see it! Once it's published, I'm going to be translating the entire book into Portuguese and sending it to some friends in Brasil! I'm so excited but this is the part I hate the most. Also, was able to find some old friends in Brasil thanks to a pic I sent my 'sister' so I've been on facebook connecting with them instead of editing. That damn fb wormhole! lol<br />
<br />
Anyway, just wanted to let you know where I am. There's another man that comes into Christiane's life in the end of the story and here was my inspiration:<br />

<br />
Just wanted to give you a quick update on my progress. I have about 24,000 words and I'm just working on my marry way to the end. I was hoping to be done by Christmas and I'm pretty sure I'm going to achieve that goal. I finally found and got permission from Ivo Korytowski to use his picture of the St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Rio de Janiero, Brazil (for the cover) which is famous and where my main characters' ancestors had their houses in real life. Here's the pic:<br />

I'm still looking for a second man for my story. I'm looking for long dark hair and light eyes. Right now I might use the below pic but the search is still on. I'll let you know when I find the perfect one.<br />

<br />
I haven't really kept up with my blogging on here but I wanted to share with you my newest project. When I lived in Brasil for 6 months during high school, it made lasting impressions on me including my 'family'. Well, now, 24 years later, I have found my 'sister' on facebook. Her cousin found out about me and contacted me. We have developed a great relationship though she speaks little English. Luckily, I still remember a lot of Portuguese and we've been PM'ing a lot.<br />
<br />
I had not been writing as I seemed to have writer's block and was uninspired. Then one day, my 'cousin', Christiane posted a pic of her. When I showed my hubby, he and I immediately said, "Vampire"! The more and more I looked at it, the more inspired I became. I wanted to use it as the cover for my next book and after getting an excited 'yes' from her, I started writing the story. Most of it is in English but has some in Portuguese. She agreed to correct my Portuguese and was thrilled to be part of the project. She said, "I've always wanted to be a vampire and now here you are putting a cape on me, I'm so happy". She had originally contacted me because I am a vampire Author and she wanted to read my books my 'sister' had spoken about. Unfortunately, since she doesn't speak much English, it was hard for her. I looked into getting a book transcribed into Portuguese and it's about $9,000 so that won't be happening any time soon.<br />
<br />
Thus started my current work where I can proudly use both languages. With her permission, I have even named my main character after her. I sent her the first almost 4 chapters and she was excited by it. Here's the pic that inspired me:<br />

<br />
<br />
Christiane is such a great woman. With 2 grown children and a 3 year old, she owns her own photography company which she runs out of her house. She's just an amazing and cool lady.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to have the book out by the beginning of the year, just depends on how fast I can get the story put together. I have so many ideas so hopefully it will come out as great as I'm expecting! There's so many things I want to incorporate, mythology, witches, vampires (of course) and the country of Brasil! So much research, so little time but I'm loving every minute of it!<br />
<br />
Once I have it almost ready, I will be holding a facebook event to promote it with Author takeovers, trivia, giveaways and plenty of prizes so keep your eyes peeled around the end of the year. Well, I'm off to keep working on the story, Vampiro do Brasil! Let me know what you think!<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here's my review for book 2:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">This book was even better than the first one! The story carried over seamlessly. The Author has a way of writing that just draws you in and makes you feel like the story is happening around you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">You have the synopsis above so I'll let you read that as I don't want to give anything away! The emotions in this book run very high. I found myself living and dying with every word. The connection the Author establishes between reader and characters is refreshing and hard to do but she does it very well. This book is also an A+++ and I can't wait to read the third and final (boohoo) book where hopefully everyone gets there comeuppances!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here's my review for book 1:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Invoking the Witch was the perfect title for this book! I found myself in this story as one of the characters and could easily relate to the story. It was if the Author wrote it just for me which I not easy to do.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">**NO SPOILERS HERE**</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Pregnant women are disappearing and when they are found, their babies have been cut from their wombs. Spring into action Ameila, DCI, who has been assigned to solve these murders. The things she sees, battles she has to make it through along with the sexual tension between her and Blake are enough to make her crazy. Nothing in her past cases have prepared her for this case.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The Author, Lindsey Jayne’s writing is wonderful and relatable. She has a way of drawing the reader in, gripping you and pulling you through the book. I started reading the book and could barely function until I could read more. It’s a story that’s stuck with me and probably one of the best Paranormal stories I’ve read in a long time. She’s got a new book called Allegra’s Song, an erotic tale and I can’t wait to read it also. Hope she does more of The Faction Series, Invoking the Witch is just the beginning. She leaves it on a cliffhanger so if you like books that are all tidied up in the end, this one is not for you but it’ll convert you. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series!!! A++++ book!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Lindsey lives in Derby, England with her partner, Simon and their Bedlington Terrier, Huxley<br /><br />While she loves to read and write, she also likes to shop for expensive luxuries she likely doesn't need, with money she definitely does not have! In order to fund her addiction, she works full time as a Recruitment Consultant.<br /><br />When she isn't indulging in a spot of retail therapy, she can be found glued to some form of computer playing one 'shoot 'em up' game or another! She also likes painting, photography, interior design and psychology.<br /><br />She isn't a complete hermit, though. She also loves to spend time with her family, friends and loved ones doing any number of socially acceptable (most of the time) things.<br /><br />She is a huge fan of paranormal, thrillers and erotic fiction. And if all three are combined, she is in heaven. Especially when it comes to Alpha males!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Just wanted to let you know about my new endeavor. My hubby and I have started a group called West Coast Author Events. We are going to be moving to Las Vegas in September. We are going to hold yearly or bi-yearly Author events. You can find the blog link (please follow my new blog) <a href="http://westcoastauthorevents.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. The first event is going to be in Las Vegas in 2016. We can move the events all over the West Coast each year (California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, etc.). So all you West Coast Authors and Readers, get ready for the invasion...lol. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in coming or comment on the post of the other blog I gave you above. Hope to see all my West Coast Authors there!<br />
<br />Keep Writing!<br />

<br />
I know I don't write on here probably as much as I should. I typically reserve it for special Authors or special events. As some of you may know, I've been working on this vampire research book since Fall of 2010. Yes, 2010!!!!! It's going to be entitled A Society's Intoxication with Vampires. It's going to be a who's who and what's what of vampires. I've been taking a lot of my research from J. Gordon Melton's The Vampire Book The Encyclopedia of the Undead. After 30 minutes of searching the other day, I finally found an email address for Mr. Melton. I emailed him and asked him to write the Introduction to my book. I never thought I'd get an answer but low and behold, in my inbox, there was a short email from him. He said he'd be happy to write the Intro and to keep in touch with him as the book comes near to being complete! Can you believe it? After my computer erased 5 pages of written research, I vowed never to write again but three weeks later, I'm staring at his book and I couldn't help myself and now I'm going to have a great addition to it with his voice starting off my book!! Can things get better for an Author? Well, I guess if it was Anne Rice writing it that would be better but I'm stoked with Mr. Melton. Hoping to have the book done by the end of the year for Christmas and actually going to pay for a professional cover, not something I've thrown together by a great cover artist Donald Semora who's worked with my fb group for our charity book covers which he charged us nothing for since it was for charity. Things are really starting to fall into place...now all I have to do is get the darn thing written!!! lol Wish me luck and hope you all like it when it comes out!!!<br />
<br />
Keep Writing!<br />
